'I freed millions from barbarism', says President with no regrets

[spanone]

end his delusions. impeach arrest sentence convict imprison






President Bush flies into London today for the last time as US leader. In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with Ned Temko on the eve of his visit, he defends his legacy, issues a stern warning to Iran ... and reveals his plans for a freedom institute devoted to 'universal values'

Asked what he thinks his legacy might be, he says he is happy to await the verdict of history. But he cannot resist also offering his own, suggesting 'the liberation of 50 million people from the clutches of barbaric regimes is noteworthy, at a minimum'.

1. Sure he didn't day Barbraism? He seems to have problems with his parents.

[MikeNearMcChord]

2. I think that's vodka in that bottle

The only reason he is spouting delusional shit like that.

[Disturbed]

5. 50 Million people?

Fuzzy math....again.

[Cleita]

3. He looks really hungover. n/t

[madokie]

4. 50 million, lets see there is 26 million in Iraq

wheres that other 24 mil coming from, Iran maybe

[Octafish]

8. There WERE 26 million in Iraq.

Since Bush's illegal and immoral and unnecessary war, the number of Iraq people has dropped to 25 million.

(meant with all DU respect, madokie!)

[Posteritatis]

12. Afghanistan is 32M or so; Iran's 64. (nt)

[spanone]

13. he's completely out of his mind....i don't know why they don't laugh in his face

[B.S. Lewis]

17. that was my question too

Surprisingly (I did not realize it until just now), Afghanistan actually has a larger population than Iraq.

Anyway, what a dumb *@#(%^&)*@$!

I can't wait til someone liberates the U.S. from its barbaric regime.

[Kaleko]

6. Filing this under Jokes and Laughs. Thanks.

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. He's becoming more delusional every day

Not a good sign, if you ask me.

[Radical Activist]

9. That's exactly what he'll be doing the day he leaves office.

[pt22]

10. If George Bush knew seven more things

he would be an idiot.

:shrug:

[barbtries]

11. free to suffer and die

he is - words escape. sick.

[pacalo]

14. Kind of like a serial killer giving himself credit for the many people he didn't kill.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. Leaving both countries in chaos is even more noteworthy. n/t

[Raksha]

16. WHAAAAAAT??? He's even more delusional than I thought!!! n/t

[Vinca]

18. Minor snag, Georgie. Half were freed from life as well.

This guy is so delusional. His idiot library will be like a bad theme park.

[DailyGrind51]

19. He SUBJECTED millions TO barbarism

the American people!

[Faygo Kid]

20. He is a megalomaniac, and he is NOT through with his grandiose delusions.

We are in grave danger this year of this madman doing something truly insane.

Not that the war in Iraq isn't truly insane, but look out.

He's capable of even worse, and I think he believes it's his destiny to go out with a bang. A really big one.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

21. Which certainly calls into question who the barbarian is.

"The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine, and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the deity to regenerate our victims while incidentally capturing their markets, to civilize savage and senile and paranoidal peoples while blundering accidentally into their oil wells or metal mines."
John T. Flynn, As We Go Marching

All murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
Voltaire

[Brigid]

22. Saved millions from barbarism, did he?

Who saved us?

[spanone]

23. the historians won't buy into his bullshit...you can pat yourself on the back all you want to, jr.

you'd think this callous fucker would at least have the decency to say he 'regretted' the loss of human life....but nobody he knew died, he could give a shit

[Zorra]

24. He's exaggerating. He's only killed a bit over a million people. n/t

[BlooInBloo]

25. Can bush win a DUzy?

[JeffR]

26. Um...

No, he can't.

[BlooInBloo]

27. Hrmph. Well I thought it was duzy worthy.

:P

[JeffR]

28. In a sense

everything he's said since being installed in office has been an unintentional DUzy. And the joke's on us...

[BlooInBloo]

30. True enough. :)

[baldguy]

29. Freed them from barbarism. Enslaved them to corporatism.

Out of the frying pan into the fire. At least under Saddam, Iraqis had food, water, electricity, plumbing, jobs & security.
