Bin Laden says his own role is to tell Muslims, quote, "what is good for them and what is not." And what this man who grew up in wealth and privilege considers good for poor Muslims is that they become killers and suicide bombers. He assures them that his -- that this is the road to paradise -- though he never offers to go along for the ride. - George W. Bush October 6, 2005
Am I the only one who was struck by the bitter, galling irony of this statement, culled from Bush's "War on Terror" speech this morning?
Clearly Bush has considerable personal experience presuming to tell Americans "what is good for them and what is not"...
Clearly Bush is a man who grew up (sort of) in "wealth and privilege" and what he considers "good" for poor Americans is that they become killers and targets for suicide bombers...
Clearly he assures them (and us) that this is the road to "paradise" (i.e. security)...
And clearly Bush has not, nor has he ever offered to "go along for the ride"...
Once again, Bush proves thru his own words just how much he truly has in common with Osama Bin Laden...
