The Little Pretender Defends "Axis of Evil" Label

Via NY Transfer News * All the News That Doesn't Fit

[George Bush actually had the supreme gall (not the balls, because he
has none) to turn up at the US military academy at West Point, to
make a little squeaky speech defending his cartoon construct of the
"Axis of Evil." This is a man who, if he were ever actually IN
UNIFORM, which of course he avoided thanks to Pop's mega-bucks, would
have been liable to be shot for desertion, since he's always done his
best to stay "out of harm's way" -- not only during the Vietnam War,
but on 911, when he was nominally the "Commander in Chief." The
biggest risk this half-wit ever took was frying his brains with coke,
pickling what was left in alcohol, and salting the pitiful remainder
with pretzels.  Put this little coward away in a jar, where he
belongs.]

Bush Defends 'Axis of Evil' Label

WEST POINT, New York, June 1 (AFP)--US President George W Bush on
Saturday defended his designation of Iran, Iraq and North Korea as
the "axis of evil," dismissing its critics and vowing to "call evil
by its name."

"Some worry that it is somehow undiplomatic or impolite to speak the 
language of right and wrong; I disagree," the president told graduating 
cadets at this top US military school. Some key allies have derided the 
"axis" label as simplistic, while other have openly worried that such 
rhetoric harms the chances of opening a dialogue with such nations.

But Bush, who did not use the "axis" label in his speech, countered:
"By confronting evil and lawless regimes, we do not create a problem,
we reveal a problem. And we will lead the world in opposing it."
"There can be no neutrality between justice and cruelty, between the
innocent and the guilty. We are in a conflict between good and evil,
and America will call evil by its name," said the US leader.
