Bush: "We actually misnamed the War On Terror."

[Paragon]

"We actually misnamed the War on Terror. It ought to be the Struggle Against Ideological Extremists Who Do Not Believe in Free Societies Who Happen to Use Terror as a Weapon To Try To Shape The Conscience Of The Free World."

Yup - he really said that. - P.

1. That makes for a heck of an acronym

[BlueEyedSon]

6. SAIEWDNBIFSWHTUTAAWTTTSTCOTFW

:evilgrin:

[Canuckistanian]

26. And so easy to remember!

Just like "Weapons of Mass Destruction Program Related Activities"!, or "WOMDPRA"

[GiovanniC]

2. In Other Words

A war on the Bush administration?

Why would the Bush administration declare war on itself?

[Fenris]

3. Why does he want to declare war on the Republican Party?

"Ideological Extremists Who Do Not Believe in Free Societies Who Happen to Use Terror as a Weapon To Try To Shape The Conscience Of The Free World" - that's the bloody party platform!

[soothsayer]

4. Free societies who happen to use terror as a weapon. Is that us? n/t

[Skip Intro]

5. SAIEWDNBFSWHUTWTTTSTCOTFW

Here's another one - WPE: worst president ever

what a dopey f**k

[Ducks In A Row]

7. SBush names things just like Zoolander

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. BWWWWAAAAHAHAHAAAAHAAA!

"The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Who Want to do Other Stuff Good, Too."

[Sweet Freedom]

8. If that was the name

wouldn't * have to declare war upon himself?

[napi21]

9. Did you hear how he f'ed it up when he tried to say it?

I laughed! He couldn't even get the damn statement started.

WHAT A JOKE!

[foslrock]

10. You mean the code name...

[Paragon]

13. There's audio?

Oooh, can't wait.

[MercutioATC]

11. Oh, yeah. He didn't read THAT off a teleprompter...

Still, I'm impressed. He's using 5-syllable words now.

[DarkPhenyx]

12. He's leaving open the option that "terror as a weapon"...

...which people who can actually speak the language call "Terrorism", can be used by those countries and groups we sanction and support. We'd only support those who promote freedom and democracy you know, so it's only fair we give them any weapon they need to win.

[zbdent]

14. Honest - it's on www.whitehouse.gov

(not the goof site, but the real thing).

In the search area, just type in the word misnamed.

Here's the link: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040806-1.html

Sure as heck didn't make a great soundbite. I can just see him trying to say that double mouthful with all the marbles that have leaked from his brain into his mouth.

[Paragon]

16. He actually said this again:

From your link:

"And so one of the most important initiatives of this administration was to challenge the soft bigotry of low expectations. You know what I mean by that. If you lower the bar, guess what happens -- you get lousy results."

Obviously, Georgie was off drinking the day they taught irony at Yale.

[tomfodw]

23. And everything else, too...

[zbdent]

24. Wow, "If you lower the bar, guess what happens - -"

"you get lousy results."

Meaning, umm, him?

You lower the bar, Bush trips over it while drunk. Blames it on the pretzels.

[PurityOfEssence]

15. The War Against Everybody I Don't Like

I am the President, and I get to do anything I like. I don't have to explain, justify or apologize about anything.

Watch it, loser: if your cell phone goes off in my presence, I'll send in Boykin and the Godsquad.

[arwalden]

17. You're Kidding, Right? Nobody Is THAT Stupid, Right?

[underpants]

18. It really doesn't roll off the tongue does it?

W forgets the frist rule of the conservative movement -Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS).

That is too funny.

[fob]

25. The FRIST rule - very subtle dig underpants

Actually there is a whole litany of books that mirror the"...For Dummies" series that simplifies complex tasks for so many smart yet time challenged Americans these days. It is the "... By Dummies" series and it seeks to put simple tasks into even simpler language for all those idiots out there that are incurious and time challenged. The advantage of this series it is written for actual dummies BY dummies. So bush* clearly has read "How to Make Any Simple Idea Into an Even Simpler Acronym That Makes Your Point Come Across More Clearly By Dummies". Or as it's known by those idiots that read it, "A How To Book". Chapter 2 is devoted to K.I.S.S.

[sangh0]

22. Clue

Nobody Is THAT Stupid, Right?"

Like my momma always said "You can only be so smart, but stupid knows no bounds"

[Catfight]

20. Is he talking about George Bush's Amerika?

[Brotherjohn]

21. It's that "Bargaining" stage again. (3rd in the 5 stages of grief/loss)

Honest to God, I think he's trying to put a happy face on the War on Terror. He's trying to say "See, it's not so scary! WE'RE the good guys, THEY are the bad guys!"

"Really! I'm still a compassionate conservative!"

[genius]

27. It should be re-named "The war against freedom."

[EndElectoral]

28. I just call it the War of Fear...What an idiot the man is
