Bush: "..swaggering mediocrity...unimaginably ignorant..."
http://www.newsday.com/news/printedition/opinion/ny-vpay293983699sep26,0,113989.column?coll=ny-opinion-print



"As the world witnessed the bloodiest days of his Iraq occupation, Bush rose before the General Assembly and walked, as only he can walk, straight through the looking glass. "Freedom is finding a way in Iraq," the president said, even as militants separated the second American hostage from his head in as many days. Preceding Bush at the UN rostrum, Secretary General Kofi Annan had warned the world body "the rule of law is at risk around the world.'"

2. Not only that
Pakistan's leader said it was a bad mistake to invade Iraq. And Tony Blair said it was faulty intelligence on Iraq and now he is distancing him self from Bush. Several nations have pulled out of Iraq. He keeps saying how can Kerry be sure he can build a coalition?
Lets think about it maybe Kerry is a new face and Bush is the biggest liar on earth does that ring a bell why? And he has still to rationalize why it was justified to invade Iraq before Saudi Arabia.
Lets look at the links and the proof you tell me. The planes on 9-11 were packed with Saud citizens. And then to protect his oil partner buddies Bush makes a false claim to invade Iraq. Is it your guess why Kerry would be better for the job? We really shouldn't debate it.
Bush should be in jail right now there are several laws on the books
that prevent a president from abusing the office of the presidency.
They already impeached a democrat in California they are this close for impeachment on Tom Delay. WE ARE NOT PLAYING in this party no more. And I'm right in the middle have you ever heard the words I'm boudy bout it...

3. Kick - my sentiments exactly
<snip>

It was, however, Bush's towering lack of intellect that defined him. "That (Bush) coasted on his family name was understandable," said Yale frat brother Tom Wilner. "Lots of guys do that. But Georgie, as we called him then, has absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything. He wasn't interested in ideas or books or causes. He didn't travel; he didn't read the newspapers; he didn't watch the news ... How he got out of Yale without developing some interest in the world besides booze and sports stuns me."
