Although the man IS a giant cock and his policies are completely FUBAR, Saddam Hussein would also merrily nerve gas/nuke you and everyone else in the country if he got the chance. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Burrows [mailto:Andy.Burrows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 26 June 2002 09:04 To: 'pr0k@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [pr0k] Re: About fucking time! These are extracts from Bush's speech that I found particularly ironic. The speech is in its entirety at www.bbc.co.uk/news "For too long, the citizens of the Middle East have lived in the midst of death and fear. The hatred of a few holds the hopes of many hostage." "The forces of extremism and terror are attempting to kill progress and peace by killing the innocent." "The current situation offers no prospect that life will improve." - On an amazingly ironic level, this line is repeated several times! "And this casts a dark shadow over an entire region. For the sake of all humanity, things must change in the Middle East." "My vision is two states, living side by side, in peace and security. There is simply no way to achieve that peace until all parties fight terror." "I call upon them to build a practicing democracy based on tolerance and liberty." "If the Palestinian people actively pursue these goals, America and the world will actively support their efforts." "If the Palestinian people meet these goals, they will be able to reach agreement with Israel and Egypt and Jordan on security and other arrangements for independence." "And when the Palestinian people have new leaders, new institutions and new security arrangements with their neighbours, the United States of America will support the creation of a Palestinian state, whose borders and certain aspects of its sovereignty will be provisional until resolved as part of a final settlement in the Middle East." "A Palestinian state will never be created by terror. It will be built through reform." "Today the elected Palestinian legislature has no authority and power is concentrated in the hands of an unaccountable few." "The United States... will increase our humanitarian assistance to relieve Palestinian suffering." "Today, Palestinian authorities are encouraging, not opposing terrorism." "If they energetically take the path of reform, the rewards can come quickly." "I've said in the past that nations are either with us or against us in the war on terror. To be counted on the side of peace, nations must act." "Every nation actually committed to peace must block the shipment of Iranian supplies to these groups and oppose regimes that promote terror, like Iraq." - HE'S A FUCKING INSANE NAZI! "Leaders who want to be included in the peace process must show this by their deeds and undivided support for peace." - Peace on Bush's terms... "And Israel should release frozen Palestinian revenues into honest, accountable hands." - I wonder whose? As a final word, the ONLY nation state to be accused of international terror is the United States of America. America then renounced this court and basically said they did not recognise it. I'm sorry if this was long or bored you, but I found this speech pretty fucking sickening, and I'd rather be informed and hear peoples opinions on it than just ignore it.
