Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 ROBIN WILLIAMS BLASTS BUSH Funnyman Robin Williams has launched a scathing attack on President George W. Bush and his decision to go ahead with war on Iraq. The "One Hour Photo" actor also criticizes what he sees as his country's mixed messages when it comes to national security. He says, "America is broke, basically, but Bush wants to wage a war that costs pretty much a billion dollars a month. "We have a president for whom English is a second language. He's like 'We have to get rid of dictators,' but he's pretty much one himself. "In America, we have orange alert, but what the hell does that mean? We're supposed to be afraid of Krishna? Of orange sorbet? Then it's like, 'You can't go out and shop, it's too dangerous out there,' but if that happens then the economy falls. "The message is so mixed: 'Be afraid, but not too afraid.'"

theist Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Well he mentioned Krsna at least. Other than that he seems more worried about the cost then the people who have been suffering in Iraq for the last several decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Hard to tell what Robin Williams really thinks of Krishna. Agree he seems to be speaking more about $ than people, but he may not have said all that is on his mind. Am glad he at least openly pointed out Bush is a dictator. We hate to admit such a thing could happen to us, but like the rest of the world, we finally have a dictator. Just one who hides it better.
