**Hey Chimpy----I got your "wild speculation" RIGHT HERE.**
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 04:47 PM by tjwash
And I do mean,right here Georgie...

WASHINGTON -- President Bush labeled as "wild speculation" reports that the Pentagon is preparing contingency plans for a military attack against Iran.

While Bush and other administration officials have not ruled out the military option, Bush said he is working to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear bomb, adding that prevention "doesn't mean force necessarily. In this case it means diplomacy."




Right here too

"The doctrine of prevention is to work together to prevent the Iranians from having a nuclear weapon," the president said.

"... We hear in Washington, you know, 'prevention means force.' It doesn't mean force necessarily. In this case, it means diplomacy.

"And by the way, I read the articles in the newspapers this weekend. It was just wild speculation, by the way. What you're reading is wild speculation. Which is, kind of a -- you know, happens quite frequently here in the nation's capital."




Wild speculation George? As off base as, oh, I don't know, declaring "mission accomplished" over 3 years ago as you circled the water outside of San Diego, wearing a uniform you never earned, and commanding a force you never respected, AND didn't even show the common decency to actually be where the hostilities actually were taking place when you did so? Or as false and made up as saying that you would "root out all terrorists wherever they may hide"? Perhaps as big a stretch as you saying that you "will not tolerate any leaks in your administration"?

Why don't you just come out and say it George? Just say that it's the fault of the press that your approval ratings are at the lowest they have ever been? Just come out and say that it's the media's fault because they are not reporting the good news coming out of....

Ah screw it.

You're a loser, and everyone that still approves of you is a loser. Period. If your last name wasn't "Bush", and your grand-daddy didn't make a fortune war profiteering off of the Nazi's (your family business), you would be getting constantly fired from janitorial jobs for showing up drunk, and huffing the soap.

Like I said before, if anyone out there, who is not a defense contractor, a Halliburton Employee, or a Republican on capital hill, can actually find a living, breathing supporter of this illegal war you have dragged us into, they probably kill their own food, and live in a survivalist cabin with an animal carcass roof, somewhere in Montana.

36 percent? At his lowest, when they wanted to tar and feather him, and skin him alive, Richard Freaking Nixon never got to that low a number, and he ended up quitting, because HE, at least realized that he was part of what was destroying the very country that he loved. You seem to be completely clueless to that. So clueless in fact, that it scares me a little. You still think the saber rattling act is going to work now, because you changed it to "Iran" instead of "Iraq". The problem is, that it's not gonna work. You have used the "evil brown Muslim" card too many times now, and people just don't fall for it anymore.

The frightening part about it is, barring an impeachment and disgraceful forcing out of office that you so richly deserve, that you have 2 more years to go. We have now reached the point your "war on low poll numbers" to where you are going to have to start forcefully ripping children from their parents, and putting them on the front lines to satisfy the Mid-East manifest destiny that your handlers have plans for. Those permanent bases in Iraq aren't going to fill themselves up you know. And the sad thing is, that I would not put it past you or the group of sociopaths that you represent.

Despite what spin the Washington moonie press keeps trying to push as actual news, your time is running out. You, and your entire corrupt administration's days are numbered, and that has a lot of people on edge. Just because you managed to con a few million religious nut-bags, into flooding the polls on the fear that "those damn gay people might try to get married if you don't elect me", does not give you the right to act as if the post that you are occupying. is for your own selfish gain. You have gotten arrogant, and cocky, while breaking the law with absolute impunity, and the people are finally fed up with it.

America has finally awoke, and they are watching, at last. People such as veterans like myself, who have been to the places, and lived through the gunboat diplomacy that has caused America to become vilified around the globe. People like parents who have children that are getting ready to graduate high school. People like the wives, brothers, sisters, and children of Men and Women that have been recalled time and time again to active duty, to satisfy your family business of war profiteering. People that stand to have had their properties seized because you think that a little thing like "medicare" is a frivolity.

Remember neo-cons. 37 percent. There are more of us then there are of you...

1. Wild speculation?
I guess testing a 700 ton bomb in the Nevada desert now constitutes wild speculation.

4. The ol' non-denial denial
"That's speculation!" is a lot different from "That's not true!"

He didn't say we aren't planning an attack, because that would be a lie that he would get immediately called on. No, instead he just characterizes the stories as speculation and hopes that people read it as a denial. I'll give him one thing, at least he's consistent. He's been using that trick since day one.

Shorter Bush: "You're just guessing!"
