Why hasn't Iraq (and Saddam especially) insulted Bush's intelligence?

  • Thread starter Thread starter
  • Start date Start date

We all know that Bush isn't one of the smarter presidents in recent memory. Personally, I feel that if Iraq really wanted to set us off, they'd make fun of our 'stupid' president in their addresses and press releases.

Is it possibly because they don't want to REALLY piss of President Bush, because then he'll really go all out with our armed forces? You'd think that if Iraq really wanted to take a cut at the U.S., they'd insult our leader's intelligence (obviously something that many Americans joke about).

I wonder why they haven't?

EDIT: Forget it. This thread was meant to provoke thought and intelligent comments, but instead people are just attacking me. Far be it from me to discuss our president's intelligence. Rather I should be discussing the intelligence of the childish posters here.

And where's Red Dawn when I need him? 😉

They may be above that?

LMAO... the comment was soooooo on target... but...

All in all, does it matter, the US intelligence is obviously flaked, CIA says one thing an the gov another, then the gov says another thing which proves to be completely wrong, then they present their flawed evidence...

The us WANTED this to happen, that is all i can conclude...
 
I only saw it on TV once, but there was this clip of the (I think) Iraqi Prime Minister at the U.N. filmed Monday absolutely berating Bush. I don't remember the whole exact thing, but he kept saying things like he didn't understand how such an idiot could become president of the U.S.
 
Unlike jumpr, President Bush is an adult who doesn't get his panties in a bunch when someone calls him a nancy boy.
 
Ok, I'm a democrat who would have voted for Gore.

That said, to say Bush is not intelligent is ludicrous. Granted, he isn't a very eloquent speaker, but how many ivy league schools have YOU gone to?
 
So, poor enunciation must make somebody a moron.

Crap, in that case I share the intelligence level with a rotten turnip that has been removed from a donkey's colon.

The children of the rich and powerful don't have the same entrance requirements to ivy league schools the average person does. The fact that he attended the best schools in the U.S. and still can't grasp the English language says a lot.

What about a student whose primary language is not English? They may mispronounce words yet get accepted into an excellent school, yet therefore must be stupid because as a Yale/Harvard/Duke/MIT grad they do not have a huge grasp of the English language.

jumpr - Who are YOU to comment on anyone's intelligence? What exactly are your credentials?

I don't have any credentials. I'll say it. I just know (for a fact) that President Bush isn't the smartest president we've had, and it's a FACT that Americans make fun of it and have been for the past 2 years.

I don't claim to be better than Bush. I just want to know why Iraqi officials haven't commented on his intelligence, since so many of his own countrymen have done so.

It's a serious question. Don't attack me personally.
 
Don't mistake Bush's complete lack of public speaking skills for a lack of intelligence...

Your underlying assumption is absurd.

The reason is in bold.
