Tuesday's will hopefully be "Please let that waste of biomass end his existence immediately, and cause the least additional harm to the world."

I would be up in front of my company commander within days, probably by the third time someone tried to inflict that garbage on me.

What's the bet more then a few soldiers will use those pamphlets as toilet paper?

Wow. Each time, Bush finds a new low. Each time, I am sickened by how he somehow dug a little deeper.

Now, I don't pray. Haven't since I was quite small, and even then it was a vague 'Uh, if you're up there, help' sort of thing. But I respect someone's right to pray for someone else they are worried about. I respect that it means they wish them well and want to make sure.

But it'd be alot asking that, oh, people pray for the damn soldiers in harm's way, wouldn't it, and not the retard getting them deeper into the shit?

I wouldn't want to contaminate my ass with that filth.
Besides, the paper's going to be all wrong for the task, and you get toilet paper in you MRE anyway.

They list two examples: "Pray that the President and his advisers will seek God and his wisdom daily and not rely on their own understanding" and "Pray that the President and his advisers will be strong and courageous to do what is right regardless of critics".

When do they hand out the "pray that I get the fuck out of here in one piece" pamphlets? Or is that prayer not important for the fuckwits who composed this material?

While I entertain absolutely zero doubts whatsoever that Bush would endorse this wholeheartedly, the article did say this was from a private group.

It looking more like a war of religions each time some new religious shit is published.

He's got a lot of nerve asking the people who are dodging bullets and getting killed for his agenda to pray for him. Every time I think that the Bush administration can't possibly go any lower, they find a better shovel.

Why do I think, that Bush tries to become like the president seen in the movie "Escape from L.A.", with the fine but important difference, that Bush won't get a life-long term?

and here i thought that bush couldn't get any more filled with hubris than he already is. silly me to think that he couldn't possibly do anything even more stupid. a good PR move would have been making fliers for american citizens and asking them to pray for the soldiers in Iraq, but nooo.

not that i advocate such tactics, but it would have made far more sense than Bush's idiotic bullshit. At least it doesn't seem that he may have been directly behind those things. Is there any source as to who got the idea to get them printed?

You know, I almost didn't believe that Bush would be capable of pulling something this insanely idiotic off. I mean, he's a dipshit, easily co-erced, religious fundy moron, all right, but not a completely witless moron, I mean, there had to be *some* mental activity going on to get him in the position he is now.

Then I think about to him cracking a joke about several million dead over some fictitious WMD's, and I decide that maybe he is capable of pulling this sort of bullshit.

*sighs* Guess I'll accelerate my plan of putting together enough savings to move to Japan.

Eh...Bush isn't asking them to pray for him.

It's some nutcase private group called In Touch ministries that is.

I love Bush-bashing (heh. He said 'Bush'

) as much as the next person, but let's make sure we're on target.

Several....million?

I dare say the USPS and printers goofed. The pamphlets were supposed to go to Bush and his cronies and were supposed to say "pray for the soldiers".

Oh wait, I forgot we're in Bizarro World (TM).

Wicked Pilot · Post by **Wicked Pilot** » 2004-04-13 05:55pm

In all fairness to Bush, there is no indication yet that he is responsible for sending those things out.

On the OT, if I were a praying person, my prayers concerning Bush would be something I could probably get court marshalled for if said aloud.
