"I'm a war president."

[BurtWorm]

"I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind. Again, I wish it wasn't true, but it is true. And the American people need to know they got a president who sees the world the way it is. And I see dangers that exist, and it's important for us to deal with them."

[theorist]

1. Didn't he mean "war-time president"?

"War president" sounds like a president who perpetrates war for the fun of it.....Oh, wait....sorry....nevermind...

[Fovea]

3. I think the implication is

that he is already operating under a state of emergency
and if he so chooses, he will declare martial law.

[theorist]

5. Good point.

He's aligning his place in the world with that of a potential war lord, except he'll be able to hold the Constitution hostage instead of food and people.

[Mrs. Overall]

2. I caught that, too, during the interview,

although with all of his mispronunciations,I thought for a split second he said, "I am a whore president."

[fearnobush]

4. Well. thats what he ment.

[opihimoimoi]

7. What I heard tonight scares the shit outta me. The man is clearly

a LOLO. a very very challenged person attempting to pass himself off as intelligent.

Rationalizing his way thru the Tim Russet questions in a rambling sort of way as only a loser can... is a Scarey thing to view. This man is close to a breakdown.

Watch him hesitate with the answers, like he has to recollect the answers memorized. Watch him agonize over the process. He must of practiced for days.

[tabasco]

27. If he has a shred of conscience ...

he should be close to a breakdown. He is responsible for many needless deaths. A normal person would be guilt-ridden, but I think Bush is a sociopath with no conscience.

[Bhaisahab]

6. what a...

pompous bastid. he says he decides on policy with war on his mind. i think this embarrasment has not grown out of his days playing with toy soldiers in sand dumps.
before the iraq invasion, he was quoted as saying he is willing to "give peace a chance." in other words, "i want this war, but for the sake of the 'focus groups' i'll give that thing called peace a chance."
man, you guys HAVE to rid yourself of this boil on your backsides.

[PaDUer]

10. Remember he said

that he tried to kill his daddy...What a sicko! Guess he's still playing nintendo!

[MinnFats]

11. when i hear that 'tried to kill my dad' bit, i think of 'Reservoir Dogs'

....the final scene where Chris Penn has his gun pointed at Harvey Keitel and yells 'Stop pointin' that gun at my dad!'

See, Chris Penn's character is about as stable as Bush.

[PeanutOne]

19. Sean Penn would be great playing Bush in a movie role.

He can already do the smirk.

Could call it "The Pig's Nest: The Rise and Fall of the Bush Regime"

[BurtWorm]

29. Chris Penn could be good in that role too.

They're both good at playing psychopaths.

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. "...war." *smile* "...war..." *smile* "War..." *smile*

EVERY fucking time he said the word, he smiled that cheesy grin of his. :nuke:

[opihimoimoi]

9. "I did show up in Alabama"" The lying asshole

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. He was there.

Flying high above the clouds over Alabama on some coke binge and never reported to duty.

[PaDUer]

13. Well, since he thinks he's a war president..

then he should get his ass right on over to Iraq, front line, and take his cronies with him since he still has to do, and his buddies can enlist, front line...AT least they'd all be together!

[The Screaming Icon]

15. If we are to believe the GOP line...

On Sept.11, Bush was on Air Force One and someone referred to him as "Mr. President" to which he admonished, "Call me COMMANDER Bush!"

But can you blame him for being the armchair commander? What else does he have to brag about? Not that he can brag about Iraq anyway...

What can be said about this guy that's appropriate for this forum? Let's just say he must have Soldier of Fortune magazines in his bathroom.

[ComerPerro]

14. Which is exactly why 9/11 was necessary

Because he was thinking with war in mind right from the beginning. And he needed a reason to justify war.

[glarius]

16. He's a war pres. because he STARTED a war. Not because it was thrust

upon him....This sounds like the old joke about the kid who kills his parents and cries that he's an orphan....He's sickening..:puke:

[opihimoimoi]

17. Capt Queeg and his ball bearings

:puke:

[moondust]

18. I would have guessed a shoe salesman. n/t

[VOX]

20. Yeah, and I'm on the Lithuanian bicycle team.

Not.

However, I *do* make my own decisions, which is far more that * does.

Pitiful.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. I thought he said:

I am a whore resident! But then I know he NEVER tells the truth!

[Q]

22. Bush* really thinks he alone runs our government...

...during a 'time of war'. Someone is advising this nutcase that the COEQUAL branches of government can be circumvented much like the people and their Constitution if you can keep the nation on a wartime footing.

- To my way of thinking...this provides even more proof that the Bushies ALLOWED 9-11 to happen so they could get this exact results.

[Poiuyt]

35. Wants to be a dictator

bush has said numerous times that he wishes he were a dictator.

[dusty64]

23. Even a pathological

liar blurts out snippets of truth from time to time. He is the WAR pResident, all he has to offer is war, death, destruction, and fear. You'd think everyone would be tired of the gloom and doom regime by now.

[jeanmarc]

24. What a vision! And they try to nail Dems for negativity?

This ahole is running on fear and hope. And it is the worst kind of hope, it's his hope that things improve if he continues to lower taxes. The only votes King George will win are those that are tied to tax cuts. If the only thing you value in a politician is tax cuts, then you are voting for King George. The nice part is that is a very low base and he has lost it with the rest of the right. He's a borrow and spend conservative that most conservatives can't stand.

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. W is a classic megalomaniac

a delusional mental disorder that is marked by infantile feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur.

That describes W to a tee, don't ya think?

[Tinoire]

26. Sieg -

Heil whether you like it our not- just salute smartly!

28. shorter george bush: "i'm an egomaniac"

.

[librechik]

30. War on Terror is despicable ploy

Who told Bush the right thing to do when you get attacked asymmetrically is to respond by sending a huge, clunky, noisy, expensive SYMMETRICAL war machine to the wrong country???!!! It's like a guarantee that we won't catch anybody, they can hear us for months as we prepare to go after them! How embarrassingly ineffecient and old fashioned as a defense tactic! War is the WRONG response to terror--besides, what country are we at war with? when do we negotiate a peace? It's a big disgusting Public Relations campaign that's as bad and damaging to the morale of the country as the War on Drugs.

[BonjourUSA]

31. I am actually dazed

What a high level of political mind ! and what a high level of expression for translating it ! :wow:

[rman]

32. so ehm, perpetual war = perpetual president? nt

-

[fencesitter]

33. I heard Cokie Roberts count.....

the word war 33 times in his interview.

[Malva Zebrina]

34. I have heard people mention this before:

Bush's evident, unfettered delight when he speaks of death, killing and murder. I never paid too much attention, but I saw the interview and I noticed that glint in his eyes when his attention was turned to killing. His face changed. There is something pathologically wrong with this puny little prick. Very wrong.

[grannylib]

38. I agree...there is something truly wrong and evil about this...I hesitate

to even call him a man...creature, then...
I bet he was the kind of kid that tortured animals.

[MisterP]

48. specifically, jammed firecrackers into frogs

[Poiuyt]

39. Remember how he mocked that woman he executed in Texas?

[Oilwellian]

40. To add to your observation

When Bush speaks of war and death, he becomes quite articulate. No mumbling, stumbling or grasping for words. It's as if death and destruction are the only things he feels self-assured about.

[VOX]

44. Good analysis -- sad to say that it's probably true...

When his talking points get around to bloodshed, and include absolutes like "evil" and "justice," he becomes frighteningly clear.

Maybe it's because those elements are so basic that even a little kid has an understanding of their power to shock?

[ignatius]

36. He sees dangers that exist and by God if they don't he will make

them up, of course with only the best intelligence to ignore.

[PsychoDad]

37. "I have WAR on my mind" !

Then the Smirk...

Another sound clip from that interview. Needs to be played over and over...

[BonjourUSA]

41. A wish from Europe

As soon as possible, we would like to hear a president of USA saying "I am a "peace president" with a higher level of speech.

[ignatius]

43. Bonjour, BonjourUSA, that is our dream and our goal as well.

It will be so wonderful to again have a president who can put together more than two sentences without saying terror,bring 'em on,or war.

[BonjourUSA]

56. With a little flat...

Bush is an idiot, that's the most shared idea all over the world. With a fear ! American people is able to elect a dangerous asshole (with fraud or not. What was a fool like Bush doing in a WH race ?), more than 52% of them are able to follow him in his delirium and now we know the USA could become a real threat for the world. The gap could need much time for being filled.

Our both youths didn't live all the events which got together our countries. And, in a very close futur, The USA and Europe could be on their own way very different and perhaps antagonist. Are Bush's positions and the behaviour of the American people majority the premises right now ?

[anti-NAFTA]

51. Bonjour, BonjourUSA le francais est ma premiere langue

et j'adore la France!

Bush is disgraceful. Chirac is more to the left than Kerry. Kind of shows you how fucked up our system is in the US.

Viva la France! Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite. That should be our motto too, not this fuckin ridiculous "in God we trust".

[nomatrix]

42. Message from Crawford New Years Eve 2002

“You said we’re headed to war in Iraq. I don’t know why you say that,” Bush told reporters. “I’m the person who gets to decide, not you."

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

45. "I'm a war president" means "I fecked up on 911"

Miserable Failure.

[shoopnyc123]

46. MAJOR Denial...

from the writer dude

[MisterP]

47. L.A. Times, from transcript:

I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind

[indepat]

49. A war president on a messianic mission?

[anti-NAFTA]

50. He's a lucky idiot who was brainwashed by the neocons

Cheney is whispering in his ear what to do, what to sign, etc. He's just a moron. Of course, he doesn't give a shit if he loses the elections because he probably has some secret deals and will live the rest of his life as a multimillionaire.

Bush is an embarrassment to the States. The people of the world other than the Americans (and that is contested too) HATE Smirkboy the Evangelical Nutball. Oh but I suppose everyone is jealous of our freedom as some bitch on Rush Limbaugh said today (Rush's "caller of the day", a psychotic nutcase woman who deserves to be re-educated Soviet-style).

[ComerPerro]

52. LIHOP LIHOP LIHOP LIHOP

War is the only leg Bush has to stand on.

[opihimoimoi]

53. He even has Jim Bohanan backing him up. The whole hook, line,

and sinker.

These pubs feel like they are top of things but in actuality, they are on the Pub Teat, sucking hard for their pay checks/salary espousing the Pub Mantra.

Pub Whores is what Rush, Jim, and others are, whores.

[Woodstock]

54. You're all going to die, so vote for me.

I'd rather die than vote for you, evil chimp.

[PaDUer]

55. Dummy can't even get it right..

he's a "war president"...he forgot to say he's a "wartime president"...But in reality, he really is a war president who thrives on war to make $$$$...he doesn't care about our children coming home in boxes. Matter of fact, he doesn't want anyone to see the caskets being flown in at nite without media present. This is what the people need to see instead of being fed BS from the media! The media are conspirators.

[scarface2004]

57. and he was grinning...........

nyuk nyuk..i m a war time president..nyuk nyuk

fucking cretin!!

[Hubert Flottz]

58. Then go to Iraq and lead the troops chickenshit!

And don't sneek in like a thief in the night!

[Thoth]

59. Why Bush is compared to Hitler - his modus operandi is the same!

"If you cannot create war then at least continue to propagate the idea that war is coming. Never leave people in peace, because when they are in peace, you are nobody. Then they don't need you; your very purpose is gone. They need you only when there is danger; so create danger. If there is not real danger, at least create the climate of a false danger". - - Adolph Hitler
