Snow: President Bush Is ‘On The Frontlines’ Of The Iraq War ‘Every Day’
Snow: President Bush Is ‘On The Frontlines’ Of The Iraq War ‘Every Day’
In today’s White House press briefing, reporter Helen Thomas asked Tony Snow if there are “any members of the Bush family or this administration in this war.” Stunningly, Snow claimed that President Bush is actually on the “frontlines” of the war in Iraq:
Q: Are there any members of the Bush family or this administration in this war?
SNOW: Yeah, the President. The President is in the war every day.
Q: Come on, that isn’t my question –SNOW: Well, no, if you ask any president who is a commander in chief –
Q: On the frontlines, where ever…
SNOW: The President.
Watch it:
In reality, Bush and his administration have repeatedly shown they are deeply out of touch with the sacrifices and the fighting by U.S. troops and their families. Bush himself acknowledged his detachment during a press conference in February:
I can only tell you what people on the ground, whose judgment — it’s hard for me, living in this beautiful White House, to give you an assessment, firsthand assessment. I haven’t been there; you have, I haven’t.
In April, First Lady Laura Bush tried to claim that “no one suffers more than their President and I do.” When asked by PBS’s Jim Lehrer why he hasn’t called on more Americans to sacrifice for the war, Bush claimed that Americans have had to “sacrifice peace of mind when they see the terrible image of violence on TV every night.”

Yeah, Commander Guy leads the charge, just like the president in Independence Day, one of the stupidest movies ever.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:22 pmSorry if this has been commented on before, but… wow, Tony Snow looks terrible.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:22 pmWish that the Smirking Chimp really was on the frontlines…
June 14th, 2007 at 1:23 pmOh, pulleeeeze. The AWOL faux pilot couldn’t handle ten seconds of real combat without crapping his panties.
In the real war today…
a U.S. soldier said a dozen rockets or mortars rained down on Baghdad’s heavily guarded Green Zone on Thursday afternoon. At least one fell outside Iraq’s parliament, about 25 minutes before the U.S. State Department’s No. 2 official was to visit a nearby American military building.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:24 pmMaybe on his xBox…
June 14th, 2007 at 1:24 pmGeorge Bush, another victim of PTSD.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:24 pmOne can only wish of such things.
PFC Bush
June 14th, 2007 at 1:24 pmDraft the twins and the immediate family members of everyone in the executive branch and in congress. Place them in a humvee in Iraq.
The war will be over in a matter of minutes if not sooner.
Oh, send all the chickenhawks that are on radio and tv as commentators and news readers too.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:25 pmSnowjob : just a Lying Sychophantic Mouthpiece for the Worst President of All Time.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:26 pmAnd the Bullsh*t Media being bought and sold by this Admin. makes sure :
“the terrible image of violence on TV every night.†IS NOT SHOWN.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:29 pmDr Lee.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:29 pmthe sight of Rush Limberger in full combat gear would have the insurgents falling down laughing, not to mention the twins looking for a place to buy a couple a beers and some condoms in downtown Baghdad!
Bush orders the beggining of the war. The war lasts longer than expected, then in the backlash—–
Dems win control of congress vowing to stop the war.
Dems could have sat on their hands and done NOTHING in terms of sending a war spending bill to the President and put an end to the war.
INSTEAD:
Dems play games with the MSM for two months and end up FUNDING THE FREAKING WAR!!!!!!!!! Now, Republicans and democrats have blood on their hands. Everyone on hear who helped the Dems take control of Congress now has blood on their hands. Enjoy it folks. YOU helped continue the war. YOU should be proud………
June 14th, 2007 at 1:29 pmSnowjob probably meant Shrub has a video game named “Operation Freedom” and he plays it daily while Uncle Dick runs the country his way.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:30 pmCOMMENT BY JIM,
“Dems play games with the MSM for two months and end up FUNDING THE FREAKING WAR!!!!!!!!! Now, Republicans and democrats have blood on their hands.”
While I understand your sentiment here, it is important to remember that barely a thrid of all Dems voted for that funding bill
June 14th, 2007 at 1:31 pmIs it possible that the whole motivation behind this war was to give Chimpy the illusion of actually having “served” in combat?
Nah… that would require that he feel some shame about his cowardly behavior during Vietnam. I’m convinced Chimpy has no capacity to feel shame.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:35 pmCrump’s Brother,
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the elected leaders of the Democrats in Congress who were elected by the rank and file Democrat Congress men and women SUPPORTED THE SPENDING BILL!!!!!!!!!!! Total flip flop from THEIR campaign promises. And, as a result now share in being responsible for the death and destruction that is happening in Iraq daily.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:36 pmAlmost no one deserves cancer…
June 14th, 2007 at 1:36 pmEveryone on hear who helped the Dems take control of Congress now has blood on their hands. Enjoy it folks. YOU helped continue the war. YOU should be proud………
Comment by COMMENT BY JIM — June 14, 2007 @ 1:29 pm
Yeah because the Dems in Congress did exactly what we told them to.
Are you a moron?
Nice spin.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:37 pmSnow’s comment is nothing short of outrageous. There is a photo that was taken in the White House during Christmas of the entire Bush clan, over forty members of that family in that photo but, despite what Snow is trying to infer, not one member of his family, or Cheney’s family, is fighting for their war in Iraq. Bush has called for sacrifice in the past but apparently that word does not extend to members of his family sacrificing in Iraq. I have received in the mail a button which is very relevant to this topic which proclaims: “Draft the rich- It’s their war.”
June 14th, 2007 at 1:38 pmThe reason for the Iraq war was not to take the Iraqis oil. The purpose was to get the Iraqi oil off the market, so Exxon could raise prices.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:38 pmOmnipresent?? Bush?? Give me a break here! A “magician” this guy’s not….”on the frontlines”….?? Only from the idiotic mouth of Tony Snow!
It’s clear that the chemotherapy has decreased Snow’s number of active brain cells. Now we know the truth! Either that or his cancer has mets to his brain!
June 14th, 2007 at 1:38 pmexcept Bush and Cheney…
June 14th, 2007 at 1:38 pmCould snow possibly be saying this about Draftdodger/AWOL Nat. Guard George W?? Surely, he jests…..LMAO!
June 14th, 2007 at 1:39 pmSnowflake just delivered an HUGE slap in the face to every single man and woman in the military — and their families.
Simply unbelievable….
June 14th, 2007 at 1:40 pm#18 Jimbo/Dumbo: You’ve got 5 years of the war on your hands, criminal!
June 14th, 2007 at 1:40 pmSpudge Boy
I’m the moron? Or are you the moron because you believed the Democrats when they vowed to end the war when elected?
I’m not spinning, I’m just pointing out the lying and BS that is coming out of Washington.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:41 pmNow we can be certain that nothing coming from Snowjob’s mouth is authentic - the cancer has definitely metastisized to his brain.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:41 pmBushBoy wouldn’t know an IED from a DVD.
Life expectancy in Iraq; 10-15 minutes.
On the upside, he could get a Reaganesque funeral.
You know, with the horses, uniforms, guns & LaLa. Smiling. All the way.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:42 pmWith Snow Flake’s latest lie’s my bull shit meter on the old iMack went bonker’s..There’s just so much a person and a machine can take….Gotta go hug some puppies and trees, no realety in our administration…..Blessings
June 14th, 2007 at 1:45 pmJimbo: It’s time you get something straight here. Although posters enjoy the latitude of intelligent debate, the one thing which (other than the idiotic trolls) is patently clear here on these threads - that is the factual data upon which we base our rejection of the corrupt Republican Party. That data is accurate and uncontrovertible. The fact that we may be disappointed that the Dems aren’t tough enough (because they’re not the seasoned criminals which the GOP happens to be) does not mean that we support any premise of this absolutely and totally corrupt, necrotic Republican base OR the maniacal, criminal actions of the Bush Cabal….if you’re looking for support for Bush here, you’re blogging on the wrong threads, dude. Do yourself one heap, big favor and “hit the road”.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:46 pmHi Sharon!
June 14th, 2007 at 1:47 pmClearly, Snowflake’s cancer (or chemotherapy) is affecting not only his synaptic activity but his soul as well. Unfortuante, but true. Blessings right back at ya’!
JIM, or rather NUMBNUTS……
They have been in office for a MERE 5 or 6 months……
How long was the Republicans in office before this mess started??????
Did you expect them to just end it Immediately????
Can someone please explain to me why Republicans seem to have a brain difficiancy that prevents them from thinking logically????
I am not happy with them at the moment either, but given that the Republicans mud sling and derade people for the smallest things, I do understand their moving cautiously to get it right so the Republicans don’t have a leg to stand on when they start calling them more harsh name than TRAITORS.

At least Scott McLellan didn’t believe the BS he was paid to spew.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:50 pm#32: The singular fact that “Numbnuts Jim” fails to acknowledge is that the Bush Crime team has had 6 very long years to effect their twisted agenda …. it will probably take six decades to undo all of the filth they’ve done.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:53 pmOH…. And JIM……
Why are you not bitchin and moaning about this?????
http://www.globalresearch.ca/ index.php?context=viewArticle&code=ROG20070521&articleId=5721
“The Bush administration has released a directive called the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive. The directive released on May 9th, 2007 has gone almost unnoticed by the mainstream and alternative media. This is understandable considering the huge Ron Paul and immigration news but this story is equally as huge. In this directive, Bush declares that in the event of a “Catastrophic Emergencyâ€, the President will be entrusted with leading the activities to ensure constitutional government. The language in this directive would in effect make the President a dictator in the case of such an emergency.
The directive defines a “Catastrophic Emergency†as the following.
“Catastrophic Emergency” means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions; ”
…
“The language written in the directive is disturbing because it doesn’t say that the President will work with the other branches of government equally to ensure a constitutional government is protected. It says clearly that there will be a cooperative effort among the three branches that will be coordinated by the President. If the President is coordinating these efforts it effectively puts him in charge of every branch. The language in the directive is entirely Orwellian in nature making it seem that it is a cooperative effort between all three branches but than it says that the President is in charge of the cooperative effort.
The directive defines Enduring Constitutional Government as the following.
“Enduring Constitutional Government,” or “ECG,” means a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, coordinated by the President, as a matter of comity with respect to the legislative and judicial branches and with proper respect for the constitutional separation of powers among the branches, to preserve the constitutional framework under which the Nation is governed and the capability of all three branches of government to execute constitutional responsibilities and provide for orderly succession, appropriate transition of leadership, and interoperability and support of the National Essential Functions during a catastrophic emergency;
Further on in the document it states the following.
The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government. “
June 14th, 2007 at 1:54 pmMr. Snow, you have a call from Lee Atwater on lines one and two…
June 14th, 2007 at 1:55 pmsnow = d*ck
June 14th, 2007 at 1:55 pm#30
The truth apparently hurts. There is no debate that thanks to the Democrats, the ones who promised to end the war, the death and destruction is garranteed to continue another year because the Democrats gave Bush the funds to do so. Your wanting to debate? Can’t debate that.
#32
The Dems are moving “cautiously” alright. To bad the death rate in Iraq isn’t moving up “cautiously”. What did the Dems think was going to happen when they took over Congress? That they would have majority without responsibility? This is their war now as well as the neocons…..

June 14th, 2007 at 1:59 pmNice way to again insult the men and women who are on the front lines and minimize their sacrifice. And their families.

It’s true. Scottie often looked embarrassed. But this guy is arrogant to the max!
June 14th, 2007 at 2:00 pmThat IS a huge slap in the mouth, or actually more like a brick to the face of anyone who has served, For tony snow to stand in front of millions and say that the idiot who sent them to war in the first place…
June 14th, 2007 at 2:04 pmI agree with Jim. The Democrats could join forces with Kucinich to defund the occupation but the overwhelming majority of them, these alleged antiwar democrats, refuse to do so. They were elected in November to put an end to the war but they are not keeping their promise. The Democrats cannot claim that they oppose the war/occupation if they keep the funds going to keep the war machine on track. Stop the war-now. Bring the troops home-now.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:06 pmSnow-job has started drinking heavily.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:06 pmTony Snow will say anything. The attempts at spin are ridiculous. And the msm says nothing about these statements. Ever.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:07 pmNow, let me a quick comparison between GW Bush and a favorite US villain: Ernesto Guevara.
Guevara was the first one to engage combat in a given situation. He didnt step back his men. He said: Relentlessly, shoot at enemy military posts. Let them never be calm, never be easy, never forget whats the price for fighting against their own people.
When they werent fighting, Guevara taught their men to read. I bet GW Bush does that…
June 14th, 2007 at 2:08 pmThis is like when Bush stood before a room of amputees and assured them that he understood their pain because he too had an injury… a scratch on his arm from clearing brush… Fukcing Classic!
How does anyone in the military continue to support this offensive dickweed?

Jim, you weak-minded troll:
The dems control one half of one third, or one sixth (I even did the math for you), of the Federal Government: The House of Representatives. They, most decidedly, do not have a majority. Thus, they do not set policy, or control the agenda. Their small majority in the house allows them to place some checks on the unbridled powers of a one-party system. All of that will go away in the next election. The Dems will win that lock, stock, and barrel - only those Dems stupid and spineless enough to counter the will of their constituents will loose their offices. All of those will be replaced by Democrats, also.
You need to wake up, then you need to grow up. Your side has lost the battle and the war. You’ll resent it for some time, but eventually, you’ll grow to accept it. Go look into your own eyes in a mirror and repeat: I was wrong.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:10 pmCapt. Codpiece wouldn’t know real combat if it slapped him upside the head.

Dems have the MAJORITY in the senate and house. They HAD the power to prevent a war funding bill from reaching the President’s desk and therefore ending the war. You are the one who needs to wake up dude.
The Dems control one half of one third or one sixth of the Federal Government? Who do you think is going to stop the war? The judicial branch?

June 14th, 2007 at 2:32 pm“2001 days since any attack on American soil”
The only attack worth mentioning at all is the one that happened while Bush was “doing his job.” Prior to that…? We’ve had some pretty lousy Presidents in our history, but Bush is unique:
- Only President to suffer a successful major domestic terrorist attack
- Only President to turn a budget surplus into a record deficit
- Only President to nearly asphyxiate eating a pretzel
- Only President to fall off a vehicle with internal load-balancing gyroscopic controls
- Worst public opinion of any President, at any time, ever
- Created the largest single source of debt in the history of the world
- Only President to have Jesus reply “no comment” when asked if he loved him too
The list goes on. The days grow short. Cheney’s pacemaker is getting old. I have 20 people running for President and I hate them all.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:34 pmGee forgive me but it seems Georges greatest contribution to American history ( after we were attacked on his watch ) ,is nothing happened ?…………………………………………………..
what happened was our abandonment of our deepest held beliefs about the dignity of man and reputation as a nation ,
June 14th, 2007 at 2:37 pmand the deaths and wounding of millions of innocent people who had nothing at all to do with 911 AT ALL !
But do happen to possess a lot of oil which Halliburton will be glad to help them with .

We’re just lucky. It’s not like the Bush Administration has done anything to protect our borders or anything.

Dude you are not ignoring me. You are suppose to say “under the bridge troll”. It really is cute.

June 14th, 2007 at 3:49 pmI love hippies.
June 14th, 2007 at 4:20 pmIs Bush drinking a beer pop in the associated picture?
June 14th, 2007 at 4:43 pmYou’d think Tony Snow would maybe decide that lying on behalf of criminal scum isn’t good for his health.
June 14th, 2007 at 4:44 pmI would love to see Bush and Cheney on the frontlines in Iraq for just half a day. When he travels to Iraq, Cheney’s eyes are always bulging out, either from fear, or the tightness of his armored vest, or both.
I can guarantee you that they would both be wearing their brown trousers!
While Lincoln couldn’t sleep because of the tragedy of the Civil War and frequently met with his generals and troops on the battlefield, we have a president that says he sleeps very well and has no interest in what his troops or generals believe. That’s why we have a failed “surge” on our hands now.
Remember that it was just a few weeks ago that we had to look forward to”Magic September 2007″, the turning point, for making tough decisions? That will be pushed back to early 2008, and then the summer of 2008. Then, Bush can tell us all to kiss off, because it is not his problem any more.
I just hope that Bush finds it impossible to travel as a normal American after his Presidency, without being booed or heckled. He still won’t get it, though. Perhaps he’ll move to Dubai, along with Cheney and Halliburton.
June 14th, 2007 at 4:48 pmAll I got to say is , that if Tony snow keeps lying for the bungling babbling buffoon. Tony snow is doom to go to hell where bush and cheney already have reservations.

Lying is not easy on one’s health. When snowjob goes down, there will be another lying, cheating and unethical spokes person will stand up to take his place. He’s one of the 28% that still support the WORST president in US history, GWB, alcoholic, liar, cheater and total failure as anything in his life.
June 14th, 2007 at 5:17 pmLooks like they got snowjob on some nasty chemo meds. Only dumb shits
June 14th, 2007 at 5:18 pmlike this guy fall for the “chemo cancer treatment” BS.
LOL Bush is NO where near the “Frontlines.” He would have to be in Baghdad, not in the Green Zone, patroling some street wondering if his balls might get blown off.
June 14th, 2007 at 5:26 pmJeb in ‘08!
June 14th, 2007 at 5:40 pmBush and Cheney are blood sucking and blood spilling vampires. They will spill other people’s blood so Halliburton can get no bid government contracts but not the blood of their family. These scum bags take and rape this country blind giving nothing back but debt, death and destruction. They should be under the jail instead of in the White House
June 14th, 2007 at 5:43 pmha ha ha , front lines allright , ha ha ha… in Albania…lost his watch! ha ha ha….someone stole Il Duce’s hat! Ha ha ha…
June 14th, 2007 at 5:55 pmTo everyone who is criticizing the Dems:
Do the math. They don’t have the numbers to overturn a presidential veto. There’s only a one vote majority in the senate. Many on the far Left act as if all the Dems need to do to end the war is to pass a bill with a simple majority. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.
The Dems in ‘06 never said they would be able to end the war. The anti-war camp imposd their own hopes upon them and now act like betrayed ex-lovers. The ‘06 election was about oversight and accountability. You want an end to the war? VOTE DEMOCRAT in ‘08, give them the White House and a super majority in congress. Until then, they are Constitutionally powerless to override Bush’s certain veto. Don’t get me wrong. I’m very displeased with the leadership and the way they handd a PR victory with the recent spending bill. Reid should go as majority leader.
If you abandon the Democratic party next time (like so many did in 2000) you will ensure that the Republicans keep power. Just think, if 2-3% of the Floridians who voted for Nader in 2000 had pulled their heads from the sand and voted for Gore instead, G.W. would never have been elected, we would not be stuck in Iraq, the Supreme Court would not be packed with ultra conservaties and we would have speant the last six and a half years figting global warming.
Elections matter. Don’t waste your vote on a far left third party candidate. In our system, that’s a de facto vote for a Republican and for more war.
June 14th, 2007 at 6:04 pmIf the folks in the White House are watching Fox News, their “favorite” network, they must be getting very little about Iraq. I would guess that Bush and Co. are up to date on the Paris Hilton saga or any missing white girls though.
June 14th, 2007 at 6:08 pmthat looks suspiciously like a beer that our “sober” commander guy is drinking in the picture….
June 14th, 2007 at 6:11 pmAren’t we done with this f***er yet?
June 14th, 2007 at 6:31 pmFrontlines, my ass. The one time this simian was under attack, he hid out in a grade school in his big brother’s redneck of the woods.
Tony Snow, are you a complete idiot or are you simply paid obscenely large amounts of cash to pretend you’re that stupid?
June 14th, 2007 at 6:39 pmI thought I would miss these endearing “Snow Jobs” when he had to leave with his cancer. I didn’t. Now he’s back and as disgusting as ever. No wonder this guy’s being eaten alive from the inside. You can smell evil in the air just watching him over the internet(s).
June 14th, 2007 at 6:40 pmThe picture of bushwhacker looks like an alcoholic holding a beer. Maybe, all his fk-ups before this election came from being on a ‘dry drunk’. Looks like he decided to ‘wet’ it down, so his decisions (sic) since then may be alcohol-fueled.
June 14th, 2007 at 6:41 pmSo what’s Snow gonna say when and if Bosch leaves office? “Life is not worth living without George Bush.” Isn’t that what Goebbels said about Adolph in the bunker just before the doc gave the kids a nice eternal holiday?
June 14th, 2007 at 6:56 pmSnow wants to spend some of the final days of his life aiding and abetting a tyrant? Oh yes, and Bosch and his wife were dancing on a stage about 10 days ago, smiling and laughing and having a heckuva time, showing their devoted support of the troops, who keep dying in the streets of Baghdad. That’s real front line combat action, yes? Heck, Bosch won’t even visit Baghdad now because he knows he would be bombed to hell and back. Things are looking up, though, and he’s very encouraged that he will achieve a victory that he will soon redefine, so he can win before 08.
Hey, George was stationed with me in Vietnam…..oh shit, sorry, wrong George.
June 14th, 2007 at 6:57 pmI have an idea–how about no August recess for the President? Since he is concerned about the war EVERYDAY, why not just skip his usual late July-August-early September break at Crawford…He can watch in his comfortable chair in the oval office for any “progress” being made. My nephew’s tour was extended from April through Sept to who knows when, and it’s the least Bush can do. David won’t get a break in August and has to endure 115 degree heat complete with IEDs.
June 14th, 2007 at 7:00 pmIs that a beer? Certainly looks like it. Does anyone really know?
Any normal person would HAVE to be coming apart in all this.
This man has sent soldiers to their deaths in a war of choice. It does not get any worse than that in the human soul. And upon that fact the war has been totally and completely mismanaged from the victory trap.
Haven’t any of these people ever studied the history of warfare?
The drive into Baghdad was essentially the good ‘ole collapse of the Roman center or like over extending strategic reserves in a World War I battle. These idiots were sucker punched. One of the oldest military tricks in human history.
Forget WMD’s. They should have secured the conventional weapons caches FIRST! Duh! Just amazing!
After Stalingrad the Bavarian corporal teatotaller Hitler started drinking a beer ever night to sleep. I wonder when “Commander Guy” will start to come apart at the seams and one beer will start to become two to take off the edge?
Remember, LBJ started to come apart at the seams in 1968 and decided not to run. But this guy has no way out now.
But Chaney, he has an iron psyche and would send every person of military age (which now might just go up to 60) to their death if he could. There is no price too big to pay for monstrous momma’s boy ideologues of this magnitude.
We are in deep s**t, folks.
A fellow veteran sent me a collection of some of the new underground GI newspapers today in PDF format.
I would saw the limit has been reached. And the military is now going to start to hit Vietnam levels of dissent in the ranks. And very soon. Heck, there are now General who are speaking out like General David M. Shoup in the 1960’s at the height of the Vietnam War.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_M._Shoup
We are now there people. Over this next year it is all now going to start to come apart at the seams. We are at the breaking point. It is time to get in the streets.
June 14th, 2007 at 7:00 pmWTF is bush drinking?
BUSTED!
June 14th, 2007 at 7:15 pm2002 days since any attack on American soil.
Sorry I forgot to add today. Thanks President Bush!
June 14th, 2007 at 7:24 pmTony Snow is such a disgusting twerp. I wish he were back at Faux News, then I wouldn’t have to see him so much.
June 14th, 2007 at 7:26 pmHow does Mr. Snow continue his white house “spin” when he knows how ill he is? I would be doing all I could to get right with my “Maker” to attempt to earn a reprieve.
June 14th, 2007 at 7:45 pmBush’s war, which is causing so much pain and suffering - death and dying- maiming and poverty is wrongful. Mr. Snow, you know that.
Cowardly Bush will not get within 10,000 miles of the frontline. Remember how brave he was shouting “Bring it on!” from the safety of the White House. I would like to see him say that in Baghdad, outside the Green zone without 100 heavily armed soldiers, sharpshooters on the roof, & helicopters overhead.
June 14th, 2007 at 7:57 pmSnow sounds like he got his training from BAGDAD BOB..
June 14th, 2007 at 7:59 pmI would like to see him say that in Baghdad, outside the Green zone without 100 heavily armed soldiers, sharpshooters on the roof, & helicopters overhead.
Comment by Uncle Ho
June 14th, 2007 at 8:11 pmOf course you would do the same right chickenshit
Read “armed madhouse” by Greg Palast.
June 14th, 2007 at 8:19 pmBush is on the frontlines alright… The frontlines of protecting big oil interest in seeing Iraq oil production kept at a minimum. What’s happened while this war has systematically been bungled??? Big oil profits have tripled…
Why??? Because Iraq oil production has been kept down below “oil for food” levels. As long as Iraqi oil production stays low big oil profits remain sky high.
Why??? Supply & demand.
Peace.
Bush is a Monster. He drinks blood and Oil.
He is a coward.
June 14th, 2007 at 8:27 pmA more specific question would be why isnt George P. Bush, nephew of George W. Bush serving in iraq? He certainly didn’t mind campaigning for his Uncle Dubba in 2004 at which time he repeated his full support for his Uncle Dubba’s occupation of Iraq.
So Mr. Dictator…opps, I mean President, why isn’t your nephew over there? And while we are at it, why aren’t your daughters there doging bullets like my sons are?
The answer is simple; All neocons and all Republicans are cowardly liars. I say we lock them all up for treason.
June 14th, 2007 at 8:33 pmWhat? Bush is now fighting side-by-side with our Army and Marines in Iraq? Isn’t that the “front lines”?
Signed: Military returning from Iraq in coffins draped with flags, the very coffins that the press are not allowed to show. That’s because these coffins don’t shine a positive light on our man/child president, mr. george w bush.
June 14th, 2007 at 8:44 pm#128 When he isn’t drinking alcohol. I think it is obvious that he was never striken sober.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:09 pmHey what happened to the pic of bush holding his half full glass of booze.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:09 pmDid the white house call up and complain it showed drunken bush is off the wagon again. I bet he couldnt pass a drug test either.
Someone Should Just Shoot Cheney And Bush….
June 14th, 2007 at 9:09 pmI’m a DESERT STORM vet, I also actually served in the Texas Air National Guard (!) and all I have to say is What Do We Do? Yeah, the Petroleum Distribution Law is designed to turn Iraqi oil over to US companies. Yeah, our presence is inciting violence. IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE IT BETTER? I see Iran becoming stronger, run by a nutcase President, while we’re getting weaker, run by a nutcase President. And now Hamas is taking over Gaza while Hezbollah makes a play for Lebanon. Syria is competing with Iran for the Assassination Assh*le Sweepstakes. Russia threatens Europe’s natural gas supply. China is sucking up Iran’s oil. WHAT CAN WE DO???
June 14th, 2007 at 9:17 pmBush knows he rules over a nation of cowards, otherwise his head would be paraded up and down Pennsylvania Avenue!
June 14th, 2007 at 9:58 pmYeah. George W Wuss is on the Frontline and I am the President of US.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:14 pmYeah. George W Wuss is on the Frontline and I am the President of USA.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:15 pm#109
June 14th, 2007 at 11:58 pmThe Dems did not have to try to override a presidential veto. They sent Bush a funding bill for the war with a timetable for withdrawal and he vetoed it. They did not have to send another bill - he cannot veto a bill that does not exist. Instead, paralysed with fear about what the GOP and radio talk show hosts would say about them over the Memorial Day weekend if they did not fund the war, the Dems caved and sent Bush the blank check for his war they had sworn not to.
We voted against the war in November the only way we could - by voting Democratic - and look where it got us. The war is not only continuing, but escalating, or “surging”, and the Dems are ignoring the views of the people who voted for them.
I worked for the Democratic party locally in the last elections - what a fool I was. They have not made any difference to anything. They are gutless cowards who cannot think of anything except keeping their well-paid jobs and their limos. Not a single one of them will stand up and fight for us. There is no opposition to the Bush administration. It is sickening. I want no part of the Democratic party ever again.
Tony snow is doom to go to hell where bush and cheney already have reservations.
Comment by Ken — June 14, 2007 @ 4:55 pm
In fact, they booked the Presidential Suites. How fitting. Cheney’s is right next to Nixon’s.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:29 amWhen asked by PBS’s Jim Lehrer why he hasn’t called on more Americans to sacrifice for the war, Bush claimed that Americans have had to “sacrifice peace of mind when they see the terrible image of violence on TV every night.â€
Yes, but you didn’t ask them to sacrifice that “peace of mind.” You did, however, asks many of our soldiers to sacrifice a “piece of mind”.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:31 amEveryone on hear who helped the Dems take control of Congress now has blood on their hands. Enjoy it folks. YOU helped continue the war. YOU should be proud………
Comment by COMMENT BY JIM — June 14, 2007 @ 1:29 pm
With all due respect, JIM, I helped John Hall get elected and he voted against this non-war-ending bill. I did not help continue the war. And as a matter of fact, I am proud.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:34 amGive Tony Snow a break. The chemotherapy is obviously affecting his brain.
June 15th, 2007 at 2:22 amThere’s only one family member of this administration strong enough, tough enough, butch enough and with sufficient balls to actually fight in combat. But cut Mary Cheney some slack, she’s pregnant.
June 15th, 2007 at 2:55 amI used to comment on Bush, but he is so far removed from any link with reality that there is no point. I could not insult him if I tried. My most harsh critisism would not do justice to how bad the man is.
The dems and the GOP and the mainstream media are stuffed full of lying chicken hawks who should be flown to the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan, given sub-standard armour and faulty weaponry and told to show us all exactly how wonderfully their policies are working in the real world.
The ONLY saviour for your failed republic, and for the once free world, is the election of Ron Paul.
June 15th, 2007 at 5:10 amsmeat75, and all the other democrats or former democrats who voted to end the war, you really should look into what Ron Paul has to say, i am sure that you will like it. Then tell all your friends.
June 15th, 2007 at 5:13 amDoes flying into Baghdada in the middle of the night with a fake turkey and getting the hell out of dodge within 12 hours not constitue being on the front lines?? LOL
June 15th, 2007 at 7:44 amhahahaha Tony Snow, you crack me up.
Wait, he was serious? What?
June 15th, 2007 at 9:46 amRepublicans = Party of war losers. cowardly anti-American bastards
June 15th, 2007 at 10:58 amTony snow is the canary in the White House coal mine. Tony Snow is the Dorian Gray portrait of this administration. Tony Snow will have his Lee Atwater moment…..long after that train has left the station.
June 15th, 2007 at 11:16 amSure bush is on the front lines.. everyday.. selling off the USA and working hard to abolish our borders and wipe away our national Sovereignty with his promotion of the North American Union!!
Prepare for new national borders and a new currency.. by 2010!!
http://nauinfo.blogspot.com/
June 15th, 2007 at 11:58 amFlaco - Two questions for you. First, what education level are you? Secondly, what branch of the military did you serve and did you do a tour in Iraq. Anybody as supportive as you are of this President needs to put his body where his mouth is. So if you are not in the Army, join you warmongering jerk. You’ll continue to allow poor kids with little other options in life die to protect your smug, republican butt.
Another question, what’s the most recent book you have read and do you get your news and facts from any other source than Fox News?
As others have pointed out, your President was on watch when the worse domestic terriorist attack occurred, this despite the hit over the head with a warning that all but said, “Hey, you vacationing idiot, take time out from your three month endeaveor to read “My Pet Goat” and prepare, Al Queda is going to attack the World Trade Center”. Bush is the Inspector Closeau of Presidents.
It’s people like you, those who follow leaders blindlessly, that allow facists like Cheney and Bush to ruin countries and commit the atrocities that they have. The consequences of this war will be felt by our children’s children and their children also. Bush and Cheney have put a target on aeveryican citizen, especially those who travel or work oversees! In your world, if this were 1944, and you were German, you would still be hailing the achievements of your Fuerer. Your loyalty should be with your country, not an incompetent leader.
Alos, political debate requires an exchange of ideas and facts, not smug replies that only include simplistic words and insults. Try to offer a citation that is prima facie proof of your President’s achievement, which, if based on fact, iis impossible. In the real world that the rest of us live in, he has failed in every category of leadership and administration. If Bush and Cheney were third world leaders, they woulld be tried as war criminals, and there is no disputing that. Of course, you know more than the other 95% of the world’s inhabitants. So keep your smug attitude and you’ll get the country you deserve, a dictatorship where the gov’t. would know when you potty, when you eat and control what you believe. Like every other civilization before us, the U.S. will rot from within, not from outside agression, because citizens like you were blind to it’s decline in freedoms and values. Laugh on, Dude, but seriously, read some books on world history and politics, enlightment is a cool thing!
June 15th, 2007 at 12:03 pmBottom line, Flaco, you’re retorts are in line with, “Oh Yeah?!?!”. Where’s the beef?!?!?!?
June 15th, 2007 at 12:10 pmSnow is dying of Cancer and has to get maximum spin and lies in before he cashes it. Simple.
Sick of this Administration? Sign every email you send: ” Dear Congressman Impeach Bush and Cheney in 07, or be removed in 08.” Friends the time for half-measures is way past over. Email your congressfolk everyday.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:32 pmThat was truly disgusting and dispicable. These people who give out the orders safely inside the White House to our troops have no idea what it’s like to watch one of your own die in war. I am sick and tired of these scumbags and can’t wait until they get what’s coming to them. Please tell me how the president knows what it’s like in Iraq when he’s too coward to go over there and find out! Tony Snow is a scumbag, Dick Cheney (The first word in his name describes what he is) and George Bush is a scumbag to.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:34 pmSmeat75 Comment #138
Right on. Right the f*ck on. I too will never vote for another Democrat. I was furious the first time when they authorized bush to go to war - but I thought well, now they’ve realized their mistakes (Hillary didn’t - she insists she was LIED TO - give me a break - I knew the war was a sham before it was declared - anyone who has a BRAIN knew the war was a sham) and now they’re going to stop this thing. But no. How many times will we allow them to let us down before we stop supporting them? They ARE gutless, spineless and pathetic. It makes me furious they are using my (our) tax dollars to NOT represent us. Done, done, done. Never again.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:34 pmMembers of the administration have been playing mind games so long they probably really believe Bush is “in the war”. But as Bush’s father said long ago, George has too short of an attention span to finish anything he starts. In 18 months Bush is history. Bad history, but that’s an improvement over what we’ve had for 6.5 years. [Looks like old Red States denizens are still attempting to rewrite history.]
June 15th, 2007 at 2:01 pmSnow will be dead soon, from CANCER, that is Gods retribution for this lying piece of crap!
June 15th, 2007 at 2:05 pmBeetle Bailey Bush………………………..
June 16th, 2007 at 4:13 amBush wants illegals for his ranch hands, since he is unwilling to pay an
June 16th, 2007 at 4:17 amAmerican wage to American ranch hands. If there is a hell, I’m confident Bush will spend his eternity there.
Every day I read horrendous stories from GIs, support staff and family members at thomasfbarton@earthlink.net
Here’s today’s horror story. Check it out, then send Tony, Condo Slezzah, Dickhead & the whole Bush crew to Camp Lejune to do their “service”:
Military Families & Troops Poisoned By Command At Lejeune;
June 12, 2007 by Kimberly Hefling, Associated Press
Marine families who lived at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina over three decades drank water contaminated with toxins as much as 40 times over today’s safety standard, federal health investigators said Tuesday.
The government disclosed results from a new scientific study on the same day that some families testified for Congress about cancers and other illnesses they blame on drinking tainted tap water at the sprawling training and deployment base.
The House Energy and Commerce panel, which held the hearing, described the sickened Marines as “poisoned patriots.â€
At least 850 former residents of the base have filed administrative claims, seeking nearly $4 billion, for exposure to the industrial solvents TCE and PCE that contaminated Camp Lejeune’s drinking wells before 1987.
“My wife and I now have new full-time careers just staying alive and figuring out how to pay for it all,†former Navy Dr. Michael Gros of Spring, Texas, said. He was stunned to learn years after his work in the 1980s as an obstetrician and gynecologist at Camp Lejeune that he had a rare non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
June 16th, 2007 at 12:38 pmWaauw, the spokesperson of the White House is answering questions in metaphors. Not even the kind that hides the childish nature of your comment. If Bush is on the front lines of the War every day, that must mean the enemy has come home to the Oval office and Camp David after all! I told you they were lying. Maybe they were speaking in metaphors…. who knows.
June 16th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
