Watching the Bush speak at the UN today (Tuesday)-while hoping his speech wouldn't pre-empt "All My Children." I know what's important-I was struck by its utter emptiness. It's always striking how many words he uses to say almost nothing. Here's what Robert Parry had to say on Consortiumnews:
"Bush framed his Sept. 19 speech in the context of the U.N.Â’s 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 'The words of the Universal Declaration are as true today as they were when they were written,' Bush declared."
"But it’s hard to believe that Bush had the faintest idea what principles he was embracing – or perhaps he has grown so self-confident in never being challenged on his hypocrisies that he believes he can say anything he wants, no matter how false or deceptive."
It was also amazing to watch how adoringly the Condesleeza sat there looking up at him.
