    I am not sure if some one posted this earlier, but the quotes below are actually quotes from bush recorded from various sources. But these collectively are taken from www.thetruthaboutgeorge.com


    <LI>"We're now saying, democracy must flourish. And as I recall from my history, it took us quite a while here in the United States, but nevertheless we are making progress."
    —Bush, in a "Meet the Press" interview shown Sunday, Feb. 8, 2004, discussing Iraq's transformation to democracy

    <LI>"The recession started upon my arrival. It could have been some say February, some say March, some speculate maybe earlier it started, but nevertheless it happened as we showed up here."
    —Bush, in the same interview, discussing the economy

    <LI>"I don't speak ill of anybody in the process here. I think if you went back and looked at my comments, you will see I don't attack."
    —Bush, in the same interview. (The Washington Post reported on Feb. 20 that the Bush re-election campaign will spend "tens of millions of dollars" on a negative ad campaign focusing on the likely Democratic nominee, Sen. John Kerry.)
    A President in Denial

    • "A new Iraq will also need a humane, well-supervised prison system."

      —Bush, remarks to 2003 Republican National Committee Presidential Gala, Oct. 8, 2003
    • "One thing is for certain: There won't be any more mass graves and torture rooms and rape rooms."

      —Bush, remarks on "Efforts to Globally Promote Women's Human Rights," March 12, 2004
    • "Our military is performing brilliantly. See, the transition from torture chambers and rape rooms and mass graves and fear of authority is a tough transition. And they're doing the good work of keeping this country stabilized as a political process unfolds."
      —Bush, remarks on "Tax Relief and the Economy," Iowa, April 15, 2004
    • "We acted, and there are no longer mass graves and torture rooms and rape rooms in Iraq."
      —Bush, remarks at Victory 2004 Reception, Florida, April 23, 2004
    • "A year ago, I did give the speech from the carrier, saying that we had achieved an important objective, that we'd accomplished a mission, which was the removal of Saddam Hussein. And as a result, there are no longer torture chambers or rape rooms or mass graves in Iraq."
      —Bush, remarks in the Rose Garden, April 30, 2004
    • "Because we acted, torture rooms are closed, rape rooms no longer exist, mass graves are no longer a possibility in Iraq."
      —Bush, remarks at "Ask President Bush" event, Michigan, May 3, 2004
    <LI>"Oftentimes, we live in a processed world—you know, people focus on the process and not results."
    —Bush, speaking on the Middle East peace process

    Source: The Washington Post, "With Edwards, White House Shows First-Strike Capability," Dana Milbank, Feb. 11, 2003

    Source: Federal Document Clearing House, "Taking Action to Strengthen Small Business Remarks by the President on the Economy," Jan. 22, 2003

    <LI>"Speaking about barbaric regimes, we must deal with probably one of the most—not probably—one of the most real threats we face, and that is the idea of a barbaric regime teaming up with a terrorist network and providing weapons of mass destruction to hold the United States and our allies and our friends blackmail."

    Wait... how is the President in denial about the torture chambers and rape rooms being gone? Because if you're talking about the Abu-Garab prison thing, you are very full of shit.

    Hey, Don't call him full of shit, if you are angry about those quotes being related to Abu Ghraib, than email the site and bitch at them, but all he did was copy and paste them here, he wasn't the one that wrote them himself.

    Peace and Love,
    Dan

    I think that Bush has an unhealthy obsession with rape rooms and torture chambers, he talks about them entirely too much. Perhaps there is something we don't know about our resident. :&


    One would think that after the 10 interview in which he discusses rape rooms, torture chambers and mass graves that he would have picked up a freakin thesaurus and found a different way to say the same thing. I mean what kind of politician doesn't know how to do that? :rolleyes:

    Do people here honestly believe that the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers, reprehensible as it might be, can be compared to the mass killing of dissidents perpetrated by Saddam Hussein?

    No, but then again it would have been nice if the U.S. hadn't been supporting Saddam when he was carrying out those atrocities.

    Ashame that the U.S. and Britain were the only countries that vetoed the U.N. resolution in 1988 condemning Saddam's use of chemical weapons. But yet in 2003, they claimed it was a horrible thing.

    nope I just find Bush to be annoying and find it interesting that he couldn't have come up with a different way to say the same damn thing over and over and over and over and over again. It isn't just him, I don't really care to listen to anyone who repeats the same meaningless crap. That is pretty much why I don't respond to as many threads here as I used to because most of it is the same ol shit just a different day and a different poster. I personally was not comparing any killings because it is my opinion that two wrongs do not make a right and I'm not really down with killing anyone. But that is just me. You carry on.

    Do you honestly believe that 3000 dead at 9/11, reprehensible as it might be, can be compared to the slaying of 13000 innocent iraqi's and the atomic dust that will be there for millions of years? 9/11 was horrible, but because of that 13000 people who never did anything didnt have to die either. Think about it. Dont call me some sort of terrorist supported or somthing stupid, because I'm not.

    Fair enough. Are there ever cases in which you believe that military action is justified, despite the inevitable risk of civilian casualties?
