Bush, Iran, & Terror -- Reading Between the Lines
Friday, September 22, 2006
Every time the President reads a speech written for him by a smart person, the irony is delicious. Here are my five favorite lines from his performance at the U.N. this past Tuesday:
- "The world can be ours, if we seek it..." -- Was this meant to sound imperialistic? Because if so, job well done.
- "Imagine what it's like to be a young person living in a country that is not moving toward reform...you are powerless to change the course of your government...you have been fed propaganda and conspiracy theories that blame others for your country's shortcomings." -- Why am I finding it extremely easy to imagine this 'hypothetical' scenario?
- "My country desires peace." -- We just have a very funny way of showing it.
- "To the people of Iran, the United States respects you." -- We just have a very funny way of showing it.
- "Freedom, by its nature, cannot be imposed." -- Ummm...hellooo???
