I would LOVE to hear the "bring'em on" from Bush, when he stands in front of International War Crimes Tribunal. For that I am willing to pay premium price.

I'm also looking forward to the trials of the accessories to this administration's crimes. Rush Limbaugh and all the other radio Nazis, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Bill O'reilly, CIA, NSA. Also, I'd open a cold case on the remaining mass murderers responsible for the Vietnam War. www.seeloosechange.com

How about Tony Snow's quote that American troops killed in combat "are just numbers?" That's the worst of all.

Already the "Nazi" propagandists and ass-kissers of this administration are at work condemning (wrongly) Senator Kerry...I agree with Kerry...Bush should apologize to the troops and their families for getting into this war...recall WMD (none found); tie between Sadam and Al-Queda (wrong again) and other lies and misrepresentations ... Kerry does not need to apologize...it was a joke on Bush going south...Bush needs to apologize for all his misdeeds and mispeaks...How dare Bush DEMAND that Kerry apologize...Bush and his gang needs to apologize the American people and those US Troops in Iraq (over 2,800 have died for a lie!!)

>>combat "are just numbers?" That's the worst of all.
That one certainly tops the current mal-administrator's "just a comma" remark.
Yes, in the great scheme of things, IRAQ and all the american and IRAQI dead will look like a pile of numbers and commas.
Thanks to the mal-admistration for putting these things into proper perspective.

"After you get to Baghdad the war will be over and you troops can go home." That's what they told the invading Army.

This is another example of the differences between the liberal right (BuzzFlash) and the real left. Liberals are demanding an apology from Bush? Oooooooooo!!!!! Maybe you can get him to say a prayer for the soldiers too? That ought to show 'em how tough the liberals can be! Maybe the liberals should organize a one day boycot of Starbucks if Bush doesn't apologize by 2015.

Kerry should have said Bush lied us into this quagmire, while on that radio show with the fake cowboy impersonater, ah the Imus guy that has himself made more gaffs as did Bush. Kerry should have said I never asked what Bush had attached to his back when we were debating, or how many times he used drugs and alcohol before he saw a vision somewhere in New Orleans. Kerry should have said I gave Bush the election and he wants me to apoligize.

The "QUOTES" are great and show the idiotic BUSHIT that continues to be the sum and substance of MSM press, TV, and radio talk shows: all too very true!
The fact remains that ALL OF THE BUSHIT CONTAINED in these "QUOTES" can never change the HISTORICAL FACT of the crass abuses of power that led this nation into AN ILLEGAL, IMMORAL, UNJUST WAR, not only against the Nations within Iraq, but against HUMANITY AS A WHOLE, complete with unconscionable miss treatment and TORTURE OF UNKNOWN NUMBERS OF INNOCENT NON-COMBATANTS, but in the use of illegal and inhumane WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION BY THE US ARMED SERVICES AND THEIR COALLITION PARTNERS!
How dares GEORGE W. BUSH or any member of HIS administration quibble over the "moralities" of verbal insults and/or the supposedly "requisite" apologies thereto? Fie Upon them! It is time to drive them from power by voting to replace every possible REPUBLICAN IN CONGRES AND THE SENATE INCLUDING "KISSIN' Joe" LIEBERMAN!

Could you add the specific dates when each of the quote was uttered? And order them in a chronological way? And add a translation for each date into a "xyz days before the invasion of Iraq started" / "YYZ days after the invasion of Iraq started" ??

And alphabetize them. We need alphabetical order. And animated GIFs. I like those.

Kerry ab-libs part of his speech and flubs it up. I looked at the transcript of his speech at the Boston Globe newspaper. Copies were handed out to journalists. When I read the speech, I could see that Kerry was making a fool of Bush, but wait...
Even without the original intent in Kerry's written speech, what he actually said was true. How many National Guardsmen made similar claims... things like... I joined the Natl' Guard to get an education and here I am in Iraq anyway. How many times did we hear comments from GI's in Iraq and their families like... well, I couldn't afford college, so I joined the service. I've heard distraught parents who lost a son or daughter in Iraq say... He/she couldn't afford college and couldn't find a job so he signed up and now he/she is dead.
Yes, it is a fact that there are many military who signed up out of patriotism after 9/11 and bless them all, even great numbers who signed up out of desperation for a job or promised education.
Even though Kerry's slam against Bush was bungled, what he actually said was true in my mind after listening to interviews with troops and their families for 3 years.
