Bush speech feared as more war talk

New York Daily News ^ | 1/22/05 | KENNETH R. BAZINET

[Waco]

Bin Laddin's "war speech",,,,,,,anybody? Does he get a pass? Ever hear of him?

[7.62 x 51mm]

"The neo-cons have lost in Iraq, but ..."

They did? Last I heard, they were winning, putz.

[dawn53]

thinly veiled threats

Hmmm.

I listened to that speech and I didn't think there was anything "thin" or "veiled" about the threats.

[Cobra64]

These clowns that accuse America as "losing" really twists my shorts. If I were Rummy, I'd use some big guns... serious ordnance. Where's my Raptor. B52s, fuel up. Good to see the 130s are checked for take-off.

[kattracks]

Hey, the Eurotwits don't know anything but appeasement.

[kenth]

"European and Mideast officials"

Does anything more really need to be said?

[hershey]

We're damned if we do and damned if we don't (protect everyone and in our spare time, solve all their problems including preventing natural disasters and rebuilding entire countries.)

"That will not go well in the Middle East and Muslim regions," added Abukhalil, author of the book "The Battle for Saudi Arabia: Royalty, Fundamentalism, and Global Power."

Ahhhh....NO YOU DON'T. I'd fight any of those goons in the Middle East over what George Bush said in his speech. Muslims aren't going to get their way while Bush is in office. Put that in their collective hat and let them smoke it.

[Dallas59]

....Or turban or whatever it is they wear while running around that dead rock in Yecca.

[shubi]

Europe is being undermined by Arab money and sedition by muslims they have allowed, unwisely, in their midst.

We should take heed from this and act accordingly. We cannot allow the Trojan Horse of Islam to corrupt us.

running around that dead rock in Yecca

ie STINK FEST '05

[prairiebreeze]

Even a senior member of the Republican foreign-policy establishment

Don't you love these un-named sources. Brent Scowcroft perhaps?

[randita]

European and Mideast officials feared yesterday that President Bush's inaugural address left open a possibility of more costly American military action.

Good. That means the speech got the desired message across.

[yoe]

The President said in very simple words..."We will not appease..." and even more simple..."United Nations, clean up your act"

If this scares some then so be it!

[Coldwater Creek]

It frightens me far more to think that George Bush would be a psssive president.

[ml1954]

European and Mideast officials feared yesterday that President Bush's inaugural address left open a possibility of more costly American military action.

Good. We want them to wonder what we might do next. That means our enemies will be wondering too. Unpredictability is a valuable weapon in war.

"Some foreign officials charged that Bush's "liberty" speech went overboard on thinly veiled threats to use force to promote freedom abroad. ... Even a senior member of the Republican foreign-policy establishment took a dim view of Bush's initiative, calling it idealistic but unworkable."

OK, I admit, my short term memory ain't what it used to be, however I specifically recall NOBODY mocking JFK or determining it 'idealistic but unworkable' when he said,

"We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

Or when he said.....

"... But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

Hmm now what's the difference??
Wait, JFK was a Democrat. I think I see now..... (/s)

[TUX]

The sweet breath of FREEDOM blowing in the wind.

That the people in the dark corners catch a whiff. The response would be like the smell of Moms apple pie...irresistible.
