Podcast Review: President's Weekly Address 8/27/05

excerpt:
During the past two weeks, Prime Minister Sharon and the Israeli people took a courageous and painful step by removing Israeli settlements in Gaza and parts of the northern West Bank. I congratulate the Prime Minister for his bold leadership.
Now that Israel has withdrawn, the way forward is clear. The Palestinians must show the world that they will fight terrorism and govern in a peaceful way. We will continue to help the Palestinians to prepare for self government and to defeat the terrorists who attack Israel and oppose the establishment of a peaceful Palestinian state.

DOESN’T BUSH KNOW THE PARALLELS PPL ARE DRAWING FROM ISRAEL’S WITHDRAWAL FROM GAZA? FOR INSTANCE, GET OUT OF IRAQ MAYBE?

excerpt:

The terrorists are trying to stop the rise of democracy in Iraq because they know a free Iraq will deal a decisive blow to their strategy to dominate the Middle East. But the Iraqi people are determined to build a free future for their nation, and they are uniting against the terrorists.

COLOR ME CONFUSED, BUT THAT LITTLE STATEMENT IS JUST A BIT MUCH. DOESN’T A FREE IRAQ DEAL A DECISIVE BLOW TO THE AMERICAN STRATEGY TO DOMINATE THE MIDDLE EAST?

commentary:
Look I’m all for invading Iraq. I mean, it had to be done some day. I mean, you can’t piss off a Middle Eastern country forever. Better to slit their throats now than have them atomic bomb you later. But if you can’t win thoroughly—which the Americans have shown that they can’t---then you make peace. You can’t fight China, the Middle East, and the last dying remnant of communism that is North Korea all at once. And certainly not by yourself.

Well, you could try. And you could die. Very, very hard.

Anyways I thought, this Potus Podcast was especially weird since he was using words like domination and strategy and power in a reflective way. Saying that it was the enemy doing these things when we’re practically doing the same thing but from the flip perspective.

Don't get me wrong. Governments aren’t supposed to be honest. They’re supposed to keep the citizens safe, healthy, content, and fed. But for god’s sakes, don’t sound like a dick when you do your governin’, governor.
