3. CNN Showing Excerpts of * on Arab TV
What an ass he is. He smirks, blinks rapidly and is bull-shitting his way thru the interviews. If we can not believe him, how can the Arab world believe him?

5. i thought he was blinking rapidly too...
A sure sign of someone under severe stress. I've had CNN muted but have been seeing the clips. He looks totally disengaged.

Such a weird, scary man.

4. "When things like this come to our attention, we ACT."
Yes. They act like they're outraged, they act like they had no idea, they act like they're going to investigate thoroughly... They ACT.

18. what bullshit
The White House has already admitted that * was informed in January about this. The quote should be "when all of our efforts to cover it up and hope it goes away fail and it finally comes to the attention of the somnolent media, then we look for scapegoats"

6. Does Junior apologizing on Arab TV remind anyone of....
Trent Lott's half assed appearance on BET after his "Strom Thurmond would have been the best Confederate President Ever" speech??

12. Al Franken said he did not apologize. From what I was able to
catch on MSNBC he is just saying: do not even think about us as you would one of your countries with petty dictators. We are much better and much more democratic and much more decent.....

14. Bush: Our torture is better than Saddam's
because he was evil and had rape rooms and we're a compassionate people. Mistakes were made. I saw it on the news last night.

We've brought you democracy, you ingrates.

16. I wish I had $1 for every time Bush says "freedom".
I would be about $100 richer this morning. Someone needs to do a count. Bush is like a little kid. He thinks if he says the words "free" and "freedom" repeatedly, then people will turn off their cognitive processes and get all warm and fuzzy inside. This technique helped prolong the Vietnam war.

17. to think
this would have all been swept under the rug had the photos not been passed around.they knew abuses were going on in Jan before the SOTU address and not a word about the prisons in Iraq.......



He isn't upset about the prison abuses; he is upset that the news got out.

22. Blink Rate off the scale: He showed he was a weak and nervous guy
Not very Presidential and not very bright, he was trying to push his shit once more hoping the Arabs would buy it like the American Sheep does. Nope, no sale. he is the worlds JOKE.

In every Pub across the Planet, they are laughing at him and his followers.

Bush gives us great Shame as in

HOW TO PICK A LEADER 101.

America has violated every rule in the book in how to pick a good President.

The only recourse left for America in ridding us of this Shame is to vote Bush out in a Landslide.

21. What a whimpy statement and no apology made
Bush said:

It's also important for the people of Iraq to know that in a democracy everything is not perfect, that mistakes are made. But in a democracy as well those mistakes will be investigated and people will be brought to justice

If my father or brother were in those pictures, this statement would make me mad as hell.

24. What would Jesus do?
Think about it, pResident* Smirk


"The goals for this country are peace in the world. And the goals for this country are a compassionate American for every single citizen. That compassion is found in the hearts and souls of the American citizens."
- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Dec. 19, 2002
