Anybody watch Bush's speech last night? Mostly same rhetoric about staying in Iraq, how it was the right choice, etc.

There were two things that caught my attention.

The first was that he admitted that Saddam wasn't involved in 9-11. I know that's been said before, but this was the first time I saw it.

The second was that he made repeated references to the 'Forces of Moderation'. What's his plan, to ship the mods down to the Middle East to make everyone play nice?

Maybe he wants the insurgents to be DEATED.

Maybe he knows no one is watching!

The sword of DEAT!

We don't even need to send them all.

With the aid of Mod Powers, Katganistan alone could end the conflicts in the middle east. :)

ISRAEL, enjoy a 2 week vacation from the fora.

LEBANON, consider this your first official warning.

IRAN... DEAT

Go get em Katganistan

:D

Fora? How ... how ... correct! :eek:

Myrth could pwn them all.

Yeah I was a little stricken by the idea of "Forces of Moderation", myself.

That's all we need, a bunch of lunatics running around blowing themselves up in marketplaces in the name of "not overdoing it".

So it's true!

I didn't hear it (can't stand to listen to him) but my boss told me at work today that he said that. I couldn't believe it! I only got home a while ago, so I haven't checked the online papers yet - please tell me there is at least an appropriate uproar over that in the US?! Or is everybody just "yeah, whatever, I don't care"??

Also, while getting ready this morning, I *thought* I heard a snippet of a speech of him on the radio news where he said "blah blah the war on terror and the war in Iraq blah blah". :eek: So, what, all of a sudden he decides that yesterday was the perfect day to admit to the world that *gasp* the war in Iraq is NOT part of the war on terror?!

Am I the only one who thinks this is major news?!

:eek:

Oh no, he still thinks it's about the war on terror, just not a war about Saddam being involved in 9/11. He's just hedging off a bit, which he's done before. So it isn't really news but some bloggers will put what he said now and what he said then side by side, but it won't effect those on the nipple much. That guy is such a fuck up that at this point if someone still supports that asshole I don't think there is much he can do outside of public baby eating that would sway them.

:eek: I think you've just stumbled across the reason Tactical Grace has left!

Whoever would have thought it? He never liked Bush, but still accepted his invitation to Mod up the terrorists.

Well, yeah, but has Bush actually ever admitted before that Saddam was in fact not involved in 9/11?

And has he ever actually separated the war in Iraq from the war on terror?? I mean, hello, wouldn't most Americans say (because that's what he wanted them to think) that the war their soldiers are fighting is fought to fight terror?

You know, I was just thinking about posting something about Hotrodia being in the secret hideout where the Mods are plotting to take over the world, now I see this.

I don't know which scares me the most: My apparent psychic abilities, or the fact that the mods aparently ARE in league with bushes attempt at world conquest.:eek:

You should watch the Daily Show more often, good at finding all the stupid lies Bush has made. :)

Nope, Iraq is the front for fighting the terrorists by the very act of invading Iraq. Maybe people think that being in Iraq will keep the terrorists occupied so they don't attack anywhere else. :rolleyes:

Actually he used associatative speech without ever (as far as I've seen) directly saying, "9/11 is Saddam's fault." That is clearly what he was trying to imply, but they would just put the two together in a statement and let people make that connection on their own. There was a time a bit ago where he directly said that Saddam wasn't responsable for 9/11 and it was a bit of a big deal then, but not much.

But he still thinks that Iraq is part of the war on terror, he hasn't changed that song. Just part of his 'larger war' on terror. It was a bigger deal when he said that he doesn't think much about bin Laden after saying he wouldn't give up etc etc.

My most cyncical is that this is actually a bone to pundits who are going to get flogged over being misled into war. They can now deflect the notion of being erroniously led to believe that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11 by saying, "The president himself said he didn't, we wheren't misled" and before you can explain how that idea was consciously constructed they've shouted themselves on to the next talking point.

Oh, I do watch it! (I watch the clips they put online, because otherwise we only get one weekly "best of" half hour on CNN International...).
But come on - who can keep track of all the lies?

Of course they do. If there are terrorists fighting against US troops in Iraq and those terrorists cannot be in two places at once, then they cannot be planning another attack against the US. However, that isn't to say that we invaded Iraq for the sole point of saying "terrorists, come and get us here!"

The one on last night was especially good. Not a lie but still great:

"I can't imagine someone like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hannakah" - G.W. Bush. :D :D :D

What the hell? :D

Unfortunately some do. Scary thought.

Couldn't have been as absurd and full of crap as his talk with some guy on the Today show.

He was doing well until he mentioned Iraq.


That kind of killed the nice remembrance.
