Bush in a recent speech performed in cleveland:


Bush three years ago:


I know this ain't big news. I just find it amusing in that really 'annoying type' of way.

Comments?

Bardock42
Well, he didn't say 9/11, did he?

Victor Von Doom
Yeah, I suppose it's a bit of Clinton-esque avoision.

Alpha Centauri
I know what you mean about it being amusing in an annoying way, for sure.

"First-just if I might correct a misperception, I don't think we ever said, at least I know I didn't say that there was a direct connection between September 11th and Saddam Hussein."

How can anyone deny the man is stupid? I don't even bother with all the dissing, but he just makes it so easy.

It really doesn't matter what Bush does, you're going to be an A-hole about everything he says and does anyway, so he may as well try to cover his tracks along the way..

Though if I were president I'd be even more straightfoward and direct then Bush. "I think Saddam is a lunatic, I want his buried six feet under, I'm going to use our military and weapons to insure that happens, and if you don't like it, tough titties.."

And ofcourse, you whiney liberals would complain I'm reckless, arrogant, blahblahblah, in this for the money or some lame conspiracy you thoughtup or whatever. roll eyes (sarcastic)

And then when confronted with all this crap, I'd have to say "what partof tough titties did you not understand? Do I need to get my translator up in here?"

Yep, we deffinitely need more guys like Bush running the show, heck, maybe even more George W. like then George W. himself..

A) It's not hard to be more direct and straightforward than Bush.

B) Your role as president is to do what's best for your country, not what's best for you and to hell with everyone else if they don't like it.

After all that bitching about how the government is only in it for the money, he goes and says that people would complain about him being in it for the money.

What he says is basically invalid at this point.

its a distraction anyway.
it was admitted by the bush administration that there were no ties between saddam and al qaeda. THAT was the third reason to go to war which was proven false, besides saddam's nuKulEr ambition and WMD's.

In as much that by semantics you mean what words mean, I think this is a very valid issue, yes.

If you are going to say that Bush linked Hussein with Al Qaeda and that Al Qaeda is responsible for 9/11, then fine.

But at this point you have to bear in mind the meaning of 'direct connection'. The situation above is the very essence of indirectness.

It's a simple use of words and a bit harsh to criticise him for it.

rubbish. you are being completely obtuse.
either that or you clearly did not pay attention to any of his speeches since 9/11. whenever making the case for war, he would open up with 9/11 and go on to declair hussein as the cause of the next 9/11...UNLESS WE STOP HIM!!! so it was war. the O-N-L-Y thing that drove the u.s. to war by his bidding was his constant tying together of 9/11 and hussein. to deny that is to be ridiculously deliberate.

he got everyone on a technicallity, fine whatever. but dont sit there and pretend ignorance to the fact that it was structured to be that way, and people were MEANT to see a direct connection between hussein and 9/11

But it would indeed be unfair to make out that he ever implied Hussein was directly responsible. He never did that, and if wants to deny it, that's fine.

If you want to reply to that denial by saying "Yeah, but you said he was harbouring the people who DID plan it and that appears to have been bullshit," then that is also fine.

But his statement is fair. He never did make a direct connection and it should be fine for him to say that.

What you want to infer is your business, but it is still a fact that he never made a direct link.

funny, because i have no patience for is people who are so engrained in their own politics that they will deliberately deny the routine deceit which led a country to war and support a word game which led to this mess. its one thing to acknowledge the constant play on words which never technically directly connected hussein and 9/11, but completely ridiculous to deny that the 2 have been mentioned in the same passage of every single speech he made in attempting to sell the war.

in other words, point it out if you wish, you are correct in that. but if you would go on to try to exonerate him based on that, WOW dude. WOW.

My main point Ush is that his administration went out of their way to link Saddam to Al Queda. He did that Immediately post 9/11. It was an obvious attempt to rally the country, and sew the seeds.

It was a deliberate smoke and mirrors act that is now being dismissed as a "misunderstanding". He may not have said that there was a direct link between the two, but he and his administration indeed fostered that misconception.

Ush isn't denying any of that. Merely that there wasn't an attempt to make a direct connection between Hussein and 9/11, nothing more.

Ushgarak
No, you are misunderstanding, Kharma. That he made a link with Al Qaeda is not even vaguely in doubt.

What he never did is make a direct link between Hussein and 9/11. To do that, he would have actually had to have said:

"Saddam Hussein helped plan 9/11."

Never at any point was this done.

This is a simple matter of understanding language. If you give someone a gun and then that person shoots someone dead, the only person directly responsible for the murder is the person who pulled the trigger, even if the person who supplied the gun still has to share some of the blane. The supplier's involvement is indirect. That is the entire point of having these words in the language.

The people they directly linked were Al Qaeda, and no-one else.

PVS
what is annoying ush, is not your denial that bush directly linked the two in plain wording, because you are correct in pointing that out. what is unnerving is your denial of the constant implication of a connection made from 9/11 until we went to war. and it just seems that way, although technically off topic as it all is. 9/11 was used to make us scared of saddam.

Yes I agree that is is smoke a mirrors, but not for the reasons you are claiming.

Ushgarak
Again, you are making that up.

It was never implied that there was a direct connection. Never EVER.

His justication for war was rejecting weapon inspectors, threatening global security, and that they were helping the people that WERE directly responsible.

Never did he remove the middle man, not even by implication.

i'm making up that bush constantly evoked 9/11 in his pre-war speeches? thats all my own fantasy? you're actually going to attempt that or am i misunderstanding you?

Arachnoidfreak
Yes, he never said 'Iraq did it' and detail a direct connection

the real argument here is that there was still a connection, nonetheless and indirect connection, and a misconception that the government did not even try to clear up until after the war already started.

Capt_Fantastic
If a direct implication wasn't intended, then why would he wait three years to put the misconception to rest? When he stood on that pile of rubble in the middle of Manhattan, he promised the country and the world that we were going to catch and punish those responsible. His administration scared teh sh*t out of everyone by saying that the disasters were going to get worse once they (the terrorists) got their hands on nuclear weapons. Then he said that Iraq was stocking "weapons of mass destruction" Well, here we are five years later and the only "ace of spades" we have in custody is Saddam. Were as much effort directed into finding bin Laden we would have been pulling him out of a hole in the ground. The only reason we haven't found him is because we aren't looking for him. And the only reason we aren't looking for him is because his family is in bed with the Saudi Royal family...and Bush's is a the third hand in that circle jerk. There's a reason his family got shuffled out of this country on 9/11 when all other flights had been grounded.

If Bush has never implied a connection between the two, then what is this:



Here's the implication for those who are having trouble grasping it:

al-Qaeda were the terrorists Bush has asserted were the purportrators of 9/11.

Is it clear now?

Anyone trying to argue against this being an implication must have had great difficulty in English class. Here's something else that will no doubt perplex these people:

THAT's who I wanted to think of earlier today! But I couldn't remember! Thankyou! (Guess liberals do have a purpose afterall, and it involves hippity hoppity music..)

I always confuse lil john for r kelly..

Darth Jello
you didn't answer me. If you can't define what liberalism is and argue for or against it, then your arguements can't be taken seriously and should be taken as blunt hate or as a metaphor for some other group of people you hate. The same way that "east coast liberal" is a nice way of saying k!ke

Hack Benjamin
...What are you yammering about now? And I've already explained why I refuse to answer your inane question, I refuse to waste my time when you know as well as I do what the differance is between libertarians, socialists, and neo-liberals.. And kike isn't even a word..

Darth Jello
it's a derogatory term for my people-those of a hebraic persuasion. and your inability to define liberalism in any capacity other than meaningless scapegoat simply renders you an idiot without the ability to make a reasoned argument.
Stick to the comicbook forums or discussing if Kirk could whip Picard's ass.

Hack Benjamin
Only a liberal would say Picard! laughing

Darth Jello
only a fool misses the point.

The Black Ghost
Just read this; Heres the answer to your question: Bush said that Saddam Hussein aided Al-Queda, which he did. That was his first quote three years ago. In the more recent one he says "Saddam Hueissen was not likely not directly associated with 9/11"; also a true statement because Saddam Hussein AIDEDand HARBORED AL-Queda, he wasnt a member or ranking official in it. While he may have known of the plan, Saddam was not an active participant in 9/11. Some people like to twist other people's words (Bush's for one) and this is just another example. I think whoever started this clearly misunderstood his words because they are pretty basic if you just stop and think. cool

Darth Jello
evidence has shown that Hussein actually persecuted and deported members of al qaida, who happened to swoop right in as soon as the country became a destabalize warzone.
here's your arguement:
Saddam Hussein hates america
Al Qaida Hates America
Saddam Hussein is a Muslim
Al Qaida is a Muslim
so Saddam Hussein must be Al Qaida.
The problem here is logic
Why would Saddam Hussein-a secular autocrat sticking to the stalinist autocrat model of governing-civillian terror and a personality cult side with religous fanatics who would threaten his rule by nullifying his cult with sharia?

Hack Benjamin
Well then in all honusty it's better we attacked Saddam then Al-Quedia anyway.

Securalists suck, securalism leads to liberalism and liberalism leads to suffering..

from reliable sources, and not including the oppotunists that ran right in after we destabalized the place.

The Black Ghost
Well if they ARENT a reliable source then who is? Saddam?

Darth Jello
you gave me a rumsfeld quote, an editorial from an expert on china, and an AP article which in no way invalidates my argument.

Cuz that's just the way it is.

We say that the world needs policing, and just like a junkee who's slangin' on a street corner, the rest of the world denies it.

The US is to the world, as a cop is to a bad neighborhood.

Who else is gonna do it.......Swaziland?

who are we? I know my country follow US like a puppet on a string still dont make it right for "us" to tell others how to act

no US is to the world like a bad cop who picks the things that suits and gain him, a freelancing cop

why not, they might be more just for the task

I'll make this simple so it will reflect your state of being:

Clinton's mistake = a blow job and a 'lie'.

Bush's mistake = a 'lie', wars, tens of thousands dead.

Can you see a difference, little man? Let's see if you can use one of your precious bullets to hit the balls-eye? Or will there simply be more bull-shit?

Alpha Centauri
Clinton's mistake was to do with his private life (which even President's are entitled to) and his marriage, not anyone else in the world. It was no different than when tabloids report on celeb marriages breaking up.

Bush's mistakes have cost thousands of lives.

I agree and the USA also shouldn't need to contribute the largest sum of money of the countries involved and use more of its military then the other countries as well.

Oh wait but we do so look who's interests get protected first.

I think you should go check some of the names you have given money too...

and concidering your so quick to prevent others having any nuclear weapons or development your quick to stockpile your own... (and your the only country to ever use them...)

Perhaps you should concider why these people are soo against the USA, if all there claiming is to help....roll eyes (sarcastic)

Everyone has dirty laundry everyone just wants to dig through the USA's first because our hamper is the largest. USA contributes a larger sum of money then MOST members to the UN. So much in fact we want to curtail some of our payment and the UN is afraid it will fall under budget should this be the case maybe the UK should tax more and contribute the difference

Also I am not a politician so I have never made any nuclear weapons nor used any. Stopping others from making them well you be the judge of that cuz some countries that are developing them are scary.

I also never said the USA helps everyone, people are scaried of the USA which is why they are against us, big kids on the block always garner more attention.

Baaaad policing there!
I'm not scared of the USA, I have friends over there. But, man, am I scared of its administration. And that some of that countries people, like you, are so brainwashed you don't mind if your government lies to you is even scarier.

The big brainwashing comes from people that dive into media far to often to come up with information, call me a svnic and you would be correct. So now brainwashing aside what would be a goal to achieve with the middle east since we are married to it due to WWII. Sit back and let bygones be bygones? No agendas change, goals change and when people fail to adjust to that does it become very scary.

Denmark isn't a world power and has minimal influence in International affairs, its easy to be small and have little impact on others it allows you to be critical of those that can and do sadly enough embarrasment

USA is a large country but if you look into donation per capita US is far from the biggest doner

Capt_Fantastic
I think the point is still valid. Technically saying something is one thing. However, when you know full well that an entire nation (and planet beyond that) is operating under the assumption of the implication, why wait three years to call that assumption into question? Bush and company knew full well what they were doing and implying. The only reason they are denying it now is for political reasons. Political reasons that shouldn't be slightly considered when one takes into account the lives of both American and non-American soldiers that have died in this political/economic cluster-fu*k.

Perhaps but at the end of the day that doesn't matter to me, I do realize if the US lowers its total amount the UN will have budgetary problems.
Just sounds to me if they don't like what the biggest spender has to say they should downsize or find income from other participants.


And you are right Capt, I am not a rah rah rah Bush kinda guy however I can only hope (since I cannot read minds) that one of the major intentions was to take the war to someone elses backyard and not to keep it in the USA. LOL now try selling that to John Q Public in the USAsmile

So what? If Japan would lower their amo9unt the UN would have problems as well. Same for Germany, France, Italy and Great Britain. I really don't know what financing the UN has to do with anything.
