France24 - Laura Bush book suggests poison at German summit: report


Dear Mrs Bush,

May I be so bold as to remind you that Germany did not take part in the assassination of foreign leaders such as Saddam Hussein?

May I be so bold once again as to remind you that the last time a POTUS was killed, it did not happen in Europe but down in Texas?

Have a nice retirement.

Yours trully.

Ah revisionist history.

Saddam was tried in a court of law and hanged.

Pick up a dictionary.

So your logic is that presidents only get assassinated in Texas?

Step away from the wine and your 32 hour work week.

"The U.S. Military's Assassination Problem," by David Case. Mother Jones, April 2008

"Since 1976, when it was revealed that the cia had made repeated attempts on the life of Fidel Castro, every American president has issued an executive order banning political assassinations. This ban, however, never applied to leaders with whom the United States is at war, and so the military has launched strikes against Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic..."

Also, are you denying that the only time a POTUS was killed, it happened in Texas, USA?

PS: Some of us enjoy a 35 hour work week btw. Educate yourself. I recommend you stay away from Texas textbooks...

And this has what to do with whether or not someone tried to poison them? Since it hasn't happened before, it can't be possible?:roll:

he doesn't have to. 2/3 presidents that have been assissnated in the US were killed in D.C. (see lincoln & garfield).

there was also an attempt on reagan in D.C.

I did not know, thank you. But still, all of these assassinations happened on US soil, not in Europe....

Which does not mean that an assassination could not take place in a foreign country.

History just shows that we do not try to kill your leaders, even when we dislike them, period. That is a practice you do on your own:shock:

Of course not, but come on, you have to admit that you are more enclined to do it than us, as your history shows.

What?
How many French leaders have been executed by the French? Do you all even bother keeping count anymore?
 

I'll say it again real slow.

Saddam Hussein was not assassinated.

Presidents have been assassinated in more states than Texas.

I know its hard for you but try and keep up.

35 hours? Oh excuse me! You guys are definitely hard core! :rofl

Were we not talking about the POTUS, as in President Of The United States?

I do not recall us trying to kill any of YOUR leaders, that is all.

Because I don't go around making unsubstantiated claim about being poisoned while visiting the US.

Your military has tried to kill Saddam several times without success (only adding to the civilian death toll) before he was found, tried and hung. You also tried to kill Fidel Castro and Milosevic before that.

I admitted my error previously. I did not know about Lincoln and Garfield, both killed on US soil. Anyway, the last time it happened, it still was in Texas. Hard-Core indeed!

Your history shows you to be suckered by the likes of Napolean, and Hitler just to your east.

What is your freaking point?

You helped us beat the British in our revolution, thanks. But never forget, if it wasn't for the United States, your country and all of its people would be exterminated or fully German now.

And thanks for your fries. They're yummy.

....and that's leaving some out. What about Louis XVI and his German wife Marie? Maybe they're not counting the Guillotine.

Your comment here is motivated by pure emotionalism and has nothing to do with common sense.

Saddam's execution(As a result of a trial, not the history revisionism you're promoting here) and JFK's assassination have next to nothing to do with Laura's fear of deliberate poisoning here.

I don't even understand what your line of thought was and what did you expect to gain by bringing up such issues.

Exactly. Laura Bush didn't say who, she just said where and what.

Like you were told, you should keep your ignorance to yourself.

Lincoln was murdered by an assassins bullet.

Didn't happen in Texas.

McKinley was murdered by an assassin's bullet.

Didn't happen in Texas.

Garfield was murdered by an assassin's bullet.

Didn't happen in Texas.

Kennedy was killed in Dallas, and you guessed lucky that Dallas is in Texas.
