After forgetting his script for the first 5 minutes, Bush essentially said:

"Iraq has now the best medical system it ever had."
(used to be only 16 million per year/less than 1$ per citizen)

Inferred from me:
people are logically not directly paying for the help received
(cuz they don't have any american money!-or at least not enough)

Should be inferred by all:
Iraqi citizens, at least to Bush's eyes, deserve free healthcare funded by U.S. taxpayers (all we know is that its much more than 16 million$US), while people at home that can't afford health care can suck on it.

Most likely because iraqi's have oil rigs in their backyards.

"We have a coalition of over 60 countries... that is helping rebuild Iraq"

Too bad he, as well as I, can't name one other than the Brits, that have any significant impact.

(That's right, I unfortunatetly do not count countries like Rwanda and Burundi as really helping anything)

Prisme

P.S.
Keep in mind he publicaly announced that all countries not supporting the war were not going to be allowed to get contracts to reconstruct Iraq.


P.P.S
Just heard another idiotic link to 9/11 with Iraq. Uh!

"Iraq has now the best medical system it ever had."

of course that´s not true

This is why the President's news conferences are few and far between: His muddled perspective is evident in any unscripted public encounter.

Mr.Bush Iraq had some the best social programs in the 70's and 80's in the entire Arab world. But I guess looted hospitals, chronically under funded ones, and those that are bombed are indeed better. And Primse don't you know? Palau has a excellent construction corporation... Bullshit inc. :rolleyes:

Since he was not president then, what exactly did Bush have to do with Iraq's social programs? Social programs do not necessarily equate medical care.

LOL! ok then... I guess to a militarist like you, a good social program is $400 billion for guns and ammo.

Again, what did Bush have to do with Iraqi social/medical programs at all either during the times you mentioned or after?

NOTHING! All I am saying is that Iraq had better functioning health, and other social programs at those times. OH NO! I forgot a comma! Mr.Bush,Iraq....:eek: KILL ME!

"Iraq has now the best medical system it ever had."


lol

If that was so, Iraq would be the best in the world, not the best in the country. Iraq used to have the best education and best free public health care in the world.

I'm not arguing whether or not Bush's statement is true, but if Iraq did indeed have the best education and free healthcare in the world at one point in history, it doesn't mean it can't have a better medical system now.

If the bar has been raised since Iraq had the best healthcare, it is possible for it to have better healthcare now than it did when it had the best in the world, and still not have the best healthcare in the world right now.

That makes sense, right? :bugeye:
