Free nations don't use weapons of mass destruction....
GW: "See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."—Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 3, 2003

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, agent orange, mines, millions killed, Daisy cutters, millions of tons of biological weapons in Oregon dump, thousands of nuclear warheads, depleted uranium, psyops, thousands of tons of chemical weapons, white phosphorous in Fallujah, napalm in Vietnam, Nerve gas near Cambodia, little Georgie Porgie better study up on his history.

He might want to start with recent history so he can retract his inane comments.

6. These peoples' propensity for believing they can hoodwink enough
people in order to make their actions seem right and just is simply amazing.

They are charlatans, carnies, flimflam artists, con men, used car salesmen, deluders, swindlers, cheats... how many even think about this... how fortunate for the sheeple that the national memory is not much more than 6 weeks in length.... pity. Looks to me like the Russians don't forget as well as we do... shame on them.

But of course Neil is no idiot. He first entered the public eye due to a sweet deal he pulled during the Reagan-Bush years. As a director of a Colorado savings-and-loan bank, he steered $100 million of homeowners' savings to his own business partners - without telling his fellow directors of the personal connection. The partners defaulted, and Bush, using his family links to Argentine strongman Carlos Menem, tried to hide the scam in a bait-and-switch south of the border, as the Austin Chronicle reports. When the feds finally caught up with him in 1990, Bush had cost American taxpayers $1.3 billion in bailouts to cover his mismanagement. As the son of the sitting president, Neil could not possibly go to jail for stealing $100 million; the high-born don't do hard time. No, he was merely fined $50,000 and banned from all banking activities. Naturally, Neil didn't pay his own fine; fatcat Republican fundraisers covered it for him.

4. There's so much to choose from, but how about his truly insane remark;
"We gave a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in. And, therefore, after a reasonable request, we decided to remove him from power,"


Even freeping rightwignnuts gotta admit this is one insane remark.

7. Too bad "he" wasn't included in the "we". Just a pawn, just a sorry
little pawn in the scheme of things....

5. The key statement is 'Free nations don't attack each other'
but if you're not a 'free' nation, then anything goes.
