Bush Accuses Russia of "Bullying"....
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080815/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush



By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent 31 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Friday accused Russia of "bullying and intimidation" in its harsh military treatment of Georgia, saying the people in the former Soviet republic have chosen freedom and "we will not cast them aside."

Bush ratcheted up his rhetoric against Moscow as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in Tbilisi, Georgia to pursue a diplomatic solution to the week-old crisis. Standing alongside Rice, pro-Western President Mikhail Saakashvili said he had signed a cease-fire agreement with Russia that protects Georgia's interests despite concessions to Moscow.



Not a defense of Russia by any means but "come the f*@k on!!" This guy has some nerve accusing another nation of bullying. We invade 2 countries and depose their governments, but somehow this fool is trying to take the moral high ground on Russia? That is the true nature of hypocrisy.

1. The hypocrisy is thick as peanut butter.
Does Bush remember a little thing Iraq, I wonder?

What a joke.

7. He actually said: "Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy
...in the 21st century."

My husband and I saw him say this on TV and we both burst out laughing. Bush** really has a problem hearing himself.

5. Here's the tangible evidence that Bush has squandered US credibility in the world.
He can't comment on a legitimate issue or concern without sounding like a complete hypocrite.
