Die TV-Ansprache von US-Präsident Bush im Wortlaut
US-Präsident George W. Bush hat in einer überraschend einberufenen Fernsehansprache vor dramatischen Konsequenzen in der schwelenden Finanzkrise gewarnt. Falls sich Kongress und Regierung nicht "so schnell wie möglich" auf das vorgeschlagene 700 Milliarden Dollar schwere Rettungspaket einigen könnten, drohe eine Rezession mit kaum absehbaren Folgen. Die Dokumentation seiner Rede im Original."Good evening. In the life of all imperialistic military empires, there come brief, fleeting moments that decide the direction of a multinational corporation masquerading as a democratic nation, and reveal the character of its blue-blooded aristocrats, conniving religious hucksters and corrupt, back-slapping robber barons. We have now been suspended in such a moment for over six calendar years.
We are tasked, those of us who vote, are intimidated into not voting, vote more than once at a time, or more importantly, have substantial stock holdings, to chose between triumphant, noble victory in Iraq or disastrous, humiliating defeat. Luckily, everything in life is just so black and white. Either you're for a peaceful Middle Eastern paradise fantasy conceived in an absurd bubble of historical revisionism and ignorance of human nature, or you're personally responsible for the bloody murder of all them Iraqazoids that will happen if Uncle Sam cuts and runs. And many will die, much the way hundreds of thousands of them have been dying since their liberation in 2003 from a dictator's deadly chokehold and into the deadly chokehold of a sham, democratically-elected, Shia-mob ruled government.
