Bush: Decisions Have Made Iraq More Unstable

[MtnBiker]

read the thread....

see if you can capture the satire.

either that or google the quote.

You posted the quote, I would like to see a link.

Oh...so let me get this straight. Anytime anyone who works for someone says something, that is exactly as if the person they worked for said it themselves? Do I have that right??

I hope so...

In that spirit, here is an interesting quote by George W. Bush

"And a year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after ME, the great and beneficent George W. Bush. There is no doubt that, with the exception of a very small number of people close to a vicious regime, the people of Iraq have been liberated and they understand that they've been liberated."

More of your liberal bullshit. Bolton worked for Bush. So whatever he says concerning such things as an axis of evil would be following discussions with the president.

That quote sounds like an al franken attempt to be funny. Which he never is.

true to form...I asked if anyone could provide a link where Bush called Syria a member of the axis of evil and Gunny - numb as a hake Gunny - posted two links which attribute the assignment to John Bolton.

what a tool.

And Gaffer, like a lap dog, congratulates him for his missed opportunity.

Why am I not surprised?

And manfrommaine, as usual, can't see the forest for the trees.

Right? Like Bolton is going to make a proclamation like that without clearing it with the President first.

True to form, maine wants to play his dishonest, literalist games.

that quote came from Richard Perle...He worked for Bush too... don't you suppose he cleared it with George that he was gonna tell everyone that there was going to be a grand square named after him? Don't you suppose he must have agreed?

Why is it so hard to complete to a simple request?

do you understand that this discussion concerned, at this point, the fact that George Bush has never said that Syria was a member of the Axis of Evil yet someone on here said that he had...I asked for a link and they provided quotes from a speech by John Bolton entitled "Beyond the Axis of Evil" where he mentioned new threats growing in the world and mentioned Syria in that speech. I then, somewhat sarcastically, asked if someone says something it is the same thing as their boss saying that same thing, and used, as an example, a statement made by Richard Perle, who worked for Bush, that claimed that a grand square would be named after Bush in Baghdad....I changed the voice of the quote to make it first person.

If you had read the thread, or if you were aware that one of Bush's lackeys had actually made that idiotic prediction, maybe you could have figured that out without me having to write a freakin' novella to explain it to you.

I am aware of all of that. I'm also aware that there have been some who would like to attribute that quote to Bush.

Someone giving an independent speech and someone speaking on behalf of an administration are two different things.
