Bush, Iraq Minister Pledge Victory

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON - President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari stood shoulder to shoulder at the White House on Friday, both pledging eventual victory over the terrorists and their daily attacks. "I am confident the Iraqi people will continue to defy the skeptics as they continue to build a new Iraq," said Bush.

"This is not the time to fall back," said al-Jaafari.

"The enemy's goal is to drive us out of Iraq before the Iraqis have established a secure democratic government. They will not succeed," Bush said at a joint White House news confenece with the Iraqi leader.

The White House meeting came on a day in which the Pentagon announced that a suicide car bomber had slammed into a U.S. convoy in Fallujah, killing some U.S. troops and wounding more.

I'm not a bit surprised that he can't sit like a gentleman. I think he deliberately does this to appeal to his boorish, oafish "base".

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush assured Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari on Friday ``there's not going to be any timetable'' for withdrawal of American forces and vowed victory over insurgents attempting to prevent establishment of a democratic government.

``This is not the time to fall back,'' al-Jaafari concurred at a joint news conference at the White House.

Fielding questions hours after the latest attack on a U.S. military convoy left an unknown number of American troops dead, Bush conceded that it bothers Americans to see scenes of carnage on television.

Speaking of the insurgents, he said, ``There's no question there's an enemy that still wants to shake our will and get us to leave. ...They try to kill and they do kill innocent Iraqi people, women and children 'cause they know that the carnage that they reap will be on TV and they know that it bothers people to see death.''

``It does. It bothers me. It bothers American citizens. It bothers Iraqis,'' Bush said.

8. "... the enemy ...."

Oh, that fries my butt.

The enemy.

That "enemy" is doing exactly what I would be doing if some goddamned other country invaded and attacked my United States and decided it knew better than anyone how we should live, work, play, be governed - or even if we should be allowed to live.

You better believe I'd be blowing up every goddamned invader I could, and I would not stop until I was killed or got them the hell out.

WE ARE THE ENEMY IN IRAQ.

President Bush assured Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari on Friday "there are not going to be any timetables" for withdrawal of American forces and vowed victory over insurgents attempting to prevent establishment of a democratic government under a new constitution.

"This is not the time to fall back," al-Jaafari concurred at a joint news conference at the White House.

He said he would stay the course in Iraq despite public opinion polls showing dwindling support for his policy. He indicated his awareness of his domestic critics when a reporter began asking a question about whether he was concerned about a "slump" in his support.

[katinmn]

11. Might I add:

Impeach!

[katinmn]

12. kick!

[indepat]

13. When one is never wrong, a reason not to stay the course is lacking

[Democracy White]

14. In other words...

He said he would stay the course in Iraq despite public opinion polls showing dwindling support for his policy. He indicated his awareness of his domestic critics when a reporter began asking a question about whether he was concerned about a "slump" in his support.

In other words he is saying: "We're going stay forever in your country and get what we want, oil that is."

Right?

Dee

[katinmn]

19. Right. As long as there is anything left to plunder, he's

staying the course.

He says Americans are "bothered" to see scenes of carnage on television.

You f****** right I'm bothered. I'm outraged that the "giggling murderer" (as Malloy calls him) is allowed to wage an unprovoked war in our name and get away with it. What is wrong with people?

[Democracy White]

22. people are dumb

or blind.

Bush just likes to kill. I have heard he blew up frogs or something but I can't find anything on the Net about that.

[katinmn]

25. Maybe he knows if he admits lying and failure he'll go to jail.

28. Here you go, the sociopathic young bush and his torture of frogs

"Shrub" Bush's Pathological Focus On Saddam Hussein
by Alvin Wyman Walker, PhD, PD, PC
Article: February 6, 2003

Myriam Miedzian in "Growing Up Is Hard To Do" (The Baltimore Sun, 12 September 2000) perspicaciously and presciently addresses the assertion that "Shrub" Bush evidences "deficient empathic ability and a relative inability to identify with others." She writes:

So when he was a kid, George W. enjoyed putting firecrackers into frogs, throwing them in the air, and then watching them blow up. Should this be cause for alarm? How relevant is a man's childhood behavior to what he is like as an adult? And in this case, to what he would be like as president of the United States?

Cruelty to animals is a common precursor to later criminal violence. But in rural West Texas, where George W. grew up, it was not uncommon for some boys to indulge in such cruelty.

15. No Timetable for Leaving

because Bush/Cheney don't plan on EVER leaving.

[dethl]

16. This should be scaring the GOP to no end.

Their posterboy is making an ass of them. 2006 will be a very interesting election year.

EDIT: Grammar :P

[bullimiami]

17. tell the truth liar. if you pull out of iraq you lose what you went for.

and your backers lose what you promised.

a peance freance iraq where strong men and big corporations run the show and the rest bow down before you.

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. The bastard is acting like an emperor.

bush doesn't own the US, I think he is going to find it out the hard way.

[katinmn]

21. To Bushitler withdrawal is an admission of failure, guilt, lies, etc.

He will never give up willingly.

We have to FORCE him out. And we will. Sooner or later.

[JoFerret]

20. He CAN'T bring them home

...he has put himself in a trap. he has put the troops in a trap. he has put the country in a trap.
Committed to those huge permanent fortress bases already built and the promise of the oil flow.
what a mess. And who pays for it? The troops with their lives and all of us with a mortgaged future.
think how much health coverage for all would cost and shored up social secirity for three generations forward. nothing compared to this dreadful war.
He gambled. He believed his neo-con advisors. He is losing. We are all losing.

Unless one takes the view that nothing that happens with bushco is an accident. In that scenario we are screwed even worse.

[Roland99]

27. The oil is why * says we can't leave. Have to divvy it up first.

This war was *NEVER* about WMDs or brutal dictators or helping "free" the people of Iraq.

It was and always will be about privatizing Iraq's industries and natural resources for the raping by American companies. Same thing done in the 80s in Central America.

[katinmn]

31. Yup. Cheney and the Oil Barons are meeting next week to divvy up Iraq

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3931305&mesg_id=3931305

To the victors go the spoils.

The only thing is, winning in Iraq isn't quite as easy as dropping 140,000 U.S. troops in the desert.

[Vladimir]

23. Bush, imperialist puppet pledge to continue fantasising n/t

[warrens]

24. Bwahahahahaha

Yeah, Smirky, Mission fucking accomplished, you stupid dick.

[habitual]

26. Promises the next time he says "Mission Accomplished" he will mean it!

[GoldenOldie]

29. Iraqi's are "building," a new Iraq????

Then what are the foreign contractors doing over there. Jobs that should be going to Iraqi civilians are being performed by high priced foreign contractors ie., electricians, plumbers, construction workers, truck drivers, etc. Didn't the Iraqi civilians perform these jobs prior to the US occupation??

[katinmn]

32. Yes, Iraqi jobs are being "outsourced" to Halliburton.
