Bush Says Iran Too Slow Responding on its Nuke Program

VIENNA, Austria -- President Bush responded angrily today to differences with Europe over
the war in Iraq and the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
But he found renewed expressions of unity from the European Union in the joint effort to restrict
the development of a nuclear weapon in Iran and to contain North Korea's arms program.

With public opinion surveys showing a growing animosity in Europe toward the United States amid
fears that its anti-terrorism policies and the Iraq war are endangering global stability,
the president lashed out during a news conference. He raised his voice and several times used
the words "absurd" and "absurdity" to describe the criticism and concerns.

Responding to a reporter who said that "most consider the United States the biggest threat
to global stability,"
Bush said: "That's absurd! We'll defend ourselves, but at the same time, we're actively working
with our partners to spread peace and democracy. So whoever says that is — it's an absurd statement."

Moments later, in response to another question questioning whether the United States was
promoting or hindering world peace,
Bush said, "I thought it was absurd for people to think that we're more dangerous than Iran.
We're a transparent democracy. People know exactly what's on our mind.
We debate things in the open. We've got a legislative process that's active."

Today, Bush, whose administration has drawn a distinction between what it calls old Europe
and new Europe, was enmeshed in the emblematic structure of old Europe: The heart of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

Then, with an hour's flight east at the end of the day, he flew to Budapest, for a second
day drawn up around his overarching effort to explain the reasons for the war in Iraq
in the more politically friendly territory of post-Communist new Europe. <--snip

I wonder how he pronounced it! :rofl:

'Abbbbbbsword' and did he drool? :shrug:

There's a video at the link above but I can't get it to open. :grr:
'Bush Speaks on Guantanamo Bay Prison'

I don't know if those comments are in it though.

this is leadership? :puke:

This from the president who has done more to limit public access to government than any I can remember. I sometimes wonder why his lying tongue doesn't simply turn black and fall out.

and not trust their gov't. Gee, do you think the US will begin to have to report defections?

It wouldn't take much more to get a full blown, profanity-laced royal hissy-fit on live TV.

I wonder if Karl will give him another new word for tomorrow. These meetings with smart people whose function isn't to protect him make him really nervous. I wish I had the Xanax concession for *'s trips abroad.

Hell, I must be totally out of my Freakin' mind then! :eyes:

:rofl:
