President George W. Bush
Politico Interview
May 12, 2008
Mike Allen from The Politico interviewed President Bush today in advance of his trip to the Middle East.
During the conversation, the president was asked about Jimmy Carter:
QUESTION: Now, Mr. President, President Carter recently told Charlie Rose the next President could change America's image in 10 minutes. Here's what he said: "I think the next President could change the image of this country around the world in 10 minutes by making an inaugural speech that would start off and say, 'As long as I'm President we will never torture another prisoner, as long as I'm President we will never attack or invade another country unless our own security is directly threatened.'"And it should be noted that following in Jimmy's footsteps Barack Obama advisors want to put Jerusalem on the negotiating table.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, well, what he ought to be saying is, is that America doesn't torture. If the implication there is that we do now, then he's wrong. And you bet we're going to protect ourselves by the use of military force. What he really is implying is -- or some imply -- you can be popular; if you want to be popular in the Middle East just go blame Israel for every problem. That will make you popular. Or if you want to be popular in Europe, say you're going to join the International Criminal Court.
Popularity is fleeting, Michael. Principles are forever.
Bush also said during the interview that he was concerned that if a Democrat wins the presidency in November and withdrew troops prematurely from Iraq it would lead to a doomsday scenario.

re: [Bush also said during the interview that he was concerned that if a Democrat wins the presidency in November and withdrew troops prematurely from Iraq it would lead to a doomsday scenario.]
this is true, however, win or lose, it hasn't stopped them from trying for a doomsday scenario for the past several years..
ps: i don't know why they haven't printed so many other things he's said, guess they were afraid he'd look good or sumphin'.. gah!!

Sadly Bush is a day late and a dollar short commenting on Carter...
ReplyDeleteNone the less I'm glad he finally said something...
"Sadly Bush is a day late and a dollar short commenting on Carter..."
ReplyDeleteAu contraire, Americans in the Jewish community who endlessly help to keep Democrats in power are a day late and a dollar short.
All the while Sen Chuck Schumer and the gang attacked America, GWB, all things Republican and want to make Iraq a failure they have allowed for the opportunity to insure Israel's destruction.
So if Israel is wiped from the face of the planet remember it was Democrats whose sabotage against America led to the destruction.
THe ultimate insane and suicidal approach is when American in the Jewish community screaming how American is an imperialist evil led by BushhilterneoconMcNazis for oil BUT American need to protect Israel at all costs.
Perhaps is because I live in NYC however it isn't a good idea to crap all over your country and your friends then demand they come to your defense whenh dire circumstances arise.
Good Luck Israel: you're going to need it when Sen Chuck Schumer and the gang will have all the power to insure your destruction; the the saying 'you are your own worst enemy" mean anything?
The Dems do not realize that as Isreal goes so goes the world. how can they not realize this. God will not let anyone destroy Isreal unless it is the end.
ReplyDeleteIsrael is a rebellious state and needs to be taught a lesson on world powers, they are not with it!
ReplyDeleteNiall Ferguson on Why the World Needs McCain (vid clip): he's credible as a "bomb Iran-er", hence has leverage. Hillary and Oblabla, not so much.
