Evil Empire’s War Talk

WASHINGTON: North Korea yesterday blustered that it was on the brink of war with the US after President George W. Bush renewed his attacks on the "axis of evil" of so-called rogue states.

Mr Bush again labelled Iran, Iraq and North Korea the world's most dangerous regimes, warning they could face US action and prompting speculation about where the war on terror would lead after Afghanistan.

His warning, raised first in his State of the Nation address on Tuesday, drew an angry reaction from Muslim countries throughout the Middle East. But the most blunt message response came from North Korea. A spokesman for strongman Kim Jong Il said the nation was ready for war and had been wise to develop "powerful offensive and defensive means". We are sharply watching the disturbing moves of the United States that have pushed the situation to the brink of war," the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

As the secretive communist regime's propaganda machine went into overdrive, North Korean state media said US warplanes had carried out scores of reconnaissance flights in recent weeks in preparation for an attack. The spokesman said Mr Bush's speech was "little short of declaring a war".

Undaunted by the strength of the reaction in the Middle East to his speech, Mr Bush reiterated his accusations against the three countries and warned that Washington was ready to act. He said all three nations were developing weapons of mass destruction. "They need to know our intention is to hold them accountable and the rest of the world needs to be with us, because these weapons can be pointed at them as easily as at us," he said. Iran, which Washington describes as the main state sponsor of terror ism, called Mr Bush -thirsty for human blood", while the Iraqi regime of Sad Hussein branded him "stupid, arrogant and irresponsible".

Former secretary o state Madeleine Albrigh also condemned the "axis of evil" speech, calling it "big mistake". She said many in the international community believed the US h "lost its mind" because of the way Mr Bush handled foreign policy. "I think it was a big mistake to lump those three countries together," she said. "They are very different from each other." That warning risked alienating foreign allies she said. We know that they are (already) not supportive of what we are doing in lraq or Iran or North Korea, so I don't know what the value is." But US officials said there were no plans for, any military action against the three countries. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the US was not about to open three more fronts in the war against terror now centred on Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, in New York, US Secretary of State Colin Powell yesterday urged world leaders to crush the cause of terrorism by stamping out poverty. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Mr Powell said' We have to go after poverty, we have to go after despair." AFP

Hey Crapbird, you are a moron. Face the fact. I didn't say anything about nukeing anybody, you did. I also didn't say anything about people dying being a glorious thing either.

It's been known for a long time that NK supports terrorism and is Anti-American. NK starves they're people to make war toys and they have a nut ball for a leader, (Must be one of your relatives).

I'm sure you'd rather see Americans here die before we do anything to defend ourselves.

Time will tell! Mobilization has been an issue for over a decade. I heard of massive problems mobilizing troops for the afghan adventure. And please, discount my first hand experience. But hey, hope you're right. Blackbird.

I will not argue that FDR was a liberal scum and I won't even argue that he may have goated Japan BUT he DID NOT pilot any of their planes nor any of their ships. Blaming anyone BUT the Japanese for the attack is like saying that Charles Manson wasn't responsible for his crimes because he had a bad childhood OR especially ... blaming America for WTC ... like you're doing. You are NO conservative ... you spew crap that is usually (and erroneously) associated to hardcore Libertarians. But people like that and like you are to the Libertarian party what David Duke is to Republicans. So ... do us ALL a favor and take your idiotic paraniod conspirity theories and stick em where the sun don't shine.

Listen up yall, Bush had no right pointing his finger at nations and calling them the "Axis of Evil". He has NO authority to say such a thing. I have had it with "Satan power filled" presidents proclaiming their "god" of the earth.

Now, lets review our “illuminist” president...shall we?

1. The man is a right wing "illuminist". Notice, I have not used the word "conservative". He is part of Skull and Bones a.k.a. the Brotherhood of Death. He is part of an organization that worships Satan. I bet he still worship his evil “god”!

2. He uses Hegelian Dialectic tactics to increase government power. Not even Clinton increased government like Bush. Bush federalizes churches, charity, volunteerism, air security, giving tax breaks to "victims", wants citizens to snoop on other citizens, and if you all are not careful, he might federalize (militarize) the civilian world.

3. His homey Ashcroft thinks he has the God-given…oopps, I mean… Satan-given right to read your mail, watch you over the Internet, and if your not careful, he might jail you and use torture tactics on you if you say anything bad about the government. Both Bush and Ashcroft have that satanic beady little eye look to them, which would make you hit the deck.

4. Finally, Bush’s Compassionate Conservatism is nothing more than Hitler Nazism. I read somewhere that Hitler was part of the same Skull and Bones crew that the Bush Family was part of. Bush should come clean and admit he is a die-hard fan, worshipper, and Honors student of Hitler’s Nazism.

Now what yall got to say???

Listen up. I'm Satan and Bush is not one of my disciples. Got it. Now stop drinking so much. The U.S. is done with these two bit freaks all over the world and their nonsense. We intend to stomp a mudhole in their asses and there is not a damn thing they can do about it.

Mr. Powell, Osama has billions of dollars yet he bombed the World Trade center. Now try another leftist propaganda trick on me.

Somebody let me know when they find a Muslim who isn't angry. Now there's a story.

He "found God" a couple of weeks before 9/11, IIRC, and was foaming at the mouth about how America was Babylon and he couldn't love her anymore. Doesn't surprise me a bit that the freak now thinks Bush is the Devil.
