Bush: U.S. Troops Will Remain In Iraq Through The End Of My Presidency
At this morning’s press conference, President Bush said that U.S. troops would remain in Iraq through the end of his presidency. According to Bush, the question of whether U.S. troops will ever leave Iraq will be one for “future presidents.” Watch it:
Transcript:
REPORTER: Will there come a day, and I’m not asking you when — I’m not asking for a timetable — will there come a day when there will be no more American forces in Iraq?
BUSH: That, of course, is an objective, and that will be decided by future presidents and future governments of Iraq.
UPDATE: The AP has picked up the story.

Shorter Bush: “other people can clean up my mess”
gah.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:19 amAmerica–fasten your seatbelts for 3 more years of deaths and woundings courtesy of George W. Bush.
-GSD
By the way, Laura Ingraham is looking not so womanly as of late. Must be rankling the wingers, she looks like K.D. Lang now.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:21 amYet another reason to end his presidency early through impeachment!
March 21st, 2006 at 11:21 amlet’s shorthen his prsidency and impeach.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:22 amNaturally, since when has this President ever cleaned up his own mess? He’ll leave Iraq for the next President to deal with along with the busted economy, the record number of people living in poverty, and the environmental mess he’s created.
This guys a slacker from way back.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:22 amI watched part of this news conference this morning. He was incredibly aggressive with his words and body language. He disrespected Helen Thomas big time, but she can take it, and I just laughed. She knew when she asked her question she wasn’t going to get anything but a squirming, pissed off Georgie, and squirm he did. It was great.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:23 amSo much for the prediction that the “war” will last:
“Feb. 7, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, to U.S. troops in Aviano, Italy: “It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.”

March 21st, 2006 at 11:24 amThis just in from Captain Obvious:
Who else were those permanent military bases for?
March 21st, 2006 at 11:26 am“i will continue to make mistakes and not listen to the more intelligamagent.”
March 21st, 2006 at 11:26 amWords are cheap. Especially Bush’s words. They mean nothing, and it’s too bad but he is stuck with the President he is, and so are we.

March 21st, 2006 at 11:29 amI am simply speechless.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:29 am#10–anyone who thought we’d be building an Olympic-size swimming pool (see msnbc) for a bunch of olive-colored people have better drugs than I do. This is our new Gitmo, our new post WWII Germany, our new home for tens of thousands of troops forever.
I’m just stunned he was so candid about our length of stay. Let’s sit back and see if any of the news media even pick up on this…
March 21st, 2006 at 11:30 am#13 - classy. very classy.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:30 amMission Accomplished
March 21st, 2006 at 11:31 amWhen one of our children die for a lie, what do you get? A flag at the funeral.
What good is a flag in exchange for the life of a family member?
Is blood the price We The People get to pay for Halliburton, Bechtel, Kellogg Brown & Root’s glorious financial statements on Wall Street?
March 21st, 2006 at 11:32 amLook at the text banner under Bush: “Bill Lester the first black driver to compete in NASCAR”. A quiet & subliminal PR campaing showing how good are things for everybody under Bush…
March 21st, 2006 at 11:32 am13- There is a bit of irony in that, although I wouldn’t wish upon anyone, even someone as shrew-like as Ingraham.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:33 am[…] But the good news? Bush has no plans to withdraw troops durring his Presidency. That’s better left up to “some other President.” Its becoming harder and harder to think optomistically about the government for the next 2-3 years. […]
March 21st, 2006 at 11:34 am#13 - That’s uncalled for.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:35 amSeen at a peace rally and march over last weekend: ITMFA! [Impeach The Mother F***ing A**hole!]
From now on it’s ITMFA!
March 21st, 2006 at 11:36 amHey lets be optomists. Maybe Dumbya is suggesting that he does not plan on being president much longer. That would be consistent with his track record too.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:37 am“It’s my war! Mine, mine, mine, and you can’t take from me. Congress? Try and cut funding, heh heh. I’ll call ever’ one a ya cowards and traitors, just like that feller who got hisself blown up in Vietnam, heh heh.”
March 21st, 2006 at 11:38 amI need to start believing my ears. I heard him say that and thought…”I didn’t just hear him say what I thought I said, did I?”
March 21st, 2006 at 11:43 ammmmm … sultry,
Sorry, you’re wrong here. Laura Ingraham deserves everything she gets cancer-wise.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:44 amThe Dems in Congress need to do more to move impeachment hearings along.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:44 amJon Stewart said it best recently: ‘They work 24 hours a week, 7 days
a month…’
“#2 - Laura Ingraham has breast cancer - making fun of cancer patients is beneath contempt ”
Making fun of Laura Ingraham’s breast cancer is certainly appropriate. Maybe you don’t know just how hateful, dishonest and bitter a person Laura Ingraham is, but I do. Every bit of pain she experiences is pure justice.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:45 amIt is possible he was referring to future Presidents OF Iraq.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:46 amIs it me or does Bush always look confused? Is that what ignorance looks like?
March 21st, 2006 at 11:47 am[…] – Source […]
March 21st, 2006 at 11:48 amyesssssss!
March 21st, 2006 at 11:48 amerm…cancer is not a ‘punishment’ for those who ‘deserve’ it. Will you say that your [insert close female relative/friend] ‘deserves’ cancer if it strikes her?
March 21st, 2006 at 11:50 amOf course he doesn’t WANT to leave. The whole point of invading Iraq was to replace the bases we lost next door in Iran when the Shah was toppled in 1979.
But just as Russian subs now dock at the lovely state-of-the-art facilities we built in Cam Ranh Bay, Muqtada al-Sadr will enjoy his daily espresso from the machines he’ll confiscate from the Starbucks we’ve set up in the “super-bases”.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:50 am#25…. putting the humor aside, bush has to keep the “war” going. How can he justify spenidng $zillions of dollars on nothing. Withdrawing would be an admission of failure. While the entire sane world knows this “war” has nothing to do with terrorism, bush/cheney have made the “war” their primary political strategy for keeping Americans safe. Additionally, once the “war” ends, investigations of how the $zillions of dollars were spent are bound to take place. bush/cheney need to be clear of the political heat before that happens.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:51 amTechnically, I guess Chimpy means that troops will be staying almost to the end of January, 2009. Unless he’s expecting to be impeached this time next year? Which would mean the troops could home then, unless Deadeye puts down the whiskey and stops shooting people in the face… Or something.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:52 amW says, in his own words essentially, that he is determined to stay in Irag until he is removed from office. His incompetence means he is not capable of recognizing other’s incompetence. Therefore, we must impeach him to get rid of his corrupt administration and bring our troops home to protect them from harms-way. We cannot trust him to know what is that right actions to take.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:54 amAnother fine example of George in action. He can’t finish anything he has started. George Bush hasn’t a clue as to when his presidency will end. It could be anytime. One thing is for certain: It will end. The sooner, the better.
Somebody please console the poor man. He must be feeling alone these days. All of that power to wield, and yet, none at all. Must be a helpless, empty feeling.
Helen Thomas is disconcerting and unostentatious. I’d fear her too. George obviously does.
End the war in Iraq.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:56 am#27 and 29 -
you obviously have never seen anyone die of cancer. and I hope you never do. I have, however, and wouldn’t wish that fate on … well … even W.
it’s one thing to despise what someone says (Ann Coulter, KellyAnn Fitzpatrick, Laura Ingraham) - but to wish cancer upon them for their what they say/write … that turns my stomach.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:57 amthere is a plus to GWB’s statements. All of those college republicans will have time to finish up their studies, and join the army to fight in Iraq now.

2 words: lame duck.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:01 pmAlso he said:
“We are in a global war on terror and Iraq has been and will continue to be the central front in that war”.
Keep trying to get that pitch out Georgie - it’s a miss every time.

March 21st, 2006 at 12:05 pmWhat happened to your little peace rally? Its supporters promised thousands and thousands of people, yet only several hundred showed up. How could that be? Maybe there isn’t as much support as you think for impeachment, hmm. Also, how many years have U.S. troops been in South Korea and Germany? I don’t think anyone can tell you how long we will have a prescence in Iraq based on those facts.
He knows he is a complete failure. He is pleading, begging to be impeached to put him out of our misery.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:05 pmBasically, George is saying, “The buck stops there.”
March 21st, 2006 at 12:05 pmBush’s legacy insures that future presidents bear the burden of trying to balance the budget, pare down the ballooning trade deficit, clean up the environment, instill trust in government, and restore the good image of the U.S. around the world. I hope that can happen in my kids’ lifetime.
meaning, early ‘07, just after the midterm elections…
March 21st, 2006 at 12:06 pm344 - Unlike the hordes and hordes of people who showed up to support the impeachment of Pres. Clinton. . . . .
Oh, wait. There weren’t any crowds for that particular straw-man.
My pardon!
March 21st, 2006 at 12:07 pmThis is a president who can’t seem to either make up his mind or stop trying to change it constantly. I don’t think it should be up to a foreign government to tell us how long the U.S. troops should stay. By the time we make Dubya the lame duck, the real U.S. government will set the timetable to send our troops home and safe.
I still can’t believe we have the most stupidest man in the entire solar system as President. He’s just as stupid as President Logan on 24.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:08 pm#40
I’ll second that. My father-in-law was diagnosed with leukemia 6 years ago; he also has lymphoma. He is in his last days. Hasn’t had a chemo treatment since October because it is no longer having any effect on the cancer. Nobody deserves to go through what he’s going through now…not to mention family members.
Oh…and my mother-in-law was diagnosed with lymphoma a week after Thanksgiving. Talk about a double-whammy.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:08 pmLet go of the hate… Let the reichtwingers extol it’s virtue, not us. We have to be better. That’s how we will convince others to join us.
I don’t like Laura I. She’s just a pretty face Rovians put up to sell their mesage. Very much like how Gobbels used pretty German girls to show the “richeousness” of the Aryan “cause”. But in every other sense, she isn’t far enough removed from Ann Coulter to have any repect for her professionally & politically.
Yes I believe in karma, but none of us should gloat about others finding theirs sooner than others. We all will find our own, eventually.
Be nice! Be Tolerant of those who insist on being assholes. But don’t be quiet about telling them they are assholes. It’s our job boys & girls ( & since I’m speaking of progressives) and all those in-between.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:09 pm#44
Umm dude us troops aren’t getting shot at and blown up in Germany and south korea. the social and political situations are very different. Trying to compare troops stationed in those countries with whats going on in Iraq is like trying to compare apples to cats.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:09 pmIf Bush’s poll numbers take another hit, or if this comment causes a sh*tstorm on the talk circuit, he will probably soften or retract this statement, just like he did when he told Matt Lauer that the war on terror was not winnable in a conventional sense.
The very next day, Bush did a back flip and said “We absolutely can win this war and we will.”
I guess what he should have said was “We can win this war, and some future President will.”
March 21st, 2006 at 12:10 pmI say we all stop payin taxes, especially since there is nothing in the laws that says we have to pay taxes. The taxes are all volentary.
Therefore, since Congress will not do anything we can just take their money from them directly. Then again, they would probably just borrow more money to compensate.
Get ready for a draft, and I would love to see that because that would really cause a uproar.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:11 pm# 50 - I am so sorry to hear what your family is going through - that’s so awful, it’s beyond words. Please know that your fam is in my thoughts.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:12 pmAT LEAST HITLER DIDNT TELL JOKES ….
IMPEACH
RENDER TO GITMO
March 21st, 2006 at 12:12 pmBy the way, anyone who is on this board saying that Laura Ingraham or anyone else deserves cancer is a troll. Ignore them.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:13 pm44, thousands did show up. Youre not yet finished with your koolaid today, are you? 29% approval of the Chimpster’s handling of Iraq. Anyone against impeachment is a traitor to the Constitution and laws of the US.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:13 pm#55
Thanks…
March 21st, 2006 at 12:15 pmIMPEACH HIM NOW AND GET THE TROOPS OUT>>>>>>>>>>>>IM ANGRY RRRRRRR
March 21st, 2006 at 12:19 pm36- When you run on fear, the only fear you have is being exposed as a liar. I’d like to believe that there will be some justice for Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rummy, and the rest of the “war” criminals, but I have a bad feeling there will be no meaningful accounting of their crimes. I don’t have faith in either party to do what is right anymore- the GOP seem too partisan and venal; the Democrats, or at least their leadership, seem too afraid of offending the GOP base. Much like Iran/Contra, the S&L’s, the arming of Iraq, and so many other criminal policies in recent history, this will probably get pushed aside, or result in another whitewash cover up.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:19 pm#51 - Well said!
March 21st, 2006 at 12:25 pmwhat bush is really saying ….america will forever be in Iraq and will forever stomp on the Holy Ground of Islam this is the most disgraceful empty suit of a president .
Its about securing oil for the america oil companies nothing will get in the way of big oil profiteering off the back of the poor Iraqi’s……..
March 21st, 2006 at 12:26 pmI love that the right is parsing Bush’s statements. I thought this was supposed to be an administration of honesty and intregity? At this point clinton looks like a saint.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:28 pmOh…and my mother-in-law was diagnosed with lymphoma a week after Thanksgiving. Talk about a double-whammy.

I am very sorry to hear about your family members. I lost my father after a 12 year battle with cancer when I was 27. Many of my family members have died from cancer and heart disease. Yet, for some reason, we as a society don’t seem to notice how many of us are dying these horrible, horrible ways.
I for one would like to take the billions wasted on Iraq and put it into National Healthcare. It would be a system to actually help people, rather than harm them.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:29 pm#44:
Dream on, the president is polling 29% support on Iraq and is out trying to resell it after three years. We don’t need a formal antiwar movement - its already happened. YOU are on the defensive now to explain this fiasco.
And that is for a war that has not required ANYBODY to pay a dime in extra taxes yet , or have their children drafted. Just 1% of the population as any real skin in this thing. Just ry drafting the kids of the upper miidle class to go fight in Iraq in 2008 and watch what happens.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:37 pm#49… Bush is not a President. He’s a muppet. Opps! I mean puppet. This cowardly lion could not think outside a box even if he was given instructions on how to do it!The masterminds of this brainless, spineless unintelligent alien are Rovie and Dickie. What you see when you hear bushie talk are words and paraphrases of their own agenda. Not his. And, believe this if you will, he is the stupidest, most arrogant, selfish individual on the entire planet. And, here’s a news brief. The entire world knows it except him and his cronies!!!!!!
March 21st, 2006 at 12:39 pmI think it’s fair to say there will be troops “in” Iraq during the terms of the next few presidents. After all, we still have troops “in” Germany, Japan and Korea.
Also, I appreciate those who find the comments wishing cancer on Laura Ingraham dispicable. No one has to like her, agree with her, etc. but it’s about as low as you can go as a human to wish that, or death, or harm on anyone.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:39 pmWhy f up a good thing .The taxpayer lays out most of the working capital so UK and US Co.’s can record record profits, increase stock prices all the while providing dog shit services and products at gouging prices. I tip my glass of Army regulation septic swill to all taxpayers.
May you purchase an MRE on E-Bay and end up paying an inflated price for it for it twice.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:40 pm#44 - What happened to your little peace rally? Its supporters promised thousands and thousands of people, yet only several hundred showed up. How could that be? Maybe there isn’t as much support as you think for impeachment, hmm.
I don’t know what you read or where you were (hopefully at a peace rally and march), but around the globe there were several that had over 100,000 people show up. Here in the US and out in Portland Oregon, more than 10,000 people showed up. Some estimates had the march at 50,000.
Here’s a link for you, if you don’t believe me. Take a look at all the people who did show up. I wish I lived out there and could participate. I don’t know what you’re all go’n on about. That’s a whole bunch of people. Not that WingNuts care about how many people show up to protest their stupidity.
ITMFA!!!
March 21st, 2006 at 12:44 pmHere’s one look at the people who showed up out in Portland last weekend to protest George Wanker Bush.

March 21st, 2006 at 12:49 pmThis is a woman who has said incredibly evil and hateful things about people like me (democrat; left-wing; anti-iraq war). So boo-f’ing-hoo.
Of course U.S. troops will be in Iraq until at least the end of W. First, the U.S. military is building dozens of permanent bases in Iraq. Second, where else will the uimpending invasion of Iran come from? Remeber, W doesn’t look at the news or polls.

Thanks for your kind words. I agree 110% that we need a national health care plan. If others can do it, so can we. Sure, it most likely wouldn’t be perfect, but heck, it couldn’t be worse than what we have now.
March 21st, 2006 at 12:53 pmthere are also many upset about the war, who would not go out and join a protest. My dad who is ex-navy would never go out and protest, but he does not like bush, the Iraq war, or many things the republicans do.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:00 pmMy goodness this is the kind of leader we have in office? someone who acts and expects others to clean up after himself? wow I did that in elementary school. I wonder if how he got to be president with that attitude, geez guess i crash my car and run, let others clean my mess same rethoric isn’s it? shameful president someone needs to remove him from office HELP!!!!
March 21st, 2006 at 1:01 pmSadly I agree with Bush, the troops will be there until January 21, 2009, the day after President Feingold is sworn in.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:04 pmI’d be interested in seeing what an announcement like this, stating that we are likely to be in Iraq for years to come, does to the enlistment rate of our armed forces.

March 21st, 2006 at 1:06 pmOK - I’ll concede that there were thousands of protesters against the war last week around the world. But, where were the protesters in this country? You have to admit that you guys looked pretty weak and thats why the MSM didn’t cover the story. They once again gave your side a break. If I were to believe the 29% approval rating, wouldn’t I expect to see more people in the streets?
As a progressive Democrat, nobody despises Laura Ingraham and everything she stands for more than I do, and I also think she is personally a truly nasty bitch. However, as a breast cancer survivor whose mother and grandmother both died of the disease, I feel nothing but compassion for her right now for what she is going through with her illness. Those of you who think it is amusing to make jokes about it or claim that you think she deserves to suffer with this horrible disease are truly despicable, evil creatures, and are expressing far worse thoughts and behaviors than Ingraham ever did. You all make me sick.
Incidentally, I read this morning that Bush has cut funding for free preventive mammograms and pap tests for uninsured women and has also cut funding for every single cancer research program in the budget. What a stupid pig, but even he doesn’t deserve to get cancer.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:08 pmmy favorite line:
March 21st, 2006 at 1:09 pm“…history has proved democracies don’t war…”
uh huh…
wheres my gun i’m of to iraq
That was irresponcible of george Bush now americans troop will be bigger targets now

It looks like there were a ton of protesters here in this country. How many do you want, fer cry’n out loud?
…I couldn’t belive my eyes: there were thousands upon thousands of people; more than I had ever seen at a rally anywhere. My initial estimate was about 10,000-15,000 but people kept flooding the park while the speakers spoke so by the time we marched there must have been 20,000-40,000 people…
March 21st, 2006 at 1:11 pmof course, it was hard to top the lines about the war, economy etc looking great from his “perch” …
March 21st, 2006 at 1:11 pmimagine that
People wake up!
The L’il Dick corporate war profiteers are pouring “miles” of concrete, setting up permanent bases all around Iraq…
America is in Iraq either until she goes belly up- which by that time L’il Dick, Bushiva and their corporate cronies will be filthier rich and long gone…
…or the Iraqi/Iranians force us out- which by that time L’il Dick, Bushiva and their corporate cronies will be filthier rich and long gone…
Iraq will NEVER end for America UNLESS…
…we make the Bushites PAY:

83# Bush has cut funding for free preventive mammograms and pap tests for uninsured women and has also cut funding for every single cancer research program in the budget. What a stupid pig, but even he doesn’t deserve to get cancer.
Sorry I totally disagree Bush deserves testicular cancer of the brain …… are you dumb he is a mass murderer he does deserve to die painfully…….considering all you right wingers in fact 80% of america voted for this war, and another thing 30% still support Bush I take it there the christians in America…….what a fucked up place
March 21st, 2006 at 1:15 pmactually kate, it’s true. if you are mocking is poor grammar, that’s one thing.
democracies, history has shown, go to war with other democracies. this may simply be a coincidence, but it is the truth thus far.
…and about the laura ing. stuff…
saying she deserves this because you disagree with her… where do you get off?
i mean, i think dean is a dipshit, feingold a teatsucking opportunist and kennedy an actual murderer but i dont wish cancer, death, hell even a broken toe on them. that would be just mean.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:16 pmMSNBC now reporting that ‘Bush did not want war’. So what does this mean you Two-Pint Caligula? From October 31st, 2004 Houston Chronicle:
March 21st, 2006 at 1:17 pmWell we can take comfort in the knowledge that, for the time being at least, President Bush acknowledges there will be future presidencies. Of course this could all change between now and 2008, when his supporters decide that the 22nd amendment is another one of those ‘outdated’ laws that don’t need to be adhered to.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:18 pmI can’t wait for him to figure out a way to send the Katrina refugees over to fight his war. Just think, he could bump off a whole bunch of pesky poor people, and have more targets for the insurgents to practice on at the same time.
This guy is beyond crazy.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:18 pmDoes that mean that we stay the course in Iraq despite the fact that Saddam and the Taliban are unleashing their Jihad in Pakistan as we speak?
March 21st, 2006 at 1:18 pmThanks for your kind words. I agree 110% that we need a national health care plan. If others can do it, so can we. Sure, it most likely wouldn’t be perfect, but heck, it couldn’t be worse than what we have now.

Until we start putting people first in our political policies, we’ll continue in this degenerative state. Not what our Founding Fathers had wished for us all.

wow … your debate tactics are truly inspiring (name calling? what are you, an 8-year-old??)
I agree with the poster above who said that karma will visit us all - all we can do is be good to our fellow man and fight against injustice.
Wishing cancer upon our enemies is just bad form all the way around.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:21 pmWith statements like these the president is building the scaffold, of impeachment, on which he will hang himself
March 21st, 2006 at 1:22 pma horse is a horse of course of course and a horse could talk only if you’ re jackazz bush of course of course. so was it karen hughes brains to “inform” the public of that? who in the heck do they think they are talking to? the audacity they have to try and insult the american folks.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:23 pmMSNBC now reporting that ‘Bush did not want war’. So what does this mean you Two-Pint Caligula?
What it means is what everybody already knows, he’s a blatant, unrepentant liar. What amazes me is that he still thinks anybody is stupid enough to believe anything he says.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:26 pm#81 - Thanks big papa, for confirming every winger’s strawman argument about ‘the hate-filled Left’. Your comments are appallingly ignorant for those of us who’ve actually witnessed someone succumb to cancer. Try volunteering at a cancer hospice until you get clue……..
March 21st, 2006 at 1:27 pmThis is the first truthfull thing Bush has ever said > he will never bring the troops home from Iraq as long as he is president, so he must be impeached ASAP! George also claims that Senator Hillary Clinton will replace him in 2008, which implies that Hillary and Bill have sold out the Democratic Party, and Hillary has also agreed to keep the troops in Iraq for her 4 to 8 years in office?! It is OIL that drives the Bush’s and Clinton’s into utter madness!
March 21st, 2006 at 1:28 pmchase 90 - actually kate, it’s true. if you are mocking is poor grammar, that’s one thing.
democracies, history has shown, go to war with other democracies. this may simply be a coincidence, but it is the truth thus far.
actually, it’s katY … and your “response” is confusing at best, surely it’s mock-able…
March 21st, 2006 at 1:28 pmi won’t dignify it with any attempt to clarify for you bush’s words…stupid words…
#2, Your comments about Laura Ingraham looking less than womanly, you dumbass she is recovering from cancer. Theres plenty of stuff to disagree with the right wingers on but lets not turn into scumbags and make fun of a politcal foe by making fun of their fight with cancer. Get a life you loser.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:29 pmAND just think, you commie lovers have THREE MORE YEARS of Bush and his war!!! AND once we invade Iran, he’ll be taking questions everyday!
Nothing like seeing the moonbat left go wild over Bush’s statements.
AND Thank you #101 for speaking truth. Billary is Bushie deep down.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:31 pm#72 It’s funny that the scumbag side of our party makes fun of those we disagree with because they have CANCER. You are acting just like Rush Limbaugh. I understand you probably are not very bright so maybe blogs are a bad idea for you.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:31 pmhaha katy, youre right, i botched the whole response. let me try again.
democracies do not go to war with other democracies. even though this may be just a coincidence, it’s historically factual.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:34 pmI’ve changed my mind. I want Bush to remain in office until America goes bankrupt and all of the middle east is in flames, and the Chinese take over control of whats left of the world. It’s his mess and I want everyone left alive to know who did this to our planet.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:35 pm“democracies do not go to war with other democracies. even though this may be just a coincidence, it’s historically factual. Comment by Chase ”
Ah, I see Chase is back spreading yet more inaccurate childlike assumptions.
Hitler and Musolini were ‘elected’, and while they were ‘fascist’, their governments were democracies - at least as much or even more than ours. The difference between Hitler’s government and Bush’s, is that Hitler was actually democratically elected.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:38 pmHow bout that censure resolution, dipshits!? Wanna help us bring Bush’s numbers back up? I love watching liberals foam at the mouth - it’s hysterical.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:39 pmI forgive you chase for those posts, I’m sure you didn’t mean to lie, but that probably you just don’t know much about history.
May I suggest some more reading sweetie?
March 21st, 2006 at 1:39 pmBush claiming the troops will remain in Iraq throughout his presidency is indeed a timetable. Not a full one, but a timetable none-the-less.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:41 pm#108 - the difference is in Hitler’s govt, you’d be gassed for a hateful statement like that. unfortunately, we have to put up with you no matter how anti-American you are.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:41 pmLiberals Are Anti-Democracy,
You really shouldn’t hate ‘liberals’, see we both want the country to succeed - at least I do, and I”ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
After all, isn’t democracy where the most votes win, and wasn’t Bush’s victory in 2000 ‘anti-democracy’ by nature?
I hate to correct you, but the truth must be heard.
And I forgive you for lying, that’s what those who have partisan brains like yourself do - live in fear, hate and anger.
Poor pumpkin, you’re such a victim of your illness…
March 21st, 2006 at 1:41 pmI do not want anyone to get cancer. I have seen too many people in my life suffer and die from this dreaded disease. Having said that, perhaps this will give this woman a chance to become empathetic to the plight of many people who suffer from a disease that this administration has deemed not important enough for them to spend research dollars on.
It was not until Reagan contracted alzheimers that the Reagan’s began to see how imprtant stem cell reseasrch was. For some it takes a personal tragedy to finally become human.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:41 pmyou’re still confusing me chase - though i’m not confused by the irony of w’s words - it seems you are…
March 21st, 2006 at 1:42 pm#109 No you don’t NeD. You are a liar and most liars think everyone is lying too. Well, dude, they aren’t and you don’t believe that stupid crap you say. You merely want our attention and we are happy to give you some.
We figure at least you aren’t spreading your goofiness to those that aren’t capable of seeing the truth. There are a couple left other than yourself.
So what do you think about all the republicans jumping ship? Are they scared? What about Keane not coming to the fundraiser in Jersey until Cheney left? Is it that the repubs are distancing themselves from this admin? Or, was it just another coincidence?
March 21st, 2006 at 1:43 pm“the difference is in Hitler’s govt, you’d be gassed for a hateful statement like that. unfortunately, we have to put up with you no matter how anti-American you are. Comment by Liberals Are Anti-Democracy”
Oh sweetie, I bet if you had your way you wouldn’t put up with me - and that’s how you know you’re like hitler pumpkin.
Evil is a slippery slope, and it’s why you need to find your better self. All of this anger and hatred you project is misplaced. Why don’t you go to Pakistan and help with the effort to find Bin Laden?
And I forgive you for your misrepresentation of what I said - it’s what those who are desperate do pumpkin.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:43 pmyou made your bed so you can all lay in it ??
As for us were all ok
March 21st, 2006 at 1:44 pmThe posts cheering for Laura Ingraham to suffer from her cancer are all from the same person. Don’t even bother responding anymore. I have checked into it and it’s one person using different emails to post. He is obviously a scumbag with nothing better to do than make fun of cancer. To the scumbag I hope that you never experience a loved one suffering from this horrible disease. You have my email address if you don’t believe I know who you are just send me an email and I’ll send back your IP address and LOTS more personal information. KEEPING IT HONEST
March 21st, 2006 at 1:44 pmGod help us all.
ned is back. Goon.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:44 pm#112 People weren’t gassed because of their words, they were gassed because of their genes. You know, like you do with women.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:44 pmkindness, he is so obvious. Start chiding him about his stupid mustache and he will go away.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:45 pmbush says the u.s is not a democracy……
with his usual unfaltering optimism, the president gave yet another series of statements about how swell the war in iraq is going……
March 21st, 2006 at 1:48 pm6 - “He disrespected Helen Thomas big time, but she can take it, and I just laughed. She knew when she asked her question she wasn’t going to get anything but a squirming, pissed off Georgie, and squirm he did.” - Zookeeper
****Oh, you mean the part where Helen kept interrupting Bush while he was speaking?? That WAS awfully disrespectFUL of the President!!!!! Personally, I don’t know why Helen bothers to ask her “questions”. She already knows what she’s going to write - and it ain’t going to be objective…..
March 21st, 2006 at 1:51 pmjust curious - when i read this character i think “wallace”…NeD was around in the early days…are these 2 one-and-the-same? aka - patriot and numerous other forgetable names?
March 21st, 2006 at 1:51 pmBush did himself a huge favor today by actually defending his policies and attacking his attackers. The Dubai deal is over folks - now we talk censure and impeachment. AND the Democrats will fold and act like the cowards we know they are. They know their base is radical. That is why they ignore you.

OPEC, BUSH, CHENEY WERE ALL INTO ON THIS SCAM!!!
THIS WAS THE REASON THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY WENT INTO IRAQ… TO KEEP THE IRAQI OIL AWAY FROM THE MARKET ON PURPOSE…ECONOMIC 101!!!
OPEC IS IN ON IT, THE WAR KEEPS THE IRAQI OIL AWAY FROM THE MARKET…MAKING PRICES HIGHER!
March 21st, 2006 at 1:54 pmthere you go, rubber hose 123 … you picked up on that - after all: “democracies don’t war” …right?

Comment by mighty aphrodite AKA Jeffrey Shawn AKA Ritewinger”
I forgive you sweetie for projecting your own posting styles on legitimate reporters. And the reason she ‘asks’ those questions, is that’s the role of a reporter. If you’re used to watching Fox News - as I imagine you are, it must be a foreign concept.
But I forgive you for not understanding how the american press works, and what’s considered ‘disrespectful’ is a president that won’t answer question to the reporter - who is a PROXY for you and me. Just because you BELIEVE you already know the answer, don’t accuse others of your failties sweetie.
Pumpkin, I forgive you for being afraid of the truth, it’s fear that makes a partisan, and you seem to shake in your boots.
And I forgive you for once again straying off topic, I imagine the fact that Bush has fumbled Iraq must be difficult for a fine Chickenhawk scaredy boy like yourself.
March 21st, 2006 at 1:59 pmRightPunch - you’re afraid of the truth. If you weren’t, you would be dealing with your own party’s lies on the issue of Iraq. You want to cheap points in wartime - PERIOD. I pity your kind.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:01 pm“Bush did himself a huge favor today by actually defending his policies and attacking his attackers. The Dubai deal is over folks - now we talk censure and impeachment. AND the Democrats will fold and act like the cowards we know they are. They know their base is radical. That is why they ignore you. Comment by Liberals Are Anti-Democracy”
Is that so sweetie? Then why hasn’t congress called for an anti-abortion constitutional amendment right now? Or is it that they’re ‘cowards’ and know that their base is radical, so they’re ignoring you?
And pumpkin, you do realize that the measures to impeach and censure both poll higher than congress or bush don’t you? That means impeachment is considered a more popular option than the president is.
Be careful what you ask for pumpkin ;)
March 21st, 2006 at 2:01 pmYes Aphrodite, you’re absolutely right… objectivity has pretty much left the news since Roger Ailes got intothe game.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:02 pm#131 - no, Republicans don’t want a constitutional amendment banning abortion. We wanted Alito and Roberts. AND we got them. NEXT!

Or is it that they’re ‘cowards’ and know that their base is radical, so they’re ignoring you?. Republicans have said from the beginning that it should be up to the States. Have you noticed States starting to pass anti-abortion laws? Nice try genius. Do your homework son.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:07 pmHow many times can Right Punch use the word pumpkin in one blog? Take a break smoke another bong and think of another condescending word.

March 21st, 2006 at 2:11 pmAND once we invade Iran, he’ll be taking questions everyday!
Nothing like seeing the moonbat left go wild over Bush’s statements.
Warmongers one and all. The Republican right loves to see the blood of American young men and women flowing through the streets in the Arab world. It makes the Republican right feel alive. It makes them wish they had gone to war when they had the chance instead of joining champagne units, taking five deferments, suffeiring from ass-cysts and acne.
Good luck with your Iranian war war mongers. You must be praying for the deaths of thousands of more young Americans in the Muddled East.
Pray for more war ye bringers of death.
Remember Jesus.

March 21st, 2006 at 2:30 pmMore evidence the Bush administration ignored accurate information about Iraq in their rush for war. From MSNBC:
“In the period before the Iraq war, the CIA and the Bush administration erroneously believed that Saddam Hussein was hiding major programs for weapons of mass destruction. Now NBC News has learned that for a short time the CIA had contact with a secret source at the highest levels within Saddam Hussein’s government, who gave them information far more accurate than what they believed. It is a spy story that has never been told before, and raises new questions about prewar intelligence.”
March 21st, 2006 at 2:30 pmIraqi diplomat gave U.S. prewar WMD details - Saddam’s foreign minister told CIA the truth, so why didn’t agency listen?
Hershey, PA, April, 2004:
There are people here in this world who still want to hurt us. See, they can’t stand America.
Press Conference, April, 2004:
We must do everything in our power to find these killers and bring them to justice, before they hurt us again. I’m afraid they want to hurt us again. They’re still there.
May 2004, Bush falls off his mountain bike, grazing his chin, upper lip, nose, both knees and his right hand, while riding on his ranch in Texas.
August, 2004:
Bush: I believe that terrorists are evil because they want to hurt the US.
Bush to the U.S. University Presidents Summit on International Education: “There is still an enemy that lurks, that wants to hurt us.”
July, 2005: Bush is hurt when he loses control of his bicycle and runs into a police officer at the G8 summit in Scotland.
October 18, 2005:
There are enemies still out there who want to hurt us.
San Diego, CA, March, 2006:
I believe that they want to hurt us again.
So failure in Iraq, which isn’t going to happen, would send all kinds of terrible signals to an enemy that wants to hurt us
Bush; “There are people who want to hurt us.

It’s pretty obvious that Dubya is living his life with the forever-stalled emotions and intellect of a four-year-old who has been abused. He and his handlers all seem to be suffering from severe arrested development.
If Bush and Cheney are not impeached then by January, 2009, the economy, the military, the country and the American people will amount, by far, to the biggest train wreck of a nation and its peopl since the defeat of the Third Reich.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:34 pmhere is another intelligent quote from Mr. Bush. Topic is illiteracy. “Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that tthe illiteracy level of our children are appalling”. HUH?
March 21st, 2006 at 2:34 pmnstead, pointed out Ingraham, the MSM’s approach is to stand on a balcony in the Green Zone, reporting on the latest IEDs, killings and reprisals.
Which is why Jill Carroll is in the hands of insurgents? Which is why there are more reporters dead in this war than in any previous war.
Ingrahams “balcony” line will be recited ad-infinitum by right wingers. Notice that Ingraham didn’t hit he streets of Iraq by herself..Nope she was embedded with US troops..not exactoy a great way to get the locals to talk to you, even if you claim to be a reporter.
As one Iraqi said: “Most Iraqis have learned to say nice things to people with guns”.
Also, when did Laura Ingraham become K.D. Lang? Why isn’t she married? I think that she is a poor example to young women today. Women should be gettingmarried and procreating and not cutting their hair to butchy lengths and donning khakis.

March 21st, 2006 at 2:34 pmI LIKE KHAKIS!!!!!
March 21st, 2006 at 2:36 pm“How many times can Right Punch use the word pumpkin in one blog? Take a break smoke another bong and think of another condescending word. Comment by Heather Bryce ”
Oh pumpkin. Only someone filled with hate, rage and anger would think a term of endearment is ‘condescending’. But I forgive you for not being able to show love and forgiveness to your fellow man.
As for the republican stance on abortion being a ’states right’ issue, is that exactly what they said about marriage, before they lobbied for a FEDERAL constitutional amendment? Why is marriage any more of a federal issue than ‘murder’ - as republicans call abortion? You can’t have ‘MURDER’ be a state issue can you? Or are you saying abortion isn’t ‘MURDER’ and the partisan republicans lie?
But I forgive you for your bad memory, it’s a problem with partisan brain - selective memory.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:38 pmHey Republicans Hate Christianity,
That was a really good impression of me - very funny, and I have to agree with with you wrote, and I forgive you for doing an impression of me. Assuming that’s what you were doing
March 21st, 2006 at 2:40 pmBush sucks, we all know this. But I don’t see how impeaching him –and making Cheney president– is going to drastically improve our situation. President Cheney? Now that’s scary.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:43 pm#146 Ingraham was mainly with IRAQI troops. But hey don’t let the facts get in the way of your argument.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:45 pmOh yes and #146 in case you missed the dozens of posts explaining that Ingraham has cancer then now you know jackass.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:46 pmMr Bush had once said that we will stay in Iraq until the job is done and not a day longer. I guess what he didn’t say was that if the job doesn’t get done we will be ther forever.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:47 pm#148 Nice try smart guy. Intellegent people call that a “red heiring”. Republicans insanse stance on gay marriage has nothing to do with the fact that my point was 100% correct. The majority of Republicans think it should be a states issue. So I’m really not interested in joining your fake argument about gay marriage. And by the way all your comments about being hate filled etc. Remember the Republicans have been proven (scientific study) to be happier and more positive than Democrats (regardless of income). Whose bitter and angry?
March 21st, 2006 at 2:50 pmThis was his plan from the start!!! Bankrupt the USA, Allow Oil companies to RAPE the WORLD and pass the buck to the inheritors of all this blood for oil…..our children, grnadchildren and their kids……how we allow this to happen without a fight is beyond me…..call your corrupt govenment official and let them know how you feel….yell at them so they get the point….harrassment is better than blood

March 21st, 2006 at 2:51 pmIngraham was mainly with IRAQI troops. But hey don’t let the facts get in the way of your argument.
Comment by Heather Bryce — March 21, 2006 @ 2:45 pm
And your point is?
Fact remains reporters need to use military protection in order to do their job, as Ingraham herself said: “”Yes. I was not on the hotel balcony. I was out with the U.S. military. It can be done in any part of the country.”
In other words, she was embedded -not the best way to give an unbiased picture of what’s happening in Iraq.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:52 pmHow is the monkey so certain of victory when he can’t even see the end of the war? What is victory and how will he know it? He just admitted to open-ended warfare.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:53 pmHe is a spoiled willful child - a case of arrested development. He has never had to work for anything, nor suffer consequences for his decisions. He always had Daddy’s rich friends to help him start something, and then later to bail him out. He is without morals, without integrity or responsibility. Where he was once drunk with liquor, he is now drunk with power — he simply changed vehicles. True to form, he is leaving another mess for someone who follows to clean up.
I had to laugh when in his defense of Rumsfeld, he said that war plans look good on paper until you face the enemy:
1. Like he would know the first thing about war planning
2. Like he would know what it means to face an enemy
3. Like he would recognize incompetence - it’s in his mirror every day, but he is blind
Bush is a despicable person, ignorant and stubborn, and dangerously irresponsible.
Sorry I don’t mean to pollute this blog with facts but again #146 what planet are you on. Do you have any idea how many reporters dies in Vietnam. Actually so far about 9 times more than Iraq. Sorry I know it’s so much more fun when you get to make stuff up.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:55 pm146 - yea, Laura Ingram rode around inside an armored vehicle with the US army. So she should know that reporters can be in Iraq.
I’ll bet she never left the Army base she was on.
Kool Aide drinkers, all of ‘em. You go Jim Carville, just cause your married to Mautlin, doesn’t mean you gotta be nice to the rest of the swilling reichtwingnutz media people.

Sure it does. Republicans claim abortion is murder, so how is murder a ’states right’ issue?
That’s just silly pumpkin.
“So I’m really not interested in joining your fake argument about gay marriage. Heather Bryce”
How is asking why marriage is more of a ‘federal’ issue than ‘murder’, a fake argument? It sounds perfectly rational - but your response is a little hysterical sweetie.
“And by the way all your comments about being hate filled etc. Heather Bryce”
Not at all pumpkin, I don’t hate you, I love you. You’re my fellow american, and you clearly want and believe you’re doing the right thing. Why should I hate you? Are you maybe just assuming or projecting your own emotions a bit pumpkin?
“Remember the Republicans have been proven (scientific study) to be happier and more positive than Democrats (regardless of income). Whose bitter and angry? Comment by Heather Bryce”
Yeah, and the studies also show that Republican children are whiney and insecure, and grow up to be insecure, defensive and rigid. Or did you miss that latest SCIENTIFIC study.
See the difference between a ‘poll’ and a ’study’ done by researchers, is one is unscientific, while the other is scientific.
But I forgive you - partisan brain (another interesting SCIENTIFIC STUDY) prevents people like you from processing any information that doesn’t fit your preconceptions. It’s OK sweetie, you’re just a drug addicted insecure person - you can’t help yourself.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:56 pm“herring Comment by Heather Bryce”
Actually I kind of liked ‘heiring’ better, as that more closely explains how Bush got where he is :)
March 21st, 2006 at 2:58 pmheather - links would make your point much better. Preferrably not to links that are full of shit.
oh yea, chill girl. You gotta keep your dander down.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:58 pmI hope I don’t cause a heart attack in anyone, but I’m sorry to shock some folks tht when Dubya says “not in my presidency”, this does not necessarily mean untiul 2008. We all know that he has absolutely no credibility whatsoever, so whatever he says has to be taken with a grain of salt. What if, just speculating now folks, but what if there was a surprise “surprise” “terrorist” attack (wink, wink, nod, nod) and Dubya then proclaimed that he has to “protect” us all and he therefore is cancelling the 2008 elections until he feels it will be “safe” for the country to have an election, which folks, may be never. Just thinking aloud.
March 21st, 2006 at 2:58 pmRight Punch, “drug addicted” that’s a mature come back. I think I remember you from the 3rd grade playground. “Partisan brain” that’s funny I thought I remembered being an independent who has criticized the administration countless times on this very blog. Oh and another pesky fact, polls and studies are BOTH scientific. I know it takes more than your apparent 3rd grade education to know that though. Your starting to bore me sweet cheeks.
March 21st, 2006 at 3:02 pmIt’s amazing how transparent “chimpy” (I like that #37) is, I believe this press conference is psyco-manipulation of the masses. He’s been told to go out and “speak honestly” because even though the message is going to suck, people will respect his honesty. Its a tactic used to quell concern and send those who are not motivated enough to speak out or do something to get him out of office, quietly back to thier homes in resignation of the fact that they should just be happy with thier lives right now and leave the important stuff to those better able to handle it…Chimpy and Dead Eye. Why do I feel like I’m in a bad western? Seriously, I, like many people I talk to, am AFRAID for our country and for the future of our country. I try to do a little something every day to help the cause and promote those that feel the same and want to see a change in the white house, but sometimes I wonder what we’re fighting and if its just gotten too big for us to fight? Are we on the verge of a revolution? We are at the edge, but what will unify us and push us over? It has to be a thing so big that will push us so violently out of our complacient shells, that we’ll be so busy being out on the streets of washington we won’t have time to write about what we think. I’m afraid to think what that thing will be. What else do we have to endure before we truly have had enough?
March 21st, 2006 at 3:02 pmRight Punch I know this is difficult for you but concentrate really hard and you might get it. My point was that (right or wrong, insane or not) the Republicans have said that abortion should be a states right issue, that is why they are not proposing a federall amendment (doesn’t matter if it makes since that is what they are doing). That’s why it’s a red herring. I wasn’t agruing that it’s right, I was explaining (to someone else) why they haven’t proposed an amendment. Good try though, your starting to resemble a rabid dog.
March 21st, 2006 at 3:09 pmMore press have been killed in Iraq than in all of the Vietnam War,
Look it up.
