Bush to stress humanitarian issues at U.N. (Won't "dwell" on Iraq)


NEW YORK - President Bush, trying to soften his image overseas as a heavy-handed unilateralist, is using his annual address to the United Nations to offer up a brighter vision of a planet with less hunger, disease and oppression.

Exactly six weeks before Election Day, Bush is equally concerned about his audience at home. In his speech Tuesday before the world body, Bush was making a firm defense of his decision to invade Iraq, although violence is surging and U.S.. casualties mounting 17 months after the president declared major combat operations over.

But unlike his speech to the United Nations last year, Bush was not devoting the majority of his 35-minute address to Iraq and terrorism. His aim is to persuade U.S. voters and a skeptical global audience that there is more to his foreign policy than grim warnings about terror and aggressive use of U.S military force.

His message is that the world is a better place thanks to his policies, and will get better still if nations band together to cooperate with his initiatives.

Do you believe this "SHITHEAD". We have soldiers dying daily in Iraq and he IGNORES the opportunity to request cooperation to help solve THIS MESS.

THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR HEADLINE...

2. And the US will not support the effort against global poverty

just recently addressed by the UN. * thinks it is an economic issue not a needs issue. No dumbf*ck it is a distribution issue.... greedy corporate pigs refuse to share without a profit that is the problem.

7. Well if my name was Osama Bin Laden....

I'd say thank you for making me safer by diverting many resources and troops to Iraq. My Saudi friends will reward you handsomely.

Also thank you for giving us the opportunity to kill 1000 Americans here in our own backyard, it is so much easier than having to come to your country.

And finally thank you for destabilizing Iraq and making the Iraqi people angrier as the days go by, recruitment is now a breeze. You can kill as many terrorists as you like, we'll make more, tomorrow.

He's got humans stressed, in general.

13. Mess?...What mess in Iraq ? - W for Wrong.

Bush optimistic about Iraq despite intelligence report (in other words, when you lack it why would you listen to an intelligence report)
'Freedom is on the march' (in other words, national guard get ready to deploy)

Freedom isn't free, but Osama Bin Laden still is....

Nov. 2nd is too far away.
