Snow clears up what Bush hasn’t done in the Middle East.

In today’s White House press briefing, a reporter asked Tony Snow whether the President “feels any responsibility” for the Palestinian split. Snow’s unilluminating response:

I think what you really need to be thinking about is the President of the United States did not bind people’s hands behind their back and throw them from rooftops. The President of the United States did not mascarade around with masks pulled over the face and slay people who disagreed with Hamas.

    … that we know of.

    OK, we’ll concede that point.


  3. HeckuvahJob Brownie says:

    no, but what he did do, is tantamount to that! (morally)


  4. upside00 says:

    What we did in Eastern Europe CIA prisons and in Gitmo doesn’t count, right?


  5. leftcoast says:

    Bush decided to end diplomatic relations. Abbas did not stop the raiding of coffers and his party lived an oppulent lifestyle. Hamas took advantage. It will happen in the West Bank because we are repeating the same policy.


  6. Doc Rock says:

    Snow shuld have responded: “Clinton did it!”


  7. bilbo says:

    Israel should come forward and admit to dressing as Hamas members and firing on Fatah (or vice versa) in order to get Muslims to kill Muslims.

    Again, why do we support Israel?

    Why is the USA controlled and run by dual-citizenship holding Israelis at the highest levels?

    You want peace in the world? Stop supporting Israel.

    Prez run….?


  10. Arne Langsetmo says:

    Ummm, he also didn’t rape dead boys in the Rose Garden after tearing their jugulars out with his teeth. And he didn’t eat Jenna’s and not-Jenna’s livers served with fried Vidalia onions washed down with a fine glass of their urine.

    OTOH…. there is this (amongst other tidbits [and other little bits] in the article):

    “Belcher blamed the “cowardice” of Al Qaeda for the deaths, accusing the group of not allowing the children to leave the compound.”

    Cheers,

    Before li’l bush slithers out of office, he will have the distinction of wrecking the peace in more countries in the Mideast than all the other presidents in our historyhave done in the rest of the world.


  12. Damian says:

    Hell yeah! We don’t talk to bad guys. Those guys are bad guys. You don’t see Bush doing that kind of stuff, so he’s a good guy. Plus, he’s a Merikan. They’re not.

    Next question!

    But does the King feel any responsibility for the Palestinian split…?

    At least come close to answering, Snowflake.

    Wait! I’m lost. He’s left the Republican party to run for President as . . . a Democrat? WTF?

    So, rather than face an election where a New York Senator is running against the former mayor of New York City, we get an election where two ex-mayors of NYC are running against each other? Will anyone outside the boroughs bother to vote?

    Well, the first time I heard about him was after that most recent ‘terrorist’ attempt, you know with the blowing up of the jet fuel lines to JFK.

    http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_155160642.html

    At a time when the Bush administration is using fear to keep us under their thumb, it’s nice to see someone tell the truth. I don’t know anything about his other policies, just this one thing, and that he sees BushCo as a huge failure.

    Sounds good to me so far.

    He’s got a good point. We have no proof and no suggestion that the President did any of those things.

    So I guess he really is a good president, after all.

  40. veritas says:

    #38 We all know that we could have found OBL in a heartbeat – if we wanted to. The fact that the Bin Laden’s and Bush’s are “best buds” really complicates that scenario though, doesn’t it?

    After all, it was OBL’s brother who was King Georgie’s first business partner in an oil company he tanked….Arbusto Energy. Google it to find out the scuttlebut.

    As well, he was somehow involved when Shrub Jr. had to be bailed out of Harken Energy stock (another company of Bush’s which turned to hammered $hit).

  46. AngryOne says:

    That wheezing sound you may have heard this week amid the chaos in Gaza, the carnage in Baghdad and the conflict in Lebanon was the final gasps of the Bush Doctrine in its death throes. Just two years after the President and his neo-conservative allies basked in the glow of their self-proclaimed moment of triumph, the Bush Doctrine of no safe havens for terrorists, American preventive war and democracy promotion is discredited, discarded – and dead.

    For the details, see:

    Army considers longer combat tours again
    By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer
    14 minutes ago

    WASHINGTON – The Army is considering whether it will have to extend the combat tours of troops in Iraq if President Bush opts to maintain the recent buildup of forces through spring 2008.

    Two months ago, back in April, 2007, our troops’ stay was extended from 12 to 15 months. Back then, the “good” news was that at least they would know when their stay would end.

    And it’s going to get worse. a lot worse.


  52. Jackie says:

    Tony is really earning that pay check. Bush is now starving people with they don’t do as he says. Now if only the Middle East would turn over their oil rights and work for slave pay then they would be taken care of. Look in Africa the problem is diamonds and for that millions of African people die. If they did as they were told by the Bush Administration they would be better off. Tony Snow is a fool and lying makes him look worse. He should go back to the Bush station Fox news were lying is normal reporting. Just ask Charles Gibson who works for the other Bush station ABC.



  53. leftcoast says:

    Our government needs to change, not continue on with the same ideological path. According to the Borgen Project, we have already spent $340 billion on the Iraq war. Endorsing other campaigns as fruitless as the Iraq war is a mistake.

    To really get at the root of national security, global poverty needs to be addressed. The problem isn’t terrorism, it’s the extreme poverty that people live in that fosters the ideology. Coupled with our foreign policy, no good can come out of it all. If our government really wanted to halt terror, war and genocide, it would spend money on helping lesser-developed nations grow economically. Supporting the Millennium Development Goals to end global poverty would be more beneficial than starting wars all over the Middle East and creating more anti-Western sentiment.

    Yup, they DO. But they are obviously paid trolls hired to post “messages” that disrupt the REAL CONVERSATION TOPIC at hand, and result to personal insult.

    THAT’S when I tell them that Bush is a TRAITOR coxucker PUNK.

    Because all they can do is attack YOU or ME.

    But if you tell the TRUTH about their hero, they REALLY GET PISSED.

    Especially “tracy”. Still tries the “Plame was NOT COVERT, and Libby should be PARDONED because he committed NO CRIME” bullzhit…

    But if you are going to even RESPOND to the trolls at all (not useful anyway), tell them WHAT A TRAITOR Bush is.

    OVER AND OVER AND OVER like Karl Rove would do to Clinton.

    Jesus then will tell Bush: “I NEVER KNEW you. And YOU in hell for ETERNITY will INDEED be HEAVENLY
    “.

    Don’t blame Gummitch. A couple of days of television and your brain is bounding all over. And now you have me singing, “The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers a wonderful thing!” or something like that.

    Joker > LOL you are a brain-dead-fool Bush Regime lover. I do not get paid by anybody to post on here. What Bush did in Fallujah was/is a war crime. Dropping phospherous bombs on civilians is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

    Jay, Joker hijacked a different thread about RNC emails with his insanity. Pay no attention.


  112. big papa says:

    Back on topic:

    I find it amazing…

    …watching and listening to the reports of Bushiva and Olmert’s propaganda photo-op…

    …no one mentions how:

    because they didn’tlikethe OUTCOME of the DEMOCRATIC elections (Hamas’ rise)…

    … BOTH Bushiva and ohlmert failed to FUND (or support in any way) Abbas’ Fatah govt…

    …leading to where the Palestinians are today…

    …MORE evidence that the media has become just as much the people’s enemy…

    …as the fascist conservatives who occupy our gov’t…

    Don’t listen to Zooey, she’s an antiCalite. Some of us LOVE California. My daughter and I will be spending 6 weeks in LA this summer. I wish I knew how to type razzberries.

    shane,
    You’re just mad that I’ve expopsed the Democrats as agents of Iran.
    You’re a brainwashed fool!
    The Islamic media has convinced you to hate your fellow Americans.
    Bush is a Saudi agent meant to blind you Islamic control of America!


  123. toasterhead says:

    Your statement was correct up until this point.

    Comment by toasterhead — June 19, 2007 @ 10:04 pm

    Yeah, Bush is Saudi OIL WHOREBAG, sucker of Saudi COX, and licker of Saudi azzholes like the Bin Ladens.

    There you go. Statement CORRECTED.


  125. Wayne says:

    Comment by Zooey

    All 2 of my 3 sons play guitar, one is a drummer.
    My daughter never wanted to learn, for some reason, she was more into art.

    Yeah, he called me on Fathers Day to tell me.
    Was really cool =)


  126. The Joker says:

    Mr. Bush Goes To Hell,
    SI agree with you.
    However the Democrats are run by Iranian oil money.
    Our government is under Islamic control.
    Like I said It’s Shia Democrats against Sunni Republicans.
    Patriots like you and I should organize against this!


  127. toasterhead says:

    The Islamic media has convinced you to hate your fellow Americans.

    Comment by The Joker — June 19, 2007 @ 10:01 pm

    And which Islamic media do you mean? Are you talking about the Fox News attempt to take over al-Jazeera? Cause Fox News has definitely convinced me to hate, or at least severely pity, about 28% of my fellow Americans.


  128. The Joker says:

    toasterhead,
    Sio you deny Iranian control of the Democrats.
    Atre you that brainwashed that you can’t see our nation is runned by Muslims?
    Both parties are traitors!


  129. toasterhead says:

    Our government is under Islamic control.

    That’s great, Wayne! Congratulations. Are they going to name the child after you (us)? ;)


  132. The Joker says:

    toasterhead,
    The Islamic media is Fox News(Saudi Interests), MSNBC(Iranian Interests), CNN(Iranian Intersts), CBS News(Iranian Interests), ABC(Saudi Interests), NY Times( Iranian Interests) and Washington Posts(Saudi Interests).
    I feel sorry for the 28% that follw the Saudicrats and the 23% that support the Dhimmicrat Congress.


  133. Art says:

    He also didn’t do the hokey pokey and shake it all about.


  134. daganium says:

    Israel should come forward and admit to dressing as Hamas members and firing on Fatah (or vice versa) in order to get Muslims to kill Muslims.

    Again, why do we support Israel?

    Why is the USA controlled and run by dual-citizenship holding Israelis at the highest levels?

    You want peace in the world? Stop supporting Israel.

    Comment by bilbo — June 19, 2007 @ 7:01 pm

    ********

    What bullshit. The USA supports Israel because it’s the only democracy that ever has been–or ever will be–in the Middle East.

    Please enlighten us as to how abandoning Israel will help America.

    “Israel sucks & is to blame for everything” is an enduring liberal talking point that is ridiculous.

    And I’m a middle of the road progressive saying this, not some wingnut fundie.

    thanks=)

    Not sure if its a boy or girl yet and not so sure if my daughter-in-law would go for Waynette
    She might beat me up if I suggested that LOL.


  136. The Joker says:

    daganium,
    The Leftists who say this are frauds.
    They aren’t real Patriotic Leftists like you.
    They are Islamic agents using divide and confuse tactics to blind us from the truth.
    The Muslims control America!

    You are confused.
    The real question is can you prove anything you are saying?
    The other question is where did you learn English?

    A family friend is named Zoey ( one o, and she is a she ), so that might be a posibility, heh

  144. Misty Fowler says:

    Wait, I thought (according to Tony Snow) that Bush was on the Frontlines?


  145. had enough says:

    doesn’t it appear Rove is keeping Snow, who looks worse by the day, out there so maybe the press may not be so hard on the questions? That poor sick man should not be going through this. Leave it to the neocons to exploit illness also.


  146. loretta says:

    Tony Snow is sick for one reason and one reason only–
    you cannot live a life such as his, with nothing but lies coming out of your person, without it eventually manifesting itself within your person in some way. So, he only has himself to blame.
    Now, as for his statement–WE KNOW that George Bush is not lurking around doing battle with idealogical foes–WE ALL REMEMBER that he was a DRAFT DODGER. Too chicken to defend his country during the time he should have….he left that responsibility to those less fortunate than he…..he made OTHERS DO HIS FIGHTING FOR HIM……
    SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.


  147. Kate Henry says:

    I think that cancer has invaded Tony Snow’s brain. Every day that goes by he is making less and less sense. It’s time to retire Tony before you make a complete and utter fool of yourself. Oh…too late, you have already done that. But, I don’t think you want to continue doing that day after day.


  148. Evil Spaniard says:

    We know. Bush has never been in a battlefield.


  149. Tim says:

    Given the Bush administrations type of spin on almost every issue. If Tony Snow says Bush didn’t do these things, it means Bush ordered someone else to do it. These guys want an unstable middle east and never ending war under the guise of promoting democracy.


  150. Jen Mayers says:

    That is correct. He didn’t do any of those things himself, he just send other people to do his job for him.


  151. jenna say quoi? says:

    It might have already been said in the previous 150 comments, but:

    it’s “masquerade”, not “mascarade”. Jesus.
