Bush Says Sorry...

[Paul]

A pointless war in Afghanistan, followed by the invasion and capture of Iraq.  Tens of thousands of civilians and armed soldiers dying, in a supposed hunt for weapons of mass destruction (or big missiles, as the american leader is undoubtedly informed) and cheaper oil.  Then all of a sudden, photographs showing american troops abusing Iraqi's and beating the living daylights out of them.  The response from the Bush administration?  

"Sorry" :roll:

Not only is it tantamount to "whoops", but he also came up with this quote - "Photos make america look bad"

...I seem to remember the saying "The camera never lies!!"

...And then they switch to Bush's presedential campaign and loads of people cheering for him. 8O  8O  8O  

GAWD he couldn't evan get in fairly last time, the mans a cheat (amongst other things :evil: ).

Surely America can see how unpopular it is becoming thanks to Burning Bush and Co. :evil:

It's shite but not surprising I'm afraid, there's plenty of evidence of U.S. atrocities in occupied countries (and not forgetting the good old UK soldiers as well)

Main problem is Bush thinks he has God on his side in everything he does but when it comes down to it he's morally and ethically bankrupt. This is the man who when Governor used to laugh at those on Death Row.........

Now come on, be fair, he did say sorry, and obviously really meant it. That makes everything OOOOOOOOOO-K

 :roll:

Like he said sorry for being a cocaine addict, he then passed a law in Texas making it a life imprisonment crime for possession of the drug.

Under his Governorship, Texas killed more death rowers than all the other States combined.

The man is an ego crazed lunatic, and has led his country into a no win war in which hundreds of people on both sides have been killed for nothing more than cheap oil, and the way things are going we are going to be paying even more when we fill up. Thanks, Bush and Blair.

Sounds like Iraq could end up worse without Saddam..........

“If you say to a man he cannot use force against a woman, you are asking the impossible,” she explains. “So we say a husband can beat his wife, but he cannot leave a mark. If he does that, he will be punished.”
 
On the subject of polygamy, the former paediatrician turned politician says: “If you don’t allow your husband to take another wife, he’d have an affair anyway . . . I’d rather know my husband has another wife that I know about.”

In fact, Dr Ubaedey’s husband is back home in the Shia holy city of Najaf, looking after the couple’s four children while she stays in Baghdad to take up her duties as one of Iraq’s new parliamentarians.

As a devout Shia Muslim and one of eighty-nine women sitting in the new parliament, she knows what her first priority there is: to implement Islamic law. When Dr Ubaedey took her seat at last week’s assembly opening, she found herself among an increasingly powerful group of religious women politicians who are seeking to repeal old laws giving women some of the same rights as men and replace them with Sharia, Islam’s divine law.

Among the new laws that they are pushing for is one allowing men to marry up to four wives, one awarding women half the inheritance given to men and another denying women custody of children over the age of 2 in the event of divorce.

This is not what the American administrators imagined when they pushed for a quota of nearly one third of women in parliament in the hope of protecting their rights.

More than 50 per cent of female parliamentarians belong to the cleric-backed United Iraqi Alliance, which won the election in a landslide with just over half the seats. It has called the implementation of Sharia “non-negotiable”.
