Bush: If I Were Iraqi, I’d Be Saying, ‘God, I Love Freedom’ This afternoon, President Bush held a joint press conference with French President Nicholas Sarkozy. A reporter asked Bush where he stood “on Iraq and your domestic debate on Iraq,” and whether he had a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops. In response, Bush insisted that “freedom’s happening” and Iraq isn’t in a “quagmire”: I don’t — you know quagmire is an interesting word. If you lived in Iraq and had lived under a tyranny, you’d be saying: God, I love freedom, because that’s what’s happened. And there are killers and radicals and murderers who kill the innocent to stop the advance of freedom. But freedom’s happening in Iraq. And we’re making progress. Watch it: In June, Gen. David Petraeus said that U.S. troops had been in Iraq “long enough to become liberators again,” echoing Vice President Cheney’s infamous pre-war prediction that the United States would “be greeted as liberators.” Almost five years, 3857 U.S. troop deaths, and more than 76,000 Iraqi civilian deaths later, Bush can’t figure out why Iraqis aren’t jumping around rejoicing in their freedom. (Maybe it’s because they’ve all left the country.) Digg It!

He must be playing "Heroin Hero" on his PC.
That's great, Dumbya. Why don't you move to the Iraqi paradise that you helped to create?
The Iraqis do have freedom, in the sense the neocons use the word. Their economy isn't run by their government. The administration uses the word as loosely as it uses the word "torture."
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
naaah hes already building a mansion in paraguay i believe to move to once he leaves office wich would make him the first president in history to move out of country after he leaves offive if i recall correctly . kinda make you wonder if he knows something about whats going to happen in america after the 2008 elections
Fox News Channel is the television version of Free Republic
i wish we could do a bombard the white house with those images campaign.
Damn it---won't someone up the meds on this blathering idiot!
George must be snorting Vicodin is all I can assume.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" you know, these pictures should be on billboards, so everyone driving down the freeway in their suv bitching about the price of gas can wake up from their "proud to be an american" coma and see the results of mindless patriotism. let them see it on their way to church and wonder if god really told bush this was the thing to do. let their kids see if on their way to school and think about it as they're being forced to pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth and maybe wonder what exactly it stands for. it's time americans saw the faces of the "insurgents" whose death and destruction they rabidly cheer.
right on, kiki. i felt your emotion on that one.
Smirk's building his case for an insanity plea.

thanks :) it just drives me crazy. we're the only ones in the world who are shielded from this and we're the ones who caused it.
...wake up from their "proud to be an american" coma... After 9/11, millions of people bought plastic U.S. flags to stick on their cars to show everyone how patriotic they were. Those flags ranged in price from $3 to $5. They should've put that money in an envelope and sent it to a charity where it would've actually done some good.
Makes as much sense as anything else I read in the national news.
