Haver Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 As diplomatic efforts today centred on sending an international force to southern Lebanon, unguarded comments by President Bush revealed his immediate focus was getting Syria to halt Hizbullah actions. Unaware that his microphone was switched on President Bush was recorded telling Tony Blair that Syria should press Hizbullah to "stop doing this shit". http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,,1822620,00.html Choice cuts: Bush: Yo Blair How are you doing?Blair: I'm just... Bush: You're leaving? Blair: No, no, no not yet. On this trade thingy...[inaudible] Bush: yeah I told that to the man Bush: Tell her to put him on them on the spot.Thanks for [inaudbible] it's awfully thoughtful of youBlair: It's a pleasure Bush: I know you picked it out yourself Bush: You see, the ... thing is what they need to do is to get Syria, to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over Blair: What does he think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out fine, if we get a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the right way...Bush: Yeah, yeah, he is sweet Blair: He is honey. And that's what the whole thing is about. It's the same with Iraq Bush: I felt like telling Kofi to call, to get on the phone to Bashad [bashir Assad] http://adamboulton.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/07/bush_blair_unpl.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The3rdChildren Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 As a testament to my complete lack of political knowledge, I came into this thread expecting something about video games. The fact I was not greeted with something game-related drives me to anguish. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
