Here's the Tuesday speech catch-phrase...

[brooklynite]

"Iraq's first elected President in 5,000 years"

Rumsfeld just spouted this on Meet the Press. It's too cutesy to have been thought up on the fly, and captures that "democracy is taking hold" message the administration had been hanging the war on lately.

[Sydnie]

1. First one elected by the Iraqi people

The ones before that were elected by the US Government.

[mikehiggins]

2. My money is on "it's hard work" eom

Some sort of freedom is spreading crap ......

Look for weird facial tics and bush patting the "air dog" with his hands.

[Sydnie]

5. patting the air dog

:rofl:

[Botany]

7. he does that .....

..... watch he slumps his shoulders and then his right hand
goes up & down as he pats "his air dog."

Freedom is what the terrorist fear and i will not stop ..... Pat Pat Pat .....
until freedom is truly free ... Pat Pat Pat

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

10. OMG, that is priceless...

I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard. MKJ

[sam sarrha]

[kittenpants]

14. yes, the air dog!

I know that movement exactly!

[Pirate Smile]

22. You are right. He does it EVERY time. Great name for it.

I love it.

:D

[Botany]

23. I saw it on a jumbo tron when he was ......

..... in Columbus last fall .......
that is when I thought of it ...... bush & his air dog ......

Something in that boy is not quite all there.

[Pirate Smile]

25. I tried to find a photo of him doing it but couldn't find one real quick.

I know there have been news photos of him with his hand out and his shoulders slumped patting that air dog.

[hootinholler]

26. Hmmm, Bush has an Irish Setter Pookah?

Wonder what its name is.

-Hoot

[BiggJawn]

31. "Shake our Will" "Shake our Resolve"

While bush and Rumsferatu shake their limp dicks at the World...

"We're spreading DEMOCRACY!"

"Freedom's on th' MARCH!"

I won't be watching.

[bertha katzenengel]

4. Implying that a 200+ year-old democracy has the right to change

ancient world politics. Implying that the by-God United States of America knows what is best for every corner of the earth -- and that the USA has the right to impose that knowledge by use of war.

What an asshole.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

6. Good catch...I think that the new buzz word will be optimism

The worse things get, the more determined this neo thug crowd is to paint it as a wonderful war that only Pessimists would call disastrous.

MKJ

[Pirate Smile]

8. He THINKS, THINKS, THINKS about Iraq - every single day. He really does.

may be thinking about it right now.

Maybe like this


Or more likely like this

[Canadian Socialist]

9. Do I see a drinking game?

Come on, it'll be fun!

[Botany]

12. Sure .......

Pat his air dog = drink
verb in wrong tense = drink i.e. We wents to Iraq .....
Freedom = 1/2 drink
The price is high but we all must pay it = fucking rock into t.v.

add your own

[Gothmog]

11. I am betting on"Stay the Course"

We will hear that we are going to Stay the Course a great deal on Tuesday

[Old and In the Way]

13. That's amazing.........

considering that Iraq has been a state for less than 100 years.

[kliljedahl]

15. "Killed hundreds of thousands with chemical weapons"

Would those be the chemicals you sold to him ASSHAT?


Keith’s Barbeque Central

[sam sarrha]

24. We sold Saddam chemicals that killed 300,000 Iranians...

and gave him 4 different kinds of Bio Weapons

[rustydog]

16. And in 2008 we can say Hilliary Clinton is America's first

Democratically elected President in 8 years.

[sunnystarr]

18. Actually we could say first democratically elected president

this century.

[berni_mccoy]

17. It's also the first time in HISTORY a Republican Controlled Administration

chose "democracy" over "tyranny". The Reagan administration put Saddam in power in the first place (and they also gave power and resources to OBL in Afghanistan to fight the USSR).

Though, I doubt very seriously if what is going on in Iraq can be called a democracy... it's viewed by the people of Iraq as more of a puppet gov't and if the U.S. pulled out, it would disintegrate. True democracies don't disintegrate.

[Lautremont]

20. "We'll leave Iraq as soon as we can, but not a minute too early"

or whatever the wording of that bullshit non-answer is. Also, dark hints about what the insurgents will do if a timetable is announced. "They'll just wait us out," smirky will say, as though that's some big change from the current state of affairs.

[ck4829]

21. Iraq's been a nation for 5,000 years?

Wow! Nobody ever told me that Iraq has been around the longest.

[Art_from_Ark]

28. Yeah, it's in Dick-ipedia

"The encyclopedia the bu$h misadministration makes up as they go along"

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

29. i think he's going to do alot of "appre-she-atin' "

i appre-she-ate y'all being here.

i appre-she-ate... _________! (fill in the blank)

[helderheid]

30. Saddam was elected

just unfairly like... someone else we know...
