"The mission will be a success, and 20 or 30 years from now historians will look back on the mission to Iraq as America's golden moment."

"In this War there is Only One Option, & that is Victory" ..bush- 5 27 05

.......AMERICA'S GOLDEN MOMENT?....just fucking shoot me

yeah, right

[Just Me]

1. ",...& that is victory,...for the super rich, abusive corporacrats"!!!!

:grr:

[Justin54B20L]

2. At what cost, victory?

How many American lives?
How many self-repressed freedoms?

I know that failure is not an option, but where lies the point when what we are fighting for no longer exists?

"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression;for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."

3. so it's all about gold eh? i knew it

from the golden age of greece to the greasy age of gold.

america's golden moment...oh, yeah, i get it now.

[ernstbass]

4. Maybe a golden shower moment

[mopaul]

5. we need a collective shower after the filthy scum they've left us

[BrainRants]

11. As he pisses on the constitution, the UN, the environment, the poor, etc.

Yup, definitely a "Golden Moment"

[triguy46]

6. yeah and his midas touch

it looks like shit, smells like shit and he can eat and tell us if its gold or shit.

[Maestro]

7. He and the other Bushlers are trying to lay the seeds

and write future history. The whole thing has been such a cluster*uck that they all know that it is time to start projecting the future for an ignorant public. Pretty soon history books will start referring to it as the "golden" times in Iraq brought you by Haliburton, eh, I mean the US military.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. You got it

As George Orwell said: "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." In this case of Bush he's controlling the present so he can (try) to control the future. Not only for himself but for this part of our history as well.

[Maestro]

14. I just can't believe that 54 million

are that gullible!!!!!!!!!!!! :eyes:

[Old and In the Way]

8. What's he care what historian's think?

We'll all be dead by then. A change of heart?

Keep dreaming Dimson.

[DemBeans]

9. he's deranged - utterly mad

This is wrong on so many levels, so deceptive, so completely out of the range of a sane mind.

Is torturing innocent people a "golden moment"? Killing women and children with impunity a "golden moment"? Lying to the American public a "golden moment"?

This just makes your head explode.

[Roxy66]

10. They like me..They really like me.... Don't they?

[TimeChaser]

13. You can't paint a brick yellow and tell me it's gold.

:eyes:

[spindoctor]

15. Was that before or after he called himself the peace candidate?

Our President was never the sharpest bulb in the tool shed, but lately he seems to have really lost it.

Back on vitamins maybe?

[Aristus]

16. Yeah, right.

The abolition of slavery
Women's suffrage
WWI
The New Deal
WWII
The Marshall Plan
The Berlin Airlift
The Salk vaccine
The civil rights movement
The Peace movement
Apollo 11
Apollo 13
The Camp David Accords
The Miracle on Ice
The liberation of Kuwait
The first-responders of September 11th

Not "Golden Moments"

The intergalactic carnival freak-show that IS the Iraq War, unmitigated slaughter of innocents, plundering the precious resources of a sovereign nation, grandstanding in the face of the world's hatred, etc., etc.

THIS is a "Golden Moment"

:eyes:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Oh, sure.The goldenest moment since the fall of Saigon.

Was he confusing "golden moment" with "golden shower"? Because I think he's pissing on all of us from a great height.

[kenny blankenship]

18. Visualizing a Chimp pissing in the face of the statue of Liberty!

[Octafish]

19. BFEE's getting all the gold, all right.

20. It will have that beautiful Viet Nam glow of success

America's golden moment will be when it finds Dubya guilty of war crimes and hangs him at the end of a rope.

[jokerman93]

21. Sounds like

Sounds like Col. CukooBananas is praying for a miracle. LOL.

[paineinthearse]

22. "The mission will be a success, and 20 or 30 years from now historians wil

Unfucking believeable. Rice, in San Francisco, said almost the same thing. Her transcript was not on the state department site last I checked; with the holiday, probably will not be there till Tuesday.

This must be the operative buzz phrase for the weekend.

Watch the Sunday morning funnies to confirm.

[warrens]

23. They're just fucking with us now

The speechwriters must have been rolling on the floor, pissing themselves. "You're gonna make the chimp say WHAT? BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

[Swamp Rat]

24. They've upped the chimp's meds... now I need some.

:smoke:

[Catshrink]

25. Booze, pot, or blow?

The man definitely lives in a different reality. Maybe Pickles put something in his Cheerios.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. "Golden Shower" is more like it.

:grr: Piss on the world. :grr:

[Bozita]

27. I watched that speech live -- applause was tepid, at best

In some of the applause breaks, the clapping was coming from a couple of dozen folks.

That speech was NOT well received.

GWB was clearly not prepared for such a reception.

[mopaul]

28. yeah, and the audience was a military academy

graduates, not all that enthused, can you blame them?

[Bozita]

29. These grads joined the Naval Academy shortly before 9/11

I don't think any of them foresaw the world they're graduating into.
