"I believe that when the final chapters of the 21st century are written, people will say we appreciate the courage and sacrifice made by our respected countries in laying the foundations for peace," Mr Bush said. But the problem for the Republican and Liberal parties is not the judgments to be made in 2100 but what is unfolding in 2007.

1. So he thinks that he will be mentioned as a major factor in this 100 year period ?

:evilgrin::spank:

[mod mom]

4. probably will but not for the reasons he thinks-it will be for the massive corruption,

destruction of constitutional rights and the hugest military blunder in history.

2. Republican and Liberal parties?

Did he forget that we're the Democratic Party?

5. this is a report from Australlia re: Bush and Howard

[ljm2002]

3. "the Republican and Liberal parties" ???

:wtf:

I guess the Australian journalists are learning from their US colleagues how to distort and obfuscate.

But just for this reporter's information: The two major parties in the United States are called the Republican Party (funny, he got that one right) and the Democratic Party.

Geez.

[Igel]

15. And if the reporter meant that, probably that's what you'd have read.

Read it as, "But the problem for Bush's and Howard's parties." Howard's not from the Democratic Party, but the Liberal Party.

Bush : Republican Party :: Howard : Liberal Party.

It is, after all, an article written by an Australian in an Australian newspaper, so perhaps a small reference to Australian politics isn't entirely out of place.

16. Oh -- sorry, I get it now!

What threw me, was that Howard is certainly no liberal in our sense of the word!

My mistake.

6. Sure chimpy....whatever..

You've been wrong about everything. This prediction is wrong as well.

[niyad]

7. "respected"???? by WHOM? talk about hubris, georgie boy.

[Bitwit1234]

8. More like the destruction of a democratic country.....

the United States of America.

[soleft]

9. He'll be remembered as the iceberg that hit the Titanic

The cow that started the Chicago Fire

The foam that took down the Columbia

The flea on the rat that started the plague

Feel free to add your own

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Wow. Doesn't that mean he's planning for another 93 years of war?

[flyarm]

11. I believe that when the final chapters of the 21st century are written...."

YOU WILL STILL BE KNOWN AS THE PUPPET IDIOT AND EVIL SOB, AND just plain nuts..and a murderer of over 1 million Iraqi's..you will be known as the worst and most evil president in our nations history!

12. After reading the opening line the to whole

article, I think they had a typo:
They wrote

GEORGE W. Bush is a winker.

Didn't they mean a wanker?

[Supersedeas]

13. once again...the MEANS to and END argument -- the END being a legacy

the Means being lying, stealing and killing in the hope of getting CREDIT for some peaceful end achieved by OTHERS.

17. We can't see his greatness for all the commas in the way

But with enough perspective, ie., being God or distanced 100 years - His Greatness Will Shine Through. Thank you, Master George! Future generations will praise you! Who knew that the drunken fratboy installed as president would turn out to be such a great man?

[WinkyDink]

14. I think he was more honest when he cynically opined that "we'll all be dead".
