Saddam would use far better English.

Not to mention that Saddam would be able to win any debate fairly easily, he's smart as hell and FAR more charismatic than Bush.

And not just because of his "like me or I torture you" policies.

He's kinda smart in the Stalin sense to me. Is it just me or does it seem like he sees Stalin as an idol or something? Look at their mustashes(sp?), very similar. You know Saddam married his cousin? That's why his son is a total psychopath...he's inbred. :shock:

Bush's English is less than explementry, but if his speechwriter is doing the work, he wins.

Saddam would have a thick accent, but Bush would say stupid things inadvertently.

In the long run of the debate it wouldn't matter, since the military would trace the satellite link to Saddam's location and drop a bomb on him. :mrgreen:

Why not have a little reciever in Bush's ear? Feed Bush all the right answers from a Washington think tank.

I'd find it really amusing if everything Bush said Saddam just shot back in perfect English

"Red herring!"

"Strawman!"

"Ad hominem!"

etc etc

Eh if Bush dies it mearly reverts to the Obvious, Cheney no longer having to pull Bush's string once in awhile and making him say what he wants
Instead being able to kick back and relax and skip the whole "Distract Bush Jr with Shiny Object" Phase of his planes :wink:

uh... charismatic charisma? :? (isn't that a little repetitive?)

anyway.

what's the big stink with bush? so he abuses the english langauge, so what? we all do. in fact the english langauge by unoffical definition is an abused langauge. kneed or need. know or no. plain or plane. etc or etc. :roll: so mr. bush misspeaks. but to say he's dumb and stupid is just plain iggnorant. he's a yale grad for Kobol's sake. or maybe he's just trying to invent new words to make his legacy more lasting. i'm mean clinton's actions in office lead to new jokes about "cigars" and the "oral" office. but bush can't do dirty things so he needs another way to be remembered. by inventing new words. :wink: don't anyone misunderestimate me now. :)

Yale graduate....good for him....isnt it great to know even a total dumb ass can buy a qualification.....

Correct me if I'm wrong....but hasnt every business he's been in fucked up? Isnt he the bright spark that couldnt make money in the OIL industry?

No one said that he abused the English language. We said he doesn't know it. He's incapable of speaking it correctly. When you're the leader of the most powerful nation in the world, addressing your nation and others, you should at least be able to speak your native language correctly without having to resort to a script or teleprompter. If you consistently fuck up your native language or mispronounce easily pronounceable words like "nuclear," you make yourself look like a total ass.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he only had place in the university because his dad was a student there (in my portuguese eyes, a fucked up system, smells like royalty), took an easy enough degree with mediocre grades, and spent quite a few extra years doing it. Also, I thought it was Harvard. Oh well.

Some applications for colleges actually ask you if you have any relatives that have gone to that college. Stanford is one I know of that does that.

Only by virtue of the fact that he has previous experience. The Democrats haven't come up with a single person who can challenge Shrub, even though I'd vote for almost any Democrat over that illiterate fucktard.

to be at all fair most people mispronounce "nulear" as "nucular" so...

as for not knowing the langauge, i think that's just not right. i've noticed that he does a better job of speaking when he's not using a teleprompter or scriptwriter. as for how the leader of a country speaking a certian way i can't say i think it matters. it makes him more in touch with the common person and less of an elitist dick. that just MHO however.

And worse Durendal some of them make Asscroft look like Gandhi(Case in Point Liberman)

I hope Sharpton gets the nomination as its obvious his party does not want him to and I've love to see them try and smile and explain away all the nasty things they said about him during the Primarys(Dem's need the Black vote, Sharpton can take it right the hell away from them and easily so, They have to get rid of him but they have to do it right least Blacks get mad and vote Republican, Or Green party :lol: )
