Bush calls Georgia 'beacon of liberty' - guess they won't be invaded by us
<http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050510/wl_nm/georgia_bush_dc_11;_ylt=AgWNCKl5EbGmdHj50LHuSW5qP0AC;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl>


"The path of freedom you have chosen is not easy. But you will not travel it alone," Bush told at least 60,000 people at Freedom Square
_______________
for their sakes, I hope they trvel it without us... we tend to bomb people we want to "free."





Groups of people sat behind the podium wearing red, white and blue outfits to form the U.S. flag and the red-and-white Georgian banner as Bush recalled Georgia's long independence struggle that led to its "people's power" revolution.
___________
People's Power/ And they equate this with king * how?






"You gathered here armed with nothing but roses and the power of your convictions, and you claimed your liberty. And because you acted, Georgia is today both sovereign and free and a beacon of liberty for this region and the world," Bush said.
_____________
It's ok for them, but here, if you question the great boy king, you are a traitor.




"The (Georgian) president has put a way forward that encourages autonomy and self government but does not encourage dividing up this great country. This seems to me ... to be a very reasonable proposition," Bush said.
_____________
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yes, boy king, not dividing a country is quite reasonable... don't you think?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:







The crowd reacted ecstatically, waving banners including "Mr. George W. Bush, you can save Georgia."
____________________
'K, tell you what... Georgia can have him. Free of charge. We'll just give him to you... them you tell us how much you like him.






"It is great that the president of a superpower has come to visit us," said Nana Razmadze, a 54-year-old teacher. "We hope that things will get better for us and we can move forward. I think that from now on the world will look on us differently."

"This is a visit that should go down in history," said 46-year-old Merab Getsadze. "It's been 200 years since Georgia was visited by such a high-ranking person. We hope we will be able to solve a lot of problems after this visit," he said.

Apparently, these people don't have a media, either.

4. Did I hear him say that Iraq was in a PURPLE revolution?
He was comparing it to the Red and Orange revolutions in eastern Europe.
I almost choked on my coffee.
Is this the first time he's said that?
