unformed 0 #26 June 27, 2006 QuoteSmall point... What does 9/11 have to do with Dubbie wanting to spend a load of (government) money on Nuclear Reactors? It doesn't. He is simply trying to protect the environment. Of course, I'm sure you couldn't believe that a Republican could want to help the environment without having ulterior motives. Why does everything he does -have- to support big business? He cares about the people too.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcimund 0 #28 June 27, 2006 QuoteGW is beyond ridiculous. On Sept 12, 2001 he was handed the World. For the first time in human history most of the World was united behind one person and what did he do. He pissed it all away. Five years later OBL is still at large, AQ has not been defeated, Iraq is a freaking mess, the war is going to cost us close to half a trillion dollars or more, over 2500 of our troops are dead, 130K Iraqis are displaced, and Afghanistan is off our radar screen.

He is simply trying to protect the environment.... Yeah... That's why he jumps straight from "Global warming is bad" (Since when Dubbie?) To:: ...his push for the United States to develop significant new nuclear energy capabilities. "The truth of the matter is, if this country wants to get rid of its greenhouse gases, we've got to have the nuclear power industry be vibrant and viable." he said. That's NOT concern for the environment. That's promoting Nuclear Power. WHY is he suddenly looking for an excuse to promote Nuclear Power? Not renewables. Not wind, wave or solar. Nuclear. Mike.

miked10270 0 #35 June 28, 2006 Speaking of the hilarious Dubbie: Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President this morning. He told Bush that 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. To everyone's amazement, all of the color ran from Bush's face, then he collapsed onto his desk, head in hands, visibly shaken, almost whimpering. Finally, he composed himself, turned to Rumsfeld and asked: "Just exactly how many is a brazillion?" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

AggieDave 6 #37 June 28, 2006 QuoteOh yeah that is right.. GOD talked to George Personally about all of this Find in my post where I said that. Please do, since I didn't. I was just stating that you were taking something completely out of context, as most people do with the Bible. Hell, that's what the terrorists have done with the Koran as well.

Amazon 7 #38 June 28, 2006 I was referring to this little gem. QuoteYou do realize that after that commandment was given to Moses, God ordered the slaughter of entire nations in the Bible? Not just the men, but the women, the children and even the livestock. Just food for thought while picking out individual pieces of the Bible to pass judgement on something. But Georgie Boy has repeatedly referred to god telling him to do things...I guess when you can blame the war on GOD its all good. http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/10_october/06/bush.shtml "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

Because he has finally learned how to pronounce 'nuclear' correctly and wanted to show off a bit? Good point! So... It's actually possible that he's been promoting a "nuclear power" and "green agenda" and wanting to "care for the environment" for years... But it's never been reported because no-one understood what he was saying!!? Are there reporters the world over poring over his old speeches and shouting stuff like: Bloody Hell. He actually said 'ENVIRONMENT'! It only sounded like 'ENRON' because of his pronounciation on the tape!" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Who was screaming that? I've always been in favour of Wind-Farms. The NIMBYs shouting about them "spoiling the scenery" have always struck me as short-sighted. "Outstanding Natural Beauty" is a bit academic if you don't have the energy to go there or the energy to go away from there! I think that heat, light and transport are also beautiful in a vital sort of way, and for those you need energy.

The GWB administration certinly is not fiscally conservative or for small government. For those topics (for me anyway) he sucks. We may part ways (from what one calls interferance and intrution) some on what is needed for the security of the country but those debates need to held regularly to keep government in check.
