David Byrne criticises Bush, Cheney
Indo-Asian News Service ^ | 01/30/07

Posted on 01/30/2007 1:38:15 PM PST by presidio9

Rocker David Byrne has accused US President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for leading the country the same way the late Saddam Hussein led Iraq.

Byrne is stunned at the Iraq war and is vehemently against it, said contactmusic.com. He said: 'It's like we are in shock. At least I am. The majority of Americans don't want to commit more troops, Congress doesn't want to commit more troops, but George and Dick do and by god they are gonna have it. And I thought, 'Can they just do this?' I thought only people like Saddam Hussein could do those kind of things.'

It just impresses me to no end that so many people are able to read the minds of every US citizen and know exactly what each one wsnts - they must be mind readers to be able to say so convincingly, that the majority of Americans want this or don't want that -

It must be an amazing talent to have. SO many liberals evidently are blessed with it.

Excuse me, I need to go throw up.

I'm beginning to wonder what the saturation point is for "Artists Criticizing the President"?

David, David, David - can the Commander-in-Chief order troops movements?
Um, yes, he can - can Congress cut off funding? - sure they can.
A smart guy like you should read the Constitution sometime, I mean, you've got a LOT of time on your hands lately.

Rocker David Byrne accused US President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for leading the country the same way the late Saddam Hussein led Iraq.

The President immediately dispatched secret police to arrest Byrne and take him to a secret prison outside Washington. After hours of torture Byrne was fed feet-first into an industrial shredder. The gory residue was then mailed to Byrnes surviving family members.

Don't let Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, or Kid Rock hear you say that.
