BUSH: "If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them!
General Ricardo Sanchez's Book Slams Bush, Iraq Handling
Washington Post | June 2, 2008 10:51 AM


Among the anecdotes in "Wiser in Battle: A Soldier's Story" is an arresting portrait of Bush after four contractors were killed in Fallujah in 2004, triggering a fierce U.S. response that was reportedly egged on by the president.

During a videoconference with his national security team and generals, Sanchez writes, Bush launched into what he described as a "confused" pep talk:

"Kick ass!" he quotes the president as saying. "If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell! This Vietnam stuff, this is not even close. It is a mind-set. We can't send that message. It's an excuse to prepare us for withdrawal."

"There is a series of moments and this is one of them. Our will is being tested, but we are resolute. We have a better way. Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking!"

A White House spokesman had no comment.

1. If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them!
Now if those aren't the words of a good Christian man, I don't know what is! :eyes:

The Christians who supported this monster should be so proud at what they've wrought on the rest of the world. In their belief, they'll have to answer to their maker for their deeds.

:sarcasm:

6. Hasn't he said something else similar?
Something like "if you come over here we will kill you"

I think the person who is afraid is Bush himself

Iran's Khamenei labels Bush 'mad'

Iran's supreme leader has reaffirmed his country's commitment to a peaceful nuclear programme, while attacking George Bush, the US president as "mentally ill".

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a ceremony honouring the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic, that Tehran had no interest in building nuclear weapons.

"Look at behaviour of the US president and members of his team, their words are like those of the mentally ill," he said on Tuesday.


Bingo!!!!
