Bushs Stupidity May Cause Head to Implode
Our great leader is currently in Russia attending the G-8 conference. He took some time out of pretending to know what was going on in the meetings to hold a joint news conference with Putin. It did not go well. Heres what born-again Christian Bush had to say:
"I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq where there's a free press and free religion, and I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia would do the same.
Nice. Deluded, uninformed and insulting all in one sentence. Here are some examples of the freedom of religion that has occurred in Iraq in the last week:
Shiite militiamen set up checkpoints, inspected ID cards and killed 42 people they identified as being Sunnis. They also broke into homes and killed their inhabitants. Corpses were found in the street with drill holes and pierced by nails and bolts. In turn, the checkpoint killings spurred two more huge Sunni car bomb attacks in the Sadr-dominated neighborhood of Talbiyeh, killing 25 and wounding 41.
In a predominantly Sunni area of Dawra, a district in southern Baghdad, gunmen ambushed a bus carrying Shiite mourners from the holy city of Najaf, where they had buried a relative, government officials and family members said. The gunmen pulled 10 people from the bus and executed them, the Interior Ministry official said.
Two mortar grenades hit a Shiite mosque in Dawra, killing 9 and wounding 11 civilians, the Interior Ministry official said.
In other violence, a family of five - a father, mother, grown daughter and two teenage sons - were found beheaded in a predominantly Sunni sector of Dawra, according to an official at Yarmouk Hospital, the main medical facility in western Baghdad.
The killings this week are similar to the "Black Saturday" massacre in December 1975 that started the Lebanese civil war. On that day, Christian Phalangist militiamen stopped 40 Muslims at a checkpoint in Beirut and cut their throats. In retaliation, Muslim militiamen set up their own checkpoint and slaughtered Christians. Things in Lebanon did not go so well after that.
So what was Putin's response to religious fanatic George Bush's statement? He handled it like a man talking down to a child.
"We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy that they have in Iraq, quite honestly."
Those in the audience who understand Russian then burst into laughter.
