The title is obviously in irony.

I find it sickening that it has been this long since that hypocritical speech and not one person has appeared on CNN to point out that Israel has a longer and far more flagrant history of defying the UN than any other nation.

If Bush is indeed so incredibly concerned about the enforcement of UN resolutions in general (which is what he said in his speech for those that didn't hear it) he should be demanding regime change in Israel and many other countries. The international community is eating this up so far, most countries giving statements about how glad they are that the U.S. will consult the UN. I mean, COME ON! They're only going to consult you as long as you agree, and a mentally retarded baby chimp with hearing problems could see through Bush's speech because he and other American politicians have always opposed the UN's authority.

Only in America do you see panelists on political debate shows arguing that the UN should bow to the will of the US, it sickens me to hear Bush hypocritically claiming to be rushing in it's defense when everyone knows it was always his plan to attack Iraq, not theirs. He's just selling it to them.

Anyway, rage and indignation subsiding, hunger rising.... urge to kill fading... fading.... RISING! Gone. (from The Simpsons "Shinning" episode in case you were wondering)

Thank you for listening... ;)

I dunno if I'm talkin bout the same speech as you, but one thing that irks me is when he demanded whatever that Iraq give up it's 'weapons of mass murder' when it's been proved that Saddam doesn't have any, he's let UN weapons inspectors in freely, they left of their own free will coz they didn't find anything. Besides that, the U$A has more weapons of 'mass murder' than the whole rest of the world combined. That's everyone. More money is spent on the U$ military, too, more than is spent on schools etc, for a supposedly 'peaceful nation'. Riiiiigggghhhhtttt....

The whole speech was basically a long winded version of: We're gonna do it regardless of what you say, if you're not with us you're against us, and when we're done with Iraq you might be next. Typical U.S. bully tactics.

It pisses me off to no end how opportunistic, simplistic, idiotic and hypocritical the entire speech was. Everything he said about Iraq applies to the US and Israel respectively, and most of it doesn't apply to Iraq at all.

I thought I couldn't hate the man any more, but he has reached new depths of depravity :(

Do you remember the US refusing to enter the anti-torture agreement, or whatever it was?!

I've never heard anything about that what more can you say when the U$ requests that its soldiers are granted amnesty from the International Criminal Court and thus amnesty from prosecution for war crimes. Why do you need amnesty unless you plan on committing a massacre?

Mental Bunny, The U.S. refused to sign the land mines treaty. Maybe thats what you were thinking of?

I remember the anti-torture thing vaguely, it was an Israel thing. Apparently the Mossad (Israeli CIA) reserve the right to torture if it prevents loss of life, and the US didn't want that "right" infringed uppon.

Any details will be welcome, although the whole thing is a bit too sickening to want to read more about :(
