George Bush, Diplomat (Ahmadinejad makes Bush look good - Barf Alert)

[Khashayar]

The civilized world is now united against Iran. Can the American president exploit the opportunity?

After Eugene “Bull” Connor, the sheriff of Birmingham, Ala., turned dogs and fire hoses on black protesters in May, 1963, John F. Kennedy observed that “the Civil Rights movement should thank God for Bull Connor. He's helped it as much as Abraham Lincoln.” It was the perfect putdown. Connor had been a hero to Southern bigots. JFK, with one withering remark, condemned him to that most ignoble form of immortality for a Southerner. He would forever be remembered as the butt of a Yankee joke.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may someday qualify for a similar kind of historical ignominy among his own countrymen. Iran's president is probably the last one to realize it, but the joke is on him. Though he is rabidly anti-American, Ahmadinejad has done more to help the Great Satan than anyone since the fellow Iranian he most despises—that great toady of Washington, the Shah.

In fact, Ahmadinejad, who has piled idiocy upon idiocy in a series of offensive remarks that have alarmed the world, has achieved a truly amazing feat. He has made George W. Bush look like a statesman. Since Ahmadinejad has embraced his role as this era’s Muammar Kaddafi, the Bush administration mustered international unity against Iran of the kind that hasn’t been seen since right after September 11.

And now this broad diplomatic front will be put to the test. On Tuesday, the Iranians brazenly removed what nuclear expert David Albright calls the “last major technical hurdle” to a nuclear bomb-breaking the seals on a 164-centrifuge cascade that will allow them to master the process of enriching uranium to bomb-grade purity.

NEWSWEEK has learned that Washington, with likely support from Britain, France and Germany, has called

The democrats have been dead silent about Iran.

"In fact, Ahmadinejad, who has piled idiocy upon idiocy in a series of offensive remarks that have alarmed the world, has achieved a truly amazing feat. He has made George W. Bush look like a statesman."


This from the fake Koran-flushed-down-the-toilet-Newsweek, that cost many innocent lives to be lost from riots in the Middle East, that were sparked by that bogus news story.

Newsweek has blood on their hands while President Bush has brought democracy and human rights to 50 million people in the Middle East, and Iran is probably next.

[endthematrix]

Yep. The author (who BTW looks like:

) seems to think Iran has WMD and nuke capabilities. Why? Isn't it just a "trumped-up threat" like he mention about Iraq.

The author also uses the MSM trick of playing both arguments. Bush is supposedly Hitler reincarnate for preemption invasions to protect America. But anticipating his inability to strike against Iran, they pounce on this as failure. Bad Santa fails to mention the cooperation of Libya...and Pakistan to an extent. They had a chance to say no to US involvement.

The author should note it has taken thousands of American lives lost in a flash to get the Western civilization mobilized. A short decade ago we could have buried our heads in the sand. Thank goodness our elected leader took it upon our nation to clean up the mess of failed foreign policy and take the fight to our enemy. Europe is alarmed. Not from some Mullah's ranting, but time is short and the stakes are high.

"He has made George W. Bush look like a statesman."

George Bush IS a statesman.

[Bogie]

Actually, they all are.

[MNJohnnie]

Yeah, like we should waste any time or bandwidth on an article from "Flush the Koran" Newsweak. Until Newsweak publicly apologizes to the families of those American Military personal who died due to Newsweak willing propagandizing for Al Qeda, anything they say is just so much meaningless babble. They have ZERO credibility as a serious source of information.
