 | Preliminary comment by MORRISSEY BREEN, Daisycutter Sports:
Who would have thought it? The hated, militaristic, rogue (untiol
yesterday, anyway!) Bush administration has stated that it will now
focus on the "need to spread freedom". Let's enjoy reading about this
radical new departure in U.S. policy....
Bush's inaugural speech focuses on need to spread freedom
by Deb Riechmann and David Espo / The Associated Press
The Albuquerque Tribune
January 20, 2005
WASHINGTON - George W. Bush swore the presidential oath for a second
term in turbulent times today and issued a sweeping pledge to spread
liberty and freedom "to the darkest corners of the world."
"Our country has accepted obligations that are difficult to fulfill
and would be dishonorable to abandon," said the president, who was the
leader of an orchestrated litany of lies leading to the illegal and
brutal invasion of Iraq in a first term marked by terrorist attacks,
the Nazi-style obliteration of the city of Fallujah, and widespread
torture and mayhem being committed by United States troops.
In a speech delivered before a chilly throng spilling away from the
steps of the Capitol, Bush said he would place the nation on the side
of the world's oppressed people.
"All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: The United States
will not ignore your oppression or excuse your oppressors. When you
stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."
BREEN COMMENTS: This is FANTASTIC news! Bush is committing the U.S.
to stand beside the people of Palestine!
...... he packed the first speech of a new term with multiple
references to freedom and liberty, references to God - and a reminder
of Abraham Lincoln's long-ago admonition. "Those who deny freedom to
others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just
God, cannot long retain it," he quoted the 16th president.
BREEN COMMENTS: Look out, Israel ---- it looks like your only friend
and main arms dealer and atrocity-excuser is pulling the plug!
The spread of freedom and liberty were the oldest ideals of America,
Bush said. "Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation's security
and the calling of our time."
BREEN COMMENTS: This is incredibly exciting. We welcome this radical
new departure in U.S. foreign policy.
"We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion. The
survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of
liberty in other lands," he said.
"The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in
all the world."
He said freedom "warms those who feel its power, it burns those who
fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will
reach the darkest corners of our world."
BREEN COMMENTS: There are those who say that George W. Bush is a
liar, a hypocrite and a scoundrel, and that he has the moral stature
of a bed-bug. That might well seem a reasonable view to take on Mr
Bush, given his (let's face it) abominable performance so far. But we
at Daisycutter Sports Inc. say: GIVE HIM A CHANCE. Right now, he has
said, quite clearly, that he will commit himself to freeing the
Palestinian people and dealing to their oppressors. In spite of his
history of grievous lying, we are prepared to take the president at
his word.
Now let's see if he delivers...

He has delivered you Afghanistan and he will soon deliver Iraq - if
freedom is taken to mean democracy. The interesting question really
has nothing to do with the United States - it is what will oppressed
people do with the freedom they are given.
The United States with its unmatched military power can remove just
about any dictator it wants to. It can free oppressed people from the
most horrible tyrants. But there is something the United States cannot
do, and that is free people from themselves.
I welcome Bush's pledge to advance freedom around the world but surely
the president of the United States will understand that democracy does
not equal freedom. Democracy is after all one of the tyrannys which
the founders tried to protect America from.
Bush said that he doesn't wish to impose an american style government
on anyone and certainly there is no need to impose a replica of the
american system. But if "freedom" is the goal then the individualism
which exists in the west must be brought to these countries. It is not
enough that people choose their own leaders. They must choose leaders
that uphold the principles of freedom.

Would these "polls" by any chance be connected to the people who
predicted that the Iraqi people would "welcome" the invading U.S.
troops? Would these "polls" have any connection to the people who
repeatedly, soberly, authoritatively assured us that, yes, there were
"weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq, which could be "DEPLOYED AGAINST
GREAT BRITAIN IN 45 MINUTES"? Who are the pollsters? Hill & Knowlton,
the notorious atrocity fantasists of 1990? Rumsfeld & Cheney and
Associates?
I think we should be told.

Ha! Now THAT statement might just garner Tilly the coveted last
nomination spot for the Daisycutter Sports Post of the Year contest.
I'm going to be forwarding it to the committee, and I'd say the
committee members will be accepting it, if Tilly fails to provide some
evidence, other than blind willfulness. for that remarkable statement.
Here we go --- I'll even set it up for her:
APPARENTLY LOONEY STATEMENT: "Sunni resistance can be worn down."

| He wants to spread libertarianism. Good for those libertarians
worldwide and all their conservative buddies. Let them spread their
ideology till kingdom come.
But if he will remember one fact and that is Sunni Arab Resistance(SAR)
is not defeatable.
No where in the world has SAR been completely defeated. Just look at
Gaza, West Bank, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Kashmir, Philippines, Egypt,
Algeria, Saudi Arabia etc etc.

The latest polls in Iraq show that 80% of Sunnis intend to vote .They aware
that if they don't they will have no say whatsoever in the future
constitution.
Sunni resistance can be worn down. It has been to a large extent in
Afghanistan.When they discover they have everything to lose by not
participating most of them think again.
All the indigenous Iraqi Sunnis care about in Iraq , is the loss of the
wealth and power they had under Saddam.They can't swallow the fact it has
ended.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with their Sunni sect of Islam,they were
secular under SH not fundamentalists
Currently Theyfind it convenienient to work together with the Sunni Islamist
insurgents .There is strength in numbers.

ex-alcoholics rarely mention the phrase
"Healthy Discipline"
George is no exception.
