Not so much scolds but definitly holds a big sign up to think about a few things before going totally unilateral. [Bush Sr warns over unitlateral action](http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-605441,00.html) Color me impressed! Dunno if it is true but my respect for the old man went up a few points. ---

I don’t recall this specific link being posted before, but I could be mistaken. At any rate, I think the link is very significant and deserves it’s on thread. TigoleBitties, I wonder how people who have had respect for both of the Bush Presidents will feel about these comments. I am stunned! ---

It’s been posted twice - these are on Pg 2 of GD. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168742](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168742) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168586](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168586) My opinion is that the Times article is slanted beyond recognition. One of these threads contains a link to Bush’s speech at Tufts, judge for yourselves. ---

Already debunked numerous times, yet those who cannot fail to see any potential slight against a Republican as the gospel truth continue to pass it all along without bothering to check the veracity in the slightest. ---

When Saddam has weapons I don’t mind those weapons. You’ll bomb his ass, sonny boy. France may forsake us. Let those frogs forsake us. We’ll rename fries, sonny boy. You beat out Gore, dear, And I know your worth. You’re put here for, dear, The End Times on earth. God bless you! When I’m feeling blue, dear, I’ll teach you to say “noo-clear,” I need you so, sonny boy! ---

Wow, the difference between that speech and the media interpretation really goes to show what spin can do.
