Wednesday, September 24, 2003 georgie's big day! a photo essay. 
-"you're the UN dude, right? i'm curious. are you a secretary or a general?" -"my lord, what a dumbshit." UPDATE: new caption.. "i'll have someone get you a diet coke with lime right away. my name is kofi and i actually run this joint." 
"blah blah blah. shoot, man. when do i get to go?" 
"this thing on?" 
"i didn't just hear that..." and the reaction... A Vague Pitch Leaves Mostly Puzzlement One reason for the vagueness is that U.S. diplomats have discovered in recent weeks that little help is likely to be forthcoming... ...The list of countries willing and able to provide troops appears to have dwindled, not increased, and even financially deep-pocketed countries such as Japan have indicated they would not be able to contribute much to the U.S. enterprise in Iraq, U.S. officials said. "There is a hell of a case of donor fatigue," a senior administration official said today. "A realistic appraisal [of what a new resolution would bring] is 'not much.' " Audience Unmoved During Bush's Address at the U.N. A president who has led his forces to victory, ostensibly on behalf of the United Nations, would in theory deserve a hero's welcome. But that was not what President Bush encountered in an icy chamber here today, almost five months after he declared an end to major hostilities in Iraq. .... The audience of world leaders seemed to perceive an American president weakened by plunging approval ratings at home, facing a tough security situation in Iraq where American soldiers are dying every week, and confronted by the beginnings of a revolt against the American timetable for self-rule by several Iraqi leaders installed by the United States. Nor did they seem eager to help. If anything, they appeared more skeptical than ever of Mr. Bush's assertions, including his promise to "reveal the full extent" of illegal weapons programs he says exist in Iraq, and unforthcoming, at least for now, in their response to his appeal for help with the Iraq occupation and reconstruction. Bush’s U.N. fiasco Has an American president ever delivered such a bafflingly impertinent speech before the General Assembly as the one George W. Bush gave this morning? Here were the world’s foreign ministers and heads of state, anxiously awaiting some sign of an American concession to realism — even the sketchiest outline of a plan to share not just the burden but the power of postwar occupation in Iraq. And Bush gave them nothing, in some ways less than nothing. the calvary ain't comin', george. you've made sure of that. besides very few folks in the international community want to see a second bush term. fortunately for them (and for us) you've also made sure that ain't gonna happen either. dumbass. yeah yeah yeahs: "our time" "now it's our time.. ..our time.. ..our time to be hated.." posted by downtown | 3:11 AM |
