Mr. Bush said there is a tendency in American economic and foreign policy to pull-back in times of uncertainty, with some people asking why Washington should try to compete or spread freedom when the world is a dangerous place.

The president said that it would be a missed opportunity to lay the foundation of peace for generations to come.

"See, part of my foreign policy is this," Mr. Bush said. I believe that there is an Almighty, and I believe that the Almighty's gift to everybody on the face of the earth, regardless of where they live, or regardless of their religion, is freedom. And I believe, deep in everybody's soul, is the deep desire to live in freedom. And I believe that this country, if it were to retreat, would miss an opportunity to help others realize their dream. And I also know that history has proven that free societies yield the peace that we all want."

Crusades anyone?

1. "And what kind of wikkid selfish leader would I be

if, seein' how blessed I am, I didn't share that gift freely in laser-guided 2,000lb packages unto ALL of God's children?"

[CottonBear]

2. He's freaking insane. n/t

[LSparkle]

3. That is NOT a well man ... he's got some screws loose all right

4. And, Gandhi said in reply to such noble thoughts:

“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy.” - Gandhi

[Poiuyt]

36. What a great quote!

[ZapaPaine]

5. The village idiot even believes his own BS n/t

[fooj]

6. Foundation of Peace?

And I believe that this country, if it were to retreat

No, Little Lord Pissypants...but if YOU were to retreat...

THIS COUNTRY WOULD THROW THE BIGGEST CELEBRATION THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Peace.

[Punkingal]

29. It wouldn't just be this country...

It would be the whole world that would celebrate.

[DELUSIONAL]

33. You've got that right -- I'm overseas right now and

there is almost a universal hatred of bush. His only fans are the poor fools (Americans) who watch ONLY Faux news -- you know the unenlightened GOPigs.

The world can see that the boy emperor is naked. Very often non Americans tread softly when talking to expiate Americans, as if they are talking to cult members until they realize that we share their dislike for all things bushie.

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. I believe his is freaking nuts!

:crazy: Who turned this lunatic loose on the World? It's always about him, isn't it? Me Me Me I I I. A team of one, a legend in his own mind and what a sick mind it is. He even looks INSANE!

[Justpat]

8. His Messianic approach to foreign policy is nothing short

of psychotic.

9. OUR dream or THEIR dream

I guess that's the question... if you live in a society that is centuries old, religion based, and male-based, our idea of freedom conflicts with their very soul. Our idea of freedom comes from European based philosophers and a history of the rule of law as opposed to the rule of a religious mantra. They just don't get it.... Trying to impose democracy results in even more fundamental theocracies, surprising even those who are supposed to be smart enough and in touch enough to be able to predict those results, right Condo-lie-za?

[Duer 157099]

10. Paging Jon Stewart:

That image capture, with the voiceover of Bush saying "..I believe that there is an Almighty..."

cut to Jon doing Bush: "...and he's this big... see, he's got the whole world in his hands..."

c'mon Jon, I'll look for it

[kurth]

11. Fucking imbecile. How about freedom in America?

Freedom from being spied upon without a warrant.
Freedom from being arrested for wearing an anti-Bush t-shirt.

FUCK, what kind of country do we live in anyway - that we have to ask this fucking imbecile to PLEASE give us some FREEDOM?

[ClintonTyree]

12. Then why did the almighty allow the owning of slaves......

and even say how they were to be treated, during biblical times? It seems we have a conflict within the christian dogma here (one of many). How can this be? Either god, or bush, or both are full of crap. My money is on bush.

[Jackpine Radical]

13. Sincerity in your principles is the most important thing there is.

Once you learn to fake that, you've got it made.

[TahitiNut]

14. It's the "all MIGHTY, all righty" ...

He licks the foot and kisses the ass of a god of POWER and MIGHT and WRATH ... not peace, love, and understanding. It's all about power and lightning bolts, for Junior. What a fucking Gollum-suck!

[WinkyDink]

15. MonkeyBoy DARES suggest he knows ANYTHING about HISTORY???

OMG, my hatred knows no bounds for this evil psychopath (*waves to AG Gonzalez).

[DemonGoddess]

16. Crusades is

RIGHT on target. arrrggh WHAT a moron

[pitohui]

17. well that's one of the dumbest things i've heard today

catch a clue train, if he was so freakin ALMIGHTY and he wanted em to be free (whatever that means) they'd be free

if the so-called ALMIGHTY needs the help of puny humans to achieve his dubious objections, then perhaps he is not so ALMIGHTY and we needn't trouble our pretty heads about it

time for the ALMIGHTY to prove some of this omnipotence by actually doing something an omnipotent being would do, a magical overnight sex change overnight of all males in taliban by decree of the ALMIGHTY would likely convince me for one that such a being can actually be arsed to exist

[sabra]

20. here's my question, was he spewing this ad hoc, or do they actually

prepare this insanity before?

[donkeyotay]

18. Oh, so it wasn't a war of aggression after all. King Geo. wasn't protecting

us from mushroom clouds. No the real reason we spent all that blood and treasure invading Iraq is that we didn't want to miss an opportunity to help others realize their dream.

So the freedom on the march and democracy thing is a little shaky, and we're not too sure about the rape rooms and torture, but I sure hope Iraq is grateful for the opportunity to realize their dream.

BTW, I say a mental health official from Iraq as part of a panel on C-Span talking about drug abuse. He said many Iraqis are on anti-anxiety medications. They are expecting Iraq to have a big drug abuse problem, too, just as soon as the war dies down enough for them to have income. I suppose in some circles that'll be described as another success.

Edited to add: God wanted me to post this.

[Auntie Bush]

35. Well then their population is about to drastically drop because

I believe they execute drug users in Muslim countries. :shrug:

[ZapaPaine]

19. The Almighty of Bush's deluded mind...

Bush in photo: "The Almighty endowed me with balls this big so that I could have the testosterone to take on the dreaded evildoers and bogeymen that want to destroy our way of life"

The entire world desires to live in freedom from you, George W. Bush. They want to live in freedom from American foreign policy.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. I believe in crocks of shit!

And if that ain't a crock of shit I ain't ever seen, or heard one!

I look for lightning bolts, every time a GOPer opens his or her lying pie holes anymore.

[rodeodance]

24. oh jr is just getting ready to cup some more heads-maybe for a kiss?

[sinkingfeeling]

22. If there were an 'Almighty', why hasn't he/she/it struck down this

miserable POS?

[napi21]

23. I believe that too. I want to be free of YOU!

I want to be free to attend ANY political speech I choose, without being throuwn out as a trouble maker!

I want to be free to speak on the phone to anyone, without wondering if YOU are listening!

I want to be free to picket the WH without being arrested as a dissident!

Last, I want YOU to be free from what you think is your job so you can return to Crawford to cut brush and milk horses!!!!

[Hubert Flottz]

25. I wish he'd wait till quitting time on Fridays to get dog drunk!

Like everyone else has to!

[enid602]

26. "..I believe that there is an Almighty"

. . . and I'm afraid that we may soon collectively experience His wrath.

[boobooday]

27. Translation: God tells me to kill people n/t

[RB TexLa]

28. Said by more than a few, but you also have to walk the walk

"Despite what I consider to be a constitutional and biblical requirement for the separation of church and state, I must acknowledge that my own religious beliefs have been inextricably entwined with the political principles I have adopted."

James Earl Carter

"But peace does not rest in the charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of all people. So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace in the hearts and minds of all of our people. I believe that we can. I believe the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach of human beings."

John Kennedy

[laruemtt]

30. he is THE most

deluded person that's ever lived. interesting times, indeed....................

[uppityperson]

31. we're giving them what they want,they just don't know what to do with it

I heard a woman say this on an airplane shortly after the first invasion of Fallujah.

[RC]

32. How would the US government react if the dictator leader of China or

Russia were to talk and act like bu$hco? Ignoring and twisting the law. Spouting reality challenged lies, invading innocent countries, killing the civilians because there is no military defending that country.

I do believe our government would be quite concerned.

[RPM]

34. what a fucking asshead

[Mr_Spock]

37. An embarrassment we will have to live with for the rest of our lives

He is the most awful leader we have ever had, and probably ever will.

A disgrace.

Disgusting.

Did I say I was ashamed for our country??

:(:(:(

38. God as a foreign policy
