Andy Rooney Attacks George Bush While Ground Zero Still Smoldering

[waitew]

Rooney didn't do his homework. We invaded Afghanistan to build a pipeline across it & to use as a base of operations against a soon coming invasion of Iran (right BETWEEN Iraq & Afghanistan..chess board move). The wars have nothing to do with Terrorism or keeping us free they are of oil,which people wont fight for hence the need for False Flag attacks against our own people (911) because Revenge is a good motivator,but oil isn't. What would the defense budget be like today without 911?

@waitew You do realize that what you said is absolutely ridiculous? I hope you really don't believe that! I'm just glad you can only find people like you on Youtube and not in the real world! If you spewed your nonsense in a college classroom up against rational thinking people you would be laughed off campus! Good luck with your delusions!

[waitew]

@jeffkrofd Rational thinking people know I'm correct.It's people like you with a child like faith in a 'good' America that never ever does anything wrong who they laugh at. If you believe we invaded the Middle East & it had nothing to do with control of oil,that's not rational. Or that it's possible to maintain a huge military,CIA,FBI Etc without the people believing there's a huge enemy that poses a huge threat that makes it necessary,that's not rational. You need to think more.

@jeffkrofd

actually, waitew is totally right. you're the one who's wrong and very brainwashed.

[Hoboinaboxdestroyer]

Fucking genius.

[BansheeMilk]

A gifted commentator. I played him in 2 Comedy sketches. Some felt I was disrespectful but I was actually celebrating his wonderful, cranky persona (which must be exaggerated when you are doing comedy). He will be missed.

Rooney was the first person in the mainstream broadcast media to actually criticize Bush's wrongheaded response to 911. Notice how clearheaded his presentation, hos substantive his argument is, the large number of facts about Afghanistan that you learn in just a few minutes.

[delphicwon]

Well he certainly had a point then and now 10 years later.

One of the greatest from the "Greatest Generation". Go in piece old friend

The teachings of Buddhism are an anti religion.

[schizoidchimp]

@batfly doesn't matter what you call it in this context, the taliban destroyed the statues because they're intolerant of other religions and religious imagery in general.

[batfly]

@schizoidchimp

Yeah I understand... Buddhism, Zen, Taoism and Confucianism. It's important to note that these schools of thought were never intended to become religions.

They are eastern mystic philosophies and spiritual practices for individuals. Anybody that promotes these as religions is perverting them for questionable motivations.

[schizoidchimp]

@batfly it's not important when Andy Rooney only brings up the bombing of the buddhas when talking about Taliban's religious intolerance.

When Bush entered office he looked like a kid. When he left he looked like Andy Rooney.

[fromthescriptorum]

What a moron...I meant Bush. Rooney was prescient on this. I think the fact that the comment about strangling someone received the highest rating says all that must be said about the intelligence on display here.

[forqs1223]

He was one of few that got it right ...right from the start...no one listened

[UNJUSTIFICATION1]

he must be one of the smartest Americans among us..

[sickofcommies]

This guy might be an even bigger whiner than A.Weiner.

[teloscaylos]

Andy Rooney is Harlan Ellison, but without the smarts or talent.
