Bush** in BBC interview: America occupies moral high ground after Abu Ghraib.

[AlinPA]

<clip>Asked whether America still occupies the moral high ground after Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, Mr Bush gave a crisply and blunt answer, our interviewer says.

"Absolutely," he replied. "We believe in human rights and human dignity. We believe in the human condition. We believe in freedom." <end clip>

[bdamomma]

2. and what did the BBC reporter say to him about that lie.

[Uncle Joe]

13. He hasn't stopped laughing, they had to take him away in a straight-jacket. n/t

[malaise]

3. Bush is a fugging delusional maniac

Get a straight jacket.

[Muttocracy]

4. his use of the word "we" should be illegal nt

[AlinPA]

5. I cringe when I hear people use "we" when talking about Iraq or other

things that Rove-Bush** screwed up.

[Javaman]

6. man, you can't make this shit up.

what a fucking psychotic loon*.

[spanone]

7. a blind drunk is all i can imagine

[spanone]

8. dupe sorry

[Disturbed]

9. The Silver Spoon Sociopath spouts more Dogshit.

Does anyone except his Cult believe this crap?

[AlinPA]

11. In the few places I've been overseas (yes, pubs) they think he is a moron

and that he is rotten.

[Winterblues]

10. " We believe in the human condition."

WTF does he mean by this statement? What condition?

[ladjf]

12. In a way, Bush always indicates which side is true. It's simple,

reverse every statement he makes and you will have the truth. It's the upside down world of the Republicanism.

[Disturbed]

14. The actual beliefs of Busholini.

"We don't believe in human rights and human dignity. We don't believe in freedom."

[ladjf]

20. That's it exactly!

[Apollo11]

15. They have the full transcript up on the BBC website

They call him "Mr Bush" B-)

The idiot seems hell-bent on ignoring John McCain's opposition to torture.


Matt Frei: The Senate yesterday passed a bill outlawing water-boarding. You, I believe, have said that you will veto that bill.

Mr Bush: That's not -

Frei: Does that not send the wrong signal...

Mr Bush: No, look... that's not the reason I'm vetoing the bill. The reason I'm vetoing the bill - first of all, we have said that whatever we do... will be legal. Secondly, they are imposing a set of standards on our intelligence communities in terms of interrogating prisoners that our people will think will be ineffective. And, you know, to the critics, I ask them this: when we, within the law, interrogate and get information that protects ourselves and possibly others in other nations to prevent attacks, which attack would they have hoped that we wouldn't have prevented? And so, the United States will act within the law. We'll make sure professionals have the tools necessary to do their job within the law. Now, I recognise some say that these - terrorists - really aren't that big a threat to the United States anymore. I fully disagree. And I think the president must give his professionals within the law the necessary tools to protect us. So, we're not having a debate not only how you interrogate people. We're having a debate in America on whether or not we ought to be listening' to terrorists making' phone calls in the United States. And the answer is darn right we ought to be.

Frei: But, given Guantanamo Bay, given also Abu Ghraib, given renditions, does this not send the wrong signal to the world?

Mr Bush: It should send a signal that America is going to respect law. But, it's gonna take actions necessary to protect ourselves and find information that may protect others. Unless, of course, people say, "Well, there's no threat. They're just making up the threat. These people aren't problematic." But, I don't see how you can say that in Great Britain after people came and, you know, blew up bombs in subways. I suspect the families of those victims are - understand the nature of killers. And, so, what people gotta understand is that we'll make decisions based upon law. We're a nation of law. Take Guantanamo. Look, I'd like it to be empty. On the other hand, there's some people there that need to be tried. And there will be a trial. And they'll have their day in court. Unlike what they did to other people. Now, there's great concern about, you know, and I can understand this. That these people be given rights. The - what - they're not willing' to grant the same rights to others. They'll murder. But, you gotta understand, they're getting rights. And I'm comfortable with the decisions we've made. And I'm comfortable with recognising this is still a dangerous world.

19. So he is comfortable with what was done at Abu Ghraib.

[WinkyDink]

16. The expression "We believe in the human condition" is so inane, so literally meaningless, that Bush

shows ONCE AGAIN his TOTAL PSYCHOPATHY.

This is not a being who in the LEAST cares about ANY OTHER HUMAN (I use the word "other" extremely lightly). He utters the empty words of a SOCIOPATH, designed only to SOUND remotely human, but without any actual meaning.

[Disturbed]

17. This Silver Spoon Sociopath sounds a like a low IQ

ten year old. That he has been the Pres. of the USA for seven years is astounding.

[Apollo11]

21. I noticed that too. He is so frikkin' SCARY

I found this definition on wikipedia:
The human condition encompasses all of the experience of being human. As mortal entities, there are a series of biologically determined events that are common to most human lives, and some that are inevitable for all. The ongoing way in which humans react to or cope with these events is the human condition.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_condition

So believing in the human condition means absolutely NOTHING AT ALL.

What is this idiot going to say next?

"We believe in the nature of reality."

"We believe in the future of the world." :eyes:

[Solly Mack]

18. He's slapping us across the face with that one

and not just us either

That he is still in office is an insult to the American people.

[Karenina]

23. My eyes were crossing

as I read the excerpt in post #15!!! EEEEEEKKKK!!! :crazy:

[Solly Mack]

24. His brain gave up a long time ago ...now his mouth works at the behest of his ass

[Karenina]

27. I gave my students the assignment

to read the interview and translate it into English for me. :rofl::evilgrin::rofl:

[malaise]

22. I missed this thread

and reposted the video and transcipt link

[Vinca]

25. He doesn't read the newspapers - maybe no one told him about

Abu Ghraib. What an embarrassment he is.

[paparush]

26. "..we believe in freedom...for the top .01% to get richer at any and all cost.."
