Bush Says Kerry Criticisms on Iraq Threaten Effort

In Bangor, Bush blasted recent charges by Kerry that the Iraq war had made America less secure, and he said they amounted to a preference by the Democrat for the dictatorship of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).

"You cannot lead the war on terror if you wilt when times are tough," Bush said in front of a flag-draped airport hangar. "You cannot expect the Iraqi people to stand up and do the hard work of democracy if you are pessimistic about their abilities. You cannot expect the Iraqi people to do the hard work if you say that they'd be better off with Saddam Hussein in power.

"What kind of message does it send our troops, who are risking their lives and who see firsthand the mission is hard, but know the mission is critical to our success?" he said.

In a reference to the violence, he said, "We can grieve, but we will not waver."

Kerry has accused Bush of living in a "fantasy land" and failing to acknowledge problems in Iraq.

6. Suck it George.

You have not an ounce of shame,you miserable mound of shit. You are a vile basin of menstrual rags soaking in saliva and marinated with dandruff. Only a real mixture of semen, santorum, phlegm and J.B. Weld such as yourself could so callously and carelessly exploit the position our troops are in.

My hate for you is bottomless and will never die.

22. Bush Says Kerry Criticisms on Iraq Threaten Effort - uh huh.

Bush Says Kerry Criticisms on Iraq Threaten Effort - oh yeah, it's threatening *'s efforts all right -- to snow job the world.
God forbid we find out the truth! And we have, thanks to Keith Olbermann's Thursday show. The one where Keith played * and Allawi's sound bytes in the 'rose garden' :puke:, and then Keith proceeded to talk to a Newsweek reporter stationed in Iraq. He'd play the sound bytes to the reporter and then ask him if any of it was true. Betcha can't guess what the reporter said? OK, betcha can, cuz all of you probably saw it. I sat there grinning like the Cheshire cat. :)

Sorry * and Allawi - you've been busted. :evilgrin:

[robbedvoter]

23. Allawi joined his master in this too - which I found sinister

[Kierkegaard]

24. "BushBash says Kerry Giving Bush Dose of His Own Medicine"

Newsflash: we have no right to expect the Iraqis to do a goddam thing. YOU invaded THEM, assbag! We weren't invited. Next, he'll be saying they sent out a request form saying "Please, come attack us and force us to adopt democracy.'
