George Bush on Iraq Power transfer: Wha?
April 6th, 2004
“The United Nations representative is there now to work on the — on a — on to whom we transfer sovereignty. I mean, in other words, it’s one thing to decide to transfer. We’re now in the process of deciding what the entity will look like to whom we will transfer sovereignty.”
–Bush answering a reporter’s question in Charlotte, North Carolina, April 5, 2004
What the heck does that mean?
Maybe “Thank God we managed to destroy the United Nations and now we’re gonna try to rebuild it as we want it to be — which means that it will be a subsidiary of our friends’ companies.”? Who knows?
It’s very interesting — what it sounds like is “now we’re trying to decide the best way to ensure that the US stays in control of Iraq.”
It’s a little late, but I am still angry with John Kerry’s rantings. It just sounded like, in the debates and on the campaign trail, that John Kerry was creating mythical realities about what Bush and other Republicans stand for, just to win an election. He didn’t come across as forthright.
