These, my friends, are our leaders......
Now being a person who talks a lot, I can understand freudian slips or word jumbles. But I tend to hold people of significant power to higher standards when they are making bold and political statements. Should I not? Are these not the people we should turn to for answers? Are these not the people making the decisions that ultimately affect our existence?
In light of the fact that I am having a particularly hard time keeping myself from flinging random items at the television every time I see one of our "leaders", I have decided to uses a this blog as a bit of therapy.
So with no further ado I present to you a few my favorite stupid things our leaders have said, in no particular order. And since I am loathing Dick Cheney a bit more today than usual, I will start with him.
Dick Cheney on dealing with terrorists:
"I think you have to destroy them. It's the only way to deal with them."
Does anyone else think he is channeling a deceased leader from Germany? Hmm...... ponder that for a while.
"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." --March 16, 2003
"I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." -- on the Iraq insurgency, June 20, 2005
"Go f*ck yourself." --to Sen. Patrick Leahy, during an angry exchange on the Senate floor about profiteering by Halliburton, June 25, 2004
On we go to Donald Rumsfeld......
"As you know, you go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time." —Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, responding to a U.S. soldier serving in Iraq who asked him why troops had to dig through scrap metal to armor vehicles, Dec. 8, 2004 (Source)
"I am not going to give you a number for it because it's not my business to do intelligent work." --Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, asked to estimate the number of Iraqi insurgents while testifying before Congress, Feb. 16, 2005
Wow, good stuff huh? And finally, everyones personal favorite:
"I mean, there was a serious international effort to say to Saddam Hussein, you're a threat. And the 9/11 attacks extenuated that threat, as far as I-concerned." —George W. Bush, Philadelphia, Dec. 12, 2005
"You see, not only did the attacks help accelerate a recession, the attacks reminded us that we are at war." —George W. Bush, on the Sept. 11 attacks, Washington, D.C., June 8, 2005
And my personal favorite:
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." —George W. Bush, Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005 (Listen to audio)
Alright, I feel a little bit better now that I got to take out my frustrations posting this stuff. At least my television is spared for one more day.( but between you and me that box has been cruisin for a brusin' for quite some time now anyway)
