Bush Told of Iraq Transfer in Hand-Written Note

[Khephra]

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - White House national security adviser Condoleezza Rice Monday informed President Bush in a handwritten note of the transfer of authority in Baghdad, prompting Bush to scribble back: "Let freedom reign."

"Mr. President, Iraq is sovereign. Letter was passed from (U.S. administrator Paul) Bremer at 10:26 a.m. Iraq time -- Condi," she wrote, according to copies of the note distributed by the White House.

1. let propaganda rain.

[oneighty]

10. And the Eagle Soar

180

[damnraddem]

24. Yeah, I bet that the Eagle ...

is sore.

[JoeRunion]

43. This is the best thing we could do now

Gen Clark says transferring power is the right thing to do. I am especially pleased that lives were probably saved by doing it early.
Clark also thought it was great getting NATO involvement, though it should have been done earlier.
So I think this is making the best of a bad situation.

[Ripley]

47. Question...

1. What lives were saved? Do you honestly think the killing is over in Iraq?
2. What exactly is NATO's involvement? What are they doing? (not just words please...actions)
3. What best of the bad situation are we making....by handing over control 2 days early. That is absurd.

I guess you're a Clark supporter, but why do we care what he thinks now, he isn't running for President.

[JoeRunion]

57. Here are the answers....So what would you do?

1. Lives were probably saved because of the likely prevention of a big June 30 attack.

2. NATO is in the process of being trained for security and other duties in Iraq

3. This is covered in point 1. We have surprised the insurgents for a change. By making the best of a bad situation, I mean we are doing so by turning over the reins of power in Iraq. If you don't like this idea, what is your alternative? Stay in control and give the insurgents even more anti-American fuel? Or just cut and run like we did in Viet Nam? Now that we are in Iraq, tell us what your solution would be if you don't like this one.

[jdj]

56. It really said "Let's go!! Run!!!!!"

[colonel odis]

2. and did you know that bush has saddam's pistols

in the white house?

and on his secret thanksgiving mission, a british airways jet recognized air force one?

this administration lies when the truth sounds better.

[northzax]

41. the big question...

since the President cannot recieve a gift valued at more than $50 from anyone who works for him (say a soldier) those pistols belong to the White House, not Chimpy, what bet he takes them with him?

[tom_paine]

3. Yep. Standard Totalitarian Pravda. It's the same here as it is in China

or the Old Soviet Union, or Nazi Germany, or Marcos' Phillipines...

Yawn.

Whatever the story is supposed to be, it's it an utter fabrication, fine-tuned to give the maximum impact by Bushevik Imperial Psychometrists and Psychomanipulators...

[PaDUer]

27. the note....

[louis-t]

30. Save the note, find other shrub scribbles

compare to see if * really wrote this. Hey, I'm naturally suspicious, allright?

[PaDUer]

32. sample of * handwriting

http://handwritinguniversity.com/newslettersamples/candidates/gbush/

[louis-t]

33. Looks like his...

I'd love to have a handwriting expert analyze his writing to see what kind of perverted things he hides in there. What's with the capital D in the middle of a word? Didn't do that in the sample piece.

[mike1963]

37. The sig looks like "Gyar Ze"

:eyes:

[nolabels]

49. Nearest I can come up with the the guy is some kind cooked lamb chop

At least that's what the cache on the semi- oracle of Google said

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:3egC0Gw2R7gJ:www.lamrim.org.uk/download/lama_chopa.htm+Gyar+Ze+%2B+person&hl=en

[Kinkistyle]

52. Actually its Klingon. "Gpak Ze".

Its pronounced "G-Pach Zech". It means "Drug-Addled Primate in a man-suit".

[PassingFair]

45. Looks to me...

Like the lower case "g" s are different animals.

[Ivan Zero]

34. It looks like it says "Let freedom Reagan". n/t

[Kinkistyle]

46. That letter is such GROANINGLY lame stunt prop.

I can just see those dorks beaming proudly as they are writing and giggling with evil glee, as if this hand-over really made a difference. As if even this dumb letter isn't also a huge stunt planned ages ago.

[Kurovski]

50. Well, it is kinda funny

especially the "Iraq is sovereign" part.

[Judi Lynn]

53. Maybe they'll pass around a handkerchief he blew his beezer on. n/t

[pinniped]

54. Will this letter be in the Smithsonian?

Can this con-game get any more pathetic than this?

I think * wiped his a$$ with it.

[qanda]

4. They had no trouble releasing this paper

Now show us the energy papers!

[llmart]

5. What a load of crap!

Propaganda at it's best. This freakin' idiot doesn't know how to write.

[KDLarsen]

6. So that's one note he bothers reading..

.. or did the WH have to dumb it down/make a short resume of it for * to understand it?

[Emboldened Chimp]

7. Come on, now...

you know he spelled it 'rain'.

[kskiska]

8. I have to wonder

if it was spelled correctly.

[Kurovski]

48. Condi dotted it faintly for George to copy over.

Just like when we learned how to write our ABC's in first grade!

[Tight_rope]

9. What an insult to MLK that that comment would come outta his mouth!

MLK would definately have disapproved of Bush and if he were alive would be insulted that Bush was mocking such a profound quote.

Bush is classless. He has no sense of originality. Always trying quoting what many proud and stately people have said in the pass. And fucking it up all the while, either by misquoting them or using them out of context.

DUBYA YOU SUCK!

[Rose Siding]

11. Isn't it 'let freedom ring'?

Did MLK say 'reign'?

[Tight_rope]

31. Yes...MLK said "Let Freedom Ring!

Hence my comment, "Bush is classless. He has no sense of originality. Always trying quoting what many proud and stately people have said in the pass. And fucking it up all the while, either by misquoting them or using them out of context.

[Eurobabe]

42. what an idiot, that boyking! let freedom REIGN

he has too much of that divine right shit on his addled brain.

[peacetalksforall]

38. You're so hard on a person who obviously missed his history classes.

[Skittles]

12. f***ing nonsense

nt

[BootinUp]

13. Reminds me of the story about Bush's Lump in the bed poem

fabrication for the masses.

[daleo]

14. Is this supposed to impress people?

I don't get it. They couldn't look more slap-dash and amateurish if they tried.

[burrowowl]

15. Bu$h didn't know

until he gets a NOTE!
Boy, is he kept out of the loop!

[Cocoa]

16. copies soon to be available

for sale at the Bush campaign site.

[progressivebydesign]

17. BULLSHIT ALERT!!

"Let freedom reign???". Does he mean Let freedom ring? WTF does he mean? He can't spell reign. That is so fucking dumb.

[kysrsoze]

36. Let freedom.....er......soveREIGN?

He's an idiot.

[SOS]

40. He's attempting to quote

the last line in the first verse of "My Country Tis of Thee".

He got 2 out of 3 words correct. Not bad for him.

[Bluebear]

18. What color crayon did he use to scribble back?

[Eye and Monkey]

21. Sort of a pale tan.

Way back when, there used to be a crayon color called "flesh" - it was sort of a pale tan color. That's what Dubble always uses - just another little thing he does to try to bring back "them good-ol' days".

[0007]

19. .....and then junior passed his historical document to Colin Powell

Colin then handed the document to Rumsfeld to fondle...

[fryguy]

20. god...talk about a staged event.....

[Bluebear]

22. LOL "Let Freedom Reign", skinhead Nazi hate song!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1881308

Props to Lex for this catch!

[prolesunited]

26. Probably as much of a mistake

as saying we were on a "crusade" in Iraq — just another message to their constituency.

[Tight_rope]

44. Let's not forget that Bush is a proud "C" student! ....n't

[fob]

28. What "Letter" was passed that condi is referring to?

Isn't that cute that condi and her husb-, er, uh, bush* can exchange notes? I wonder if this was between periods or maybe done surreptitiously in grammar class.

[cthrumatrix]

23. actually is was in "pictures" because * can't read

[TOhioLiberal]

55. Like this?

drew it myself with MSpaint

[Octafish]

25. He tore himself away from "My Pet Goat" to scribble THAT?

[Nashyra]

29. Too bad that the idiot could not have

responded as quickly when he found out that a plane had hit the WTC let alone wait for 7 min after the second one hit. Oh well guess he is just more in tune to the events in I raq than he was in his own country.

[LSK]

35. he knows how to read?!?!?!?

When did this happen? How come FAUX isnt going mad reporting this?

[peacetalksforall]

39. On Fox this morning they said that Blair and Bush knew before hand...

but Rumsfeld and two others (that I think are at the meeting) didn't know.

Now, is that believable - Rumsfeld didn't know. It was all a secret. Congratulations for not telling anyone, Sir.

[Kurovski]

51. I hope Colin wasn't left out of the loop again

He's gonna get a complex.
