bush is on live now, explaining why he isn't "staying the course"

[still_one]

[The Brethren]

1. which side of his mouth will he use today?

[still_one]

4. He is using the "success" in Afganistan as a model

I can't believe people will believe this crap

[bdamomma]

9. what success in Afghanistan

once again he is spewing lies, and shows how delusional he is.

[still_one]

11. exactly

[The Brethren]

36. Rove will keep telling him

"REDIRECT...DISTRACT...REDIRECT...." I pray they don't buy it any longer.

[benny05]

5. Maybe this is the October surprise

Chimpy is talking about missteps, but refuses to concede the war was a mistake.

[still_one]

10. I think the October surprise is meeting the right wing

talk show hosts yesterday to spread the propaganda

[Lex]

19. His credibility is shot, even with much of the Repubs now.

Not sure anyone believes him anymore except the hardcore freeps.

[The Brethren]

34. I can't see him ever conceding anything

esp. about Iraq. He'll stomp his feet and pound his little fists on the table, but he'll never admit making a mistake. It'll come down to: "I don't recall saying that...." b.s.

[bdamomma]

38. and he will never withdraw those troops either.

[The Brethren]

55. I think you're right

He won't bring them home - not during his term unless he were threatened to be thrown out and even then he would try and excuse keeping them there. Nor will they admit that they're using a back-door draft to force military personnel to stay there.

[Lex]

2. Why doesn't he just say "Because 'stay the course' wasn't polling well

with the would-be voters in November."

Because that would be the truth.

[ShortnFiery]

3. He's tripping over his words again. :P

"Suck-cess" instead of "Success"

and "vio-let" instead of "Violent"

What an IDIOT! :eyes:

[still_one]

7. A week ago he referred to the world as a global place

[Freedom_from_Chains]

14. I love it when he says Merica.

Geez, we have a guy running the country who can't even properly say the name of the country he is running.

[ShortnFiery]

17. yep, we're Mericans!

:puke:

[Freedom_from_Chains]

6. We are going to cut and run on staying the course. n/t

[Lex]

16. LOL. Exactly!

:rofl:

[Freedom_from_Chains]

31. Yeah I figure they think that gives both parties something

they can live with. It is really sad when one looks at how low we have sunk.

[Eurobabe]

8. Barf, I can even see this asshole in the middle of nowhere on CNN

:puke: How did this dimwit ever get to be pRetzeldent.

[stella]

12. Dimwits elected him twice

[bdamomma]

13. with alot of help from diebold, the Supreme Court and Daddys

friends.

I can't listen to him anymore he is such a waste.

[ShortnFiery]

15. He's starting off edgy ...

let's hope that he'll lose control today and start yelling, spitting his words and, in general, break into a hissy fit.

He doesn't seemingly have that far to go before he reaches melt down. ;)

[The Brethren]

51. I say bring in The Church Lady

She'll help him through his meltdown.

[Iwasthere]

18. Remember back when he was running against Gore...

Everyone was questioning if he was intelligent enough. That if he did win he wouldn't be able to do much

[ShortnFiery]

20. No truer words were ever spoken ...

"the enemy will get a hold of THE OIL!"

Ding! Ding! Ding! Not their coveted Halliburton. ;)

[mtnsnake]

21. It was just a matter of time before "cut & run" came back to bite him in the ass

Fuck Bush, that miserable lying no good cowardly dipshit. How anyone could ever believe a word that comes out of his crooked mouth defies the imagination.

[ShortnFiery]

23. Let's hope that the strack White House Press Corps does it's job,

Today is the day he could go off "barking at the moon" MAD. He's close, real close. <crossing my fingers>

[zulchzulu]

22. New Repig buzzword: "Adopt To Win"

...er is it "adapt to win"...

Dems should call the policy "stay the quagmire"...

[youthere]

53. don't forget "tactical change"..

"Consistant strategy" with "tactical change" = stay the course.

[Eurobabe]

56. Hey isn't that's what MADONNA is doing??

A new strategery!!

[Solly Mack]

24. Sounds like "stay the course" to me

Nothing new

[benny05]

25. God, he finally said something true

If they give up in phasing out of the war in Iraq, they give up the oil field revenues.

[ShortnFiery]

28. Yeah, I caught that and note he said it as his FIRST POINT

if we "give up" the fight.

Here he goes again ... "it's a long (and never-ending) war." Fuck that! I'm not at war, Bush and his neo-cons have played out their boogie man fear mongering rhetoric. :P

[The Brethren]

54. I think he gets it......in part,

but will never admit it....agian that is. During the 2004 elections when the repugs were having their convention, he made a slip during an interview and on a very rare occasion was being honest. When he was asked if we could ever win the war on terrorism, he said ::paraphrasing:: no, because it will never end. A few days later, after I'm sure he got nailed royally for that by cheney and rove, he came back and said he had misspoken during that interview and went right back to the same ole rant that we will win.

Somewhere in that little brain of his, I think he realizes that global conflicts are complex and that occupying Iraq is not going to end it. And to admit that publicly - w/o backpedaling, means they have to then admit why we're really in Iraq and what their true motivations are.

[marions ghost]

26. "Americans

will support the war as long as they see a path to victory..."

Surreal. They. Just. Don't. Get. It.
Our fearful leader is insane.

I'd hate to be the rightwing spinners who have to spin this BS.

[Bob Loblaw]

27. what an embarrassment he is

He could fall out of a boat and not hit water.

[goclark]

29. He is saying the same thing, nothing has changed

Except he sasid Jim Baker would be talking to him now.

[ShortnFiery]

32. They reap what they sow.

Poppy's man, Jim Baker, will not be able to talk any sense into this moron. He will have to be dragged out of the White House in a straight jacket. He's lost all sense of reality. :(

[boise1]

30. What, no "Some would say we should stay the course"?

[Freedom_from_Chains]

33. Here it comes, "They hate us for our freedoms." n/t

[ShortnFiery]

35. There is no such entity at the end of an OCCUPATION ... no victory in that

:wtf: is he talking about? We have invaded and occupied a sovereign country. Every native will fight to get our wannabe Crusading a**es out of THEIR country.

Damn, he's stupid! :puke:

This is an illegal and immoral OCCUPATION - not a war. :(

[Freedom_from_Chains]

37. No, kidding! Do these morons on the right think that if an

Arab coalition invade us an implemented an Islamic theocracy that we would just roll over and go "Oh, that's ok, we don't want to be any trouble." Geeze.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

39. Yes David.

Ain't this all just politics for the election?

[ShortnFiery]

41. And no follow-up questions! What an imbecile. :( eom

[Freedom_from_Chains]

43. Well with the idiot response that Bush gave saying

how a timetable withdrawal was different from a withdrawal timetable, what is the need to ask any follow up questions. He already demonstrated his point that this fuckhead doesn't know what he's talking about.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

48. * just said he didn't give David an opportunity for a follow-up question

[ShortnFiery]

50. yes, and the little twerp took pride in that stunt. n/t

[benny05]

40. What Friggin' Job needs to be finished?

Why isn't a reporter asking him about the 1.2B missing from the Ministry of Defense, in which Bremer hired a bozo who knew nothing about procurement, bought a bunch of mid-20th century or recycled Russian shit, then others ran off with the money? And the State Department looks the other way and it's not our gov't's problem, even though it's our fuckin' money?

How can we trust them to "finish the job"?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

42. It's like having the stupidest kid in third grade

explain to me what an airplane or a ship is.

I apologize to anyone here who was the stupidest kid in third grade for comparing him or her to *.

"Stay the course?" Me?

[ShortnFiery]

44. They must have put the fear of God in the WH Press Corps ...

They are acting like a group of abused wives.

Operative words: Demure and Cowering. :scared:

We have NO 4th Estate at this Press Conference. :cry:

[Skidmore]

45. Sounds like he's staying the course to me.

I've only been able to hear a small portion of this but what I've heard sounds like the same old policy dressed up in new vocabulary words.

[ShortnFiery]

47. Democrats need to refer to Iraq as "an occupation"

This is NOT a war. :(

[Freedom_from_Chains]

46. Making excuses for Rumsfield now. Guess he will tell us shortly

that "He's the Decider."

[ShortnFiery]

49. there's his almighty "Let me finish" quip

Our troops are in the middle of a civil war, they are barely maintaining what can be considered an occupation. Either go in full bore (400,000 troops) or leave but don't keep our children in the middle of a f**king *Shooting Gallery.* Bastards! :puke:

[The Brethren]

52. I can only take so much of listening to him.

He's so fake and a liar i can't stomach it. He's stammering a lot and looks nervous. Even the press isn't laughing at his stupid jokes. I think he's also stammering because he's wired for sound as usual and he's trying to give himself time to hear Rove and not look constipated. But then he fumbles at his words. I can see Rove on the other end yelling "I didn't say that you moron!"
