BUSH: Doesn't Want, Doesn't Support, Doesn't Accept Their Purple Fingers
By EDWARD WONG
Published: March 28, 2006
BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 28 — Senior Shiite politicians said today that the American ambassador has told Shiite officials to inform the Iraqi prime minister that President Bush does not want him to remain the country's leader in the next government.



Ambassador Khalilzad said that President Bush "doesn't want, doesn't support, doesn't accept" Mr. Jaafari to be the next prime minister, according to Mr. Taki, a senior aide to Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the head of the Shiite bloc. It was the first "clear and direct message" from the Americans on the issue of the candidate for prime minister, Mr. Taki said.

Every time I see, "Bush wants", or "Bush doesn't want", I want to scream, WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK WHAT BUSH WANTS OR DOESN'T WANT!!! I'm so freakin' TIRED of this King George complex Bush has. He is NOT the King of the World; he's not king of ANYTHING. The sooner this man disappears, the better.

Recommended.

5. So much for the "democracy in Iraq" lie
"The Iraqis can have any government they like, as long as the US President approves it first." Now THERE is a democracy!

6. If I'm not mistaken
In a democratic Iraq, Mr Bush has ZERO say in who has what position!

He wanted votes, he needs to accept the results of his actions!

9. So that whole election thing was just a charade?
I remember the major news outlets blasting us incessantly with what an historic occasion all this voting was, and how it was surely the last corner to be turned in Iraq, and democracy and freedom were just sure to sweep the globe like the hula-hoop or pet rocks.

Turns out Bush isn't so much in love with the democratic process that he feels free to ignore it when it doesn't suit him. Quelle surprise.

15. Viva La Democracia
Is there any doubt left about Bush and his complete lack of ability, talent or intellect. This kind of thing has finally worn thin with US citizens who have been on a monocutural drip feed about how wonderful he is. This is adding insult to injury to a region that has had to suffer the consequences of his disastrous policies.

shrub-boy "didn't want, didn't support, didn't accept" keeping Dubai away from owning US ports either. Too bad, shrub-boy.

21. Iraqis made a wise choice by constructing a
Parliamentary system of govt. If the Neo Fascist Bush Regime would stop their Colonization of Iraq efforts and leave Iraq, Iraq and the World would be better off.

What America needs right now is a Regime change! Impeaching Cheney and Bush is the only solution to ridding the USA of this Neo Fascist Tyranny.

23. When George Bush rammed democracy up the assholes of
the Iraqi people, he GAVE UP THE ABILITY TO TELL THEM ANYTHING. The people have the say, now. They have voted. They are operating under the rules of a democracy, and that excludes Bush from any say whatsoever.

Ain't democracy a wonderful thing? Marching toward the rest of the world...George Bush's democracy. You'll like it. You have no choice. :eyes:
