When Bush says "Islamic fascists" WHO is he trying to pick on?

    Iran? Hezbollah? (or Hizbollah, hell, you know what I mean).

    God forbid we just call these pricks "terrorists" or "murderers" with no need for mention of a religious affiliation.

    Re: When Bush says "Islamic fascists" WHO is he trying to start a fight with?

    Yes, because we all know of the massive terror plans hatched by the Hindu terrorists.

    Why do you hate America?
     
  4. He's talking about all terrorists period.  He's been using that term ever since shorty after 9/11.

    There are terrorists in Spain, in England, in Colombia, in other parts of South America, in parts of Africa, in parts of Asia near the Indian Ocean. Yet we focus our attention on two nations in particular.
     
  6. We invaded Iraq for questionable reasons. We invaded Afghanistan for good reasons. With two wars brewing, you can't really invade Iran and North Korea at the same time, but it's not like we're only focusing on those two countries. We have also arrested terrorists here at home and contributed intelligence to arrests elsewhere like in the UK. Besides, the Middle East has more terror roots than the rest of the world, so that is where we should focus.

    He's not really picking on anyone. It's just that that's the way the terrorists were described in the original speech someone wrote for him and he's not about to go changing things up for the sake of accuracy.

    And lots not forget the scary White supremicist terrorists here in the states. They do still exist, despite Tim McVeigh's execution.

    Absolutely. I'm surrounded by lunatics here in my own town. They're called Republicans and they control county politics. :D

    You're right..they are scary. As McVeigh proved, they're murderous. But has there been any criminal mischief on their part since Eric Roberts (the Atlanta Olympic bomber, in case I got the name wrong)?

    It ain't Methodists causing the problems in the world today.

    Project 7, dumbass.

    And I didn't say the crazy Christians, of which there are some still operating, I said white supremacists. There's a difference.
