View Full Version : Bush about Manu

In a press conference today after a meeting with Argentinian President Nestor Kirchner in Mar del Plata, George W. Bush congratulated Argentina for Manu Ginobili and he said he was proud of having him in his state's basketball team.



"He's made a vital contribution to a basketball team from the state in which I live," Bush said. "But he's also a good ambassador for your country."

He is a great ambassador.

Honestly, dont take this the wrong way, how many people honestly heard of the country of Argentina before Manu?

Chill out and think about it before saying anything.

Argentina Im sure has gotten a small raise in tourism dollars since Manu's emergence, just from how many times they have shown Argentina on TV.

The Grateful Dead's lead singer has been dead for six years, but sales of neckties and other collectibles "Keep on Truckin." The Grateful Dead Enterprises line of merchandise--which hawks everything from T-shirts and dog bowls to sports bras--brings in some $30 million a year, which Jerry Garcia's estate shares with his former bandmates. Thanks to the Dead's extensive live-recording collection, the band continues to release new albums that still get scooped up by their fanatical followers, leaving the lead singer's survivors richer than a scoop of Cherry Garcia ice cream.

"Does Argentina have a particular grievance with Bush"

The Repubs ignore and disrespect other countries and international orgs. Disrepect causes a lot of deep, negative emotions, at the country level, or personal level. Disagree is ok, but within a framework of respect and civility. "The Ugly American" is a VERY OLD story.

Even most Americans think the Repub Iraq war is bullshit, and that the Repubs lied about the reasons for it, so how do you think the rest of the world feels about the Repub Iraq invasions, war, occupation? It was the same world-wide with the VN war.

Each leader referred repeatedly to how "candid" their discussions were, and the pair took no questions from reporters.

"I'm leaving this meeting feeling very satisfied because it wasn't a meeting looking for nice words but to speak the truth," Kirchner said. "Each us did just that."

But Bush clearly sought to stress common ground. He mentioned Manu Ginobili of Bahia Blanca, Argentina, a star guard who has helped the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association win two titles in the past three years.

It’s not my country I’m ashamed of (whatever that abstract concept of “my country” is). I feel ashamed that people protest a democratically elected president while a communist dictator is cheered publicly and every corrupt politician races to take a picture with the bearded one.

And I understand the US is disliked over the world, I even started a thread in the Political Forum some time ago asking what I thought was an honest questioned but I got chewed up by whottt and others. But I could give a shit what other countries do. I don’t like learning about these protests in Argentina.

Even most Americans think the Repub Iraq war is bullshit, and that the Repubs lied about the reasons for it, so how do you think the rest of the world feels about the Repub Iraq invasions, war, occupation? It was the same world-wide with the VN war.

You are aware that the dems said the same thing as the reps about Iraq and wmd, right? So, unless you are into conspiracy theories, then you can't start this garbage up all over again.

You have seen pictures of the Kurds, right? You know the 5000 Kurds who were gassed? Or are the Kurds lying too, along with the entire world (except you of course)?

Saddam used the wmd on more than a dozen documented occasions. There was no doubt that he had them before. Again, check with the Kurds on this, or Iran or any of the other victims. Where did they go, I don't know. It's a big planet, hoss and he could have shipped them off to Syria or somewhere else. But the important fact is that there is zero doubt that Saddam did have them in the relatively recent past. Besides if a farmer has a bunch of cows, does it matter if he spills the milk? No, because there's plenty more where that came from, just make some more hoss. His scientists have the know how.

Such a shame that we liberated Western Europe, Eastern Europe, were responsible for the freedom experienced by people in the former Soviet Union, liberated fifty million people in Afghanistan and Iraq. Speaking of the latter, you are aware that more than 8 million voters approved the new democratic constitution for Iraq, right?

Vietnam and Iraq- Hm, a couple of important differences, (1) The military is now a volunteer force. Then, it was conscription (2) Vietnam war- 50,000 soldiers died, Iraq 2000 died. You want to compare the two, form a fraction with Iraq as the numerator, Viet Nam as the denominator. Can you do the math, that's about 4 %. Viet Nam- a relatively unimportant jungle off in Asia.
Iraq- right smack dab in the middle of the Middle East. VietNam never invaded anybody that I know of. Iraq- invaded Iran (8 year bloody battle killing oh about 1 million Muslims- in which Saddam used his wmd), and Kuwait. His next target was Saudia Arabia.

While it's good rhetoric to say, oil, smoil who cares. Unless you want a 50 % unemployment rate, its ignorant. The fact is that our economy comes to a complete and utter stop, we all are jobless, homeless and starve to death unless the supply of oil is uninterrupted. Hopefully, soon, we'll have the technology and know how to be able to make a wholesale replacement of oil. For right now, we can't efficiently make a wholesale replacement,.
In my graduate classes in math, some of my professors have described some of the problems we have at this point. Me. I'm real practical. I like to eat.
I think it is good when there is not a 50 % unemployment rate which may make me one of the 60 million people who voted for President Bush.


I thought this discussion was for Spurs basketball and instead it had to be turned into democratic talking points. If you hate the President and the country, move or win an election (and you didn't win either of the last two- you see the winner occupies the White House).

Did your mom drop you on your head?

Make up your mind, do you want us to liberate people or not? Inconsistent! Should we liberate the Saudis? Is that your position? So, liberating Afghanistan and Iraq was wrong, but invading Saudi Arabia would be a good idea? Pass the pipe buddy.

You lost the election, buddy. Get over it.

As I said earlier, move if you hate this country and the President so much.

Move where they have double digit unemployment, like in Europe.

You may be a socialist and a pacifist, but about 60 million Americans aren't.

You want to join Michael Moron, do it. But don't waste our time here.

You sound really clever to say remove Saddam, but then don't help build a democracy. He did have two sons who weren't a member of the good guys.
If we had killed Saddam and that was it, guess who is now in power.

Except for you, most terrorists groups are not based in democracies. Or hadn't you figured that one out yet? Islamic Jihad, PLO, Al Qaeda...

Over the long term, when you establish democracies in the Middle East, you will produce an environment that is less fertile soil for terrorism.

You didn't describe the President, you described yourself.

How many indictments are there against Bush or Cheney or Rove? Answer precisely zero. They were not and will not be indicted. That's because they didn't break the law and you only indict people if you want to charge them with a crime (and an indictment is not equivalent to a conviction).
Of course, if I were a liberal, like you, I don't know that I would be going there. Or do you not remember Monica? That was the President himself, not an aide. He was impeached.

Scowcraft is a pre 9-11 person who can't change his paradigm. 911 made it clear that you can't wait until the threat is fully materialized and are about to be attacked, before you respond to it. Problem with waiting for a smoking gun is that the gun only smokes after it has been fired, which generally means someone was shot and probalby killed. Chem and Bio weapons and nuclear weapons can kill hundreds of thousands of people or more at a time.

Do you really think that in a post 911 world, we should allow rogue states who had used wmd in the past to continue to in their status quo?

Were you opposed to the invasion in Afghanistan also? If yes, you are a major pacifist, hopeless and are not representative of the US population.
If not, then you are inconsistent.

How many senators want to make a complete and total withdrawal of our troops now? Probably zero, no more than a handfull out of 100. There's a reason for that. Dems know that the 2006 and 2008 elections are coming up and they will be seens as promoting a pacifist, weak national defense by most Americans if they call for a complete and total withdrawal right now.

Plame- Clinton himself was impeached. Bush has not been impeached. Libby is only an aide. Libby has not been found guilty. The jury only hears the prosecutor when they are deciding whether or not there is a sufficient basis for an indictment (which is essentially whether or not someone should be charged). The grand jury did not hear anything from Libby's defense attorney. In fact, Libby would never have been charged with anything at all, had he been allowed to invoke fifth amendment rights. He could not because he served in the government. There was no indictment with the charge being outing a covert agent. The reason is very simple. There was not enough evidence to support such a charge. You are barking at the moon.

Bipartisan committees have already concluded that the administration played no role in coercing or manipulating intelligence. Joe Wilson is the most discredit person in America (other than Bill Clinton). As I said, Bush has not and will not even be charged with anythin. A Bipartisan group concluded that he was lying about virtually his entire testimony: A sample: His wife did play a major role in his "investigation" at Niger. Cheney's office did not send him. He did not actually see the documents which he claimed were fake because the documents were seen some 8 months after his trip. This is just for starters.

Fitzgerald already stated that this has nothing to do with the war, for or against. It is a narrow investigation.

Its funny that you think that free speech means that only dissidents are allowed to protest, but supporters of the President are not alllowed to express their views. Free speech does not mean that if you say something stupid, I can't critique it. This is a Spurs basketball website.

I don't care if a minority of Argentinians protest. Perhaps one day that will get rid of all the corruption, open up a free market and get their economy moving so that their citizens don't have to live in terrible conditions.
I wish them the best. The protestors are probably literally members of a Socialist organization. That's not a joke. A large number of the Protestors in Europe are members of ANSWR or some such group which is literally a Socialist group. Probably this occurs in South America as well. Too bad.

I'm not a big contributor but sorry it's too tempting to answer on some comments...
First "themanurules", please stop being loged on the republican newsletter... Indeed, your comments are closed to even been stupid. First, speaking about gas, it has been used after the bush father decided to leave Irak without finishing his job (you forget maybe?!) Secondly, Irak - Iran war has been highly due to Western Countries, part of those the USA, France & all big weapons vendors (don't worry I'm ashame as a french).

We can go further, your vietnam comparison is even worse. You should take another ratio: number of civilians killed in Irak compare to the number of civilians killed in Vietnam, it's even better if you consider all the killed people due to that formidable program: oil for war!! (still don't worry, France is involved as well in some scandals linked to that fucking idea). We can keep on by speaking about Saudi Arabia, they shouldn't be worried about being invaded by Irak, indeed it was just some manipulation from the US with fake pictures (no force on the boundaries) and you forget that to invad Saudi Arabia, you have to invade the corner stone of muslim religion, which is not the right thing to do for Saddam, and he knew it. Furthermore, do you know that saudi arabia is a dictatur? With a lot of civilians killed? What is your criteria to decide whether this country should be invaded and not another one?

To understand some hate about the US you should consider their willing to destroy the united nations, to control the world through the trade organization (sorry forget the translation of "OMC" (in french here)) which create a lot of poor regions trhough the wolrd (don't worry, all rich country are part of this blind game, not only the US)...

I could keep on a long time... but I don't think the US are only that, by far, but your ambassador is highly critized because he is the symbol of such thing. He represents the oil lobby (hard for ecologist), weapon lobby (a good war is always welcome) and a lot of private interest...

If you want to speak about terrorism, it's really a sensitiv topic. Indeed, you should keep in mind that it's a lot of time used as the unique way to fight against dictator...

Last points, don't forget that if you didn't free the western Europe, you would not have been so rich, yes we've been your first market... and you had a lot of interest to do so, especially to fight against the former USSR... and don't forget that France was your ally when you fight against england for your freedom (OK we hated english on that time, but still we helped you...)

Concerning the elections, I don't care till it's internal, the problem is that we pay the price (mean the world) since that elections... (war, pollution, ...)

I say one really good point: I agree that the US were totally right to do what Europe was afraid to do in Yugoslavia, and even in Afghanistan. But don't forget, that you did that after facing terrorism, not to help those people (if it was the case, you would have interfere a lot of years before!)

I'm sorry, I will have no access to this forum till monday, so you can answer but I will not answer immediatly after.

Go Spurs!!

Chill out and think about it before saying anything.

Argentina Im sure has gotten a small raise in tourism dollars since Manu's emergence, just from how many times they have shown Argentina on TV.

Read the polls "themanurules" you should move. almost 50% of people strongly disapprove of Bush. 10 more percent just disapprove. And the reason you see no indictments is because the Republicans control the houses and the senate (not to mention trying to politicize the court system) and refuse to investigate anything. Plus you have a duo in the whitehouse that is shameless enough to use 911 for political game and to squelch dissent.

We just learned the lesson of why you don't 'nation build' again. because you get a mess like Iraq. So your flag waving impose 'democracy' idea is flat out stupid.

FYI once secular Iraq is now a haven for terrorist. UN put out a report that said we are now MORE unsafe than we were and deaths from terrorism internationally have risen. So save the 'smoke them out of the holes' and 'mission accomplished speeches. Iran is where the terrorist are and we can't do a thing because we've got our hands tied in Iraq.



Bipartisan committees have already concluded that the administration played no role in coercing or manipulating intelligence.

this is horseshit. the bipartisan committee agreed that their was and they should investigate. The democrats shut down the senate because the Republicans were stonewalling and doing nothing.

Bush is an implanted Texan,anyway.He claims to be Texan but he's actually from the New England area.The Bushes did all this by design.Im pretty sure there's a Bush as we speak that lives in California that will run for Governor.

Bush Sr. is from the N.E. - GW grew up in Texas (and D.C. 'cause that is where the old man worked - though he represented Texas). He met his wife in West Texas. Listen to his accent for Christ's sake. (Compare it Kennedy's for a reference). Oh, and get a clue.

did you see the term, TERRORISTS!!

Terrorists do not deserve Human rights. By all accounts, Terrorists are scum, not human.

End of political discussion.

Replace the word terrorist with jew and you can see why the Hitler comparisons come from. You would do Goebbels proud.

Really what is sad is this shows a very limited ability towards independent thought. I really recommend people read some John Locke particularly Social Contract, Two Tretise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration and get a real idea of what the framework of our government is all about.

Its truly sad to see this country affirm the bill of rights proposed by the UN only to use the above as an excuse to remove certain human rights such as habeas corpus.

Reminds me of people quoting Romans to throw out the ten commandments.

Bottomline is that there are certain inalieable rights that every human being should be entitled to. Its our past defenses of this principle that makes this country great and its sad to see our foreign policy once again make a mockery of that.

Every country is entitled to elect a moron as president. The thing is that in a country like Argentina the president only gets to fuck his own country; when you are the most powerful nation on the planet, your president gets to fuck the entire world. That's why people outside the US dislike American presidents in general. And then there are the more "personal" reasons each country may have (In Argentina's case, among other things, the US goverment sponsored a military coup in the 70's that kidnapped and killed 30.000 people).

Obviously, having someone like Bush doesn't help either.

This sentiment is not against everything and everybody in the US. But he's the president, it can't get more symbolic than that.

Sometimes I feel that the ignorance about the (real) world that is often associated with Americans carries a great deal of innocence, like they don't know the effects their country/goverment have on other countrys. The other day I was talking with this exchange student from New York (law school) and she told me that she was surprised of how present the US is on our everyday lives. It's not like we can forget about it.

Both them had a mother and father, have the same number of chromosomes as you and I, synthesize ATP for cellular respiration, opposable thumbs the whole deal. Maybe youre willing to draw the line as to what humans are entitled to rights and which are not.

Here's an idea for you. The Germans certainly didnt see the jews that were being rounded up and killed as the innocent shopkeepers that you prtray them as just as the portrayal of the people in custody.

Do you have any information as the who the people being held in Guantanamo are and the reasons for them being held? Im talking about specifics not the soundbites that your being fed. Im talking about specific situational, testimonial, forensic, any type of evidence that warrants the removal of their rights?

Now granted in terms of degree,what Hitler did was much much worse, but if you cannot see the parallel between the two situations you are just sticking your head in the sand.

Bottomline: every human being on this globe is entitled to certain rghts. Whats the harm in habeas corpus? If they truly are terrorists then it would hold up in a court of law and at that point it is reasonable to curtail their rights.

Every human on this planet deserves the right to defend themselves in a public forum. When a government starts taking that away it should raise flags in every red blooded americans mind.

If detainees do not have habeas corpus, they become simply captives of war on terrorism, which is a makeup war, like war on drugs.
Captives of a makeup war, without habeas corpus, are exactly like Jews.

Now something about Hitler that your ignorance does not recognize:
Hitler did was under the rule of law all the way. So a guy who shouts louder is more evil? If your Supreme Court claimed administration was legit, Bush could become Hitler.

If America was like what? Full of vigilants "aka minute-men"? Full of ignorant people and epical all-American praise subculture? If you had a fanatical leader? Weak opposition? Politicaly abused courts like in recent elections? You were a Supreme Court decision away from being an example of historic death of the oldest Constitution.

Do not call me stupid. Hitler was stupid, he could have it all. Bush was stupid, he could have it all. Let me just say this. If a baby shits on the floor, I do not root for him the same day at potty training. I want him to hold it up. Bush messed it up, just like Hitler did, and they were both legal to do so.

Even on this thread, where I have basically agreed with you that the anti-Bush demonstrations are stupid (and I’m willing to debate this point with anyone), you have managed to be you usual idiotic self with a denigrating, cocky comment



Oh, by the way, shut the fuck up.
Fuck you too, asshole.

This was nothing like WWII. Sadam was a ruthless tyrant who was secular, had no ties to 911 and no WDMs. Afgahnastan is a total differnet issue, this was the right thing to do but unfortunately we couldn't see it through and catch bin Laden because our dipshyt president wanted to avenge his daddy and all the money and resources got sucked to Iraq. These jokers thought the war would pay for itself, that people would throw us roses, and that it didn't require planning. These guys should be in jail not leading the country

Now we are less safe with a nice lawless terrorist training ground. With all these human rights abuses they've got all the propaganda they need.

Funny, you seem to have no problem resorting to profanity laced witless comments. You do have that trademark Argentinian arrogance though.

Nah, Hussein had been positioning himself publicly with the Islamist cause over the years leading up to the invasion. Also, regardless of whether Hussein had the WMDs, he certainly wanted them and was working the UN so he'd be free to run his weapons programs as he saw fit. There was already more than enough reason to take his ass out pre-9/11.

trademark Argentinian arrogance? Well, I suppose if you can spot a trademark Argentinian anything, you must have lived here, right? Where in Argentina have you lived MB? or are you just talking out of your ass like usual?

Perception of Americans by non-Americans is that they are arrogant. MB prooves them right.

I know Argentines are arrogant (proly the most arrogant in all LatAm). The difference is I acknowldge it. Sparky and TRO is arrogant as hell and they either don't know it or they simply don't care.

You are right. Bush will retire with style as a 2term President of USA.
Thank God for lawyers nad BAR who made that possible. And let God crush the lawyers who elected him by the Supreme Court. Talk about cynicism.
