I'm not finding anything. Will he make the same stupid mistake again?

BUSH BRIEFED ON EARTHQUAKE

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush has been given an update on today's powerful earthquake near Indonesia.

The White House says the president was briefed by aides as he flew back to Washington after spending Easter week at his ranch in Texas.

Deputy White House Press Secretary Dana Perino -- who spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One -- says U-S officials are "monitoring the situation."

2. Bush will take his time to respond
An natural disaster does not present an opportunity for Bush to undermine American democratic institions, wage an unnecessary war of aggression or build a torture chamber.

So, it can wait.

4. You know what? Who cares.
We all know he doesn't care about these things. If he never mentions anything about it, I won't be surprised. I'm actually getting tired of the outrage against these idiots.
From now on, I'll only pay attention to their concerns about something if it's unusual. As far as compassion, they have none. Zero.

And we all know that.

10. They KNOW.
Its early.
(Early for a revolution, too)..
There is some feeling..that just maybe these earthquakes are not occurring naturally. NO!!!!!!!!

They not only have "no compassion"..they are out to kill as many people of color..or starve them..as possible. Especially high on the list are Muslims.

sorry if this is to much so early.
I need another cup of coffee and to calm down.

I dont care what THEIR response is either because THEY are causing all the destruction. We know they will just add another couple of countries for bombings and destabilization..by next week.

6. Earthquake
Amazin' how these are happening so often..to a Muslim area!
Isn't it?

Do "they" possess new kinds of WMD...something we will never know about??

Just a thought. Al Jazeera had a report on that last week.
(Reporting some of the unusual conditions scientist in the area were finding.)

8. Once Again
The man doesn't give a shit about brown people, unless they have oil under their land...

Isn't Indonesia is one of the two or three places on the planet where his favorable rating isn't so bad. Indonesians have benefited from "outsourcing". They like Mr. Boosh.

12. Once again.....
If they all got ahold of Al Jazeera a few days ago..
they wouldnt like Mr. Boosh.......
Al Jazeera ran an article about Quakes: Natural or Man-Made.

Considering all the research being done on warfare and the fact that they used DU on kids in Iraq (and their own soldiers)..
nothing is unimaginable.


If I were living in Indonesia...I would "get it"..or have a suspicion?

9. Barely - he mentioned his sympathy and support. That's it.
Indonesia should expect it's crisp, clean, freshly printed set of proof quality money minted this year and 10 - 100 dollar bills soon. ;)

11. Yes, here it is.
I found it...

WASHINGTON -- President Bush on Tuesday offered the help and prayers of America to victims of an Indian Ocean earthquake that saw Indonesia battered for the second time in three months.

"On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our condolences to the victims of yesterday's earthquake in Indonesia," Bush said as he opened a speech on Iraq in the White House's Rose Garden. "The people of Indonesia can know as well that they have our prayers and that our government is ready to assist."

13. I think the guy is on a perm
Vacation while the NeoCons run things. He is like the Queen of England and shows up for ribbon cutting and such. The day to day stuff seems to be managed by "others" and I think we can safely assume who they are.

I wonder just how much reality he even knows and if he is not the result, simply, of a combination of things, not the least of which is the exploitation by others. Do not get me wrong. I have little sympathy for anyone in that family. I am wondering, though, just how much he actually knows about anything. I mean, does he even know that we have no money, no military, no international support?

Do you suppose he is not so much insulated because they fear he will make an arse of himself (yet again), but because they want to keep their boy in his bubble?
