WASHINGTON (AFP) - US
President George W. Bush told Iraqi Shiite leader Abdel Aziz al-Hakim that Iran and
Syria must halt their "destructive activity" in Iraq, a Bush aide said.

Bush said later in a television interview he was confident that Hakim and Iraqi Prime
Minister Nuri al-Maliki "are committed to ending murder" in the violence-riven country.

Later, in a speech after his meeting with Bush, he called for Baghdad to reach joint
security agreements with neighboring nations.

"We need to work on the following: Number one, conclude joint security agreements
with neighboring countries and the region to fight terrorism and hand over criminals,"
Hakim said at the US Institute of Peace.

Earlier, behind closed doors, Bush "spoke directly about Iran and Syria and the critical
need for them to respect Iraqi sovereignty and stop destructive activity that undermines
Iraq," a senior US official said on condition of anonymity.

1. bush** is nothing more than a sick comedian. The things he says

are so twisted and ignorant that if what he and his handlers wasn't so deadly and tragic, it would be funny to listen to him.

How can his father stand in front of the people in the Middle East and tell them his son is a 'decent' man?

2. Bush has been warning a lot of people lately, and no one pays attention

Bush warned Nicaragua against electing Daniel Ortega, so they elected Ortega. Bush warned Ecuador about electing leftist Rafael Correa, so they elected him President. Bush warned Venezuelans against Chavez, so they elected him to a second 6-year term. Bush warns Cubans that Fidel's illness spells the end of the regime, so Raul becomes President and people go about their business.

I don't think Bush even knows the difference between the Shia and the Sunis, and he is warning them?

3. and al-Hakim's reply? "WTF are you going to do to stop me?"

:rofl:

What A Fucking Joke the chimp is. Does he not realize most people are aware it is al-Hakim's death squads doing a lot of the murdering in Iraq? With Negroponte's encouragement?

What a fucking joke. :puke:

Responsibility always remains elsewhere.
