It's Time for Bush to Stop Glad Handing Imams
Put these murderers on notice: Enough is enough!
By Jeff Koopersmith
July 16, 2006 – GENEVA (apj.us) – I watched BBC television last night and witnessed the President of the United States made to look like a monkey in St. Petersburg by Vladimir Putin as the two briefed hundreds of reporters from the G8 Summit – an annual event at which the richest nations on earth are celebrating their good fortune under the guise of "perhaps" helping the poorest nations escape from what is the tragedy of global economics.
Bush, playing the fool as always, spoke first, calling the Russian leader "Vladimir" and I was surprised President Podunk did not call President Putin the more familiar "Vladjo" – although I knew he was not sophisticated enough to know that regional endearment. Putin stood, uncomfortable at being called by his first name, in front of a gaggle of reporters. As usual, Bush set a subterranean tone encouraging one Russian woman reporter to ask Putin how he kept himself so handsome and how he might "treat" his hair for the benefit of all the "blondes" in the world.
It was a stunning, sad and embarrassing spectacle.
But Putin stole the show after Bush jovially insulted him with comments on the Russian state of democracy by retorting: "We certainly would not wish to have the brand of democracy they do in Iraq."
The audience laughed at Bush along with Putin's Cheshire-smiled bon mot. Mr. Bush cringed red and pretended to chuckle himself. The cameras scanned the audience to allow us to see scowling Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, whose baby blue pants-suited legs crossed like a cheap cocktail waitress. Doesn't anyone have the presence of mind to tell her to keep her legs down and together under a dress or skirt when representing our country? Even male diplomats know better than to sit at such events looking like a hooker at a cheap Las Vegas hotel bar.
So there stood the two powerful leaders, with Putin in the ascendancy and Bush in the pothole of voter polls.
I honestly felt sorry for Mr. Bush, who, even after nearly six years in office, was still acting like teenaged cheerleader for the United States – the one that always fell on the jump.
Both stood pompous as peacocks as the world fell apart at their feet – mostly as a result of foolhardy policies set in motion by the idiots surrounding our President, using his innocent stupidity to move the world closer to Armageddon.
Is there an area in this world not yet impacted by the "terror" that the Bush Administration has inflamed and nourished? We could start with the failed war in Afghanistan, where Americans and British soldiers still die every day and where the Taliban once again controls most of that nation, save for a few square miles in Kabul as we prop up Hamed Karzai, the oil executive dressed as a caped mountain crusader with a funny hat.
Iraq is now in a full-fledged civil war – despite the lying claims otherwise from Secretary of War Rumsfeld – with Iraqi murdering Iraqi in broad daylight simply because of which Islamic sect each belongs to. The "good progress" in Iraq is another badge of "courage" worn brazenly by Mr. Bush.
Islamic terrorists now roam every continent on the earth. One only need watch the goings on in Egypt, Indonesia, and almost the entire African continent where these self-styled, hatred-driven "men of God" have murdered tens of millions who dared to be Christian or nothing.
Yesterday these pigs kidnapped 40 – that's forty! – members of the Iraqi sports federation in open daylight and drove them "no one knows where."
No one knows where? Come on.
Is our President serious when he says that we are making terrific progress in bringing law and order to Iraq?
The best display of Bush Administration incompetence, of course, is this weekend's buffet of raw death spread before us in the Middle East as the smoldering war between Israel and Islamic terrorists – not Lebanon or Syria as nations, but aimed at the so-called Hezbollah – which, by the way, our own nation made stronger during the Bush presidency.
Heckuva job, Mr. Bush.
We see you and Mrs. Bush, who believes the American press never publishes your "good polls," enjoying yourselves in the old palaces of the Czars.
How appropriate.
We hope you are proud of yourselves and are not counting the lives or mentally burying the bodies that you've directly or indirectly ended thus far.
Since you took office, Mr. Bush, more than three million innocent people, mostly black, have died under Islamic fundamentalist swords. Our own Veterans' Hospitals are filled with tens of thousands of maimed soldiers mourning nearly three thousand of their dead as they contemplate lives without arms or legs, or locked in mental hospitals because they were "too weak" to witness the carnage without losing their minds.
Isn't it time you stopped your Imam glad-handing and put these murderers on notice that we’ve had enough?
