Can you guys BELIEVE Bush's big brass ones in regards to the NIE Report?

[Danger Mouse]

Where does Bush get the hubris to say that the NIE Report is just EVIDENCE that Iran has a weapons program???
That's like taking the CIA's assertions that the Niger yellow cake documents were forged, and saying that's it's just evidence that Saddam was seeking Nukes. What kind of asshole would do that?
Oh.
It's kind of funny, but at the same time, it's pretty damn scary, too. Bush is determined to have his war come hell or high water, and no small thing like 'the truth' is going to get in his way.
Bush just amazes me. How does that man think the way he does? Does he think at all? Does he expect that the American people are going to buy his blatant lies everytime he spews them out? It's just too incredible.
I can only hope and pray that Bush won't attack Iran...and pray that if he does, Biden keeps his promise.
It's gone beyond far enough.
I mean, he just spits on the truth. He wipes his ass with it. How can such a man call himself the leader of the free world?

1. We have to revoke their library card so they can't gain KNOWLEDGE of nuclear weapons. n/t

6. Ah yes, I can just see it now. President Ahmedijad pulls up in his car...

after returning from the library.

'Look what I found!' He proclaims triumphantly, waving 'Nukes for Dummies' in the air.

'Now, at last, we will have the means to wipe the Great Satan from the face of the earth. If only my worthy adversary George W. Bush had been allowed by our good friends the Democrats to bomb us into oblivion, he might've had a chance to stop us!'

And President Ahmedijad and his evil mullah cronies let loose with a long and deep wicked laugh, the type only heard from James Bond-type super villains.

2. Yep, balls as big as church bells! nt

[Danger Mouse]

3. Apt, and unsettling comparison

:hi:

[Disturbed]

12. Busholini is a Silver Spoon Sociopath.

It has nothing to do with "balls". Sociopaths do not care about what others think
of them because they are only concerned with their own warped view of themselves.
Busholini really thinks that he will have a great second career as a Speech Maker
to shore up his coffers. He will be an Asshole right to the very last day of his illegitimate post.
This creep has his own reality. Americans will suffer his reign for many years.
Thank you Dems.

[Danger Mouse]

13. I have trouble deciding what his deal is

if he's evil, or crazy, or just a cynical manipulator...
or perhaps all of the above.

[C_U_L8R]

4. it's got nothing to do with balls

he's just a dick

[Danger Mouse]

8. a tremendous one, at that.

[tridim]

9. Hehe, I think he just doesn't care.

He really thinks his reality is real.

[rucky]

5. If there was any question of his sanity before, it's answered now. n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

7. I'm with ya .......

.... I only wish I were still capable of mustering sufficient outrage. Everything this guy does is worser than the last thing he did, which we all thought would be the worst possible. Then he does more. My capacity to feel outrage is out of gas.

[Danger Mouse]

10. I'm incredulous, and disgusted, but not angry. I have trouble being angry at him anymore.

I just can't put that much emotion into one person.
I'm gradually feeling angrier towards most of Congress, which seems inclined to not do much of anything about it.

[napi21]

11. I don't consider that as having brass ones!

to me, having brass ones means someone is brave, courageous, and speaks what they believe is the truth no matter what the fallout might be! That sure as hell isn't Shrub! I'm much more inclined to call him sh*t for brains and an arrogant AH!

[Danger Mouse]

14. Ah...I equate it with saying someone has 'chutzpah'

...which can be a good thing on rare occasions, but in this case, it is not.

[MaineYooper]

15. seconded

This is cowardice, mixed with arrogance and stupidity, not "brass balls."

It is the absolute unwillingness to accept or even acknowledge the possibility of error.

A truly strong person, one with "brass balls" as you say, can admit he or she was wrong, learn from it, and move on.

In contrast, our pResident is pig-headed and petty, and he lives in an insular world filled with enablers and yes-men who will never force him to see this. (though at 60 years old, there's probably not much point in trying)

It must truly suck to be him.

[CJCRANE]

16. IMO this was Bushco's

intended MO from the get-go...never give an inch, never admit mistakes, just go towards the PNAC goals no matter what...lie, cheat, steal, bully, make it up as you along, in short create reality to suit yourself.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. I suppose I should be suprised but..............

NOTHING, not even "objective reality, over the course of his Presidency has EVER changed his mind about anything and the people who surround him in his (mis-)administration, in the RW media (and the MSM), and in his party have all repeatedly enabled him to spin, deny, obfuscate, deflect, etc. any contradictory information or information that doesn't somehow suit his purposes. Heck, he has never actually admitted that he has made any mistakes let alone apologized or taken direct responsibility for ANYTHING during the course of his (P)residency. So, no, unfortunately, I'm not surprised that he is once again refusing to face reality in regards to the NIE on Iran and (amazingly) he actually seems to be using it to bolster his already well known preconceived ideas about what he WANTS to do in regards to Iran. I have no doubt in my mind that he and Cheney (and other assorted lunatics inside and outside of the White House) are practically creaming their pants at the thought of bombing Iran before the end of their term in office. The good thing about the release of this NIE is that it is apparently highlighting (as though it wasn't plainly obvious before) his disconnect with reality and (hopefully) cooling any enthusiasm among Congress and the military for supporting any imminent (unprovoked) military action against Iran. Bush could still do something I suppose but if he does, I highly doubt that Congress and the public will support an unprovoked attack on Iran like they did with Iraq and such an action might (finally) provoke enough public outrage to land him and Cheney in front of an impeachment tribunal......maybe.

18. Did you read the NIE?

"We assess with high confidence that until fall 2003, Iranian military entities were
working under government direction to develop nuclear weapons."
