Saddam tries to kill bush sr

[Longinius 1]

"And, in discussing the threat posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Bush said: "After all, this is the guy who tried to kill my dad.""

- CNN

Yeah, we all know how Saddam tried to take down Bush! We all saw him go after good old George, now didnt we?!

I love Bush JR's proffesional attitude towards this. Statements of this nature make me confident its all done in our good interests ;P

The new language in discussing his fight with the Democrat-controlled Senate over homeland security was a reaction from Bush to sharp complaints from Democrats that he was being overly political in his speeches on issues related to the war on terrorism.

Hitler, who in popular opinion probably is the most 'evil' human being ever, seems like Einstein (populary viewed as smart ) compared to J W Bush. Risk is that they will both share the same part in history books though.

BTW. Just a fun thing I came to think about regarding Einstein and a stupid bastard:

The same actor that played Manuel in Faulty Towers, played Einstein in a ducumentary I saw once. He is really good in both roles

Can we please stop having those Bush vs. Hitler comparisons? They are bound to end up in a mess eventually, please just drop it.

LMAO!!! That guy is killing me!!

i think the paragraph can be interpreted in two ways. 1) as Bush Jr being too personal; not professional on subject matter. or 2)poiting out that Saddam is also a political foe.

when Hussein tried to kill Bush Sr., Clinton fired some missiles in retaliation. so this makes up for it i guess. But for Bush, it could be more personal since it's his father. and he(Bush Jr) would try to use attempted assasiantion of a former president(Bush Sr.) as an example of Hussein's action, but when he tried to name former prez, he also acknowledged that it was his dad.... so maybe he meant. "saddam would kill anyone, even president of US" and it seems like he used his father's ex.

You know, i bet Bush could start a show, ppl would tell hem just to act like he always does. He'll say so many weird stuff that it'll be a pretty entertaining show

While Reagan was dangerous, but far from beeing stupid, Bush Jr. is dangerous and stupid.

He can be considered a dislexic, he can´t talk, he can´t read, his general knowledge is lacking, and the best thing, he´s the president of the United States.

I was going to bring this up last night, but didn't have time while alt tab from OFP...

He's not reading in that picture, he's looking at the girl. In order to be reading, you got to be looking at the book. Here, he's just holding the book upsidedown.

That is still no excuse.  Even if you are going to pretend to be reading a book for a photo op, you REALLY want to make certain that it's right side up.  Otherwise you risk having wiseasses like us sitting here making fun of you!

I cant believe that none of his handlers noticed that he had the book upside down!  I sometimes wonder if the White House staff is trying to make him look like a buffoon, or if he:

a) goes off on a tangent while reading his speaches

b) cant quite read the speach

I am pretty certain it's not b!

They should give him one of those "this way up" books....

Yes, I also think that this is not Mr. President.

He must have some doubles like Uncle Saddam.

And if we take a closer look at the poster on the wall this must have something to do with the US constitution.

So if this would be the real Mr.B he does not even know the US constitution.

Rumsfeld : "Gee, Mr.B. what do you want to do tonight?"

Mr.B. : "The same thing we do every night Rumy. Try to take over the world!"

Someone who can't even successfully carry out a speech without giving satirical comedians a field day has no chance of running the country-I don't think he has any power at all, just George Bush Sr. telling him what to do.
