Thread: Moronic quotes

I still can't understand why no one has but a bullet in the kunt's head (and Cheney).

It's a mystery...

since mr. earl has decided that one can't be more of a partisan scum bag than leahy, i'd like to know if cheney is as much or less of a partisan scum bag.

and as far as the quantification is concerned, is it beyond the realm of possibility that he mr. earl has a rubric for partisan scum bags?

Well, ray, we see you can't be all that impartial based on your rather inflamatory avatar can we?

first of all, you ask a lot of questions which could be inferred to be rhetorical.

secondly, i appreciate your continued interest, but my question is for mr. earl.

btw, i like your av too.

Ray IMHO your question is rhetorical.

But I will give you due courtesy just the same.

Dick Cheney is the vice- president. Which means he has his "vices"
Which in turn automatically make him the king of scumbags!
He's the man! He can tell Patrick Leahy to "fuck off" anytime.
If you want someone working for you I'd say you'd want them to have "balls". Dick Cheney has "balls".

Yes and his balls are so big that he was disturbed while hunting a bird and shot his friend.

I wonder what would happen if Dick goes to Iraq to fight the insurgents??

How many U.S soldiers will he kill??

Actually, no, I didn't forget them. They are simply pathetic and sad. Not funny. I usually ignore their silly posts, they add nothing in value or entertaining material.

You in the other hand, you are a Grand Master

This from former (and thankfully dead) Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Peterson


On human rights: "What's the ordinary man in the street got to do with it?"

On condoms: "We don't want any of that sort of thing up here."


On press criticisms: "The greatest thing that could happen to the state and nation is when we get rid of all the media ... then we could live in peace and tranquillity and no one would know anything."

On criticism of Queensland's perceived backwardness: "You, you, you, southerners...you all think you can come up here and kick a dead horse when he's down, well I, I, I, you, you, you, just wait & see, mark my word."

On former Chinese leader Mao: "Red is red wherever it is - and I don't trust any of them."

On industrial relations: "The 40-hour week has given the opportunity to many to while away their time in hotels."

On the Joh for PM campaign: "I'm a bushfire raging across the country." And when it failed: "I never really wanted to go anyway."


Sad thing about Bush & co is that this is 2006...not 1976

CLINTON: Well, Mr. Secretary, I know you would and I know you feel strongly about it, but there’s a track record here. This is not 2002, 2003, 2004-5, when you appeared before this committee and made many comments and presented, you know, many assurances that have frankly proven to be unfulfilled, and –
RUMSFELD: Senator, I don’t think that’s true. I have never painted a rosy picture. I have been very measured in my words, and you’d have a dickens of a time trying to find instances where I have been excessively optimistic. I understand this is tough stuff.

whoops!

Dec. 18, 2002: KING: What’s the current situation in Afghanistan? RUMSFELD: It is encouraging. They have elected a government through the Loya Jirga process. The Taliban are gone. The al Qaeda are gone.
Feb. 7, 2003: “It is unknowable how long that conflict [the war in Iraq] will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.”
Feb. 20 2003: “‘Do you expect the invasion, if it comes, to be welcomed by the majority of the civilian population of Iraq?’ Jim Lehrer asked the defense secretary on PBS’ The News Hour. ‘There is no question but that they would be welcomed,’ Rumsfeld replied, referring to American forces.”
Mar. 30, 2003: “It happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction were dispersed. We know where they are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.”

well, i didn't have a 'dickens of a time' finding them. pretty easy actually.

Condoleezza Rice quotes---- for your contemplation

^
jesus.

As a rule I try to avoid posting links to obvious right-wing or left-wing websites. Hardly a source for unbiased facts.

I'm not having a go. How do we know the quotes are genuine? I googled them and came up with maybe 5 sources for the quote on kook websites or dead links.

As a mod you must give up your child like ways to a certain extent. You need to set the example for the rest of us who are inclined to sink into the mud.

Fekking something!
There's plenty of space for members to post stuff here, and for mods as well.

I made a mistake, I'll be more diligent in future.

That's good to know surasak. Did you find a source for all that big oil offshore of Cuba?

A friend sent me this from the Economist:

When he addressed an end-of-year meeting of Cuba's National Assembly—one of his first public appearances since breaking his knee and arm in a fall—Mr Castro had other victories to report. China has offered cheap loans for an electronics plant and to refurbish crumbling hospitals. It has also shown interest in Cuba's nickel deposits. Two Canadian companies, Pebercan and Sherritt International, have found a small new oilfield off the north-west coast, estimated to contain 100m barrels. The oil is heavy, and must be mixed with lighter imported crude for refining. But officials hope for more discoveries—Spain's Repsol is exploring in deep water in the Gulf of Mexico. Since Mr Castro began giving licences to foreign oil companies in the early 1990s, production has quadrupled to 75,000 b/d.

Cuba's economy | With help from oil and friends | Economist.com


I found this:

Based on onshore and coastal oil reserves of 1 billion barrels, Cuba could sustain production rates of about 50-70,000 b/d of crude oil for the next 20 years.

However, recent U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reports place the North Cuba Basin potential at approximately 5 billion barrerls of undiscovered oil, which could make the island self-sufficient in its oil needs as well as a net exporter.

Focus on Cuba



Estimated cuban oil reserves 1 to 5 billion barrels. Cuban produces 75,000 barrels per day meeting about half it's oil needs. Not much there to work with really. Considering the US produced around 7.9 million barrels per day during 2003. I don't see how our attitude is going to change. Cuba's offshore oil is just a drop in the ocean so to speak.

Perhaps I may ask in turn for members to post comments in the apropriate thread?

touche

Re: Cuban oil, I saw it on the news the other day.

The question isn't whether or not we'll go for it but whether we'll object to Chinese oil companies getting in on the action while we keep our stupid embargo.

Continue in the Cuba thread, please.
I'd move the posts there, but it would look a bit out of context.

Ok, here it is from a 'reliable' source:

"We need a common enemy to unite us."
"Punish France, ignore Germany, and forgive Russia."
Condoleezza Rice Quotes

More about the lying hypocrite:
Conspiring with chimperella:

President Bush, asked whether he regretted his false claim about the uranium, responded by saying there was "no doubt" in his mind that he was right to conquer Iraq.
... Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, said that the president's discredited claim was still technically a true statement

Facing criticism over the United States' network of secret prisons in Europe, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pointed out that intelligence gathered from terrorism suspects has helped prevent attacks in not only the United States but Europe as well.

Condoleezza Rice was thinking that the tsunami presented a "wonderful opportunity" for the U.S. to make friends in Asia.

Rice did appear publicly on 60 Minutes and confirmed Clarke's claim, originally denied by the White House, that on September 12, 2001, President Bush ordered Clarke to focus on possible Iraqi involvement in the 9/11 attacks, which the CIA had already concluded were carried out by Al Qaeda.
