There is not much what I could say about this, I sincerely hope Yahoo News would have screwed this one up. Basically I cannot believe what I'm reading.

Sometimes I think Bush is like a ****ing troll in the White House and he's doing it all for the lulz.

Then I remember he's an idiot and feel sad.  :(

I think they got the Context screwed, they've worded as though he's saying 'If Iran go Nuclear, we will start WWIII', where what I think he meant to imply was 'If Iran Nuke Israel, it will be the start of WWIII'. That, in itself, is hardly new information.

Without hearing the whole speech I couldn't say for certain, but Bush does have a habit of using sentences when paragraphs are needed.

The whole 'not generalizing people based on country' applies to states too. There are lots of smart people from Texas, and I'm one of them. Or how about Texas Instruments? They've got to be a bunch of retards to make DLP chips and such. :doubt:

Well there is the saying that "every village has its' idiot" and a town in Texas is missing their's, so it must be a pretty smart town now.  Therefore, at least one place in Texas is smart...and I'm not from Texas either.

You know what's funny? We've already established the fact that Bush is stupid. Yet, for some reason, we're as surprised as we are by this.

Yeah, I'm not sure why everybody is surprised. Nuking things is bad, certainly. This quote, as it seems, is just Bush saying "Well, I think we should stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Because then they'll nuke Israel and then the world will once more be embroiled in a vast conflict that will know no end, until the last human on earth collapses, twitching, and on fire."

Only without the eloquence.

A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

Either they fixed the quote or I just understand Bushilese better than almost everyone else.  What he meant, as far as I'm concerned, is pretty damned obvious.  I'm no Bush fan (ooh potential triple entendre!), but I'm not a mindless hater that immediately assumes everything the guy says is a public announcement that he has an IQ in the mid-80s.  Say 'hi' to reality, kids.  You don't get into positions like that by being the moron the general populace believes him to be.

Bush is a snide, sarcastic ass (ironic!) that couldn't speak well in public to save his life and wouldn't know eloquence if it kicked him directly in the ass.  He's practically the average joe that makes poor decisions based on bad information and puts trust in the wrong people.  He's a used-car salesman with a larger-than-normal set of cojones.  Used car salesmen do not need to be voted into public office.  Unfortunately, the other options were just as bad, if not worse for other reasons.  I can't wait until the anti-Christ gets voted into office next year!

Its just the usual sensationalist stuff...nothing really concrete at this point. Lets hope there isn't a WWIII.  Lets hope that whoever gets in office in 2008 can make some international stuff work without resorting to starting multiple wars.
