does this quote from * make sense? is it just me?

[bertha katzenengel]

"I think the Iraqi people dealt the insurgents a serious blow when we had the elections," Bush said. "In other words, what the insurgents fear is democracy because democracy is the opposition of their vision."

Eh? How's that, George?

You know, if you didn't pay any attention to politics but you caught a snippet of one of this guy's speeches, you have to go, "that's the president talking? :wtf:"

1. Well, at least he's giving the rebel fighters credit for having a vision.

Unlike him.

:hi: Bertha.

3. Hi, Maddy

Would the sentence have made a bit more sense if he had said "opposite" instead of "opposition?" Maybe he doesn't realize they're two different words.

[Maddy McCall]

5. Yes, I thought so when I read it.

But I actually give him credit for creating a complex sentence with more than one phrase. :D

2. Nothing he says makes sense.

4. interesting freudian slip in that quote:

"I think the Iraqi people dealt the insurgents a serious blow when we had the elections," Bush said. "In other words, what the insurgents fear is democracy because democracy is the opposition of their vision."

sooooo...the elections we forced on them showed their democracy. oops! didn't mean to say it that way, right Georgie?

[Maddy McCall]

6. I thought the same thing.

7. Same thing

jumped out at me

8. Cursive you!!! I readed that 3 times and still couldn't orginsaze

in my head what it's about!

Of course that could be because I read the Hate Mailbag too early today, and because so much of what W** says needs some orginsazion-like work before it would make much sense.

9. he sure as shit knows how to

"catapult the propaganda". . ."dudn't" he. . . ?

11. Why does he always think we need it broken down in laymans

by using "in other words"?

The original words got the message across, they were just stupid.

[bertha katzenengel]

12. Because HE needs it broken down that way!

He can't think beyond the lowest common denominator because that is all he understands. :grr:

13. "Burble, wombats, freedom, 9-11, penguins, gleep."

Said the leader of the free world. "Hey! There's a hand up my ass! Weeee-ha! Anybody want to streak across the lawn? Let's go for a bike ride today! Gosh being President is fun. Whippet?"

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

-- George W Bush at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill held August 05, 2004 at the Pentagon.

Sometimes I just don't know whether to laugh or to be frightened of this AWOL asshole.
