CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - President Bush said Monday he is committed to the June 30 deadline for transferring power in Iraq and will not be deterred by violence and an armed Shiite revolt against the U.S.-led occupation.

"The deadline remains firm," Bush told reporters.

Bush also criticized a radical Shiite cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, whose supporters rioted in Baghdad and four other cities in fighting that killed at least 52 Iraqis, eight U.S. troops and a Salvadoran soldier.

"This is one person that is deciding that rather than allowing democracy to flourish, he's going to exercise force," Bush said. "We just can't let it stand."

An Iraqi judge has issued a murder arrest for al-Sadr for the killing of another Shiite leader, coalition officials said

"This is a person and followers who are trying to say we don't want democracy, as a matter of fact, we'll decide the course of democracy by the use of force, and that is the opposite of democracy," Bush said.

He said the United States would not be deterred from meeting the June 30 deadline for transferring authority in Iraq.

"The intention is to make sure the deadline remains the same," Bush said.


Anyone see the irony in his statement?

We're going to democratize Iraq even if we have to kill 10,000 of you ingrateful bastards to do so. Afterwards, we'll shove democracy down your throats with a metal gaunlet, and you're gonna like it or else. Oh and by the way, we're out of here by June 30th, even if your stupid country is embroiled in a full-on civil war. Whatever, we tried. Later.

Anyone see the irony in his statement?

Only if you read his statement intenintally wrong as you are. The sentence structure is a little off but the meaning is quite clear.

I'll help you out a little.

"This is a person and followers who are trying to say we don't want democracy, as a matter of fact, we'll (meaning al sadr 'will')decide the course of democracy by the use of force, and that is the opposite of democracy," Bush said.

Now there's some steadfast support! Dubya articulates himself (again) like a mildly-retarded 5th grader and "the sentence structure is a little off." Priceless!

Somehow, I'm not surprised that you Rightwingers fail to see the irony.

Oh, yes, that's exactly how I read it.

*That* is the irony!

You are just too dense to realize that.

You see, Bush is criticizing al Sadr for using force to decide the course of democracy when he is doing the exact same thing!

And that sentence is definitely a Bushism. Don't you apologists find it sad that you have to disect his sentences for him?

What are you on? we arent surrendering iraq to anything, we are handing governmental control to the iraqui police, army, and interim govt. WE ARE NOT LEAVING IRAQ ON THE DEADLINE. We will still be a strong security presence in the country to help the interim govt maintain control until an elected one is in place.

If we hand over control of Iraq to the Iraqi on June 30th and they ask us to get our troops out of Iraq. Will we leave? No chance in hell.

Pick any date you want, its all politics. Until our troops leave we will maintain control of Iraq.
