Are You Upset About Recent UN Speeches?

Not that I agree with what they said... are you bothered by the president's description of Iran as part of an 'axis of evil'? Or is this a double standard?

 

I might be annoyed by the president of Venezuela's characterization of Bush if it weren't true. I don't like liars.

 

Why should I be bothered about the ravings of a couple of lunatics? It's common knowledge they don't like Bush or the administration. They've both made anti-US comments before and will again. They're a couple of idiots who don't deserve the front page. I put as much stock in their comments about Bush as I do Michael Moore's.

And Jonnycat's question is a fair one. If you're going to get your undies in a bundle because our leader was "disrespected" by another world leader, then you should insist that our President not "disrespect" other world leaders.

 

Actually, I am rather happy with their speeches. :lol:

After Chavez's, “the devil was here yesterday,†speech, I can't imagine Venezuela receiving the upcoming open seat on the UN Security Counsel.

What a boob! I think he shot himself in the foot.

If Venezuela does receive the seat, the USA should consider withholding much of its $5,000,000 PER DAY (1.8+ billion per year!) payments to the UN.

Let Venezuela and Iran make up the difference with their oil money they so freely spread around the world.

Go back & re-read my post. I never said he did. I just said Johnnycat's question was a valid one.

Our politicians are too well-schooled to stand in behind a podium and call another leader "satan".

Not exactly "satan," but...

Sure. George Bush is an idiot. It would have been more appropriate that they had called him an idiot. What was it that they called him anyways?

Considering the White House said Chavez's speech wasn't worthy of response, then why should they. But they have. Nancy Pelosi, the Senator frequently vilified by neo-cons, responded by calling Chavez a thug.

Please explain to me how Iran's president "verbally abused and disrespected" Mr. Bush?

I read the speech. You're the one who claimed they both "verbally abused and disrespected" President Bush. I'm asking why you feel Ahmadinejad's speech fits into that category. Especially since he never actually mentioned President Bush in the speech.

How did you become a Doctor, anyway? You consistently make claims and then ask others to do your research. If you have enough time on your hands to reply to posts, you have enough time to clarify your position.

Show me ONE place where a member of the Democratic party has called President Bush "the devil". I'm pretty sure none of them have ever called the United States "the gravest threat looking over our planet, placing at risk the very survival of the human species" either.

 

"You don't come into my country; you don't come into my congressional district and you don't condemn my president," Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, scolded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Was it really the US and his congressional district, if a person is at the U.N.? Is the U.N. international soil, or still belongs to the U.S.?
