Zapper, everybody knows your pres is as thick as railway sleeper. O.K., I grant you he's reasonably capable over matters of domestic policy, but over foreign policy, he's clueless. I mean, he even refers to the Greeks as Grecians.
Here is what Robbie Williams had to say recently:

"Robbie Williams claims he would make a better president than George Bush.

He said during a press conference in Mexico: 'You know Americans keep saying they are the leaders of the world, and this guy can't form a sentence. .

He can't speak. I speak better than him. ."I should be president. I'd do a better job than him. And I'm not very bright'."

No offence, Zapper but get real here. I heard some of these speeches on the BBC news since the gaffes were being reported widely. You can't seiously be trying to claim Bush is erudite and doesn't refer to Greeks as Grecians e.t.c. I also heard him pronounce the word "mullah" as "moolar". You've never had a pres like him and I doubt there's ever be another as bad. He's awful.

Bush is a fuckin idiot. Not a single American would deny this (not even Zap). He preys on the insecurity of the American people by spreading information that Islam is the enemy of America and suicide bombers want to infiltrate American towns and cities to kill innocent people. This type of intimidation works very well in America. They have a lot to lose.

This so far has worked beautifully. It is completely false of course but the reason he does it is to pretend to be the defender of the USA and appear to be working to repel the enemy at America's gates. I can see how Zapper admires Bush and supports him. He is simply blinded by what he sees on the TV an reads in the papers. Zapper is as much a victim as the innocents in Iraq, we should really feel sorry for him and help him to see the tyrant as we see him.

The fact that Bush can barely form a coherent sentence doesnt really matter in the scheme of things, he is just reading from a sheet and doesnt actually understand what most of the words mean nor the implications of the speech itself. He is a puppet, and not a very well disguised puppet. The problem is he cant help acting like one of the muppets.

Democracy is to be enforced in the Middle East by the use of war, guns and soldiers because this eventually will produce a stable trading ground for America, business between the two regions will flourish, America will get richer. The freedom of the people of the Middle East is a puppet policy. America cannot trade or seen to be trading with tyrants, so they are removed. It is purely business, nothing else.

Wake up Zapper. The coffee is ready and you have a bagel waiting for you are our table. C'mon man.

...unless they installed them, like their good friend, Saddam. He was flavour of the month following the fall of their other great buddy from next door, the Shah. Just like with good ol' boy, Pinochet, Democracy was the Shah's second name.
Yessir, certainly got to admire the members of the "Friends Of The Whitehouse At The Forefront Of The Fight For Democracy". Fine fellows, everyone of them.
Strange how one day they are strong leaders of troubled nations and the next they are tyrants standing in the way of democracy.
I guess Cornmufin's a little young to be President, but he/she certainly has the makings...

I think that Bush is a figure of fun but he's also a lame duck President.

Iraq continues to haunt him.
It now looks like his ratings are sliding.
The US economy is still in difficulties : the budget deficit grows apace.
Even with political turmoil in Europe and with the effect on the Euro valuation, the dollar still cannot appreciate against the Euro.

He is an idiot - a dangerous idiot who is actually weakening the USA.

a government can be a friendly ally or a tyrannical regime from one minute to then next dpending on a whim from the W(s)hitehouse. It is all business as i have said. When the whitehouse has no more need of the person, he is deemed a terrorist, blamed for things they didnt do, accused of having things they havent got and thier country illegally invaded.

America tried to convince the 'Raki people that Hussien had WMDs and was a threat. It didnt work. He tried to convince Europe. It didnt work. The only person that fell for it was Blair. Half of the USA believed it even though there were absolutely not a single trace of evidence and have since admitted thier failure.

Friend one minute Tyrant the next. I bet if you got all of Bushs admin seperatly in rooms and asked them one by one if each leader in the world was a tyrant or a friend you wouldnt get two matching answers, because they themselves dont know the current status.

He should be tried, in the Hague, after his term expires or he is impeached. He has not done one thing right.

He should be tried, in The Hague, after his impeachment for "wreckless endangerment w/ a profit motive", mind you.

The whole problem has been that the Administration legislated policy that badly damaged the reputation of Americans throughout the globe. The images of Iraqis being abused by allied forces (in the so-called name of freedom and democracy) are images that will never be forgotten, either in Europe or Asia.
Zapper feels obliged to defend Bush but this may be more a consequence of some of us dragging Bush through the coals with our postings. Maybe he feels we're getting at Americans like him but really this isn't the case.
I don't even have a big an axe to grind with Lyndie England as I do with those who ordered and encouraged these people to abuse POW's, urging them they were helping their country be safe from terror.
This is the biggest mistake that has been made to date: not treating prisoners with dignity and ensuring those in a vulnerbale situation should have their rights to dignity and respect enforced (by law).

Unfortunately, the Euro isn't going too well at all. The U.S. economy isn't doing anywhere near as well as it did under Clinton but I guess America is better off than Germany. Spain, however, is doing quite well and the U.K. economy is performing O.K. which is why France wants Blair to renegotiate his rebate.
But I don't personally think the U.S. economy is in a terrible state. I think it's more the case of America now being bogged down in an absolute shit-hole of a war that, as John Kerry so wisely said, Bush rushed into.
How they will get out of that war is anyone's guess.
This could damage the republicans very bady when the penny finally drops. It's a pity since I think Arnold Scwarzennegger could be a good president but he may be associated too closely with Bush and Rumsfeld.
