Bush "Stages" a Teleconference with soldiers.
 
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051013/...h/bush_iraq_10

Quote:

Lombardo told the president that she was in New York City on Nov. 11, 2001, when Bush attended an event recognizing soldiers for their recovery and rescue efforts at Ground Zero. She said the troops began the fight against terrorism in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and were proud to continue it in Iraq.

"I thought you looked familiar," Bush said, and then joked: "I probably look familiar to you, too."

"If he wants the real opinions of the troops, he can't do it in a nationally televised teleconference," Rieckhoff said. "He needs to be talking to the boots on the ground and that's not a bunch of captains."


9/11....blah blah blah....9/11....9/11...blah blah...

So do you have any comments to add to it, or just figure that this will create some kind of great discord amongst us all that this type of thing would happen???

Cause it happens all the time, just watch the "that 70's show" were Ford came into town and Red was chosen to ask him a question(chosen by the local committee).

No big surprise, and hardly breaking news,

No other president would ever stoop to such things.....

and Ashley Simpson actually sings live during every show.......

I realize that I am NOT the political maven of these boards, but this stuff is starting to BORE ME. Isn't there someone or something more interesting to talk about?

NPR played the audio from 30 minutes before the actual teleconference where they were prepping exactly who would comment and who would respond to his questions.

Yes there is. What was the finest example of a triple allegory in Cinematic History?

I was thinking something along the lines of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Clearly this tale is not forcasting the future but is telling the story of
1)Zarathustra; 2)Arthur C Clarks tale of Men melding with machine; and finally 3)Homers Odyssey itself.

wendybeth 10-13-2005 10:00 PM

Well, the Grail was about man's eternal quest for glory, peril and nice shrubbery.

I think we both know the clear winner here.

Then there is Brian..... "How shall we **** off, oh lord?" That one is just chock full of allegory! Well, really funny lines, anyway.

I thought that the death comes to dinner "skit" was great too....

Then my favorite(when I was a kid and saw it for the first time) the execution by being chased by a hundred naked women..... ahhhh, what a way to go....

So, we now know how to get NA talking politics....bring up Monty Python.:D

Ironically enough, the rest of us start out talking politics, and pretty soon we deteriorate to either penis jokes or the Spanish Inquisition.

Ximinez [with a cruel leer]: Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven. [aside, to Biggles] Is that really all it is?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez: I see. I suppose we make it worse by shouting a lot, do we? Confess, woman. Confess! Confess! Confess! Confess
Biggles: I confess!
Ximinez: Not you!

"This is Mr. E.R. Bradshaw of Napier Court, Black Lion Road London SE5. He can not be seen. Now I am going to ask him to stand up. Mr. Bradshaw will you stand up please?"

Mr Bradshaw stands up. There is a loud gunshot as Mr Bradshaw is shot in the stomach, and crumples to the ground

"This demonstrates the value of not being seen."
