United Church of Bushism... I can see it coming
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (CNN) -- U.S. President George W. Bush expressed frustration Monday at attempts to get U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan to do more to end the conflict in Lebanon.
In the conversation, Bush also says he plans to send U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the Middle East.
During a photo opportunity where there was an open microphone, Bush was heard expressing his frustration to British Prime Minister Tony Blair using an expletive.
Bush and Blair were aware that the event was a photo opportunity and that the media was present. Blair later turned off the microphone.
Earlier in the day, Blair and Annan called for the deployment of an international force in southern Lebanon, in order to end the spiraling conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
The text of their conversation is as follows:
Bush: What about Kofi Annan? I don't like the sequence of it. His attitude is basically cease-fire and everything else happens.
Blair: I think the thing that is really difficult is you can't stop this unless you get this international presence agreed.
Bush: She's going. I think Condi's (U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice) going to go pretty soon.
Blair: Well that's all that matters. If you see, it will take some time to get out of there. But at least it gives people....
Bush: It's a process I agree. I told her your offer too.
Blair: Well it's only or if she's gonna or if she needs the ground prepared as it were. See, if she goes out she's got to succeed as it were, where as I can just go out and talk.
Bush: See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over.
Blair: Cause I think this is all part of the same thing. What does he think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out fine, if he gets a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the right way, he's done it. That's what this whole things about. It's the same with Iran.
Bush: I feel like telling Kofi to get on the phone with Assad and make something happen. We're not blaming Israel and we're not blaming the Lebanese government.

From Tom to Tom?
Tom Posted:
There are only linguistically based perspectives.
Knowledge is shaped by language.
To interpret a thing is to become a master of it.
Concepts are only possible when they are words.
There is no direct experience of reality possible.
Knowledge is social.
Ok, so according to these statements, when we combine it to one:
Language defines our perception and extent of reality; which in turn sets a boundary at which each individual is at the apex of all knowledge (at least that of which he or she knows).
In other words: my brain is limited by language, but since what I know is all of what I know (since one is oblivious of what he/she doesn't know, if and only if he/she doesn't acknowledge existence out of known boundary), and if I know everything of what I do know, then I am an expert of my own brain. This makes me right and everything else wrong, at least in my mind. I am only wrong only if I decide that there is something else that is more correct than my beleif of truth or perception/status of a specific subject or object. And when I decide to beleive that this outside statement is more correct, or is a better perception than my own, I make this new beleif part of my truth. Thus language sets boundaries to what we can learn, yet if we have open minds to new lessons, we can obtain new or different perspectives of subjects/objects.
So I suppose my conclusion to this is: "The mind is a powerful tool, don't let it take control of you. Have an open mind to surpass boundaries set by yourself and others"
