Bush: "Business as usual is unacceptable". Too bad its not for him

[dajoki]

Did you just see him say that with a straight face(as straight as his cockeyed shit grin allows anyway)? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Other countries must do what they are told by our government or we'll sanction them. I'm not saying the Burmese government is in the right, I'm saying the USA has no business acting like the world's police force.

There is a terrible double standard here. We can outsource our "interrogations" all over the globe and yet pick and choose which nations we'll sanction. I guess its OK for Saudi and Pakistan, among others, but not Burma and others.

If "BUSINESS AS USUAL IS UNACCEPTABLE", what does that make "STAY THE COURSE"? Oh, wait a minute that's OUR government so its OK. I thought maybe we had a policy change. Glad to get that straightened out. :sarcasm:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush announced further U.S. sanctions against Myanmar's military rulers on Friday, saying they had continued to defy international demands to "stop their vicious persecution."

Imposing the second package of U.S. measures in less than a month, Bush said he was adding more of Myanmar's leaders to a list of those already facing financial and travel sanctions and that he had instructed the U.S. Commerce Department to tighten export controls on Myanmar.

1. Bush reminds me of the Coyote who got caught in the Chicken house

with Chicken feathers in his mouth.

"What Chicken? I didn't eat a Chicken."

The man is a national disgrace. A wart on the ass of America.

2. Bush just means he wants a dictator in there that he controls

and who doesn't make so much noise while shutting the population up.

3. So you mean...

4. He'll probably tell the dictator what to do

He would rather play puppetmaster. Bush takes so much shit for him and smiles, thinking of his grilled cheese sandwich and afternoon nap

5. I always pictured Bush...

spinning around in his chair like a little kid with ADD and Uncle Dick scolding him to sit still and don't bother me, I'm busy screwing the American people.
