Still a mess but I thought old 'W' did all right last night on this...

Link (http://www.cnn.com/)

Any thoughts...?

well, he's shown he's still in the pocket of big industries by not mentioning a cut in greenhouse gas emissions

he wants to double the size of the USA's stock of oil (currently 727 million barrels) - that shows he's acting like a kid who buys all the sweets so no-one else can have them, then when it runs out, the good ol' USA will be sitting pretty, so sod the rest of the world.

he wants to increase the army by 92,000. Almost confirming the USA's lust for blood, war, death and arrogance.

reduce petrol consumption by 20%? - no way, the USA loves the car too much, thats like saying (to an American) don't go to church.

47 million Americans have difficulty getting health care. He offers a tax break? then spends billions on a war? 47 million Americans have been thrown crumbs to shut them up - no change there then - he obviously cares less for the homeland than he ever did.

"Our country is pursuing a new strategy in Iraq, and I ask you to give it a chance to work,"
sending another 20,000 troops is the answer? I wish I had shares in body bag makers.

That speech shows he is totally out of touch, he's an arrogant idealistic tit who is making millions from backhanders. He's the least popular Prez in the last 50 years (except Nixon) yet he still thinks he can ride roughshot over the world

Those are some interesting observations Col, thanks for your 2 cents. :)

Yo Col!
Don't hold back, say what you really think.:D :D

He's the flagship for what is hated about the USA - moneygrabbing, hypocritical, faked religion, arrogant, no conscience, warmongering, and like most Americans - loves to kill or send people to death.

That speech did nothing for the USA on the world stage other than to confirm how self centred the USA is

Slightly off-topic, sorry Ken. Given that most of us would probably accept that the American body politic, especially the Presidency, is in a bit of a sorry state it's a great comfort over this side of the pond to know that we're soon to lose Mr Bliar in favour of that paragon of virtue Mr Hoots Mon Broon.

Inflation on the up, pensions robbed and the tax burden increased exponentially under his stirling stewardship.

Is there a country I can emigrate to that isn't ruled by liars, cheats, buffoons, lawyers, Scots and corporate muggers?

Disclaimer

Let me just add that I have nothing against Scots per se, they are an admirable race, what would Captain Kirk have done without his very own? I just wish they wouldn't export their bloody politicians.

I'm with you on the changing of the guard. But we'll have to wait 'till 08 :rolleyes: and then we'll need to be a bit more careful who we elect to send to the Whitehouse. :o I'm anxious to hear Obama speak; I've been told he seems to be a good guy...

Col is on a roll this morning :p :p

He's that black geezer isn't he? I reckon he's got more chance of flying to the moon than being a black president. Middle class America would never vote in a coloured geezer as president - they still can't admit blacks are equal to them.

Col

Yo Col!
Don't hold back, say what you really think.:D :D
I wouldn't want to upset the Yanks - so I keep it toned down for them.

If the Yanks have to force The Stones change the lyrics for their sensitive ears then I'd best not say what I really think.:rolleyes:

What kind of derogatory name would you have for him if he was?

I wish to God Georgey would stop using the 'fear-factor' to retain any credibility he may still have. Terrorism has existed globally long before we got hit by it. We only got hit so bad because we were completely ignorant to the threat.

The fact is, that our "freedom" is not under threat. We don't have a huge Japanese naval fleet wiping out command posts nor do we have the equivalent of a Luftwaffe performing nightly bomb runs. There were no WMD's.

As long as everyone keeps believing this fictitious world war that Georgey seems to think is happening then people won't see the fact that it was HE who de-stabilised Iraq in the first place. :rolleyes:

What kind of derogatory name would you have for him if he was?
if he's from Georgia, he could be a moderator:rolleyes:

anyway, that wasn't an answer to my question, or are you opting for the usual US cop out by not answering it

And if he's a horses ass he could be from essex :p

If I had to guess, I'd say he may be a black gentleman. Although I think his mother and/or father may be from central America ? Now that you have my long awaited answer, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what your next smart ass remark will be...:rolleyes:

If I remember right, cant remember where I read it, maybe a forum on the scotsman sounds about right. but one of his parents or grandparents is/was muslim.

I missed it due to my lack of having cable. I will prob watch the videos when I get home...

So far from what I have heard it did a positive impression.

I'm no Bush fan, but wouldn't reducing gas consumption by 20% cut greenhouse gas emissions?

I find the whole "State Of The Union" ritual a sort of weird self-congratulatory, maybe even masturbatory, hollywood award ceremony meets worship service. Look at us looking at us: clap, clap, clap. Now look at me: clap, clap, clap. Oh, look at you: clap, clap, clap. Like some other religious rituals I've observed it seems phoney.

Maybe it's like manna if you're a member of the cult.

Agreed. I think it's another one of those wierd things we picked up from the UK...:p

OK, other than these always seem to be the same old stuff.
What I got was the public needs to cut gas consumption by 20% Nice, what about business? Why nothing on say nuclear plants to get away from burning coal to generate electricity? Why is it always the PUBLIC?
HealthCare, tax cuts are nice, but I didn't really hear any answers, of course I have never heard any real answers from either party.
Iraq, on one hand there is a "Let me think about that" truth to his, secure Baghdad so the government can get on with business theory, but then on the other hand is listening to politicians and the Military. I am not sure either has good ideas in the current Iraq situation. Seems like about the only thing that happened is the power shift from Sunnis to Shites.
Pretty much everything seemed like fluff, he just is not as good at it as Clinton was.

Yeah - He didn't fumble through it as bad as I expect he'll do when ever he speaks. :rolleyes: And he does lack the charisma of Clinton. And as a commentator pointed out, I think his best effort at an apology for the war issue was when he said something like it wasn't the war we picked but it is the fight we're now in'... Not much but I guess we'll have to take it...:rolleyes:

FoFa I'm trying to guess whether you mistyped shiites deliberately.:D

Ken your getting to be like Rich but from the other side of the pond. :(

Brian

but I didn't really hear any answers, of course I have never heard any real answers from either party.

True, but the State of the Union address isn't really the time for answers, it's the time for saying "Hey, this is what I've done and this is what I still want to do, but we'll figure out how later." :rolleyes:

Well Ken you learn something new everyday, perhaps I should be apologising for jumping to conclusions, mind you I don't think the present Queens Speech is anything like the State of the Union Address.

Brian

Edit Started this post about 30 mins ago but got interrupted by a phone call, hadn't seen Rich's posts.

Thanks ok - I did make some snips about the tent thing in London and the gold buggy thing in some other threads that may have been out of line...:o

Hanging out around here with Rich and Cols comments dotting the landscape will teach a fella how to be tollerant of others short comings. :) :)

fyi - never seen the queens address -
Q. Why would an atheist do the 'God bless her' thing?

I can only assume that it is some sort of joke between Col and Rich or maybe as well as anti God they are also anti Monarch and therefore it is a form of sarcasm, but they need to explain it.

Out of character for someone that is usually quite obstreperous :p

And as a commentator pointed out, I think his best effort at an apology for the war issue was when he said something like it wasn't the war we picked but it is the fight we're now in'.
How is this apology? This only dodges responsibility. He picked this war with the overwhelming support of the American people. The people now sidestep their responsibility by blaming the idiot they chose to lead the way.
The problem seems not to be Bush, but the whole machinery that thought Bush was a good idea in the first place. What's with that?

I wouldn't go quite that far... al though it is bad. :o

Has anyone else noticed that last week, Ken was not posting on the forum (I never noticed anything). There was very little if any "USA / UK" sniping. There was sensible conversations and all seemed jolly hockey sticks.

This week, Ken (a moderator) is back, and a study of this weeks posts will show how things have deteriorated yet again into the old sniping, backbiting and non-productive comments - is there a link here?

Just an observation.

Col

Agreed. I think it's another one of those wierd things we picked up from the UK...:p

Nope I don't think you can pin that on us Ken. The nearest thing we have is the Queen's Speech on Christmas day, and everybody's too p****d (inebriated) by the time it's broadcast to listen to her droning on anyway.

PS Answered this from page 1 before reading the following posts. Comments still stand though. And you are getting a bit cranky Ken. It's very naughty of you to take a similar line to those you criticise. You must rise above the temptation and lead by a better example. I take into account your previous apology but consider yourself duly admonished.

We do have the Queens (God Bless Her) speech at the opening of parliament. In that, she outlines the parliamentary bills to be put before the House in that coming term.

Hi Ken

Maybe we could all pitch in and pay for Col a holiday trip south. (I wonder if he rides his scooter through that tunnel thing when he goes over? - That'd be really cool)

The Channel tunnel is a rail tunnel , you drive your vehicle onto it and get transported. I think he sails to Santander on Spain's Northern coast.

Brian

Talking of holidays I'll be passing your way May 2008 as we are doing a trip that spends a night in Atlanta, I think it starts in Dallas and ends in Washington. We've been trying for a couple of years but Katrina washed it out as it takes in New Orleans, they tried to switch to a couple of nights in Natchez but although that pleased us, done New Orleans before, there were not enough takers.

Cool - Do you have any idea what area of town or hotel you will be staying at? If the schedule/location is convient I could buy you lunch - :) :)

Kind offer Ken, but a quick check shows that we are going the other way ,Washington to Dallas, and we spend a day in Savannah before arriving in Atlanta in the evening, then the following day its off to Montgomery after a brief city tour.
The problem with not being able to do "fly drives" any more is that we are in other peoples hands.

Brian

And technically, I did not refer to Col as a quadruped's posterior - ;)

Indeed - technically you referred to him as a "horse's ass", I was merely substituting a euphemism for your more vulgar terminology so as not to execerbate any offence previously taken.

I can see that diplomacy may fail here. I withdraw from this peace initiative accordingly, bloody but unbowed.:)

not on that occasion.

I think he sails to Santander on Spain's Northern coast.
Correct - either that or to Bilbao on the same coast. However, in May I shall go from Plymouth to Santander, I booked it last week and the return trip will be Bilbao to Portsmouth.

if he's from Georgia, he could be a moderator Ken assumes , probably correctly that that's aimed at him so replies

Very true, odd though that its more prevailent in the Yanks than any other tourist national I've met

For example, you treat Americans like we are the lesser persons - ;)
trying to teach you about world events and the like is not treating you like a lesser person. If you didn't argue so much you may learn something. As we have said on many occasions, Rich and I are trying to help you - but its an upward struggle.

You American colleague on another thread has admitted he knew nothing of a war faught in the 1980's just off the South American coast!! he also thinks that if an island is near a bigger country then they should own it.
That logic would mean that France should own the UK.

They'd have to fight the Russians for it! I believe they already own most of the UK! They bought it while we weren't looking..:eek:

You American colleague on another thread has admitted he knew nothing of a war faught in the 1980's just off the South American coast!!

So if a single American is unaware of a single facet of British military history, that supports your theory that we're all ignorant. Like whatever! :p



he also thinks that if an island is near a bigger country then they should own it.

Perhaps he felt a war over a post-empirical piece of rock that claimed numerous lives was a tad anachronistic. :confused:

Yes Ken's American, what's confusing about that? :confused:

Well I was just looking for a reason for that fellow Higg's rudeness, especially since we've been told umpteen times that Americans are always polite :eek:

oh yes we do - your president makes bloody sure the whole world knows


Very true, odd though that its more prevailent in the Yanks than any other tourist national I've met


trying to teach you about world events and the like is not treating you like a lesser person. If you didn't argue so much you may learn something. As we have said on many occasions, Rich and I are trying to help you - but its an upward struggle.

No you'll just do the normal American thing, bugger it up and then F$£% off home again

Please link to where I actually said that. However, if thats your thought then I'll run with it if you like.

we have pointed out already that the Argies invaded British Sovereign territory. We defended it and saw off the infiltrators. What would the Yanks do if Mexico invaded Hawaii? just stand by and let them have it?

I dislike the way you voice your opinon
as I've said before, I really don't give a toss what you think.:mad:and if I can upset you, then the happier I am - as I said, when you arn't here we have very little squabbling and sniping - worked it out yet KennyBabe?

I'm anxious to hear Obama speak; I've been told he seems to be a good guy...
He'll fail on 3 counts.

1) He's black

2) His middle name is Hussein

3) His other name sounds too much like 'Osama'
