Powell had my head spinning with his LIES (Fox & MSNBC)
Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 10:42 AM by underpants
Loose quotes

America has never been interested in imperial territorial conquest

The President has a vision that will unify the world

The President has started a inclusive world commitment that does not exclude but include.

The President says we must stand for:
respect for private property
limited government
respect for liberty and dignity

1. "The President has a vision that will unify the world - against us."
See, if you let him finish what he's saying it actually makes sense.

29. Of course we're winning the war on terror! How many times has
the World Trade Center been attacked since Bush started his war on Iraq?

30. How many terrorist attacks have taken place?
Um I lost count.

Of course that doesn't count in the "well it hasn't happened since" justification crowd.

34. I hope you were able to recognize that
as sarcasm.

Remember, this administration was blaming Clinton for all the terrorist attacks going on when Powell was going over to the ME to help negotiate peace between Israel & Palestine.

And blaming him for them after, too.

Remember, "Clinton shot for the moon".

11. Stop being so cynical it about LIBERTY!
liberating all that oil and water from a non-crony captilistic system.

LET THE OIL AND WATER BE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Oh yeah and the people too so they may set forth on a mission of freeing said oil and water.

7. "Far more Iraqis are worried about us leaving too soon ...
not staying too long"

He is telling how great it is now in Iraq.

I agree I used to like the guy too. I took some lumps for that. Personally I'm sure he's okay but he should have gotten off this poopshit a long time ago.

8. Underpants--I was just rushing here to post about this--what SHIT
They have him on for his entire speech on cable news networks (why>>--it's just an address to Georgetown U.). He's speaking totally eloquently--something we never hear from da Presidente. And they I realize he's talking about Bush. I swear every 10 worlds is "The President". He's praising this man of vision and leadership and blah and blah. He begins reading and I thought he was reading like Lincoln or Jefferson NO NO, he's reading the words of Bush that are really eloquent (give me a fucking break Bush can't even sign his name with an X much less write)!!! This is one of the most put up pieces of political shit I've ever seen and obviously these scumbag shit head whores who had to cut away the minute Kerry spoke the other day, have not and will not cut away. What you are seeing folks is the beginning of THEIR campaign to say "oh, this criticism of the fantastic visions and work of our President is just foolish..foolish, foolish politics---now run along, you President is back from vacation and all is well in the world (oh, and please forget that the French and Germans just told us to fuck off). By the by: I've noted that both networks have removed the ticker about Gep saying Bush was a Total Failure and replaced it with Joes attack on Dean. PROPAGANDA IS BACK, ALIVE AND WELL AND BEING CRANKED OUT AT A PHENOMINAL RATE--WELCOME TO CAMPAIGN '04.

14. That is the best synopsis one could write
Fox actually just cut away. Still on MSNBC.

This reminds me of the Today Show yesterday---Ahhnold did not attend the debate.............so let's talk about him and the Chris Mathews interview....Chris great interview and congratulations (Mathews almost broke out laughing and the absurdity).

10. Bush Made Him Repeat Those Lies In Return For Approaching U.N.
He is a whipped man in every way possible and his son is a bastard to boot.

15. Whoever it is they aren't responding
They must be sitting there with their jaws open thinking "What color is the sky in their world".

Powell went to GWU and he actually had some self-depricating remarks at the beginning.

16. Let's run those through the translator...
America has never been interested in imperial territorial conquest
True. Historically, we prefer economic control through a friendly dictator (see the Philippines, pre-Castro Cuba, Somoza's Nicaragua, etc.)

The President has a vision that will unify the world
"Make them all my serfs"

The President has started a inclusive world commitment that does not exclude but include.
"Make them all my serfs"

The President says we must stand for:
respect for private property

...unless it's near a staduim he wants to build (with public money)and wants to cash in on its rising value

limited government
except when awarding no-bid contracts to his pals

respect for liberty and dignity
...at least for those worth speaking of.

20. Gotta say, Underpants, that I wonder why they sent him to kick off
the campaign. After all, the last time he forcefully presented material from his great leader of vision it was total fucking lies and he had to end up eating the goddamn grad paper!!!! This man is exactly what Harry Belfonte said he was. And how did you get into Georgetown and places like that Powell----did the repukes fight for equal rights for ya?????

25. I have some ideas on this
Look I used to.......well.......tolerate him (policy wise he is 180 degrees away from them) but I think if he really wanted to he could fry them. Why doesn't he? God knows.

27. Hot got into the Bush Crime Family by covering up for My Lai
He got his "button" that year, and has been a filthy Bushevik ever since.

Colon Foul is no good. Even if he is the "best" of an extraordinary group of crook and frauds and Totalitarians, he is still lower than a dab of catshit.

Did anyone else get that? Reason has failed him. Now he's switching to frothy emotional appeals.

Well, to paraphrase the inarticulate one, fool me once, fuck you, fool me twice, . . . can't get fooled again.

24. What a load of bollocks....
..I simply cannot believe that a man of his supposed integrity would allow himself to be used this way..

But then again why is he a republican...

A black man being pro-republican is like a chicken being pro-KFC...

26. What the hell happened to Powell?
The only thing that makes sense to me is that the administration has photos of him fondling little boys. Either that, or he was knocked off and replaced by a robot. Remember when he had his own opinions? Remember when he didn't always agree with this administration? Remember when he sounded intelligent? Remember????
