Bush tells Americans that a non-existent Islamic Empire will kill them

[ck4829]

"We're constantly changing tactics to achieve a strategic goal. Our strategic goal is a country which can defend itself, sustain itself and govern itself.

The strategic goal is to help this young democracy succeed in a world in which extremists are trying to intimidate rational people in order to topple moderate governments and to extend the caliphate.

The stakes couldn't be any higher, as I said earlier, in the world in which we live. There are extreme elements that use religion to achieve objectives. And they want us to leave. And they want to topple government. They want to extend an ideological caliphate that has no concept of liberty inherent in their beliefs."

Head for the hills, the Caliphate is coming to killllll youuuuu!!!!! :yoiks: :nuke: :hide:

But, hold on there for a second.

The Caliphate doesn't even exist, as the last one was dismantled in 1924.

1. Yes. There are religious extremists who want to take your freedom,

force your children to pray to their god in school, interfere in the sex lives of consenting adults, tell women what they can do with their own bodies and reproductive systems, ban the birth control pill, censor media they deem "offensive", dismantle the constitution and impose a religious Theocracy on the United States. Who think the Earth is 6,000 years old, don't believe in science, and who want to drag the world back to the 15th Century.

They're called the Republican Party.

2. This has turned into the theater of the absurd...

"There are extreme elements that use religion to achieve objectives."

Indeed, Mr. Bush, and they're all in your political party.



"And they want us to leave."

Right again, but "they" would be the American people.

4. I like "they" will follow us here if we leave Iraq

huh?

He knows it is a lost cause and is trying one last sales push
before the election .... the paper work is already under way
to divide Iraq up.

They want to extend an ideological caliphate that has no concept of liberty inherent in their beliefs."

Somebody has been reading Reader's Digest "word builders"

The strategic goal is to help this young democracy succeed in a world in which extremists are trying to intimidate rational people in order to topple moderate governments...
