2. Thank you!

6. Check out the English version Bush warriors with illustration & article......

This illustration was on the cover of this week's SPIEGEL. It is a remake of a SPIEGEL cover from 2002 (below) showing President George W. Bush's cabinet on its way to war. The US Embassy in Berlin ordered 33 copies of the original illustration in poster form for the White House. There has been no word yet as to whether orders have been placed for the new version. The title reads "The Bush Warriors: End of the Show."

Avoiding Bush Like the Plague

In the twilight of his presidency, George W. seems markedly relaxed among friends. He has built himself his very own Bush World, where everything has its place. There is no such thing as failure in this world. It serves as protective armor for Bush. It is a cosmos, a virtual, Manichean cosmos in which everything is clearly delineated between good and bad, perpetrators and victims. And, in this world, anyone who is not "with us" is branded a contemptible enemy.

9. Bush actually sent them a not saying how
much he loved the first cover (2002,) totally not getting the sarcasm behind it. They got no complimentary note on the recent cover, though. ;)

16. are you serious? he loved it?
That is truly upsetting.

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer on a great thread like this, but it's shocking to me that he loved a picture like that... the whole world was involved in fulfilling his Rambo fantasties.

12. I love these!
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 06:57 PM by Pithlet
That was one of the first things I did when I got on the computer after we won. I went and looked for reactions from around the world. The reaction was even bigger than I thought it would be. The whole world rejoiced. This was my favorite quote I foound so far: Rama Yade, France's black junior minister for human rights, told French radio: "On this morning, we all want to be American so we can take a bite of this dream unfolding before our eyes."
