Bush on Charlie Rose tonight "All we see are car bombs on TV, we don't see the normal stuff"

[AlCzervik]

yes thats the problem, damn journalist are in the parts of iraq where there are car bombs, maybe the tv crews should go to where there aren't car bombs, lets see what part of Iraq would that be? Oh yeah "I'm vetoing that bill"

[The_Casual_Observer]

1. Normal stuff: Kidnappings & shootings.

[AlCzervik]

4. very true, those things usually just involve gunfire and not-car bombs.

[ginnyinWI]

2. yeah damn that reality.

Why can't it be just like the ideologues say it's gonna be? But see, all you have to do to make it happen is to try hard enough and spend enough money! That's the ticket! We deciders know what's best for all the dumb ignorant amer'cans who think we gotta quit. :sarcasm:

[BattyDem]

3. How can life be "normal" when there are car bombs exploding everyday?

:shrug: :grr:

[AlCzervik]

5. well there must be normal stuff somewhere!! Bush said so!

[rodeodance]

13. and Barney barks in agreement!!

[AlCzervik]

6. "There is a certain level of violence accepted in all society's including our own"

ya hear that--the paradigm as told by Bush, so suck it up d get used to it.

[devilgrrl]

7. You know people, it's just like that in LA.

Cars bombs going off... you never see normal stuff... ever!

[AlCzervik]

8. thats exactly what happened to us last year when we were there

i couldn't leave the hotel without something exploding and i was in the green zone, all cities have those right? thats totally normal--a green zone.

[Bozita]

9. That sonofabitch just said "late summer" ... Hello late September (at the earliest)

I'm thinking James Taylor's "October Road."

Just last week, it was still August.

[yurbud]

10. Al Franken had a good line on this: what was the good news here on 9/11?

Did a kid learn to ride his bike? Did someone help an old lady across the street, or win a spelling bee? Hell, you don't even have to go to 9/11. How about the day of the Virginia Tech shooting? What was the good news that day? Why did everything have to be so darn negative?

[yurbud]

11. the other funny angle on this: summer pop a paper bag behind Bush

and after he pisses himself and throws a hissy fit ask, "yeah, but what was the GOOD news while that was happening?"

[rodeodance]

12. hey Jr. Bombs are the new NORM in Iraq!

[LibDemAlways]

14. The new "normal" in Iraq is living with the

knowledge that at any moment you could die a violent death. Before the US illegally invaded the country in 2003, average citizens went about their business. Children attended school. People went to work. They went shopping or to a restaurant. Now those who haven't yet fled the country are busy burying loved ones, and trying to cope without electricity or running water in a place too dangerous to step outside. This is the kind of "normal" the chimp thinks is just great. He is one seriously sick bastard.

[JI7]

15. all we see are twin towers in a terrorist attack

we don't see the normal stuff like a President reading to children during that.

[JDPriestly]

16. 32 Americans die in an attack in one day and the whole nation mourns.

That and much worse happens somewhere in Iraq at least a couple of times a week, and Iraq is much smaller than the U.S. If only Bush could understand that the reason the news on TV about Iraq is so bad is because it is so bad there. He is in total denial. He does not have the ability or strength to face reality. His denial is a sign of weakness.

[newyawker99]

17. Normal stuff????

:puke:


:grr:

[Solly Mack]

18. uh, he must mean the now "normal" routine of dodging bombs and bullets on the way to market

and school and work...and just going out your door
