Perino: Bush Plans To Brush Aside Iraq Disagreements During Meeting With The Pope

Today, Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Washington, DC. He will become the second pontiff ever to visit the White House, where he will meet privately with President Bush in the Oval Office. The event is just the 25th meeting between a pope and a sitting president.

Pope Benedict has severely criticized the Bush administration’s war in Iraq. “Nothing positive comes from Iraq, torn apart by continual slaughter as the civil population flees,” he said in his 2007 Easter message.

During today’s White House press briefing, spokeswoman Dana Perino brushed aside the two men’s disagreements over the Iraq war, saying that they don’t have “prolonged conversations about it.” She also attempted to claim that the Pope has accepted Bush’s so-called “surge” strategy. She added, not surprisingly, that Bush doesn’t want to spend a lot of time talking about the war:

PERINO: Obviously, there was a difference of opinion, back in 2003 and beyond, in subsequent years. But now I think that there is an understanding that, with the strategy that’s working in Iraq right now, that the most important thing we can do is help to solidify the situation, root it into freedom and democracy, so that people of religious minorities who — I’m sorry, people of religious faith who are minorities in their countries can practice freely and be free from persecution. [...]

I really don’t think that the president is planning to spend a lot of time talking about the issues of Iraq with the pope.

Watch it:

Pope Benedict’s predecessor, the late Pope John Paul II, was also a fierce critic of the U.S. invasion. In January 2003, he called war “a defeat for humanity” and said it should not be pursued “except as the very last option and in accordance with very strict conditions, without ignoring the consequences for the civilian population both during and after the military operations.”

Transcript:

QUESTION: Yes, actually, I wanted to follow on the subject that you spoke of for the meeting. Last year in his Easter message, the pope said, Nothing positive comes from Iraq. How does the president speak to the Holy Father about that subject?

PERINO: Well, they have a relationship that is based on trust and they are able to have frank conversations. I will say that — well, Iraq has come up in the past when the president has talked to the pope. As I understand it, they’re not long — they’re not prolonged conversations about it.

Obviously, there was a difference of opinion, back in 2003 and beyond, in subsequent years. But now I think that there is an understanding that, with the strategy that’s working in Iraq right now, that the most important thing we can do is help to solidify the situation, root it into freedom and democracy, so that people of religious minorities who — I’m sorry, people of religious faith who are minorities in their countries can practice freely and be free from persecution.

And that is something that they share. I expect them to touch on that a little bit.

QUESTION: But on the war, you expect them to say, We just politely disagree. Let’s move on?

PERINO: I don’t expect any public conversation about it, but they will have a one-on-one meeting in the Oval Office. And it’s possible that it could come up. I won’t rule it out. But I don’t think it will be — I don’t think it will dominate the conversation in any way. [...]

QUESTION: Dana, back to Iraq, I was struck by what you said, that the most important thing we can do now is to sort of — is it basically finish and to bring about peace.

And I wonder, will the president try to make that case to the pope? In other words, even though he may have disagreed with the decision to invade Iraq, that will he now try to find common ground in this way to say, Look, the best thing we can do there now is …

(CROSSTALK)

PERINO: I really don’t think that the president is planning to spend a lot of time talking about the issues of Iraq with the pope. There’s many different issues that they can talk about, all the ones that I listed before in response to Jennifer’s question.

But I do think at the root cause — the root issue of terrorism and extremism is something that they will talk about. And the president will thank Pope Benedict for deciding to go and visit Ground Zero and pay his respects there. And the president thinks that’s a very important gesture.

    Yeah , seeing as how Chimpy is such a well-rounded and knowledgeable , prudent man ………….

    WTF is this empty-headed stupid bimbo talking about ?


  2. dbadass says:

    bitblt,
    Is it a good idea to disagree with the Pope? How about you Daryll? Isn’t the Pope’s God gonna be a little pissed?


  3. tom says:

    Dana Bimborino — stuck on stupid. Just like her boss.


  4. RUCerious says:

    Yesterday, I heard on the radio that Bush was hosting a birthdya dinner for the Pope, but he isn’t coming. Doesn’t have anything else on the calendar, but doesn’t care to break bread with the chympDemon. Har, har!


  5. raynman says:

    He’s just another Pontiff… its not like he has any sort of moral authority or anything like that…..

    /snark


  6. RUCerious says:

    birthdya = birthday…


  7. Uncle Ho says:

    Bush will brush aside the Pope about Iraq.

    well, why not?

    Bush has brushed aside the US Constitution, Congress, the American people. Why should the Pope be any different?


  8. dlet says:

    that the most important thing we can do is help to solidify the situation, root it into freedom and democracy, so that people of religious minorities who — I’m sorry, people of religious faith who are minorities in their countries can practice freely and be free from persecution.

    So she’s saying that Bush is selling the war to the Pope promising that Iraq will be safer for Christians. Great sell. I am sure that will go over quite well in the Middle East.


  9. celtic cynic says:

    According to Dana: Nothing to see here, just go away, leave us elite alone, we’re in charge of and in control of the whole world, we don’t harm other people, we are truly God’s chosen people, we don’t spin the truth or tell any lies…


  10. Tired of being lied to says:

    “But now I think that there is an understanding that, with the strategy that’s working in Iraq right now, that the most important thing we can do is help to solidify the situation…”

    So she’s saying that because we have increased the number of troops, so more people on both sides can die, and we are still there blowing things up, that this is now more acceptable to the Pope? Like, more war waged longer is preferable to what existed before?

    Interesting logic. Or whatever Perino and Bush call it.


  11. LividLib says:

    looks like dana perineum is wearing her beer pop-top necklace again. dumbass gave it to her. it’s her favorite!


  12. tom says:

    I’m sure GDumbya will find all kinds of other things to talk with the Pope about:

    1) why do you wear that pointy hat?

    2) how come you speak Italian?

    3) don’t you ever get a little horny?

    4) how about them Cardinals? do ya think they’ll take the Series this year?

    5) where can you get good pizza in this town?

    6) have you got a few billion dollars to spare?

    You know. Stuff like that.

    The Pope doesn’t represent me. He represents satan by informing his so called flock to worship idols and explaining that he is the only direct messenger from Jesus. I wish he would leave because his presence is ruining the traffic on I-66 and I-95.

    What’s the difference between you and the Pope , shithead ?

    Well , besides the funny hat and stupid outfits ; you need someone to dress you ………..

    The Pope has protected pedophile priests in the Catholic church , and you attempt to protect pedophiles in the horseshit GOP ; what and where’s the difference ?

    Most clergyman are beginning to understand that we must win this war.

    April 15th, 2008 at 5:22 pm

    Name one that isn’t a Chimpy leg humper like your stupid self ; I’m betting you can’t , jackass……….


  16. dbadass says:

    HeY Daryll.
    Thanks for once again enlightening me. You are my bestest spiritual advisor. Now that you have sort of set me straight with the Catholics, can you tell me what is up with the Quakers? My mom is one and she doesn’t seem to have sufficient blood lust. Is it just her or is this some sort of weird Quaker thing?

    Then why is the pope wasting his time coming here?

    This particular opinion is based on what, exactly, Daryll? I mean, are there any facts at all wandering around in your brain?


  20. dbadass says:

    Daryll,
    You know I have this thing about evidences to support alledged truths, so please… Do Tell.. Seems to me just some more of the same. I figure Santeria is about as truthy

  22. mycatsmarterthanDubya says:

    For tom @14. Here are a few more questions for Dubya to ask the Pope.

    7) are you wearin’ any underwear?

    8) any bald priests hangin’ around?

    9) can I try on your beanie?

    10) can I look up your dress?


  23. MCMetal says:

    Who in the hell is “Pastor Jennings” , daryll dipshit ?


  24. fletc3her says:

    Ahh, so that’s what, justification number forty five or so. We’re really fighting in Iraq to protect people of faith who are minorities in that country. I guess all that sectarian violence and neighborhood segregation is part of the master plan then. Protect the minorities by making things as difficult as possible for them. Job well done. Mission Accomplished. Now can we get out, please?

    So those who support the war are leg humpers, but those who are like Jeremiah Wright are the true preachers. Know your fruits.

    When have I ever “extolled the virtues” of Jeremiah Wright , you lying sack of Bible-thumping shit ?

  27. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Daryll Says:

    Most clergyman are beginning to understand that we must win this war.

    I disagree with you on that, Daryll. I think most clergyman realize that we have an evil, un-Christian, deplorable, sick man of a president in the White House, and that we should probably get rid of him before he causes the nation any more damage.

    I am sure that they are smart enough to realize that we should not be in Iraq in the first place, and that “winning” (however that is being defined this week) is not the only option. I am also sure that they are smart enough to see through the lies of this president and his evil minions. I am sure that they are smart enough not to fall into the trap of accepting the president’s false choices as the only ones available. Withdrawing our troops IS an option. But because Bush doesn’t care who lives or dies, he won’t consider that option.

    Thanks to a Congress full of people who don’t believe their oath of office means anything (including my own, John Hall, NY-19), Bush will be allowed to not only stay in office, but to send more good men and women needlessly to their deaths.

    If you truly are the Christian you want us to believe you are, Daryll, then you will understand that violence and warfare is not the way to solve problems. The war in Iraq must end now. Our presence there is only prolonging it. So the only logical thing to do is withdraw. In the long run, fewer people will die.



  28. christopher wiwi says:

    Dubya is brushing off the Pope like brushing off the truth about Iraq,Fisa,Iran and High Crimes and misdeameaners. I guess the Pope knows the Anti-Christ when he sees one.


  29. gummitch says:

    Daryll Says:

    Here’s my question. If a preacher does not support a man who loves God (Pres. Bush), is he a preacher who lacks truth?

    Prove that Pres. Bush loves God, Daryll. And “he says so” doesn’t count.


  30. dbadass says:

    You Daryll,
    What about the Unitarians? Those crazy mofo’s let my kid have two godfathers! Oh and they abhor this war as well

    The President doesn’t represent me. He represents Satan by informing his so-called flock to worship him and explaining that he is the only direct messenger of God. I wish he would never come to Florida because his presence always ruins traffic here. (In fact, he leaves death and destruction in his wake everywhere, in the name of “peace and security.”

    Men must wear short hair, no shorts, no red or brightly colored suits, and on and on and on…….

    He’s a shithead and so are you , dipshit daryll ; tell me you’re member of this loony bin……….


  34. RUCerious says:

    Pastor Jennings and the Pope are one and the same.
    Leaders who control their subjects with fear of reprisal in the afterlife.
    Little regard for the actual teachings of Jesus, just the temporal application of selective rules designed to keep the sheep shorn.


  35. specialist f says:

    Daryll Says:HELL IS REAL!!!!
    Oh dear,now I’ve gone and done it. So Daryll,why are these guys wrong? After all Organized religion has proven that you don’t need any proof to keep sheeple in line. Just threaten them with fire and brimstone and keep passing the collection plate!

    How do you purport to know what the President of the United States truly believes in his heart ; especially when he is a documented habitual liar ?


  37. christopher wiwi says:

    Daryll, How does Global Warming destroy religion, the same way dubya destroyed Iraq ?


  38. RUCerious says:

    McMetal, good rundown on the control issues. It is all about controlling others throught the fear of reprisal in the non-existent afterlife.

    What a scam. I’m almost sorry I didn’t think of it!

  41. pete says:

    The only “clergy” who have ever favored war are ignorant, bloodthirsty, twisted, evil worshipers of Daryll’s malevolent blood-God; and his bread loving, wine obsessing, anti-establishment, effeminate son.

    Craven serial liars who besmirch all good people of Faith. Daryll, and his kind, represent the lowest order, of the most vile perverter of Faith. Those who Believe they can go to face their Creator with the blood of innocents on their hands. They cling to a frantic, pathetic dream of eternal servitude to their petty, incoherent, gods, myths and fantasies because they know they have no rights to, or place in, our reality.

    That’s why they brandish their hard won ignorance. The highest in their hierarchy are those who deny, suppress, and vilify true knowledge of reality. That’s the only way they can hold on to their all consuming hate of anything different from themselves. And that’s why when given a platform they seek, not a better world, but one in which no one but their twisted brethren could find any comfort.

    Your kind are losing their grip, Daryll. The utter corruption of the remaining sycho-Christians exposes you for what you are. The lies, in support of lies, have worn thin and all with the wit, and courage, can learn the truth. Your kind will never be able to put reality back in the bag. 80% of the humans on the planet, and history itself, has deemed that your kind are the aberration. All your imaginary enemies are created by your own delusions and they are better than you.

    You lose!

    Wasn’t all that long ago Daryll was raving about the gorgeous half-naked women on the beach in Rio. At least, I think it was the women. Maybe I got that part wrong.


  46. impeachcheneythenbush says:

    Daryll – you say Pastor Jennings is a man of God and you provided his website for us. But you didn’t read his “Beliefs and Doctrines” segment did you? Of did you only pick out the parts you liked? From that website, which don’t seem to jibe with either your or Bush’s “faith” mantra:

    “In the time of persecution or ill treatment at the hands of the ememy, we should not avenge ourselves but rather give place to wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord” (Romans 12-19; Deuteronomy 32:35). Neither shall we take up any weapon of destruction to slay another in our own defense or in the defense of others. For it is written: “Do violence to no man.” We should rather suffer wrong than to do wrong.”

    “All Civil Magistrates are ordained of God for peace, safety, and the general welfare of all people: Romans 13:1-10. Therefore, it is our duty to be in obedience to all requirements of the laws of the land that do not contradict biblical principles. They must not conflict as to force one into violation of the Sixth Commandment of Bearing of Arms and going to war. It is our duty to honor them, and show respect in all lawful requirements of the Civil Government.”

  57. impeachcheneythenbush says:

    The pastor has explained that this pertains to man, not governments. There were many wars in the bible.

    Daryll – governments are comprised of man, are they not?

    Isaiah 2.4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

    So by my count, darryl is frightened of furriners, women (dressed or not), progressives, enlightenment, education, legal oversight of the bush administration, anybody different than himself, cleavage, slips showing, tight sweaters, religions other than southern baptist, and anybody who has posted on TP. I think that just about does it.

    What a colossal waste of time ; everyone knows that shit is not considered viable brain matter……….

    I don’t think he actually goes into the lab everyday, I think they capture him and physically bring him back to the facility.

    Wow, Darryl. You’ve managed to bear false witness against Pastor Jennings, the Pope, George Bush, 66% of the Continental U.S. and every Christian preacher who opposes ALL war. Not to mention all the people you will never meet, study or understand, yet still manage to presuppose what they believe. Then you admit your perverted lusts as well?

    I don’t even believe in an immortal soul and I wouldn’t build up that many sins in one thread. Some things I prefer to not have on my conscience. Today won’t make a good chapter when you get to read your passage in The Book of Life.

    BTW, Daryll. Did you ever notice that “conscience”, a universally admired virtue, can’t be spelled without “science”. Personally, I prefer to base my conscience on science. Basing it on hate, like you, would make me crazy.

    Georgie, remember it would be poor ettiquette to bring up his time in the Hitler Youth, the Nazi anti-aircraft company, his coverup of child molesters, the 152 people you executed, or the 1.1 million Iraqis you have killed during polite dinner conversation!


  65. gummitch says:

    So-called “Christians” have to go into all sorts of contortions in order to justify war, especially a war of aggression. The entire New Testament has to be ignored, as Daryll always does on a thread like this. “There’s a lot of wars in the Bible.” Yes, Daryll, there are a lot of wars in the Old Testament. Of course, whenever anyone else references the Old Testament and suggests Daryll should lay off the pork and seafood, he assures us that those books are just for cherry-picking and the New Testament is the Law. And then proceeds to cheerfully ignore everything Jesus ever said about “turning the other cheek”, caring for the poor, chastising the rich and the pious . . . I don’t believe I’ve ever read a single word from Daryll that had any connection at all to Jesus’s words.

    Fundies all think the Pope is a criminal anyway – I’m surprised W even met with him.


  67. Keith says:

    Not long ago, Bob Jones U in SC (where all Republican nominees must go for approval) taught that Catholicism was a SATANIC CULT.

    A get-together of 2 criminals is a pretty unsightly thing…….

    Further proof that Bush isn’t really a “Christian”.

    RUCerious @ 4. The reason the Pope ditched in dinner invitation:

    Too many satanic demons in one room. They were clashing.

    I agree, it is delicious. You really cannot make this stuff up!

    You are right. His loyalty is to the church listed above. And the “manly” preacher who knows everything everyone should be doing all the time… down to what and where a woman covers her hair with.

    Darryl… Why do you come here and post??? Do you fancy yourself a preacher? Or what? Are you saving souls?


  72. tombaker says:

    Apparently, if you’re willing to use the cloak of religion, you can build a whole town for dirty old child molester men in Texas, and get government contracts to help fund it.


  73. Xisithrus says:

    Daryll, women dress as to the current fashion. if they were as loose as you believe, they would be giving you free lap dances…and they arent. Maybe thats what has you in a tizzy.


  74. Keith says:

    Not totally off topic since the pope is an ex-Nazi:
    #2 Moonie and friend of Bushes and Cheney said The Holocaust was carried out with God’s permission:

    Great photo op with the Pope and Satan. Who would have ever thought we’re see that ever happen.


  76. pete says:

    And good ol’ Daryll, like all hideous parodies of men, has scurried into a dark room when we hold a mirror in front of him. What a pathetic waste of resources. And to think it manages to achieve such loathsomeness through perverting such a wonderful message.

    I suppose it takes a lot of spells and incantations to recover from such a spiritual shellacking. Plus a certain amount of begging to whatever grisly image of Christ Daryll keeps in his heart.

    So by my count, darryl is frightened of furriners, women (dressed or not), progressives, enlightenment, education, legal oversight of the bush administration, anybody different than himself, cleavage, slips showing, tight sweaters, religions other than southern baptist, and anybody who has posted on TP. I think that just about does it.

    But Daryll posts on TP… Is he afraid of himself too?


  79. Jaded Prole says:

    I can’t help but to think that the Pope is coming to the White House intent on performing a ritual of exorcism.


  80. Aleister Q. Nixon says:

    Daryll Says:

    Most of your wordly women walk around dressed as whores. When I go into the lab each day, sometimes I think that I am at a prostitution venue because of the way the women dress.

    A prostitution venue? I like the wording. The catholic (cattle-like) church should use wording like that when they type up their apologies to the human race.


  81. MapleStreet says:

    To get back to a serious tone: Dana’s assertions are ludicrous.

    If nothing else, Pope Benedict sure ain’t no idiot and he can be assertive. The only way that they will avoid certain subjects is if the Pope decides that Chimpy is so far out of touch that there is no point in talking to him. (Theological term: invicible ignorance).
