Bush Now Praises Musharraf: "Hasn't Crossed The Line" And "Believes In Democracy"

President Bush yesterday offered his strongest support of embattled Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, saying the general "hasn't crossed the line" and "truly is somebody who believes in democracy."

Bush spoke nearly three weeks after Musharraf declared emergency rule, sacked members of the Supreme Court and began a roundup of journalists, lawyers and human rights activists. Musharraf's government yesterday released about 3,000 political prisoners, although 2,000 remain in custody, according to the Interior Ministry.

The comments, delivered in an interview with ABC News anchor Charles Gibson, contrasted with previous administration statements -- including by Bush himself -- expressing grave concern over Musharraf's actions. In his first public comments on the crisis two weeks ago, Bush said his aides bluntly warned Musharraf that his emergency measures "would undermine democracy."

Tomorrow's Headline: "Bush Administration Redefines 'Democracy'"

[Incredulous]

LMFAO Yes Georgie, he believes in democracy like the Saudi Royal family does. And the Easter Bunny exists.

Look.

All these words have been coopted and remarketed by Bushco.

Freedom = "Not for you, for corporate entities."
Democracy = "Not for you, for corporate entities."
Liberty = "Personal responsibility, sharing nothing, taking what you want when you want it."
Equality = "Some people are more equal than others."
"Brotherhood = "Among the 1% elite, until, of course, someone makes a mistake. Then he is eliminated."

See?

Ugh.

If anyone believes anything this madman says, they should go visit their local mental health center. Also, the "R's" who continue to support and vote with Bush, can visit him in jail following the forthcoming investigations.

Hey, who is stopping the Impeachment of these slugs?

Mr. Bush, President Robert Mugabe says bring it on he also says Saddam was kid's play compared to him and adds that Democracy is for losers.

[frappe]

Yeah, that's right, Bush -- Musharraf truly understands democracy. Only it's apparently the type and style of democracy as practiced by you -- consolidate all power in the executive and do not honor any of the laws that you don't agree with, nor respect the Constitution to which you took an oath to preserve, protect and defend.

[DELICIOUS]
