Dubya: “I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines…”

March 14th, 2008

I wonder if Bush knows the one about the most severely wounded American soldier?

Via: Reuters:

U.S. President George W. Bush got an earful on Thursday about problems and progress in Afghanistan where a war has dragged on for more than six years but been largely eclipsed by Iraq.

In a videoconference, Bush heard from U.S. military and civilian personnel about the challenges ranging from fighting local government and police corruption to persuading farmers to abandon a lucrative poppy drug trade for other crops.

Bush heard tales of all-night tea drinking sessions to coax local residents into cooperating, and of tribesmen crossing mountains to attend government meetings seen as building blocks for the country’s democracy-in-the-making.

“I must say, I’m a little envious,” Bush said. “If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.”

“It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You’re really making history, and thanks,” Bush said.

    What a piece of shit he is. If my kid were coming home in a body bag, or leaving half his body over there, and this rich-man’s son, who didn’t even fulfill his cushy military obligations back when he had a chance, said this… I’d freak out.

  2. I couldn’t agree more. It would bring me immense pleasure to afford him that opportunity.

    See, it’s these little nothings that creep me out the most; surreal. And thanks Kevin for the excerpt from ‘They Thought They Were Free’ – fitting, and no doubt understated for modern times. I know, we really are screwed beyond all imagination.

    Its not that George Bush Jr. is an asshole, or a ‘shit’. He has been under intense psychological manipulation since birth. He was born into a slavery most cannot even fathom. Bush is a puppet, a mind controlled automaton in the truest sense. That he excites so much hatred and scorn is the result of a mirroring effect; He reflects slavery through the subconscious mind, something which all Americans share with him to varying degrees.

    It is surreal, very surreal, and even more surreal than anything this article might imply.

    Angelo,
    Well you almost make me feel sorry for the guy.
    Granted, the whole Bush family have been trained as Manchurian candidates.
    But aren’t we all candidates of our upbringing?
    Don’t some of us work damn hard to break out of our “slavery” boxes, either physically, mental, social or economic?
    I did. My sister did.
    As George would say “Its Hard Work.”
    GWB made his choices and he appears to have taken the line of least resistance in his life. No actions that I can see where he even tried to break out of the box.
    I cannot walk in his mocassins.
    But from where I sit in this world and at this time, I look at him and not only feel, but think, that he is an asshole and a shit.

    I call bullshit on the brainwashing suggestion. They are just very, very bad people. To suggest otherwise is to excuse their behaviour and almost forgive them for what they’ve done to the public. I would love nothing more than to see the Americans make his dream come true and drop him off in the mountains in Afghanistan with nothing but his “Mission Accomplished” flight suit. Asshole. It made me LOL to watch Carlyle Capital go tits up this week, George.

    Its obvious human self loathing runs deep. The insistence to anger rather than understanding is the entire issue in America; everyone is at war with everyone else. George Bush Jr was voted for by a great many Americans, stolen election or not, he represents something significant in the American psyche.

    Gore, the messiah of the environmental entrapment scheme is more self guided by a long shot, and I’m sure that had he become president America would be just fine right now…..right?

    The Bush family is largely self directed, George Bush Sr is not mind controlled in the typical sense of the word, Bush Jr on the other hand has never made a real decision in his life. Tortured from the age of newborn to manhood, he is a robot. You can get mad at a robot if you wish, though like I said it only reflects the level of American unconsciousness.

    I’m not suggesting that criminality be allowed or condoned; I am suggesting however that greater discernment be made as to where the true criminal intent is coming from. It’s far too easy to skim the surface when the depth of the situation requires much more energy and focus to penetrate.

    I suggest you all look into the works of Dr. Clotaire Rapaille, the modern E.Bernays. He doesn’t believe what people say about why they do things because, he says, he knows that people don’t know why they do things. On the whole I would suggest he’s right. As long as America and its people are subconscious beings, they will not understand their own actions. The responses on this board reflect this truth well.

    I would agree, Angelo, that “America and its people are subconscious beings”; but George Bush knows what a maimed body is, what an incinerated child is, and he knows that he and his friends will never have to see their children experience that kind of hell, even while he knowingly inflicts it on others. And that, the fact that however unconscious he may be, there is at least some part of him that is conscious and aware, is where my condemnation of him comes from. He is not simply a computer programmed to act in a single way. Ultimately, he has freedom of choice, and his choices are evil.

    As for this little piece of sophomoric crap, “The responses on this board reflect this truth well”, I understand my response very well. My son is less than 5 years away from being draft age, and if Cheney’s vision of a multi-generational “war on terror” comes true, my family faces a nightmare. Cheney, the Bush crime family, and those they work for have been waging war on us sub-elites for quite some time now. And while it might have scored academic points back in the early forties to urge “greater discernment be made as to where” Hitler’s “true criminal intent is coming from”, I would have told the self-important jackass who suggested such a thing, while millions were being slaughtered, to go fuck himself.

    Let’s see how much noble-sounding, ivory-tower bullshit you spout when it’s your kid.

    The reality is that we must all prepare to take the necessary steps to protect our families, this is a contextual truth that applies to all of us, your case is not so special.

    As regards historical fact and fiction, if the Germans were any more successful in consciously observing their situation than the Americans are now they would have recognized that their Fuhrer was a pawn of alien forces.

    And I agree, the parallels between these two cultures is at times quite striking.

    Anothernut you’re most probably right in stating that my comments were sophomoric, though I still believe they apply. And anyways, some sophomores do good work no? Some sophomores may even attempt to appeal to mans better judgement in pointing out that concepts of good and evil are far too subjective to have any value in a meaningful dialogue.

    It’s always hard to reconcile viewpoints even with factual observation, throw in concepts such as good and evil and the soup is fit for none.

    Understanding the subconscious is about seeing cognition as it occurs and following it back to its root in the subconscious imaginary landscape. Concepts of good and evil are always equated with particular images, what are you seeing in your minds eye when you think of ‘good’ anothernut?

    Angelo,

    “your case is not so special” NO SHIT! DID I EVER SAY IT WAS? THE POINT IS, YOU CAN PONTIFICATE ALL DAY LONG WITH YOUR “DEEP” ARGUMENTS, BUT IT’S NOT A PRACTICAL SOLUTION, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, FOR WHAT’S GOING ON.

    I offer a simple analogy: there’s a rabid dog loose in your house, he’s leaping at your child. Do you stop and consider the source of the dog’s infection, what kind of feeding and roaming habits might have exposed it to the disease? The origins of rabies, and its epidemiological idiosyncrasies? Or do you do what you have to do, killing it, perhaps, if it’s your only option?

    And yes, I get it, you’re a psych and/or philosophy major — a sophomore, it seems! — and you think you’re above it all, especially cavemen like me who don’t want to indulge in mental masturbation all day and call it genius. And I’m willing to bet you’re not a parent, either. For if you were, you could answer your own question, about what you see in your mind’s eye when you think of ‘evil’. I’m sure you have a high IQ. But there’s something you won’t really understand until you find yourself telling someone else the same thing: some knowledge only comes with age and experience, and none of us, if we’re really alive, are above it all.

  12. Angelo says:

    I am a parent anothernut, but that is an aside.

    I wish you well in the times ahead, we all need to be prepared, each in our own way I suppose.

    Cheers

    Angelo,
    Who and what are you, CIA?
    Pick up your shoe phone and get smart-ER!

    May we meet someday, Angelo, when there is nothing better to do than discuss this all over cocktails (or the beverage of your choice). Heck, you’re all invited…
