Transcript: President's Weekly Radio Address (LOL!)
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,111419,00.html

Saturday, February 14, 2004

The following is a transcript of President Bush's weekly radio address:

Good morning. On September the 11th, 2001, America and the world saw the great harm that terrorists could inflict upon our country, armed with box cutters, mace and 19 airline tickets.

Those attacks also raised the prospect of even worse dangers, of terrorists armed with chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons. The possibility of secret and sudden attack with weapons of mass destruction is the greatest threat before humanity today.

America is confronting this danger with open eyes and unbending purpose. America faces the possibility of catastrophic attack from ballistic missiles armed with weapons of mass destruction, so we are developing and deploying missile defenses to guard our people. The best intelligence is necessary to win the war on terror and to stop proliferation. So we are improving and adapting our intelligence capabilities for new and emerging threats. We are using every means of diplomacy to confront the regimes that develop deadly weapons. We are cooperating with more than a dozen nations under the Proliferation Security Initiative, to interdict lethal materials transported by land, sea or air. And we have shown our willingness to use force when force is required. No one can now doubt the determination of America to oppose and to end these threats to our security.

...more...

6. The only major threat to this country
is an idiot president who purposely ignorned the warning signs of 9/ll so he had an excuse to take us to war.

8. That terrified idiot has nothing better to say on Valentine's Day
than to try to scare the Americans with his boogieman again?

No sense of caring for or even interest in the American people. It's just terror terror terror.

Do most Americans even listen to the cheerleader and his weekly terror cheer?

12. if he keeps this up, perhaps more people will consider LIHOP/MIHOP
For now, I'm sticking with MIHOP.

"Bush Knew"

"Against the backdrop of Washington, DC, the most powerful capital on the planet, I dream of the day when the power of love replaces the power of might; that will be the day our world will know the blessing of peace and our Republic will, again, be in the hands of the American People." - Cynthia McKinney, 10/26/2002

13. What a friggin’ joke for the twit to even utter....
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty… with the dropping of the test ban treaty and the go ahead on research for new generation nukes, the US is now in violation of that treaty…..put into the context of our new preemption doctrine and you essentially have the US as the major de-stabilizing force in the world today….

from the transcript:
The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, one of the most important tools for preventing the spread of nuclear weapons


This US preemption doctrine, which was drafted largely in response to the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 and which was used in justifying the recent invasion of Iraq, is likely to have serious negative effects on the NPT regime.

16. Missile defense?
Don't tell me Iraqi insurgents are building ICBM silos. This could be serious.

They should really rename NMD the National Raytheon Subsidy. There's really no other point to it.

18. do you know ANYONE...
...who listens to the weekly radio address?

ANYONE?

It's like a throwback to the 1930s. Bush probably thinks families are gathered round the old upright radio, hanging on every word, Grandma knitting and Dad smoking his pipe.

20. Actually, I am looking into
developing technology that will automatically
block the frequency of his voice on all audio transmitting
appliances in every home.
Any investors out there?
I think we could make a fortune with this little device...
Just clip it onto the television, radio, whatever, and
PRESTO! Your home is safe from all future Blathering Bush invasions.

19. What has Bush done to prevent terrorists from getting biochemical weapons?
Nothing.

Since Iraq had neither biochemical weapons nor ties to al Qaida, the invasion was a waste of time and resources in the context of the war on terror.

22. He's a "war" pResident.
What else can he talk about? He lives in a very small and odd universe of ideas.
