A lesson for Eurocoms from Bush

[Ted Striker]

Because European countries now resolve differences through negotiation and consensus, there's sometimes an assumption that the entire world functions in the same way. But let us never forget ... beyond Europe's borders, in a world where oppression and violence are very real, liberation is still a moral goal, and freedom and security still need defenders.

You guys secretly love him, admit it.

He really is a W@nker isn't he?

Ha! It's the same article!!!

I can't help thinking about how this Eurocom vs. gun-totin' Alabama Man trolling competition must have been going on for about four years now. I realize it's generally not to be taken that seriously, but don't you guys ever get tired of it?

I think that with regards to the Iraq thing, I know this was a London speech, but I think Bush (as well as a couple posters on Apolyton) should acknowledge Europe was genuinely divided on the issue instead of treating it like the socio-political anti-U.S-entity it will hopefully never become. Or to rephrase that, in one form or another, where's my thank you card?

Because it has to be done.

Because the US now resolves differences through oppression and violence, there's sometimes an assumption that the entire world functions in the same way. But let us never forget ... beyond the US, in a world where negotiation and consensus building is very real, unilateralism is still an immoral goal, and freedom and security for blind patriotic fervour still needs defenders.

That's got to be one of the most spectacular logical breakdowns I've seen in a while. Thanks Ted.

I'd advise him not to hold his breath......

If you're talking about me, well, I'm not awake these late hours because I'm expecting a phone call from Rumsfeld.

[Sandman]

He is a conviction politician, a man who knows what he thinks and couldn't care two hoots for what he doesn't know.

That's nice way of saying he's stupid.

Anders had breakfast with Bush, remember? What more could we reasonably ask for.

On a more serious note, the decision to participate in the coalition against a totalitarian and stability threatening regime isn't made because one wants to be congratulated.

Just another justification to bomb darkies for oil and a not very brilliant at that but no surprise there.

What's this show with the white house? same effect.

You have your racial slurs mixed up my goatbanging friend. It's the sand ******s that have most of the oil. If you are going to be an offensive jackass at least get your slurs correct.

[Bereta_Eder]

Hey don't blame me sweetheart. All the racial slurs I know, I've learned them here at 'Poly mostly courtesy of your compatriots. So all complains should be adressed to them. Secondly I didn't even know it was a slur and thirdly it was written in a way so as to come from little turd's mouth and his ilk , which if nothing else, would be expected.

[Winston]

Well, the sky is blue here in my world.

OK now, play nice you two...
