Front Page of CNN right now, lol

It's official, we're in the Twilight Zone:


President Bush was shown classified photographs Monday depicting acts of apparent abuse of prisoners in Iraq by U.S. soldiers, the White House said. Bush saw the images at a Pentagon meeting, after which he praised under-fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for doing a superb job in leading the war on terror.

"Haw haw! When do I get to do it?"

He seems to be trying to stifle a grin.

on this. Can you imagine how much of a shock it would be to have this dumped in your lap?

Damn, being broadsided by this certainly would not be a pleasant experience.

That being said, no one deserves it more than he does.

I think there is some correlation between things which he takes personal; and, his mean streak which goes up and he's capable to dangerous things ... meds and people around him might not be able to contain him at some point ...

and wonder if *s got a split personality disorder? I have. His face even gestures two emotions rather than one. Place your thumb over half of his face and now cover the otherside. He looks like two very different people. Worried and determined.

.... very accurate description ... and very freeky !!


( i think the lithium is only working on one side of the face, and the zoloft on the other )

Bring em on! and has led an 'anything goes' campaign all along.
Here, there and everywhere.

Ask McCain in South Carolina. Ask Cleland in Georgia.

The philosophy of 'The ends justify the means' has reached a climax--- or has it?

I think that Rumsfeld and his minions honestly thought that they could sweep this stuff under the rug and they intentionally kept Bush in the dark.

It wouldn't be the first time. I've read tons of articles that have said that Bush is clueless about the details of most of the things going on in his administration. Upon the initial reports back in January, etc., Rumsfeld probably told Bush that he'd personally "take care of it".

No wonder he's pissed.

the entire time he was governor? He knows what's going on. He's a psychopath.

..... naked pyramid deal in "The Tomb" ??

I know they do the "laying naked in the coffin" deal.

then I hope he realizes the failure of his style of management. He is responsible for the actions of the people in his administration. He was the one that decided to delegate everything and run the country as if he was CEO of a company. If he presses the "I didn't know" line, it raises the question, "Who is, exactly, running this country?"

sort of a"I'm fucked" expression....

Cheney is smirking...hard to say what Rumsfeld is doing.

twist in the wind as a way of sticking it to Poppy?

Cheney and Rummy both got what they wanted cash wise and they got their war with saddam, its possible that having shrub lose was their plan all along

implications, no doubt. This sociopath used to get his jollies from blowing up frogs with BB guns-just as every future serial killer enjoyed torturing and killing defenseless animals before moving on to bigger prey.

this might not make him look good.

The clause about seeing the images does act as the antecedent to the clause about praising Rumsfeld.

Careless writing or a subliminal message? You be the judge.

It would make his speeches so dull and boring.
His speech writer should be fired by Donald Trump.
Are you sure that Georgie doesn't just dictate his "thoughts" to a 6th grade C student?

Have you just seen the 'writing on the wall' little junior warmonger?

Jack Daniels

So did Nixon in his last few months as President.

Relax, smirky. Your troubles will soon be passed on the next guy.

Of course you promised that wouldn't happen.

Liar.

he is pissed he has to be Mr.Pink. :evilgrin:

*thumbs up*

speaking of thumbs, that whole "cover half his face" thing creeped the hell out of me :scared:

He is the one who said "Bring it on!" How's that Mr. resident? :hangover:

Talk about one picture that just about sums up half the problems of this country.

they look way too happy, to me.


As long as Haliburton is safe, etc.....

never served in war he likes to pretend these things don't happen. They happen in EVERY war and if Bush read or even talked to combat vets he would have known that. Now, if he cared would be another matter.

I was wondering how many boxes of kleenex they went through between them all?

Cheney looks like the kind, old, good-hearted person he isn't.

Rumsfeld - the constant clown.

Wouldn't want him to work too hard.

Yeah, looks like he needs a month long vacation. Maybe two months. Why not, he's good at being AWOL.

about finding a new job, heh.

this in context to the picture and the knowledge he just saw the pictures and then reading this headline means to me he approves of the torture.

President Bush was shown classified photographs Monday depicting acts of apparent abuse of prisoners in Iraq by U.S. soldiers, the White House said. Bush saw the images at a Pentagon meeting, after which he praised under-fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for doing a superb job in leading the war on terror.

basically his whole premise for governing is that the ends justifies the means.

It is as bad as it looks . . .


As President Bush put it, they are an exceptional "few bad apples" whose actions "do not reflect the nature of our country."

if there ever was one. Drooling miserable perverted wasted souls. God, I hate those people.:puke:

Zombies coming in to eat your brains!

Like a bunch of schoolboys in church after one of 'em farted. I'd guess Cheney, by the look. Trying to look serious, but all about to bust out giggling.

about how they are going to be able to spin it all.

The current issue of Mother Jones has an article how Rumsfeld and Cheney were partners in crime in the Nixon administration in the Office of Economic Opportunity which was to administer -get this- 'The War on Poverty' ! Of course at that time circa 1971 they outflanked the career civil service people there with -get this- hiring PRIVATE CONTRACTORS to do consulting and make decisions.
It was a boondoogle of their making then, it is a boondoogle of their making now.

Same shit, different year, different war.

No matter the occasion.

He actually doesn't look like he's aged as rapidly as some other presidents, especially Carter and Clinton. I think the gravity of being president would do that, but shrub generally looks a little more well rested than they did. And wouldn't you, if you had as many vacations as he has had?

While we're on the topic... What happened to shrub's facial tics? Where did they go? He used to display floridly an array of facial tics and rapid seeming-involuntary grimace-like expressions. Those were especially visible during his '99 campaign appearances and during the debates. They've almost completely disappeared now. Except for his famous smirks.

A former co-worker of mine had Tourette's and explained to me the nature of some of these OCD-type manifestations. Apparently it's nearly impossible to just "quit" these things without pharmaceutical help. My friend explained that he learned a non-drug technique of saving up the tics and then later letting them go in private (he never had the involuntary expressions of expletives that some people with this unfortunate disorder have, mostly just facial tics and sometimes snorting sounds as well as sometimes panic attacks when he felt confined, like when we had mandatory overtime); he stopped using that technique though, because he would end up with severe muscle cramping from all the saved-up tics coming at once. Maybe someone with more knowledge of these disorders can comment? I don't mean any putdown to anyone with these conditions.

But shrub seems to have demonstrated something like this during his most visible part of his career, but they all suddenly stopped once he got in the White House. Is he on drugs to control them, or maybe this is why he takes so many vacations?

but some good old pharmaceuticals from daddy's old pharm friends.

And no bothersome doctor-shopping either.

...that said, "Bush praises Rumsfeld" with a subheadline that said, "New photo shows dogs, naked Iraqi prisoner." Un-fucking-believable.
