Bush Insists Al Qaeda in Iraq Threatens U.S.

[RedEarth]

WASHINGTON, July 24 — President George W. Bush argued forcefully today that an Al Qaeda-affiliated group in Iraq is linked tightly to the central Al Qaeda leadership, and that for American forces to leave Iraq without defeating the terror group would be “dangerous for the world and disastrous for America.”

1. He didn't define 'disastrous'? Does it mean attacks on US soil,

or just attacks on US foreign interests? Or does he differentiate at all, even?

More likely it doesn't really matter anyway. Oh, and I don't buy the "linked tightly" part.

[Beelzebud]

2. Bush is the biggest threat to world stability since Adolph Hitler.

Yeah, I said it.

[LSparkle]

4. Yeah, and you're RIGHT

He's a fucking liar and a menace to the entire world, and he STILL thinks we're dumb enough to buy his steaming crap!

[theredpen]

6. Well, I was thinking it... n/t

[Trouser Trout]

3. What is he.......retarded?

Nobody believes anything he says anymore.

[Atman]

5. They're gonna drive their car bombs over here to blow us up

They'll have to use waterproof detonators, though.

:eyes:

This man is a stupid fucking moran.

15. Floating Volkswagens. It can be done.

In the comedy hit What's Up, Doc? (1972), Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand, after a climactic car chase, end up floating in San Francisco Bay in their Beetle.

7. that's why ALL of the international polls

show * a far greater threat to global stability than Bin Laden. His clueless rhetoric is getting tiresome in the last throes of is terror.

8. Let's hope his "insisting" about iraq is every bit as persuasive as it was about Social Security. nt

[mymomwasright]

9. TARRA! TERRA! TERRA!

It'd be funny if there weren't idiots that listen to him.

[Trouser Trout]

10. Ahh yes, the 25 percenters ! n/t

[Kokonoe]

22. It's 19 or 20, and they rule. n/t

11. The expressions of the two guys right behind him are interesting.

on his right the guys' got a 1,000 yard stare and on his left the guy looks like trying to back away from the crazy person.

[zonmoy]

12. setting us up for a ffta

13. The poor troops behind him seem to be unimpressed

with the decider and his ideas.

perhaps they aren't 25%ers

[baldguy]

14. There is no "central Al Qaeda leadership"

Al Qaeda is a phone book.

It's like saying: that since someone from Chicago committed a murder, then we have to be on guard against being attacked by the Greater Metro Chicago White Pages.

[Disturbed]

17. There are around 1,500 al Q members in Iraq.

The Insurgency with various groups are around 200,000 strong. There goes dumbya with his fuzzy math again.

[shain from kane]

19. So we are expected to spend 12 billion dollars per week to chase down 1,500 people. Let's throw in

the towel, and come home. Even the Pentagon can't justify that kind of spending, and Bush* has an M.B.A. from Harvard.

[Johonny]

20. we are spending

12 billion a week to keep our troops close enough to that 1,500 that they can hurt Americans. Money well spent.

[intaglio]

21. I hope that was sarcasm

Please say it was :sarcasm:

[Jersey Devil]

16. So we have to look for their WMD in Iraq, right?

I have this eerie feeling of deja vu

[Supersedeas]

18. so it is not a political solution or a diplomatic solution but a military victory of al-CaCa
