Chief Blue Meanie says "money trumps peace!"

[Swamp Rat]

From the text of Bushler's Press Conference:

(snip)

Q: A lot of our allies in Europe do a lot of business with Iran. So I wonder what your thoughts are about how you further tighten the financial pressure on Iran, in particular, if it also means economic pain for a lot of our allies.

BUSH: It's an interesting question. One of the problems, not specifically on this issue, just in general, that - let's put it this way: Money trumps peace, sometimes.

In other words, commercial interests are very powerful interests throughout the world. And part of the issue in convincing people to put sanctions on a specific country is to convince them that it's in the world's interest that they forego their own financial interest.

Just what does he mean by "recycle?" :hide:

1. Another masterpiece!

I believe that the secret to your brilliance is that you make * appear as disturbing as he really is.

Wow, the press here on this side of the pond took a pass on the quote of the century but the brits are going to run with it.

He finally spoke the truth. Money always trumps peace. All wars are about money.

7. Quote from Q&A portion: Why hasn't this statement been brought up?

"Two such goals are Iran, convincing the Iranians to get rid of its nuclear weapons."
This statement really bothered me. How does he get away with this?

Here's the whole exchange:

Q Mr. President, on Russia. Is the Vladimir Putin who said the United States is undermining global security and provoking a new arms race the same Vladimir Putin whose soul you looked into and found to be trustworthy? Has he changed? Are U.S.-Russian relations deteriorating?

THE PRESIDENT: I think the person who I was referring to in 2001 is the same strong-willed person. He is a person with whom I have had agreements and disagreements throughout the course of my presidency and his. We've disagreed on the utility of NATO. I've tried to convince Vladimir that NATO is positive. It's a positive influence, that democracies on your border are good things to have. The democracies tend not to fight each other. And I firmly believe NATO is a stabilizing influence for the good, and that helps Russia. Evidently he disagrees with that assessment; part of his speech was expressing concerns about NATO.

There's a lot we can work together on, and that's what's important for American people to understand. We know that we've got common goals that make sense for both our peoples. Two such goals are Iran, convincing the Iranians to get rid of its nuclear weapons. And Russia's leadership on this issue is very important to getting a Chapter 7 Resolution out of the United Nations. And by the way, they were constructive in terms of the resolution I just described about North Korea. In other words, where we have common interests, and we work together on those common interests, we can accomplish important things for the security of our own people, as well as the security of the world.

And, secondly, Russia and the United States work very closely on proliferation concerns. We're both concerned about the proliferation of technologies that could end up hurting our people and other people in the world.

So there's -- it's a complicated relationship. It's a relationship in which there are disagreements, but there's also a relationship in which we can find common ground to solve problems. And that's the spirit -- that's the spirit I'll continue to work with Vladimir Putin on.

10. Jon Elliot was getting pretty creative with this audio clip last night on his show...

And playing it back towards postulated questions on just about every issue he's been involved with lately, and it fit so well, especially that nasty smirk that * giggles at the end of that quote! You have to hear it to appreciate it!

21. Remember Kruschev's "We will bury you" comment?

I will recycle you.

Bush was saying the same thing, only making it more environmentally friendly.

[Pachamama]

22. Your Topic should be titled: "Breaking News: Bushler speaks truthfully"!!!!

It's perhaps the first time the piece of shit actually has been honest!!!!

I believe that sentence, that statement, summarizes his philosophy, his beliefs, his moral compass, his motivator,etc.

All I know is that I listened to those words from his press conference in stunned silence...because its honestly what this man believes and knows to be true....Iraq and the war there has been all about it: $$$$$$
