British Zionist commentator Melanie Phillips on the "liberal" BBC:
""It is The Guardian of the air. It has a knee-jerk antipathy to America, the free market, big business, religion, British institutions, the Conservative Party and Israel; it supports the human rights culture, the Palestinians, Irish republicanism, European integration, multiculturalism and a liberal attitude towards drugs and a host of social issues.
"Every day, its relentless bias rolls across the airwaves to shape the assumptions of our society. Who can be surprised at Britain's current anti-Americanism when the BBC starts from the premise that President Bush is a dangerous extremist?"
Perish the thought. Who knew that supporting human rights was so subversive? George W. Bush's side-kick, Dick Cheney, now tells us that it will take "decades" to bring "democracy" to the Middle East:
"Like other great duties in history, it will require decades of patient effort, and it will be resisted by those whose only hope for power is through the spread of violence. As the people of that region experience new hope, progress, and control over their own destiny, we will see the power of freedom to change our world and a terrible threat will be removed."

The hilarity of these people fails to astound anymore. A senior American General tells United Press International the true reality in Iraq, not the Air Force One view:
"I don't know if I have the moral authority to send troops into combat anymore. I'm no longer sure I can look (a soldier or a Marine) in the eye and say: 'This is something worth dying for.'"
Bush himself is hearing voices from God. Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath recalls meeting the US President in June 2003:
"President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"
Bush is rational. The BBC is a hot-bed of communism. Iraq is a democracy. Australian Prime Minister John Howard knows where he stands (speaking at Rancho del Bush in May 2003):
"But can I, Mr. President, congratulate you on the leadership that you gave to the world, at times under very great criticism...I think what was achieved in Iraq was quite extraordinary from the military point of view. I think the military textbooks will be replete with the experiences of Operation Iraqi Freedom for many years to come. And the leadership of the United States, with the support of its coalition partners - Great Britain, Australia, Holland and others - I think has sent a very important message not only to the region, but also to the rest of the world."
The message is loud and clear, boys. And tens of thousands of lives have been lost in the process.

"Human rights culture"? I guess that is a threat for bottom feeding false propagandists like the person you quoted.
The BBC is anything but liberal in my view. However since I'm so blinded by the Human Rights Culture that I'm in I have high standards.
I agree. The BBC is anything but liberal. In the run-up to the Iraq war, for example, it featured less anti-war voices than most US channels. Truly.
Anti-West, indeed.
Why not? Ideology. The Americans won't speak to the Iranians about this in public, though I'm told there have been various deals between the Iranian Mullahs and America re Iraq and Afghanistan.
And, really, the area shouldn't be carved up. But whom? And besides, shouldn't the Iraqis have a say in all this?
The Bush Regime relies on Death, Destruction and Fear to meet it's ends. The War is just going along as planned. It is a Civil War now. As I and many other predicted partitioning was an aim all along. The supposed Iranian support for the resistance if true can certainly be attributed to self defense. Remember the bombing in So. Iran a few months back where CIA/MOSSAD backed "Freedom Fighters" took responsibilty?
It still surprises me that Iran has not done more to defend itself.
Any AmerIsrael mil designs do not include the total occupation of Iran Just it's So. Oil Fields and destablisation efforts in Teheran.
As many of you know there is a fanatic religous aspect to this. The Holy Sanctuary(AlAsqa Mosque Complex) must be destroyed soon for the Temple to be built by 2006 as per prophecy. Many fanatical Christians are in the U.S. government. Only by making the ME situation as ugly as they can will they get away with destroying the Mosque. Remember its not whether you and I beleive such things, they certainly do.
your fellow Human
You mean 'your fellow Fanatic'? An actual Human would have the ability to reason. You don't.
The Mosque on the Temple Mount will only be destroyed by equally fanatical Muslims, possibly to trigger another 'holy' war against the Jews.
Ho hum.
DBO - Antony is as culpable as the credulous fools at the BBC for giving air time to these patently absurd quotes. I knew as soon as I read them that they were phoney. I mean, look at them. I'm amazed anyone bought them. Did you know that Oxford took the word 'gullible' out of their dictionary?
This is what happens when you're blinded by ideological zeal. I'm sure that Antony and the BBC would have loved it if GWB had have said these things. It pays to remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Does this mean Shrub doesn't think god is telling him to do stuff? No.
Geez, I hope you never get picked for jury duty. You're unfairly smearing someone with an accusation even though that accusation has been declared false. I personally know several Christians who don't claim to hear the voice of god - why should GWB?
The God referance was reported long ago. Many of the Bush Sheeple believe that he was sent by God. Like my neighbors just 2 doors down, 3 former co-workers and many of the counter demonstrators who show up to protest the people of peace.
your fellow Human
The quotes appear to be untrue. Point taken. To suggest that a person like GWB wouldn't make comments like that suggests an ignorance of his beliefs, however.
But, yes, the BBC should have checked more carefully, if they are indeed fake.
Human:
Many of the Bush Sheeple believe that he was sent by God.
Yep, and are probably some in the States who believe Bush was sent by a giant grapefruit named Dave. Bush himself is religious, granted. However it's widely noted that he is particularly careful not to invoke a mandate from heaven when justifying his actions. His (successful) electoral strategy has been in targeting the bible belt and bashers as a previously latent political force in the States. I'm sure some of the nuttier ones do think he was sent by God. I'm also sure that the sane ones that make up the majority would never afford such an honour to a mortal. The "they all think Bush was sent by God" is an American Liberal/Democrat furphy.
Also, what's with the "your fellow human" weirdness? I admit, when you start wheeling out all your tinfoil conspiracy theories, I occasionally think that perhaps you are a trained chimpanzee, but usually I'll concede that even the most cognitively unhinged posters here hail from the species homo sapien sapiensis.
I think he has said this himself on a number of occasions
DBO:
You think? And that's good enough for you to declare the substance of obviously false quotes as fact? Sorry, but that's sloppy thinking that I doubt you'd accept from someone like me.
Do you agree that Shaath was likely taking the piss?
Who knows? Who cares? Where's the point in speculating?
Antony:
But, yes, the BBC should have checked more carefully, if they are indeed fake.
Yes, they are fake, Antony. The BBC has retracted them. Sorry to interrupt your scolding of the BBC, but their irresponsibility doesn't abrogate your own. You used a set of blatantly - no - painfully obviously phoney quotes to bolster your case against Bush. You're guilty of the same misdemeanours as the BBC.
To suggest that a person like GWB wouldn't make comments like that suggests an ignorance of his beliefs, however.
Um. What do you know of GWB's beliefs outside of what moveon.org and dailykos (oh, and the BBC!) tells you? You don't think you might be just a trifle biased against the man - to the point where you'll abandon your common sense and utilise clearly fake quotes in your rantings against him? Just a suggestion.
Rumoura abound thatDubya is hitting hte bottle again.
Are you sure that you aren't as well?
Tick tock.
Let the clock run out. It's never going to happen.
No reasonable source can validate dirt's babbling.
Why not? You said you would.
If you won't, I rest my case re. my "sloppy thinking" remark.
