Reply #20: Can't he see how idiotic this sounds?

He says "It's unacceptable to think there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective," said Bush, growing animated as he spoke."

Unless I'm sadly mistaken, the United States of America has killed innocent women and children in the course of achieving an objective, which according to Bush is the death of terrorists. The guy is just so out of his depth in trying to even LOOK like he has the ability to be the president, it's sickening.

His words and actions remind me of a woman who was widely known in my neighborhood as, to put it politely, "not quite right in the head". She was what we used to refer to as a spinster lady, and lived with her brother and his family. We used to see her walking down the street, stopping once in awhile to carry on a conversation with a mail box, or a tree.

She wore whatever she wanted, and the results were very often more appropriate for a costume party than everyday attire. She was, however, completely harmless, because whatever she talked to the trees and mail boxes about couldn't cause the hideous number of deaths, maiming, and destruction that the insane mutterings of the occupant of the White House can cause.

I don't fear terrorists, but I do fear what our country has become under Bush and his neocon barbarians. The United States has never been in greater danger than it is right now, but the danger is not from terrorists, but from our own government.
