NEW YORK — In an appeal to the people of the broader Middle East, President Bush said Tuesday that voice must be given to the hopes of decent people in the region who want a peaceful and prosperous future for their children, and denounced those who would exploit Islam as a propaganda tool.

 

"This propaganda is false and its purpose is to confuse you and justify acts of terror. We respect Islam, but we will protect our people from those who pervert Islam to sow death and destruction," Bush told diplomats attending the U.N. General Assembly.

It seems French is siding with Russia and China with GBritian and US on the other side. That's not shocking.

I watched the speech and GW kicked butt. Had Clinton given a similar address to the UN, the media would have exhausted their supply of superlatives.

Agreed!! Sometimes I think that Bush could deliver the Gettysburg Address and the media would lampoon him.

There's only three words I wanted to hear from Bush in his UN speech: "We're outta here." (The UN, not Iraq.)

Shoot, given the opportunity, today's media would lampoon Lincoln for the Gettysburg Address. :lol:

The Gettysburg Address was lampooned by the press when it was given. It was not flowery enough for those days.

[Hatz]

It sometimes amazes me how the "big bad press" has just suddenly appeared. Go back and check your first source history and see if the lampooning of Lincoln, Jackson, Grant, and so many others weren't incidents that were highly inflammatory if not down right slander.

You are 100 % correct. No matter what he does or says he gets zero respect from the media and the left wing liberials and it has been like that from day one.

Has anybody found any good accomplishments from the UN? (Probably a good subject for another thread...)

Why should we spend money to upgrade or re-furbish the building when Chavez will build them a new one in Venezula.:flame:

 

 

I don't believe they can get any more anti-American.

The biggest difference now is the number of people that actually get to hear and read these media reports. Plus, you now have several channels dedicated to 24-hour "news".

 

But, you make a good point.

Yep...I hate it when the media drops bombs on and occupies innocent cilvilians in countries like Iraq.

The speech sounds a lot like President Bush is trying to "win the hearts and minds" of people in the Middle East ... when some of us suggest that is an important part of making US policy work in that part of the world, we get ridiculed here.
