Bush: "I'm Sure People View Me As A War Monger"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Source: The Huffington Post

..."I have talked to these leaders face to face," he said. "I have asked them point blank, 'Do you understand how difficult these issues are?' Yes. 'Are you prepared to make the painful political compromises?' They say they are."

Despite that optimism, the president also said that he does feel misunderstood in the Middle East.

"My image is 'Bush wants to fight Muslims.' And, yes, I'm concerned about it. Not because of me, personally. I'm concerned because I want most people to understand the great generosity and compassion of Americans," he said.

"I'm sure people view me as a war monger and I view myself as peacemaker," the president said. "They view me as so pro-Israeli I can't be open-minded about Palestinian peace, and yet I'm the only president ever to have articulated a two-state solution. And you just have to fight through stereotypes by actions."

[fenriswolf]

[Ian David]

34. I'd support a war on Christofascism. n/t

[fenriswolf]

36. but to a lot of christians it would

sound as if they were personally being persecuted against. thats my point.

[Ian David]

38. Die, Heretic!

Sorry, got carried away.

[sinkingfeeling]

3. Psst, you are a war monger and a liar and a coward.

[saigon68]

52. "Bring Em On" shouted the AWOL CHIMPANZEE

[Magleetis]

4. He is out of his mind

"And you just have to fight through stereotypes by actions."

Say, like murdering countless thousands. FUGWB

[rfranklin]

5. Compromise means everyone else gives him what he wants...

that is central to the Bush lexicon...with the emphasis on "con."

[Hydra]

12. Exactly

"Are you prepared to make the painful political compromises?"

Translation: "Are you prepared to give me everything I want and more, in return for me not burning your country to the ground?"

Damn, our "leadership" sounds more like the Soviets every day.

[zabet]

6. "I view myself as peacemaker,"

Delusional much chimpboy?
:crazy:

[grytpype]

7. A war monger, a liar, a criminal, a madman, a bungler

I can't say enough good things about him.

[saigon68]

54. A War Criminal

[alfredo]

8. No Shit Sherlock.

[niyad]

9. georgie, you deluded, drunk jerk--you are viewd as a warmonger because you ARE

YOU may see yourself as a "peacemaker", but that is only because you are totally, completely divorced from reality.

HOW many hundreds of thousands dead, wounded, displpaced? HOW far in debt are we?

go away, please, and NEVE, EVER come back.

[bdamomma]

15. viewing of UFO's in Texas can they please take a detour to DC?

Please????

[iconoclastic cat]

10. "Not because of me, personally."

Stupid, clueless sack of crap.

[niyad]

11. most people who are THAT divorced from reality are generlly living in the happy dell

home, and not allowed to play with sharp objects, much less things that go BOOM.

[balantz]

13. Shrubby, you are a stick of dried dog-shit, ready for the dump.

[bdamomma]

14. oh my god, he is one sick man.

and so full of himself. He knows exactly what he is doing, he is playing all of us.

[Mountainman]

16. Just wait until the right does it's revisionist history of shrub. He will be the man who brought

peace to the Middle East. Peace through war, by the war president.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. Poor misunderstood little president.

Why can't people understand that just because he encourages war, deals arms, breeds terrorist like viruses and actively engages in the destruction of other countries, he's really all about peace?

Is he really that delusional?

[Christa]

18. no kidding

:puke:

[sakabatou]

19. The delusion! IT BURNS!

[Hissyspit]

20. Shoe, Meet Foot That You Fit. n/t

[liberal N proud]

21. He finally got something right

We do see him as the war monger that he is.

If it bothers him to be a called war monger maybe he should stop trying to start new wars for no apparent reason.

[bdamomma]

22. he probably just loves being called a war monger.

[dkofos]

23. No, not war monger. WAR CRIMINAL!!

Off to the Hague with him.

[2beToby]

24. It took him 7 years to be SURE we think he's a war monger?

Good grief. How didn't he get the memo?

[FiveGoodMen]

25. And how would he square these comments with his joke about not finding WMDs (as seen in F911)?

[tabasco]

27. Looking for WMD in the Oval Office!

Had the media whores rolling in the aisles.

Joking about the fraudulent reason for his war-for-corporate-profits.

[FiveGoodMen]

31. And yet, around 60 million voted for him again -- AFTER that came out!

[tabasco]

37. Mind-boggling.

[Gman]

26. Stereotyped as a war-mongering idiot??

We didn't just decide that because of the way he looks.

[Javaman]

28. Wasn't there a missile called the "peacemaker"?

always the jerkoff*, he* never disappoints.

[Blaze Diem]

29. George's Epiphany from the Jesus-walk?

what a stupid little fucker george is.

[rateyes]

30. Did he really say this:

"...I'm the only president ever to have articulated a two-state solution."?

He's out of his effing mind. What a sorry excuse for a human being. How can so many damned people be so damned stupid as to have ever voted for this fucking idiot?

:wow:

[FreepFryer]

32. I'm like SOOOO sure. What a complete moron. He doesn't even understand the words he's using. (n/t)

[FreepFryer]

33. (dupe delete)

[ismnotwasm]

35. What a creep

I think he just hates humanity period.

[damntexdem]

39. Oh, not just as that!

So much more, so much worse, than just that!

[The Backlash Cometh]

40. Generosity and compassion of Americans?

The man is frickin deluded. I live in the heart of his support and these people wouldn't give two cents to their own churches unless they knew they would get a nickel back from some pre-arranged method.

I call it "laundering good will."

[potone]

41. This is the first indication that any part of reality has entered his mind.

Of course the people of the Middle East think of him as a war-monger. What else could they possibly think?

[rodeodance]

42. Didn't Bill Clinton first bring up the two-state idea??

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. Well George, aren't you just a regular prince of peace?

:eyes:

[PATRICK]

44. His incredible demands

seem tailored to be ignored by the ME. they are insane by their standards and cannot literally be taken seriously. Bush's advisers told him to say theses things for our consumption and perhaps also to AVERT any real dealing that they might otherwise sucker the Grand High Emperor into during some walk in the sand dunes. The MSM does not hear the complete stupidity of these "bold" statements.

Also, this whole trip is to get the ME off his back and himself off the hook for Iran. He sets IMPOSSIBLE, undiplomatic conditions that imply they must unconditionally submit and then he will bomb their enemies. This is a political trip where the most obvious planned point is to make damned sure nothing happens at all unless the various actors want to simply do him a real favor or two.

Ugly, ugly trip. And remember this is all carefully planned, not Bush himself spouting out. he goes with a firewall of non-starters and smackdowns to hold the entire ME at bay. Of course the MSM makes itself look in fact incredibly stupid in taking the stuff at face value with rational value.

[boricua79]

45. "I view myself as a peacemaker"

after he STARTS two wars...

You CAN'T be a peacemaker and start wars, Chimp! It's the opposite of peacemaking.

This man is a loon...certifiable by now...

[pleah]

46. G (godless) W (warmongering) B (bastard)!

[Orsino]

47. Even * can't pretend any longer that he's some sort of peacemaker. n/t

[hisownpetard]

48. "I view myself as a peacemaker." Yeah.

And when Hitler looked in the mirror, he saw a ballerina in a pink tutu.

[JBoy]

49. "And you just have to fight through stereotypes by actions."

How the fuck do you think you got stereotyped as a war monger? Dickwad.

[opihimoimoi]

50. Desperately attempting to clean up his ACT with Lame BS Crap

[focusfan]

51. surely alarm bells go off in congress

in less Nancy Pelosi is too busy having her head up her ass

[Neshanic]

53. Oh no George, not just a war monger, a stupid, little, imbecile, puppet war monger. Better?

[Arugula Latte]

55. Why don't these people understand our compassion when we bomb the shit out of them?

Jesus, the ingrates! Don't they like us to slaughter their children and destroy their infrastructure?

[TankLV]

56. He still views himself as a "peacemaker"?!?! REALLY?!?!

Start unnecessary wars BASED ON LIES!!!!

Peacemaker?

Good god, I can't say what I wish would happen to him on this board...

[aggiesal]

57. "I'm sure people view me as a war monger ..."

Duh!

"... and I view myself as peacemaker,"

Leave it to King George to distort reality.
Starting wars is creating peace.

I'm I hearing this right?

What an idiot!

[davekriss]

58. George, I don't view you as a 'war monger', no....

I VIEW YOU AS A WAR CRIMINAL!

[Booster]

59. My God, that man is quick.

[Kat45]
