Edited on Sun Jan-13-08 06:53 AM by malaise

He's being introduced. Interesting that it's nowhere on MSM.

My bad - CNN is carrying it.

7. A good actor

is the only one in the room aware that they are merely playing a role. In this case, only George is unaware that he is merely acting like he believes in democracy.

10. I can't help but

thinking that on some unconscious level, Bush recognizes that he has not only failed, but has reached the status of one of the most dismal of failures .... hence, he projects that outward, and feels compelled to try to self-correct by attempting some delusional peace process. As if he has any moral authority to talk the way he is this morning!

I think he is a fugging delusional lunatic. The crusade theme was very present. If you have BBC listen to the post speech discussion.
The first words were nothing new here.

13. The BBC analyst says the average person in the ME will wonder how

someone engaged in such a militaristic agenda in Afghanistan and Iraq can be trying to convince them about freedom and democracy.

15. I suspect that

he only reinforced the hatred that people feel for the Cheney policies in the Middle East. I can not imagine that a single person has had their minds changed, and now think Bush is an agent of positive change.

That was quick.

23. This visit has NOTHING to do with peace and EVERYTHING to do

with an attack on Iran. He has just been zipping around, picking teams and prodding Iran.

22. Look at how the Arab media see his visit.

"The dominant narrative, the dominant frame in the Arab media, is still about the huge gap between what the president says and what's actually happening on the ground," Lynch said. "And so you get much more coverage in the Arab media of the expansion of settlement, and a lot more coverage of the Hamas/Fatah ongoing political standoff."

more: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/01/13/sunday/main3705683.shtml

This is all in addition to the major player's in the region saying his peace-dream is a pipe-dream. Who does he think he's fooling. Yet, he's going back in May for more photos.

24. Thanks for that

The reaction is quite rational. How the fuck do you talk about freedom, justice and peace when you invade and occupy a country illegally and are responsible for over a million deaths? Meanwhile you've dying to attack another country and using the language of crusaders.

17. He loves the fact that the people

of Libya rose up to throw out the foreign occupiers.

Is this man for real?

God he is sickening.
