This is essentially why the U.N. in general, France and all Protestors suck.
Bush was elected, and you laughed at how he spoke.
9/11/01 occured, and some wondered why he said little.
In November, Bush addressed the U.N. , and many here laughed, and called him a "cowboy" .
But he said early on, "terrrorosm, wherever it's found".
Read from his address, and laugh now.
He told you what was going to be done, and hasn't waivered, nor has Tony Blair.
So read, and kiss my ass.

Excerpts include:
"We have a responsibility to deny any sanctuary, safe haven or transit to terrorists. Every
known terrorist camp must be shut down, its operators apprehended and evidence of their
arrest presented to the United Nations. We have a responsibility to deny weapons to terrorists
and to actively prevent private citizens from providing them.
These obligations are urgent, and they are binding on every nation with a place in this chamber.
Many governments are taking these obligations seriously, and my country appreciates it.
Yet, even beyond Resolution 1373, more is required and more is expected of our coalition against
terror.
We're asking for a comprehensive commitment to this fight.
We must unite in opposing all terrorists, not just some of them.
In this world, there are good causes and bad causes, and we may disagree on where that line is
drawn. Yet, there is no such thing as a good terrorist. No national aspiration, no remembered
wrong can ever justify the deliberate murder of the innocent. Any government that rejects this
principle, trying to pick and choose its terrorist friends, will know the consequences."
and
"And every nation must have avenues for the peaceful expression of opinion and dissent. When
these avenues are closed, the temptation to speak through violence grows." 
and
"And finally, this struggle is a defining moment for the United Nations itself. And the world needs
its principled leadership. It undermines the credibility of this great institution, for example, when
the Commission on Human Rights offers seats to the world's most persistent violators of human
rights. The United Nations depends above all on its moral authority and that authority must be
preserved."
and
"We did not ask for this mission, yet there is honor in history's call. We have a chance to write
the story or our times, a story of courage defeating cruelty and light overcoming darkness.
This calling is worthy of any life and worthy of every nation.
So let us go forward, confident, determined and unafraid.
Thank you very much."

Again, let me ask, why have the "radical liberals" stopped laughing?
He put it right out there, easy to comprehend, and makes you look stupid.
Go laugh some more.

First off, at least the exerts (I dont want to click a link) of the speech make it sound too simplistic. From a writers point of view, it needs better flow.

 Is Bush about to invade the United States?!

Such as when citizens can't protest without being shot at with wooden bullets?

Bush is HARDLY one to be critisizing the UN for being in bed with human rights violators.
Saudi Arabia, Israel, Pakistan.........

I love it when Bush talks about how the nations of the world need to oppose terror in its "entirety". Because it just makes the US look like fools

Possibly because they dont want to see America go down the drains?

First off, the writing is horrible. It's something I would expect from an eighth grader (Though in America, my expectations of 8th Grade may have to be lowered ) and from the standpoint of anazlying its contents, he's just being hypocritical and making a fool out of himself.
I would say that it makes you look stupid for even supporting him. Oops?

I love it when republicans feel so confident about something.......It just makes bursting their ego so much more enjoyable

It's more like recently cracked down on US sponsored dissenters who want to make Cuba into an American mudpatch. Given the fact that the US has waged a dirty war against Cuba for 40 years I'd suggest that Fidel is in the right here. The Cuban people are free - free of US influence. And that's a freedom worth having.
And gee wouldn't free elections and free speech US style be great. I mean, everyone wants their elections bought by corporations and FOX news is so wonderful.
And the United States is in no moral position to criticize the actions of any Latin American Government, given their record in the region. I'd take Fidel over Bush any day.
Oaf. |
People like you allow murderers to proliferate throughout the world.
YOU would pick Castro....HA HA HA HA

Cuba’s traditional supporters among the strongest critics of island’s crackdown
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Carlos Fuentes called Cuba a “suffocating dictatorship.” Jose Saramago said Fidel Castro “cheated his dreams.”
Shocked at Cuba’s recent crackdown on dissent, many leftist intellectuals and authors find themselves criticizing a government they spent years applauding.
The backlash appears to have caught Cuba off guard and forced officials to defend themselves against not only their foes — but also their longtime friends.
For years, the communist government appeared to be relaxing its tough stance toward critics. Encouraged, even Republican U.S. lawmakers were calling to lift more than four decades of U.S. imposed sanctions.
But that changed earlier this month, when Cuba ordered a firing squad to execute three men accused of terrorism in the unsuccessful hijacking of a ferry full of passengers. The men were trying to get to the United States.
Days before, Cuba sentenced 75 dissidents, many of them independent journalists or directors of independent libraries, to prison terms of up to 28 years. Cuba accused them of working with U.S. diplomats to undermine Castro’s government — a charge the dissidents and the State Department have denied.
The crackdown was condemned around the globe.
Sweden warned the actions could harm Cuba’s prospects for a better relationship with the European Union, while Canada and Italy sent letters of protest to Castro.
But some of the strongest criticism came from Cuba’s supporters, who have stuck by the government’s 44-year rule despite complaints about its human rights record.
“Must they learn the bad habits of the enemy they are fighting?” wrote Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano, who once praised Castro as a “symbol of national dignity.”
“The death penalty is never justified, no matter where it is applied.”
Fuentes, a Mexican novelist and longtime Cuba supporter, was even more disillusioned. He lumped Bush and Castro together and declared himself against both. Castro, he said, needs “his American enemy to justify his own failings.”
“As a Mexican, I wish for my country neither the dictates of Washington on foreign policy, nor the Cuban example of a suffocating dictatorship,” he wrote in a letter published in Mexico City’s Reforma newspaper.
He wasn’t alone. Saramago, a Portuguese writer who won the 1998 Nobel Prize for literature and considered himself a close friend of Castro, said Cuba “has lost my confidence, damaged my hopes, cheated my dreams.”
Colombian Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who lives part-time in Cuba, has been silent on the issue. But his magazine, Cambio, published an article saying “few other repressive waves have left a government so isolated and rejected.”
The government responded by publishing rebukes in the Communist Party daily Granma.
In one letter published Saturday, a group of well-known Cuban intellectuals urged their colleagues to stop criticizing the island.
Entitled “Message from Havana to our friends in faraway places,” the letter said the recent statements by leftist intellectuals “are being used in the great campaign trying to isolate us and prepare the stage for military aggression by the United States against Cuba.”
Cuba made a similar assertion about several of its Latin American allies earlier this month, calling them U.S. “lackeys” after the nations backed an amendment calling for a U.N. rights monitor to visit the island.
Peru protested the comments by the Cuba’s U.N. delegate, and Nicaragua recalled its envoy from Cuba for consultations.
Still, Cuba has claimed some political victories recently.
The 53-member U.N. Human Rights Commission rejected a tougher amendment criticizing Cuba’s dissident crackdown.
Maryland also is sticking with plans to send the Pride of Baltimore II clipper ship to the island to promote the state’s seafood, poultry, pet food, cake mix, juices and spices. The ship is scheduled to arrive at the island on May 24.
But the Bush administration, unhappy about the Cuban action, is contemplating ways to make Castro’s government pay a price. It also has undercut embargo foes on Capitol Hill.
Fuentes warned it will be hard for Castro to bounce back.
The Cuban president, he said, is preparing “the way for his own exit from the world stage in a hail of flames.” |
Notice, it's his SUPPORTERS who questioned him, and YOU just defended him!
