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

Something tells me that they haven't quite matched the power of our "offensive and defensive" means.........and anymore talk like that may call for a demonstration.

Oh come on..

You don't trust someone because of how their eyes are made?

It's superficial, meaningless.

And the rest of this stuff isn't even within the realm of reality.. "Might torture" "Beady eyes" "Worships satan"

Come on.. Do you blame people for not buying into this?

[go star go]

If you are serious that you fear Satan and Satanism then you weaken your case by making false accusations against a man that everyone, even his enemies (Teddy Kennedy), do not see as an evil man.

I don't care if they buy it or not.

Hmmmmm.......Saddam Hussein calls him 'stupid, arrogant, and irresponsible'. Iran calls him 'thirsty for human blood'. Am I the only one laughing?

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

........and if they aren't with us we should simply ignore them......if they want to leave their umbrellas at home during a rainstorm, they can do as they wish.

Now, lets debate Satan's left hand man please...

Okay........

[Jhoffa_]

Sure got quiet in here..

[He Rides A White Horse]

(crickets)

[He Rides A White Horse]

Don't force me support Satan's left hand man and it's all good.

...and just who is Satan's left hand man, and why?

Bears repeating:

Bush: "thirsty for human blood " - Iran
Bush: "stupid, arrogant and irresponsible" - Iraq
Bush: "The man is cracked!" -AMMON-CENTRIST

A man can be judged by the company he keeps. {smile}

AMMON-CENTRIST's posts always have a tinge of red-faced hysteria. I see that a lot among the DemocraticUnderground "Panic Party" crowd.

That's an old argument. There's no evidence the Germans had designs on the territory of the U.S. You've just been well-manipulated by the System. More evidence of that: notice how every time there is a war, they always say that we are fighting another "Hitler" and that if we do nothing, soon there will be foreign armies on our doorstep after every other country falls like a domino. I laugh because the American people buy that line every time, with Iraq, with Serbia, and on and on.

If one reads Mein Kampf, it is true that there really isn't much evidence to support the assertion that Hitler intended to eventually conquer America.

The policy of Lebensraum was directed towards eastern Europe and the Soviet Union; Hitler declares over and over again that Germany's destiny was to the east.

Hitler in "quotes", or Hitler et al..........that is a different story altogether.........

If people like you were in charge in 1941 we'd be writing in German.

Perhaps German may not be the language; however Hitler is somebody who most certainly would have supported any enemy of the United States.

As a matter of fact, he did.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

There's no evidence the Germans had designs on the territory of the U.S.

Then why they designing intercontinental range ballistic missiles, meant to have nuclear warheads, and this before the US had even entered WWII. (see the book V-2 by Walter Dornberger, military commander of the Peenemunde rocket design facility, and Werner von Braun's boss).

Today, many European states are like pyramids stood on their heads. Their European area is absurbly small in comparison to the weight of colonies, foreign trade, etc. We may say: summit in Europe, base in the whole world; contrasting with the American Union which possesses its base in its own continent and touches the rest of the earth only with its summit. And from this comes the immense inner strength of this state and the weakness of most European colonial powers.
