Tony Snow declares: This is not a war.
Press conference right now. David Gregory pressing Bush to start negotiations.
Snow says it wouldn't work.

2. It would serve no purpose to sit for 5 or 10 hours at a time....
Edited on Wed Jul-19-06 11:46 AM by kentuck
and accomplish nothing, he said. Yes, sitting for 5 hours to prevent war or killing is too much to ask from an Administration "on the move". We know they don't like these meetings where people "talk too much"...

18. The thing I hate most about Snow is the way he always answers
a serious question with "well, what do you want me to say?" I really
can't stand this cabal.

21. I dont' think Snotty "Jumped"- he was forced overboard.
But its still impossible to sell a burning bush.

23. I heard one of them the other day say, "Thank God for Pres. Bush"
It was only in channel shopping but that was enough to make me puke.

28. That used to happen to me too.
Then I decided to block their channel. Foulfaux can no longer spew into our home.

10. He's right, from the bush cabal/PNAC/AIPAC perspective
it won't work to help complete the real agenda here, that of control of the Middle East and the "regime change"-isn't that an innocuous term for what really is the death of thousands-in Iran and Syria and, eventually, Saudi Arabia, etc.

11. Ignore the fighter jets flying overhead, folks.
Ignore the missiles flying by.

Ignore the explosions, the collapsing buildings, the dead people.

This is not a war. Just go about your normal business, nothing to see here. Move along, folks, The Bush Administration says this isn't a war.

:sarcasm:

12. Nope, not a war. It's everyone's imagination. Everybody is being
evacuated in order not to pay their bills.

24. I believe this is the same Tony Snow that said 2500 dead Americans
was just a number, so apparently what is going over there is not war, it's just a giant math exercise.

Also Tony Snow's "humanity" is just a word, fictitious at that.

26. What is it, a pillow fight?
I'd call missiles and bombs being tossed around day after day a war. I can't think of any other term. Hell, these guys call going after some nebulous terrorists a war; this certainly fits the dictionary definition a hell of a lot better.

Of course, they're Repukes. Words are only meaningful if they SAY they are.
