He's just waiting on a US Supreme Court decision.

"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, however, has dismissed calls for the prison to be closed."

Rumsfeld is not the President of the United States so it really isn't up to him if it is closed or not. Though his statement makes clear that he would like to see it stay open.

Yeah and then open up or use an already existing center to commit the same atrocities.

Talk is cheap.

bush says lots of things

bush says lots of things
True. And he always does what he says he will do.
Much unlike Clinton who always said one thing and then did the exact opposite.

Talk is cheap.

especially considering the amount of weasel room bush imagines to exist even in clear, short, declarative statements

I love the way he puts it, "I'd love to close it tomorrow, but you know my hands are tied, I have to wait for the courts to tell me what to do."
It's strange that in other aspects of his presidency he hasn't let what the laws say bother him before.

True. And he always does what he says he will do.
Much unlike Clinton who always said one thing and then did the exact opposite.

if you all didn't loudly and publicly act like this, i'd swear it was all a bunch of ridiculously over the top parody

And, of course, Bush has never lied to the American people before.

True. And he always does what he says he will do.

Then why hasn't he fired the person responsible for the Plame leak?

Heard about this a couple of days ago. It's a step in the right direction, at least. Now they just have to go through with it...

Has he found osama bin laden?

And, of course, Bush has never lied to the American people before.

Yup.

Maybe we'll even get another carrier-show with a Mission Accomplished banner, courtesy of Karl Rove.

I really trust Bush. And ditto for the Tooth Fairy.

Has he found osama bin laden?

He *is* Osama bin Laden. You ever see them together?

Meh he'll close down Gitmo, but he'll open up another one in Egypt or some other place like that.

good point

*goes to the meeting by the docks*

Maybe we'll even get another carrier-show with a Mission Accomplished banner, courtesy of Karl Rove.

I hope he wears his lucky codpiece.

And won the war on terror? Or brought peace and democracy to the Mid East? I'd say he's a man of few words, and of course he doesn't fulfill all his promises. Politicians never do.

Now, if on only there were a way to make this murder and perverted travesty of justice undone and give those people all those years of their lives back.

Guantanamo Bay will remain a disgrace for the US for a very long time - a reminder that the "land of the free, home of the brave" is actually filled with cowards yearning for repression.

Then why hasn't he fired the person responsible for the Plame leak?

he never said he'd do that. that is a lie invented by the bush-hating liberal media. any video you may have seen purporting to show bush saying that is clearly a forgery (unlike those documents about nigerian uranium...). bush keeps telling it like it is, but it's hard to catapult over the terrorist-loving propaganda.

Meh he'll close down Gitmo, but he'll open up another one in Egypt or some other place like that.
More outsourcing--better for the bottom line.

Has he found osama bin laden?
"As of yesterday, the Bush administration still hadn't found the source of the White House leak that outed a woman as a CIA operative. To recap, here are the things President Bush can't find: The source of the leak, weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin laden, the link between Saddam and Osama bin laden, the guy who sent the anthrax through the mail, and his butt with two hands and a flash light."
— Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"

(Well, at least they've found Saddam since then, but it's still a good bit ;) )

I hope he wears his lucky codpiece.

*looks furtively around*

You know, I know a place where they got that itching-powder...

Yup. Nice, isn't it? Kinda illustrating the fallibility of even the "greatest nation on earth"... :)

More outsourcing--better for the bottom line.

the uzbeks, for example, just have a better skill set for the job, in addition to lower costs. and they've already got much of the necessary infrastructure in place.

Bush is full of hot air. How about "We need to break this addiction" [to oil]? Hmm. Oh and then there's the other recent gem about nuking Iran to teach them that developing nuclear arms is very naughty, great lesson. In some cases I damn well hope he doesn't do everything he says he wants to.

The US government has no intention of stopping torture. They haven't been a fan of the UDHR for quite some time, I see no reason why it will change now. They're just bricking it because they got caught, so Bush is saying exactly what his press advisor wants him to. Empty words. Or if he does close it, another place will take over the job.

I suppose he wants to close Guantanamo because its location is well known; another facility's location can be kept secret.

True. And he always does what he says he will do.
Much unlike Clinton who always said one thing and then did the exact opposite.

You mean like "We will find Osama bin Laden whereever he hides and bring him to justice"

Followed by

"I don't know where he is (Bin Laden) and frankly, don't care"

Or perhaps "If anyone in my administration is responsible for that leak, we will find out and punish him" (roughly)

To

*absolute silence after finding out about who actually leaked it*

Or maybe "We are not into the practice of nation-building"

And

"We are going into Iraq to free them from a dictator and spread democracy and freedom"

There's more where that came from Whittier. A lot more. I like to garnish your lies with a sprinkling of truth.

at least until those traitors in the press find out about it. luckily, bush will have a seperate facility for them.

What strikes me as fundamentally odd is the fact that people still are angry with clinton for saying this and not acting on his words while most politicians (and yes this is a generalization) have habitually and proffessionally to promise one way and compromise and go another.

BTW: Clinton was impeached for lying about an affair, then Bush lies to his own people about the actions of a nation, possible weapons of mass destruction, etc, leads them into a war on false pretences and is re-elected... I think leading a country into a war with lies is a step up from lying about who you shagged in your office...

"Quick, someone suck Bush's dick so he can get impeached."

Poor analogy. I bet he cums in two seconds flat.

Then why hasn't he fired the person responsible for the Plame leak?

Because no one knows who did it.

Shit. I'd do it. I'd take it on the face if it would get him out of office. Hell, if it would get the Republicans out of office, I'd let the entire administration circle jerk onto me while I sang "The hills are alive with the Sound of Music" in my best Julie Andrews falsetto.

To paraphrase Jesus, "No greater love hath any man than he who would be jizzed on by Republicans for the sake of the world."

Because no one knows who did it.
The person who leaked knows, and the person leaked to knows, and I suspect patrick Fitzgerald is pretty damn close to finding out.

OK, that gave me a hardon. *joins the Republican party*

2. Words.

Yeah, Right.

After all that cocaine?

I think leading a country into a war with lies is a step up from lying about who you shagged in your office...

Well, considering most of the American mentality (Puritans primarily), sex is icky while war is fun for the family, it's not much of a surprise is it? But honestly, I think it's really because most Americans never actually experienced what it was like to go through total war (actually having to fight on your land) and see the kind of destruction it wrecks.

So there's a disconnect there with the public generally being fed the thumbs up version of war news when they're involved. It would be much harder to dupe the public if there was an actual war on US soil.

After all that cocaine?

After all that Laura. That bitch be nasty.

at least until those traitors in the press find out about it. luckily, bush will have a seperate facility for them.Yup. The waiting room for press conferences. And they remain there indefinitely while the loyal press gets the interviews, the rides on airforce 1, and information.

I hate to see the guy/girl who´d volunteer for that sissyphus labourWhat about that Gannon guy? :confused:

How can sex be perceived as something worse than war?



ot:


hehe

"Rush Limbaugh is a scatmuncher"

How can sex be perceived as something worse than war?Because the Bible condemns sex but not war.

A vengeful God, he was, and ruthless too. With the pillars and the rape and the crushing and the booming voice of terror and all


Is man trying to be as much like the God of the old testament was?

The person who leaked knows, and the person leaked to knows, and I suspect patrick Fitzgerald is pretty damn close to finding out.
You're a little behind. It wasn't a "leak" because the administration can classify or declassify anything. Therefore, an administration official can't "leak" because if anything is said it is automatically declassified. Therefore, no one "leaked" the information.

Remember--It is just as true of nations as it is of people----

A good reputation is hard to get
easy to lose
and impossible to recover.

Bush & Co don't seem to be doing much to try and win back that reputation.
