Obama vs Howard

A Labour leader (Latham) can call the sitting US President the most dangerous man ever to hold that office; Bob Brown can insult the same man in Parliament in an extremely churlish manner but the PM can’t criticise an American Junior Senator. Yeah right. No double standards here. Rudd in the house;
To accuse the Democratic Party of the United States of being al-Qaeda’s party of choice, to accuse the Democratic party of being the terrorists’ party of choice, to accuse the party of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson of being the terrorists’ party of choice is a most serious charge ….
But it is the al-Qaeda’s party of choice. It’s Democrats and the terrorists talking about withdrawal, not the Republicans. As an aside, Howard, well the media really, sure as hell took Global Scaremongering off the front page with his comments.

    You might wish to check your intelligence regarding your claim that all republicans do not wish to withdraw the troops.

    You are plain wrong and I will send details shortly.

    Old shifty Howard is losing it.

    last week his hearing went and this week he shoots from the hop.

    The man of steel may have gone one election too far.

    Ones lies always catch up with you.

    I didn’t say all Republicans.  As usual you’re not reading the text and the rest of your comment is meaningless. Oh, and it’s “shoot from the hip” not “hop” and actually he didn’t do that either.

  • Old question, still relevant.

    If you were Osama Bin Laden or the head honcho of El Fatah, Hamas, PLO etc, who would you prefer to see running the USA?

    Sure as hell wouldn’t be George Bush or the Repubican Party.

    Feeling gloomy tonight, but I see the American Democrats gaining the White House in 2008, and all the effort in Iraq to date going down the tubes when they pull out all their military. Iraq will erupt in full scale civil war, ruined economy, warlord rulers, horrendous body count, and Madam President won’t give a shit. Too far away.

    I am sure that contrary what you say that the “terrorists” are very happy to have Bush in the White House.

    He has recruited nmore to their cause than any other. His invasion of iraq which any one with half a brain warned would be a disaster is just that – teeming with recruits for the resistance/insurgency and Bin ladens mob.

    He has made the world a less safe place than it was.

    The US voters finally worked out how stupid and incompetent he is last November and gave him a nicely timed touch up.

    As for Rumsfeld; this is another story.

    What about old “draft dodger” – “war hero” Cheney -. I heard that fantasist on Radio National this morning saying how wonderful things were in Iraq because a friend had driven from Baghdad to Basra the other day. Probably in an Abrams tank with all of the accoutrements.

    He has the blood of over 3,000.00 GI’s on his hands.
