October 7th… this was reported on Yahoo news…
The fact that Al Jazeera went out and published their own story based on it doesn’t mean it is originally from Al Jazeera.
No, I’m not a fan of Al Jazeera and no, I wouldn’t trust anything I read via Al Jazeera either!

It is something Bush would say but I doubt he said it in that context.

What has Fox News lied about?
It’s not like they got busted with falsified documents or anything.

Nice CBS reference but neither ‘news’ organization has any credibility.
Faux News is by far the worst and they are only slightly eclipsed by Al-Jazeera.

Show me credible evidence that FOX presents misinformation or manufactured, deceitful stories.
The fact that FOX has conservative editorialists is not an answer, so don’t bother floating that balloon.
I rarely watch FOX, but these accusations are comical.

Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers

Yea cmon, why would a massive corporation owned and run by multi-billionaires be swayed one way or the other?
Like an elevator in an outhouse…just don’t make sense

I wondered what that was because it makes no sense.
Pulverize Eiffel towers?

My mistake for thinking that popular music might reflect some folks’ moods. It is an appropriate line for the times…no worse than Dylan or Young. Maybe in the songwriting, but not in the feeling.
Next time I will quote Toby Keith, with his American boot up your ass song or whatever that hillbilly sings. He’s definitly more reputable.
i read the same story on the guardian. also it was discussed on the BBC when they had an interview with Nabil Shaath.
LOL you can’t take anything on Al Jazeera seriously. Those were the guys who were reporting that “infidels were being slaughtered and soundly defeated” during our army’s last visit to Baghdad.

Nah, and it’s not like Rupert Murdoch isn’t a close warm personal friend of the Bush family. Fox would never ever in a million years present misinformation or spin. Nah.
I wanna be an American Idiot…just like Toby Keith.
To get back on track. Here is the original press release:
The source is a direct quote from Nabil Shaath, who by Middle East standards is a reasonable man;-).
The question is whether Shaath has reported Mr. Bush’s statement correctly. Given Mr. Bush’s tendency to foot-in-mouth disease and the fact that he probably was nervous, it may well be a correct quote, if not very well-considered.
OTOH, When Abu Mazen, who was also present, was asked to confirm, he did so paraphrasing in a softer way. That was however after the story had broken in the US, and he would probably not see much point in antagonising the present administration.
Isn’t kremlinology fun?

No, you’re right - it reflects the serious thinking of 15-22 year old trustafarians.
And seriously - never, ever again compare Green Day to Bob Dylan. Thanks in advance for not committing such a hellworthy trespass.

Then it should be no problem at all to show me an empirical example. Go for it.
Did someone quote Toby Keith? Nope.
