Comments on: Bush 41 Defends Son To Arab Critics

'My Son Is An Honest Man,' Former President Tells Hostile UAE Crowd

[lestb35]

We hear very little about the black african/sub-sharan victims of the Arabs in the Sudan. Arab slave owners throughout much the Sahel (sub-sahara)...

Really, it's a silent genocide.

The Arabs are letting us reap the fruits of our mistakes. That's why they are not doing anything about the violence in Iraq. We went in with arrogance and stupidity and we are destined to leave defeated.

[spunkyspunky]

WHAT are arabs doing to stop the voilence in Iraq ???

NOTHING.

If GWB is honest I want no part of it. In his dad's eyes I am sure he feels W is as honest as the day is long. However, in a vast majority of people outside the family he does not score as well. If he is honest according to GHWB, then that only leaves incompetence as an explanation as to how we got to this point as a country. I truly believe that greed drives this family, capitalism is a good thing, but greed takes over. ENRON and others are primes examples. By the way, has anyone seen or heard from Condi Rice, *** Cheney lately ?

[americubano]

George Bush honest? George Bush is the true terrorist. He has no family values what so ever and needs to be taught a lesson. Voting the Republicans out of Congress is a great start. The next lesson should be placing a democrat back in the White House.
It's funny, today he pardoned a turkey for the holidays. One turkey on stage with another.
If the Bush's really care for this country, then get out of public service.

[frankly6]

This is how you end up with someone as arrogant and incompetent as W. His dad has been cleaning up after his mistakes for his entire life. He's never had to be acountable for anything.

[t-roller1]

I hope the world gives the Bushs more of the same straight talk! They live in such a bubble that this had to have been a great surprise for Papa Bush.

The Bush regime is a criminal act in progress. Bush and Cheney and co-conspirators sought objectives in Iraq which had nothing whatever to do with national security or al Qaeda. To conceal their designs, Bush, Cheney, et al lied to the American people in congress assembled, and to this day continue to lie about the reasons and justification for the American presence in Iraq.

The ten secret, multibillion-dollar military bases Halliburton builds are intended to provide American control of Iraqi oil for decades to come, and a power projection base for further American military intervention in the region. The billion-dollar American embassy bunker in the heart of Baghdad has essentially the same purpose.

The brazen criminal act of Bush and his co-conspirators goes down in history as the worst and most costly political scandal in American history, a black mark of shame on all who supported and endorsed Bush and his party. We who witness the suffering of American soldiers, their families and Iraqi civilians must do all in our power to end this criminal administration. Lies created Iraq, but more lies will not prevent disaster of major proportions.

gangbusta01 said, "What short memories we have. Don't keep telling me about oil..."
---

Here are some new things to remember-- Bush is a consumate con-man and political criminal. He displayed extraordinary talent early for graft and corruption, and is guilty of making at least his first million on insider trading with stocks he owned at the time from Harkin Energy. By selling the stocks on a tip from one of his "friends" just weeks before Harkin tanked, Bush effectively lied about their value to the buyer.

This was the first reward of many Bush experienced for becoming an accomplished prevaricator. As Prevaricator in Chief, Bush continues his criminal career in Iraq, which some suspect echoes his father's criminal involvement with Iran-Contra, a similarly scandalous enterprise also involving defiance of US law and the US Congress.

Bush the Criminal-- 2
Your memory for the idiotic defenses offered by Bush is nearly perfect, but their logic is still missing. For example, the "virgin heartland defense" ignores the fact the American heartland was violated at 911 because of Bush apathy in heeding warnings about al Qaeda as many as eight months prior to 911.

Lives saved? Where? We have lost more American lives in Iraq and Afghanistan than at 911. You call that an accomplishment? As Iraq disintegrates in slow motion, what aspect of the daily carnage do you call success?

[alphaa10-2009]

Bush the Criminal-- 3
You say Bush has the courage to stand up to "you"-- do you mean the American people who voted his party a big thumbs down? You may call that "courage" but most of us polled call it the desperation of a cornered political criminal. You say Busy is patient-- since when? It was "stay the course" only until he denied it to George Stephanopoulos, on camera.

You ask us to think of the savings in lives if Americans backed their leaders. Actually, the ones getting killed did back their commander in chief. Has it occurred to you this is one of many reasons Americans are so angry at a bogus Bush, declaring a bogus war for bogus purposes?

And support GOP leaders? What leaders? Sorry to be the first to tell you, but Americans elected some new leaders because the old ones no longer merit their support. You can call that a vote of "no confidence" if you wish, or the public exposure of Bush and his criminal career.

[grumpas]

It's obvious gangbuster01 was the first in line to get his daily dose of Bush propaganda! People like him are as nauseating as their "wannabe" leader! When are you Republican's going to get through your head what a terrorist is????? They are very similar to the Mafia! They aren't going to be defeated by invading countries or with an army! They are going to be defeated the way the British are doing it! Through hours of painstaking surveylance, informants, following the money and etc. Bush has conducted his so called war on terror *** backwards as he always does! We also aren't going to defeat them until we try and understand a little about them! So, get off your white charger and go back to the drawing board Alexander!

[tibu987]

Daddy meant "honestly stupid" or "honest, he's stupid".
Trying to salvage the reputation of his son the ex-Prez is simply doing what dad's do, protect their offspring.
Unfortunately, in this, the job is just too big for junior and the ramifications too horrific.
On the bright side, junior will soon ne out of a job and he can continue playing with his toy soldiers.
3,700 Iraqi's killed in one month, incredible.
I am confident that the Iraqi''s do not look at the U.S. as it's saviors.
Thanks, but no thanks.

[antoniof123]

You all seem so surprised what did you think. Tired of causing problems at home and the world maybe we should be isolated because these two are lost and should not be running a country. Did we not get ride of daddy for Bill maybe we should call him back. Wait they tried everything to discredit him and really they did fail. Of course the Republicans tried everything to hide what is really going on and they failed. Anyone see the parallel or have we all truly been brainwashed.

[mickeyjay31-2009]

Honest? I doubt it...stupid, for sure!

[abbe7]

"BY the way, how many times have the terrorist attacked our soil since we've been in Iraq and Afghanistan?"

Depends whom you call the terrorists ...

Al Qaeda ? never after, never before

But if you talk about Cheney&co : once, just before.

[gangbuster01]

What short memories we have. Don't keep telling me about oil. What cars do you drive? Remember 9-11? Terrorist on our soil ring a bell? Do you really think they went away or do you think they know what little attention span we "Americans" have. Patience is the war they are fighting. President Bush has the strength to stand up to you and do the right thing. Just think what the savings of lives would be if the American public backed our leaders and showed unity and strength instead of playing politics. BY the way, how many times have the terrorist attacked our soil since we've been in Iraq and Afghanistan?

[abbe7]

"When your son's under attack, it hurts."
I guess that when your son is killed in Iraq, it hurts too ... but that won't happen to the Bush, Cheney, etc families, right ?

[luvny-2009]

"We do not respect your son. We do not respect what he's doing all over the world," a woman in the audience bluntly told the former president after his speech.

Mr. Bush, 82, appeared stunned as others in the audience whooped and whistled in approval.

LOL where the heck has Daddy been the last how many years. But then again he is SO USE TO CLEANING UP JR'S MESSES.
Those people are not fooled they know why Bush attacked..money oil money oil
