Bush makes impassioned plea for war cash

TENILLE BONOGUORE

Globe and Mail Update, Reuters and Associated Press

U.S. President George W. Bush issued an impassioned plea to Congress on Monday for emergency cash to boost efforts in the Middle East.

In an emotive speech, Mr. Bush said the consequences of failure in Iraq “would be death and destruction in Iraq” and in the United States.

“Congress needs to put partisanship on hold. Send me an emergency spending bill that I can sign that gives our troops the support they need and gives the commanders the tools they need to complete this mission,” Mr. Bush said.

The call came on the same day that England distanced itself from Mr. Bush's “war on terror” mantra.

You fixed it just as I clicked on it and I almost thought I was the one wixing mords.

[CurtEastPoint]

12. But what's funny is it's fixed and I STILL saw Car Wash! Oh, my brain! n/t

[MUAD_DIB]

8. Woo!

You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it's better that diggin' a ditch.
There ain't no tellin' who ya might meet. .
A movie star or may be even a Commander and Chief.

(Workin' at the) car wash.

[CatholicEdHead]

20. Even after you edited it, I still read it that way

[dogfacedboy]

23. Me too! n/t

[supernova]

36. Saw "car wash" even after

it was fixed! :crazy:

I've been reading DU all day. *Sigh* my eyes must be tired. :D :rofl:

[jdadd]

2. Bush makes impassioned plea for car wash?

Car Wash...? HUH?

[leftchick]

4. lol!

[Mrs. Overall]

6. Best typo I've seen in awhile!

I thought Bush had finally lost it and was emoting about raising money for Iraq with state sponsored car washes.

[gorbal]

9. Tell me about it, my stomach is still hurting.

I hope the dems stop the funding on the war and he is FORCED to hold car washes. Maybe Karl Rove will go topless.

[Turbineguy]

13. Karl Rove topless?

I paid $.45 to find out about the Clenis.

They should hold the car washes at McDonalds. I could get a burger and a car wash for under a buck.

[dogfacedboy]

24. Rove topless?!? McDonalds?!?! Double cause for vomiting! n/t

[Dr.Phool]

10. Makes about as much sense as anything else he's ever proposed.

:rofl:

[MurrayDelph]

17. Makes sense to me:

He wants to hot wax the prisoners,

but refuses to Armor all the troops.

[Az_lefty]

7. the consequences of YOUR policy is death and destruction in Iraq

FU G.W.B!
:grr:

[BigDDem]

11. Make Pickles can whip up some cookies

and you guys can have a bake sale.

[0rganism]

33. reminds me of that old bumper sticker from 20+ years back

"It will be a great day in America when schools get all the funding they need and the Pentagon has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber."

[Flaxbee]

14. thanks for a giggle....

by the time I saw your thread title, you'd fixed it but my brain still saw "car wash". And then I read through the thread and saw that's what you'd first written -- how perfectly appropriate! I wish that's all the money this jerk had to terrorize the world - the $20 or so he'd get from a car wash or two.

[superconnected]

15. Mad sociopath pleads for more money to kill.

[Mnemosyne]

16. Hold a bake sale, dickhead. n/t

[truthisfreedom]

18. “...death and destruction in Iraq” and in the United States. PHEAR PHEAR PHEAR!

"Complete the mission" indeed, mr. prezdunt. For $2.99 you can get yourself a bag of pretzels and complete the one mission we approved of and you simply couldn't finish.

[bdamomma]

19. * is throwing a tantrum, and what is this comment supposed to mean

In an emotive speech, Mr. Bush said the consequences of failure in Iraq “would be death and destruction in Iraq” and in the United States.


death and destruction??? isn't that happening already in Iraq?

he is totally out of control, can we all scream that out together, HE IS OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!!!!!

[maxsolomon]

21. pot, kettle.

its not "partisanship", you narcissistic monster. its the FUCKING CONSTITUTION.

lord, how much longer?

[MessiahRp]

22. He has the bill with the cash in front of him, all he need do is sign

The partisanship is on his side. HE'S the one refusing to give the troops the money they need.

Rp

[bdamomma]

25. he has the money, he doesn't want that timeline.

he wants that illegal war to continue. I hope there is hot open spot destined for him.

[lpbk2713]

26. Go ask Halliburton, Asshole.

That's where it all went to. Your buddies.

[Connie_Corleone]

27. I thought you were posting an Onion article in Breaking News.

LOL!! Then I click on the thread and the title was corrected.

[OneBlueSky]

28. must have a hot line on some more property in Peru . . .

a perfect spot for his presidential library . . .

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. Wahhhh! I want my war!

:eyes: Can't we impeach this bastard already?

[gorbal]

30. That's it you guys are making me mad too!!!

Does anyon have a pettion I can sign with great vivor?

(nothing about Karl Rove and a hose please)

[Rosa Luxemburg]

31. Wouldn't it be cheaper for the taxpayers to bring the TROOPS home next week?

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

32. It's amazing. He'll never stop, will he?

Partisanship is an excuse. The war is no longer a partisan issue. We're beyond any political pissing contest. This is a morality issue. This is an issue of military strategy and global policy. This is an issue of failed leadership.

[silverweb]

34. "Impassioned plea" ??

More rightly called a wannabe emperor's tantrum.

:eyes:

F U, _george.

[Zorra]

35. It's time for tough love and intervention. Junkies will do anything for

a fix, and Chimpy's war addiction is way out of control.

No matter how much he begs and pleads, it's for his own good that we don't give him any more money to feed his jones.

[opihimoimoi]

37. and, I want the floors vacumed clean....
