Let's Kill the President

[BAWLS]

Apparently that's what was on these people's minds when Bush visited the Columbian city of Cartagena.

Although I don't think there was any assasination attempt, I still think this is pretty serious.

Colombian Rebels Planned to Kill President Bush

"According to informants and various sources, we had information indicating that various members of the FARC had been instructed by their leaders to make an attempt against President Bush," Defense Secretary Jorge Alberto Uribe told reporters.

He would not reveal details of the threat.

The U.S. Secret Service, which protects the president, said it "does not comment or release information regarding our protective intelligence and protective methods."

"We do not discuss any alleged threats to our protectees," said Jonathan Cherry, a Secret Service spokesman.

White House spokesman Jim Morrell also declined to comment on the plot, but he said: "We have full confidence in the fine work of the Secret Service and their work with the security officials on the ground when the president travels."

The 17,000-strong Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, fighting a 40-year guerrilla war against the state, has long accused the United States of backing business interests in this Andean country while ignoring the 60 percent of the population that lives in poverty.

There was heavy security in Cartagena when Bush visited the city on Monday on his way back from the APEC forum in Chile. Military helicopters packed with armed soldiers flew over Bush's motorcade while naval vessels kept watch offshore. Many shops were shuttered.

The FARC has made many attempts against the life of President Alvaro Uribe, one of few conservative South American presidents with strong ties to Washington. Uribe, whose father was killed resisting kidnap by the FARC in the 1980s, narrowly survived a car bomb attack by the FARC during his 2002 presidential campaign.

The last U.S. president to visit Colombia was Bill Clinton, whose trip to Cartagena was marked by the seizure of bomb-making materials from a house six blocks from a building Clinton was visiting.

Bush used his four-hour trip to solidify his alliance with Uribe, whom he considers an ally in the effort to curtail the illegal drug trade and fight terrorism.

Colombia produces about 90 percent of the cocaine consumed in the United States and 50 percent of the heroin.

Washington has paid out more than $3 billion over the past four years for Plan Colombia, a security and anti-drug program developed by Clinton and former Colombian President Andres Pastrana. Bush has promised more support.

Colombia's economy is expected to grow by 4 percent this year and next as it takes advantage of a reduction in violence in its war involving the FARC and far-right paramilitaries, both of which have links to the country's huge cocaine trade.

lol yes most of the stuff in that article is irrelevant, but I didn't write it. I just don't like posting pieces of an article. And it's the only one I was able to find on the topic.

i would enjoy it very much if some one killed GW.....
damn right wing nutt-job! NADER SHOULD HAVE BEN PRESIDENT!!!!

[witeshark]

Guess who Secret Service is watching tonight along with Columbian people*

WTF? Why should GWB die? What kind of fucktard are you. I don't agree on his way of leading the US, I'm against war in Iraq, but doesn't mean he should be killed. He shouldn't be president...

Yeah, I agree too man, a wise man once told me (though he was high on weed)
"Man is a creature of superior intelliegence who elects creatures of inferior intelligence to govern him"

[BAWLS]

Every 20 years, the president elected is supposed to die in office.

William Henry Harrison, 1840: pneumonia
Abraham Lincoln, 1860: assasinated
James Garfield, 1880: assasinated
William McKinley, 1900: assasinated
Warren G. Harding, 1920: assasinated
Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1940: cerebral hemorrhage
John F. Kennedy, 1960: assasinated
Ronald Reagan, 1980: assasination attempt
George W. Bush, 2000: ???

Of course Regan's survival sort of puts this theroy in the bullshit column, but it's still something to raise a brow at.

[lapslf]

I think that coke-sniffer bush has no right to fight a war on drugs.

[Blackmagic]

I think wherever Bush goes there will be someone or some group who wanna kill him. That guy aint exactly popular outside of the whitehouse.

...wtf

The intention of this thread wasn't to discuss your desire to see Bush killed. Besides, I'm pretty sure that's illegal -.^

Bush needs to be impeached, thrown out of office, and maybe even sent to prison, but he doesn't deserve to die. Besides, Cheney will just take over anyway, and Bush will go down in history as a great American president.

Former coke sniffer. Ever thought he wants it off the streets because he has firsthand knowledge of what it does to people?

My first guess would be that he was pulled over by a police officer for erratic driving behavior, then given a breathalizer test to determine that his blood alchohol level was above the legal limit.

None of our President's have been popular outside of the whitehouse, or the U.S. for that matter. Since when has there ever been a United States president that was loved the world over?

If you can find an impeachable offense with which you can accuse him of, go right ahead.

Besides, Cheney will just take over anyway, and Bush will go down in history as a great American president.

Looking at it from your point of view, what good does it to do impeach him if this is the scenario that impeachment entails?

What I meant, smart ass, was that during the 70s, almost everyone drove drunk. It wasn't paid much attention to as it is today. He must have been pretty drunk.

Ironic isn' it, that it's always the same people who say others shouldn't be able to pass judgement because they supposedly haven't tried it.

[dudeI8urmom91]

he doesnt need to die he just needs to get out of office

[BAWLS]

It looks like Ralph Nader already answered both of your questions for me.

I am seriously thinking of voting for that guy in '08.

George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should be impeached for two reasons:

-They led the United States into an illegal, unconstitutional war in Iraq.
-They misled the Congress and the American people with five falsehoods that led to war.

Looking at it from your point of view, what good does it to do impeach him if this is the scenario that impeachment entails?

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution provides: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Or he was just slightly intoxicated and some random police officer decided to pull him over our of sheer boredom. WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.

George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should be impeached for two reasons:

-They misled the Congress and the American people with five falsehoods that led to war.

And with a Republican controlled congresss, how likely do think the chances are of there being an impeachment of President Bush?

Now wait a damn minute. Everytime I bring up the fact that it's called the "War" in Iraq, I am promptly corrected and told it's a police action. The Nader Site you just linked to said that it's a "War" that the Congress never voted on. So if it's not a war, then it must be a police action, and the congress wouldn't have a say in the matter anyway. RIGHT?!

I guess it is ironic. But what would it say about our President if he was a habitual drug user and against the drug war? It wouldn't exactly fall in line with the "Traditional American Values" that I keep hearing about, now would it?

If you put it that way, then we don't know anything for sure. And besides, I was just poking some fun at the issue, I didn't mean as a direct criticism.

They should be impeached. I, nor the Nader website, ever said it was actually going to happen.

OMG IM SORRY!!!

You're right, the Nader site said it was a war that congress never voted on. But it's still a war. I never said it wasn't.

I wasn't demanding an apology. I was pointing something out that's been re-interated over and over again ad nauseum that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

It's a media war is what it is.

[Montgomery-Scott]

point 1: its funny how half the people resoponding to this thread didn't even read your post, they just reply with "O NOES!!! DONT KILL BUSH! HE R TEH AMAZGIN!!!" or "YAY KIL THAT FUCK!!!".

point 2: when Bush was going to Columbia, the columbian parliment had to pass a bill giving Bush immunity when within Columbian borders. They had to do this because hundreds of would be vigilantes were lining up at Columbian magistrates and asking for warrents to arrest Bush for violations of international law (invading iraq).

Love all the people who posted that want W killed. Great, you dont agree with him, fuckin get a petition goin for impeachment (not that anyone would give 2 fucks). I really cant believe that peoples parents brought up kids that think a President dying would be good. Even if Kucinich was ever elected (God forbid) I would still wish him his best and do what he thinks is best. Not want the fucker dead.
