#1: Das erklärt so einiges... Autor: Shadaik, Wohnort: MGVerfasst am: 04.08.2003, 09:40 — Einige Zitate aus dem Weißen Haus, die einiges erklären dürften:
"The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production."
George Bush on signing the 911 Commission Bill on November 27, 2002
"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things."
- Bush, reassuring us that the wartime president of the most powerful nation on earth does not think too much.
"We ended the rule of one of history's worst tyrants, and in doing so we not only freed the American people, we made our own people more secure."
- Bush, on regime change in the United States?
"It will take time to restore chaos and order..."
- Bush, speaking to reporters about the situation in Iraq
"The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein and his willingness to terrorize himself."
"The Iraqi regime is a threat to any American and to threats who are friends of America."
"There's no doubt in my mind that we should allow the world worst leaders to hold America hostage, to threaten our peace, to threaten our friends and allies with the world's worst weapons."
"There's no bigger task than protecting the homeland of our country."
"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it."
"Wait for us to succeed peace. Wait for us to have two states, side by side - is for everybody coming together to deny the killers the opportunity to destroy."
Did anyone understand that sentence?
"And as I said in my State of the Union, the idea is to see that a car born today - I mean, a child born today will be driving a car, as his or her first car, which will be powered by hydrogen and pollution-free."
"I mentioned early on that I recognize there are hurdles, and we're going to achieve those hurdles."
"This is a - this is a - any strike's a tough - tough situation, but this one happens to come at a - or a lockout is a tough situation, or no work is a tough situation - is to come at bad time."
#2: Autor: Critic, Wohnort: Arena of AirVerfasst am: 05.08.2003, 00:30 — Wenn etwa ein Helmut Kohl sich eine Serie von Versprechern liefert, sagen Psychologen von ihm, daß er schneller denke als er reden könne, und sich deshalb verhaspele.
Angesichts des dramatischen Wertes des IQ von George W. Bush (verschiedenen Quellen zufolge 89 oder 91 [nach welchem System eigentlich - schon nach dem hierzulande verwendeten System unterdurchschnittlich, würde es nach dem nicht auf 100 normierten, in USA verwendeten System richtig kritisch]) ist das aber von ihm nicht anzunehmen. Vielleicht ist das mit dem IQ aber auch nur ein Witz gewesen, und das, was er von sich gibt, resultiert aus einem Gehirnschaden, der wiederum vom Saufen kommen könnte. Oder er hat einfach nur Lampenfieber, und sein Lieblings-Kinderbuch ist nur deshalb "Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt", weil er es früher seinen Töchtern vorgelesen hat und die dabei immer am besten einschlafen konnten.
Wie sagte Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf so schön: "Wir rösten ihre Mägen über dem Feuer der Hölle."
