    I remember this meme!

    I’ve kept an eye out for an opportunity to work a Brazilian Number Pun into a conversation ever since, to no avail.

    “In 2002, I went to visit Bush and he came with a 40-minute lecture telling me how important it was to end terrorism. He called on Brazil to take part in what he called an extraordinary fight to end terrorism by invading Iraq. I simply said to him: I don’t know Saddam Hussein,” he said.

    According to Lula, during the conversation he said that Iraq was a long way from Brazil and he was already facing another war. “I had another war: hunger. In my country, hunger affected 54 million people. And I was going to win that war,” he added.

    Bush seemed to have enjoyed a good relation with Lula weirdly enough. He was always calling him to help in diplomacy with Iran, Cuba or Venezuela. Obama tried to do the same thing but Hillary Clinton did everything possible to sabotage the Lula’s Iran nuclear deal.

            he was actually a bloodthirsty ghoul and son of a CIA director who put on a fake folksy accent in order to win over dumb football chuds and then proceeded to plunge america into an incredibly profitable war. And then liberal bozos pretended he was just this dumb folksy yokel being manipulated by darth cheney and not born for this shit.

      Hard disagree. Bush supporters were always cringe and the jokes about them were way more hilarious and creative than the post-2016 ones about Trump. Bush Shootout and Legos 9-11 fucking rocked. Michael Moore was my introduction to anti-imperialism, and to my knowledge, he still has good takes on foreign policy.

        The image of Bush in front of the mission accomplished banner still cracks me up to this day.

        You were just a lib and so have nostalgic feelings for it. I was an anti-capitalist watching liberals water down the anti-globalization movement and the post-9/11 anti-war movement. They took over what had potential to be radical movements and made everything shallow and awful.
