Bush Press Conference/8/21/06

As a reminder,it was the Saudi's who pulled off 911.
They had no connection to Iraq.The Bin Laudin family and the Bush famuly go way back.Let's keep the facts straight.

Gee,I wonder why we are hated?I wonder why we are now more hated by non Musslum countries then before?
We had the World eating out of our hands after 911,then did the right thing by going after the Talaban,then did absolutly the WRONG thing,and have done nothing correct since.
Remember the Hornet's nest analogy in the early days of the threats from Cowboy Idiot Boy W?Well guess what,those predictions were right,and now we have not only a mess in Iraq,but the creation a new generation of anti American/British(Tony B,W's little B****h)sentiment that is spreading like a plague of locust.
Nice job Rich,but way off target.
If you going to be a butt kicking bully,you had better take on the real bad guys(Bin Laudin fiddles in his cave)and not invade a third rate dictator,creating more terrorists,and thus taking our eye off the real bad guys.It ain't rocket science.
W wanted to go after Iraq for personal reasons,which had nothing to do with war on terrorism,which has been proven.
Definiton of insanity:
Continuing a behavior over and over without any regard for results.

Tallcall,

How much time have you spent in Europe in the last couple of years? I spent 3 months in Germany last fall. I wondered how I would be treated. I made the mistake of believing too much of what the news said. I hope your not making the same mistake. To make a long story short...I and my friends was treated like gold! Even when I went into France! Of the 90 days there, I didnt have one bad day.

I spent a month in Eurpoe last year as well.Traveled through Germany,France and Italy.Treated very well,but was traveling with my wife,who is Chinese,and a lot more attractive then me.. .go figure!
Anyway,we had a great time,and I was pleasently surprised to be treated very very well.I think everyone is tired of this whole affair,and it's easier to be nice.
Remember,we have also been the most loved Nation in the World,setting the standard for modern culture,music,education and freedom.
When I travel in China with my wife,she is ignored,and I'm the star.We Americans are adored in China,by the regular people,and it is an eye opening experience to be loved and admired by so many.
Elvis is known as "The Cat King"in China,and his music is played (MUZAK version)in every elevator and Mall in the country.
I strongly suggest,for the trip of a life time,go to China and soak it in.It's safe,it's vast and it's 5000 years of history are on display through out the country.

FACT:

The Bush Administration awarded a multibillion-dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton--a company that still pays Vice President Cheney hundreds of thousands of dollars in deferred compensation each year (Cheney also has Halliburton stock options). The company then repeatedly overcharged the military for services, accepted kickbacks from subcontractors and served troops dirty food.
