What part of 'no' is too hard for Bush to understand?

[bigtree]

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the Defense Department soon will send Congress a bill to transfer $1.6 billion (€1.2 billion) from other military accounts to cover funding for troops. She said the request is necessary because lawmakers have delayed Bush's funding request.

1. He Doesn't Understand NO In 161 Different Languages

Now that's what I call a polyglot!

2. I wouldn't be surprised if that passes

It's a stopgap measure, it doesn't address the long term funding issues. That also seems like a drop in the bucket compared to what they really want to continue Iraq.

4. I hope it, at least, becomes a point of contention

and debate

10. It would be nice, but I suspect theDems will pass it and say

"See we really do support the troops. We just want to end this war."

11. I think it should matter where the money is coming from

considering the shortfalls which already exist and have been highlighted in the current debate. If they can actually target that amount to those priorities it might make enough sense to enough in Congress.

But, I expect SOMEONE to say SOMETHING about robbing Peter to pay Paul.

edit: Feingold's bill is something like this. It funds the troops until the withdrawal date in his legislation.

3. I'm guessing it's both the "N" and the "O".

When has he ever been told No? Of course he doesn't understand it - he's never directly experienced it.

5. ask the pentagon to find the missing $2.3 TRILLION they lost while

that guy (an orthodox rabbi?) was doing the accounting under Rummy.

6. "NO" to Bush is just a backwards "ON"

As in, "GAME ON!"

"BRING IT ON"

etc.

If the billions allocated to Iraq had been spent more judiciously in the past, we wouldn't be out of money now.

Where is the missing $8 Billion, George?

7. His English decipher is a bit wonky

After the 2006 election, it went completely haywire. When the vibrations from the sound enters his ear canal and his brain translates it into meaningful speech, "No" is garbled. You see, the ear hears "No" but the brain says "Put up your dukes!"

8. A friend of mine once had an argument

with her daughter(about 6 at the time) and asked her "Just what part of "NO" do you not understand?"
Her reply was "The "N" part"
LOL

9. He has a rudimentary grasp of the nasal, semi-vowel glide, initial consonant "n", but ...

he has yet to master his long vowel sounds, so "No" poses a real difficulty for him.
