Bush charges Kerry 'dangerous for world peace'

US President George W. Bush signed legislation extending popular tax cuts in this key up-for-grabs state and charged that Senator John Kerry's foreign policy would be "dangerous for world peace"

Bush noted that his Democratic rival voted against the 1991 war to oust Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s troops from Kuwait even though "under any scrutiny, we passed the global test" for legitimate military action.

"The policies of my opponent are dangerous for world peace. If they were implemented, they would make this world not more peaceful but more dangerous," the president declared at a campaign rally.

With less than one month before the November 2 election, Bush also likened Kerry's medical policy proposals to the failed attempt to overhaul health care that was spearheaded by then first lady Hillary Clinton ten years ago.

Can you say DESPERATE?!!!

1. No Georgie

YOU'RE Dangerous for world peace

[Carla in Ca]

51. With a statement like that,

I don't know whether to say his medication is working...or not.
He is not of our world. He is truly in his own.

[indepat]

61. An oxymoronic duplicitious world in which the opponent is labeled

with his own doings, messes and failures. GWB must either be the most ingenious or wholly disingeneous politican in our annuals.

[kayell]

2. AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[prodigal_green]

3. how can a man who

has started two wars and is planning at least two more accuse somebody else of being a danger to world peace? There is no world peace now because of the chimp.

I really liked the Clinton proposal, not such a huge fan of the Kerry plan because I, personally, would love to see socialized medicine and I don't think Kerry's plan comes anywhere near that. However, it beats the hell out of anything the chimpministration has in store for us.

[grytpype]

22. Really, where is Kerry going to invade?

And with what army?

Kerry couldn't jeopardize world peace if he tried, we HAVE NO FUCKING ARMY ANY MORE!

[CBHagman]

4. Bush keeps talking about "spreadin' the peace"

WHAT peace?! Are the coffins not coming to Dover Air Force Base? Am I going to stop reading in the paper or hearing on the radio of the death of yet another promising young man or woman serving in Iraq?

And given that Bush has bent over backwards to to alienate even our long-time allies. he shouldn't be takking about threats to peace. Didn't he figure out what was going on when all those British and Irish people demonstrated against him?

Bush has NO shame.

5. Pass the bottle over here, George!

You've obviously had too much.

6. “Look, our strategy is to create chaos, to create a vacuum.”

…
In 2000, when Prime Minister Ehud Barak, PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat and President Clinton were meeting at Camp David, Perle made news when he warned Barak not to let Vice President Al Gore become involved in the peace summit, for fear it would boost Gore's election prospects. He also told Barak to “walk away” from a peace plan if it left the thorny issue of a divided Jerusalem unresolved. Working as an advisor to candidate Bush, Perle warned Barak he would urge the Texas governor to condemn any peace plan that gave the PLO a foothold in Jerusalem. The Bush campaign quickly distanced itself from Perle's remarks.

You’re Invited to the War Party (“Bush at War” book review)
By Georgie Anne Geyer

Ever since his Watergate revelations, which helped evict a president and change the United States for all time, for better or worse Bob Woodward has stood as the major force in a new genre of journalism. He talks, wheedles, and, using government officials’ personal ambitions and dreams of political eternity, implicitly threatens his way into the often closed corridors of power—there, he is a master at getting a certain number of figures who try their best to remain aloof and unknown to tell their stories. The proposition, understood if not explicitly spoken, is that this book, as his former ones, will tell the story—you miss out on leave on this journalistic port, fellow, you miss the whole historic ship!
…
First of all, Bush at War is really about the decision-making process in the upper levels of the Bush administration—the White House, the State Department, and the Pentagon—from the exact morning of Sept. 11th. It begins with a profoundly worried George Tenet, head of the CIA and, from all of the space he gets in the book, obviously one of Woodward’s best and favored sources. That very morning, Tenet is wondering about when Osama bin Laden, whom he has been desperately tracking, will strike the U.S. Then “it” happens—and from then onward, the book delineates day-by-day, and sometimes hour-by-hour and minute-by-minute—what supposedly went on in meeting after meeting. From all accounts that I know of, Woodward’s interpretations are exactly right; it is the quotes that are so bothersome.
…
Another time, he says to Woodward, “I’m the commander—see, I don’t need to explain—I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.”

At still another point after the Afghan war has started, the president says to his staff, “Look, our strategy is to create chaos, to create a vacuum.” And Woodward ends the book with another quote from the president, in which he again reflects the obsessive chaos theory of the neoconservatives surrounding him like sentinels and for whom Iraq has become the sina quo non of political existence: “We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of our great nation.” Whew.

8. from another thread: compare/contrast

More than 180 Former U.S. Ambassadors from Republican and Democratic Administrations Endorse Kerry
10/4/2004 10:38:00 AM

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 /U.S. Newswire/ -- United by a deep concern about the mounting failures of the Bush administration's foreign policy, more than 180 former United States Ambassadors who have served under Republican and Democratic presidents endorsed John Kerry for president on Monday.
At a news conference at the National Press Club, members of Ambassadors for Kerry-Edwards issued a letter stating, "We believe it is imperative to our national security that we change the leadership of the nation we all love and elect John Kerry and John Edwards." The statement criticized President Bush for needlessly squandering the good will and support of the world following the September 11 attacks and undermining our ability to win the war on terror by eroding our strong international alliances.
(snip)
... in the last three years, the Bush administration has undermined the strong alliances American leaders worked half a century to build."
"Senator Kerry, in whom I am willing to place my trust, has demonstrated that he is courageous, sober, competent, and concerned with fighting the dangers associated with the widening socio-economic gap in this country. I will vote for him enthusiastically," wrote John Eisenhower in an opinion article...
(snip)
Recent developments indicate that the current Republican Party leadership has confused confident leadership with hubris and arrogance." Eisenhower, who served as Ambassador to Belgium is a lifelong Republican and the son of Republican President Dwight Eisenhower.

23. Exactly, what?

Your statement makes no sense in the context of this thread. Why are you here?

30. YES! Exactly

Our new friend here has posted just that all over the place.

26. This post has no merit

Neither do the other ones from this "person"

[FlemingsGhost]

35. Well .. it is one more post.

Some think post counts reflect credibility vis a vis, group acceptance.

[Love Bug]

10. Is it just me,

or is everything Boosh says about Kerry just projection?

[Dudley_DUright]

25. It is not just you

Practically everything republicans claim about democrats is projection.

[FizzFuzz]

41. nope not just you

the book "Bush On the Couch" points it out too (sorry can't remember author's name right now)
From my own reading, projection is characteristic of personality disorders like psychopathy and narcissism. The book I mentioned doesn't speak of narcissism or psychopathy, but says megalomania fits. I don't know enough about the subject to disect that....

anyway, I agree too that the whole friggin GOP has turned into an example of personality disorder.

11. Bush is a moron!

[Boo]

15. Sure, I'll feel much more safe in a world guarded by ...

by the way, does Bush even know where Pawland (Poland) is?

[MrBenchley]

16. Don't see Kerry openly inviting missile attacks on the US

pResident Twitchy, on the other hand.....

"Bush has promoted the system while campaigning for re-election.  
"We want to continue to perfect this system, so we say to those tyrants who believe they can blackmail America and the free world: You fire; we're going to shoot it down," he said during a stop at Ridley Park, Pa., on Aug. 17. "

19. WAR IS PEACE

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

[TahitiNut]

20. Over 1,200 coilition troops have found "peace" in Iraq.

Over 20,000 innocent Iraqi civilians have found "peace" in IraQ. Many, many more have been found in "peaces" in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

'War' is to 'peace' as 'George' is to 'honest.' :puke:

[Phillycat]

21. The irony is making me throw up in my mouth a little.

[truthisfreedom]

24. but bush, didn't you say during the debate that only the US matters? what

do you care about petty "global" concerns?

[grytpype]

27. Yeah, since when does he care about "world peace?"

I think his head is about to explode. Or implode, or something.

[deadparrot]

28. Pardon? WHO is the threat to world peace, Georgie!?

[Malva Zebrina]

29. He is still smarting from the whupping he got from Kerry

He can't get over it and that is true to his character. There is nothing he can say that does not look like sour grapes.

Meanwhile, Kerry is going about speaking to social issues, preparing hhimself for the next debate.

Bush is stewing in his own juice and it is going to hurt him. He cannot let go of it and that says a lot--he is obssessed with it.

A real man does not go on and on trying to "win" a debate he had four days ago.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

31. this would be hee-larious

34. Bush thought alot about peace in his "off" hours in the NG

He's a regular philosopher, that guy. Give Bush a few minutes of silence and you can actually see his brain working. And, sure enough, a few moments later his mouth will spill out the words.

36. Hey, Smirko McCokewhore! Ask April Glaspie what she meant by...

53. Muchacho posted this MSNBC poll on GD

It's five questions, and a good one, including Bush's effect on other countries' views of the US and the reinstatement of the draft.

So, as muchacho said...
DU this poll!

[chimpy the poopthrower]

54. I'm confused -- so now Bush accepts the "global test" concept?

Because during the debate, Bush pounced upon this phrase as something utterly ridiculous. And Condoleezza Rice just said on Sunday, "I heard Senator Kerry say that there was some kind of global test that you ought to be able to pass to support pre-emption, and I don't understand what that means." (http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/03/rice.bush.kerry/index.html) But now, all of a sudden, Bush is saying "under any scrutiny, we passed the global test" for legitimate military action. Does this mean they were all just playing dumb? (Well, not such a stretch for Bush, I know.)

[Pachamama]

55. Yeah, dangerous to Bush's Idea of "World Peace"...If Kerry is President

...I guess he'll mess up everything that GW has done for the World Peace, huh?

Shit for brains must be hitting the bottle again or they messed up his medication....he is sounding delusional and his statements make no sense...

The only person "dangerous to world peace" has been George W. Bush....

Gawd help us that he isn't our next President for another 4 years....the World won't be able to survive having him shove his version of democracy down their throats and neither will we....

Peace my ass....this "War President" is the worst thing to happen to World Peace since Gengis Khan....

59. He's right, bush already mentioned terrorism going down! Oh wait...

They got spanked for that, as global terrorism has been going UP ever since bush got in office.

So his policy resulted in a rise in global terrorism, yet JK is the one that is a danger to world peace?

[Bo]

60. Nicely Orwellian

Well done

[gatlingforme]

63. Yes, we might move towards world peace with Kerry in. That I guess

is dangerous for the Bush$co. Where are they going to make their millions w/o a war to fight......

[Rebel_with_a_cause]

64. which is why Cat Stevens was kept out of the US

He's peaceful.

[ElectroPrincess]

65. Consider setting aside the Muslim issue spin for a moment ...

Cat Stevens was purposefully diverted to throw more red meat to *'s radical right-wing religious fringe.

Set aside the "Let's DIS the Muslims" propaganda hoopla for a moment and consider that the Mainstream Media is silent that * rates LOWER than Kerry on Catholic Social Justice Issues.

Check out this report card:
http://www.natcath.com/NCR_Online/archives2/2004d/100104/100104w.php

Only the *Fundy's* = Protestant, Catholic, etc. will be voting for Chimpy. I seriously doubt that anyone who harbors compassion for the myriad of social justice issues would vote for *.

However, we already know that the only issue for the Fundamentalists is to make Abortion illegal. They conveniently discount *all* the other pertinent so called *Christian* social issues behind the curtain!?! (Unjust War and Occupation, Executions, Racism, Unjust Criminal Courts/Laws, indifference to the poor and suffering peoples of the world ... in favor of the wealthy and large worldwide corporations).

[gatlingforme]

66. yes, his philanthropic endeavors angered the chimp.

[robbedvoter]

67. World? What world? We no care of no stinkin' world! We're # 1!

[DFWJock]

68. Well I guess

we should all vote for Bush then since he has provided us with a safe, peaceful world. He's already proven that he can keep us safe from Cat Stevens.
