Still Commingling After All These Years

by AltHippo @ 11:05 am. Filed under Uncategorized

Every so often the Bushies will go: “We didn’t say Iraq was about 9.11. At any rate, the president certainly never said anything like that.” This, taken from his press conference with Sarkozy, is for the next time they trot out that old gray mare:

The interesting challenge we face in the world in which we live is there are murderers who will try to stop the advance of democracy, particularly in the Middle East. Isn’t it interesting that the places where there’s most violence is where there’s young democracies trying to take hold, whether it be Iraq or Lebanon or in the Palestinian Territories? And the call for nations such as ourselves is to support those who want to live in freedom. Freedom is the great alternative to the ideology of people who murder the innocent to achieve their political objectives — by the way, the very same ones that came and killed 3,000 of our citizens.

As a special bonus, let’s watch as Bush explains how great it is to be dictator, I mean, run a press conference in the US as opposed to France:

[BUSH:] You want to call on somebody?

PRESIDENT SARKOZY: You know, in France, I don’t choose, I don’t pick the journalists.

PRESIDENT BUSH: You don’t get to choose? Who chooses? I choose? (Laughter.) Who would you like me to choose? (Laughter.) Oh, he chose. Wait a minute, it didn’t last very long, did it?

PRESIDENT SARKOZY: I didn’t choose, I indicated a general direction. (Laughter.)

You know that’s funny, but not what I call “ha-ha” funny.

    Funny. And just a bit scary.
