Here's The Quote of GWB That Randi Found, LOL!
From the christening of the USS Ronald Reagan:

"Precisely because America is powerful, we must be sensitive about expressing our power and influence. Our goal is to patiently build the momentum of freedom, not create resentment for America itself. We pursue our goals; we will listen to others; we want strong friends to join us, not weak neighbors to dominate. In all our dealings with other nations, we will display the modesty of true confidence and strength."

Ha!! We want strong friends, like Pago Pago & Uzbekistan!

they just lap it up don't they. Step right up CNN all the right-wing bile you can digest. You may like it but it's making the rest of us sick to our stomachs. :puke:

6. I don't think the finding of this quote can be credited to Rhodes
The little tidbit is from Kerry's rapid response center: http://blog.johnkerry.com/rapidresponse
and is also posted here: http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=118-08122004

CHENEY LAUNCHES DISINGENUOUS ATTACKS

Cheney's Most Recent Disingenuous Attack. "Vice President Dick Cheney is criticizing John Kerry's call for a 'more sensitive' war on terror, saying it won't impress the Sept. 11 terrorists or the Islamic militants who have beheaded U.S. citizens. 'America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive,' Cheney said in remarks prepared for delivery Thursday." (AP, 8/12/04)

Cheney Attacks Bush's Own Words:

Bush: "We help fulfill that promise not by lecturing the world, but by leading it. Precisely because America is powerful, we must be sensitive about expressing our power and influence. Our goal is to patiently build the momentum of freedom, not create resentment for America itself. We pursue our goals, we will listen to others. We want strong friends to join us, not weak neighbors to dominate. In all our dealings with other nations, we will display the modesty of true confidence and strength." (Bush Remarks at USS Regan Ceremony, 3/4/01)

Bush: "Now, in terms of the balance between running down intelligence and bringing people to justice obviously is -- we need to be very sensitive on that." (Bush Delivers Remarks at the Unity, Journalists of Color Conference, 8/6/04)

Cheney's Own RNC Convention Speakers Think Kerry Is Qualified To Be Commander-In-Chief. "Rudy Giuliani said the fact that Mr. Kerry had been elected to the United States Senate four times and had a war record made him 'absolutely' qualified to be president. 'It would be a terrible mistake for the Republican side to argue he is not qualified.'" And Tommy Franks, who is rumored to be speaking at the GOP convention, said, John Kerry was "absolutely" qualified to be Commander-in-Chief. (ABC, "This Week," 8/8/04; NYT, 8/12/04, "This Week," ABC, 8/7/04)
