Wow! Stand by for more PEST and BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) when the Yabbuts and their followers read this
The man replacing the mayor of Baghdad — who was assassinated for his pro-American loyalties — says he is not worried about his ties to Washington. In fact, he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush in the middle of the city."We will build a statue for Bush," said Ali Fadel, the former provincial council chairman. "He is the symbol of freedom."
Does Michael Moore know about this?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Posted by denny at January 31, 2005 03:45 PMHahahaha, Oh my god. Watch Mike Moore say that Bush bribed him, and that the statue is actually holding those lost votes for Gore in the 2000 election.
Posted by: Young Con on January 31, 2005 03:52 PMYeah, have the GWB statue to replace the old Saddam statue that was brought down on liberation day.
Posted by: rey on January 31, 2005 08:06 PMI can't wait to see it, when it's finally unveiled....and also, the drool dripping from the lips of John Fonda Kerry and Ted "I can tread water" Kennedy. Payback is soooooooo wonderful!
Posted by: Vulgorilla on January 31, 2005 09:06 PMThat's OK. Chirac's "erecting" Michael Moore in Paris.
Posted by: Paul on January 31, 2005 11:50 PMThere is still a lot of hard work left in Iraq.... but if it all goes as well as their election did, I can't wait to see peoples faces when they unveil that sucker! Oooooooooooooh I would pay to see the look on their faces.
Posted by: Ryley R. Hayes on February 1, 2005 11:19 AMAre they erecting this statue before or after the Iraqi civil war?
Posted by: Jimmy on February 1, 2005 05:24 PMReally pisses you off doesn't it Jimmy?
Posted by: denny on February 1, 2005 06:33 PMUmmm, no.
Posted by: Jimmy on February 2, 2005 11:41 AMA civil war implies a disparity within Iraq--amongst its citizens--in which both sides feel only bloodshed can resolve. I know who is on one side, those 65-70% of voting age who participated in the elections.
Who is on the other? al-Zarqawi and his group of decapitators? They are not even Iraqi. Other assorted foreign terrorists? The Sunni minority that used to control Iraq under the iron fist of Saddam? The assorted Iraqis who liked it better when Saddam was around because they flourished under his rule? The rape-room administrators? The torture chamber brigade? Who?
If the Sunnis: Given that the majority of all Sunnis are concentrated in one region of Iraq (with the oh so witty title "The Sunni Triangle"), are they likely to start a civil war with the US military able to encircle their areas and lay siege to them?
Who is going to fund this civil war? Where will they get weapons? War is expensive. Being centrally located within Iraq might make it hard to take delivery of Syrian/Iranian weapons (or people) with the US military surrounding you.
This is all moot, however. There were cries a year ago that there would be a civil war (and famine, and refugees, and chemical weapons--that simultaneously do not exist, according to our self-appointed self-aggrandizing betters--used on our troops, etc., etc.). Where was it? If they did not do it then, when they had Saddam's money, hundreds of thousands of tons of munitions (that Saddam leisurely transferred because we fruitlessly wasted time with the UN for half a year), and the US military only in the lower regions of Iraq (thank you, Turkey)...why would they do it now, after thousands of them have been killed, their money dwindling, munitions confiscated and millions of Iraqi citizens bravely defying them with their vote on January 30th?
Just wondering.
