......does anyone else agree that this war could have been planned better?Technically there was no real reason for the war it wasn't for the country , it was for his personal interest.The only way he got re-elected was because of his brother (no details,L.O.L) I disagree with our presidents decisions , don't you?Feel free to wtite a list of all the things he did wrong and his scandals.

Ughh!! I hate him, I hate anyone who likes him. Actually I wonder what people who like him think, do they LOVE paying that 5 dollars per gallon for gas? most of the people that like him are rich democrats and the middle and lower class are getting screwed around. I don't think he is going to make it another three years, impeached shot, or he will resign. Personally if it keeps up, I think the lower class will be non-existent and the middle class will be the lower class \n\nI agree that the war was just for his interest, which is NO WAY to start a war, if we went after every dictator/tyrant who hated America, we'd be there for ages.

I guess the answer is that he was never elected. More or less, they needed a leader, and he stepped up to the plate. I don't even know if they asked him to do it....but i think they did. But there wasn't yet an election protocol set up yet, so that's not really a reason why he shouldn't. He even retired for a while and then came back when they needed someone to help in the war. But he wasn't really "re-elected". In general he was more or less an elected leader, not a president. Someone with the balls to be in charge.

Honestly, Bush knows about pretty much everything going on. Now, does he act accordingly to what goes on? No. Why? Well that's the multi-billion dollar question, er, wait, multi-billion dollar war budget he made. Why focus so much time and effort on a country hundreds of miles away when your own country isn't too well off? We have people protesting soldier funerals for gods sake. WTF. And he knows about everything going on, but doesnt know what to do. So how does he react? "Well the war is going good". Honestly, f*ck Bush. He's the worst mistake in the history of the United States.

He's obviously not too bright if he couldn't forsee the disaster in his words before he spoke them. At the very least, he should have recognized their "double meaning". Although I think it is more than a stretch to imply his words were intended ONLY FOR THE PRESIDENT!?!?!\n\nAnyone in his position for as long as he has been in politics... There is no excuse for an error of this magnitude especially on the eve of elections. \n\nI can't help but think now and again that there is something else going on here, more to it. Regardless, I can't stand the man.

It is just another move in a long line of them that highlights Bush's penchant for self-righteousness.  To him, it matters not that the majority of the American people don't approve of him, his tactics, or his job performance.  Right after the mid-terms he was all welcoming and talking about working together with the Democrats.  I hoped for once he was being forthright and truthful, but lately I've realized that a leopard really doesn't change its spots.  The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior and there you have it.  For the next two years it's going to be a battle in Washington D.C.  I was stunned by his declaration that civil war is not happening in Iraq.  That man has the worst case of tunnel vision I have ever seen in a President.  It's a sure sign of egomania when someone is unable to ever admit they are wrong about anything.  Honestly, this man is the worst President I have ever witnessed in office, and I've been alive long enough to remember Nixon like it was yesterday.

I disagree with knowsigns... that was one mistake clinton made, but what about the mistakes Buh has made? I'm a New Yorker and was deeply affected by the 9/11 tragedy. What did Bush do about that tragedy? Invade the privacy of millions of Americans  right? What should he have done? If you read Time magazine you would've read a punchline about how some director is making a movie about the search for osama bin laden, it's 300 hours long with no ending. That is precisely the kind of search President Bush led. I am oly 12 and you cannot guess how strong the deep contempt for the failed capture of Osama Bin Laden is. During that search he went off into Iraq, called it operation Iraqi Liberation, or: O.I.L. What did he want? the destroyer of America in jail, or oil? He didn't even need oil then. I know what people will say that he didn't do it for oil, but how sure can you be? My theory about why he changed Operation Iraqi Liberation's name was because OPEC told him you can't have our oil. He didn't want to look stupid that's why he changed the name! In my point of view Bush is the worst president we possibly could have at times like this when theres a war being waged in Iraq!! I'm only 12 years old and i feel this way, call me an anger bomb just waiting to explode, but i would say some very "colorful" things about our dear president if i didn't have faith in the Americans that trusted him.

You pretty much said it all... if he would have gotten rid of Rumsfeld, and never ever gone into Iraq without finishing in Afghanistan first.. well, maybe there would be some left who believed in him.  But he is a stubborn spoiled child and he brought that to the Whitehouse.. I AM THE DECIDER, I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHATS GOOD FOR AMERICA AND YOU WILL ALL DAMN WELL DO AS I SAY..'CAUSE I'M THE PRESIDENT.. maybe one of these days he will learn he is not God.

I think 2 shorter terms of 3 years would be wiser.  The present president is clearly a madman - I know the entire country can't be held responsible for his actions (as well as lack of actions in times of crises), but I just cannot comprehend how this could have happened!

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. What IS your point???\n \nI have been disgusted with many people in our country lately. It deeply saddens me how our country has so divided itself by way of rumors, party bickering, and accusations of all sorts about world affairs. It is just best to listen to President Bush very carefully and listen so well that you are not judging him as he talks. He is a strong leader with an immense global crisis, but not because of his own doing. If we had never invaded Iraq, do you really think that America would be free of hostile global politics. Do you think if we had a different, maybe Democratic president the past 4 years, that terrorists would just be hanging out in the Middle East playing cowboy and Indian in their little harmless terrorist training camps?

I think that Bush cost us (republicans) the election. I think that people were voting against bush rather than for a canidate. THAT worries me. I am one of those people that, even though I am a republican at heart, I feel regardless of party affiliation, it should be whoever's best for the job. And I don't necessarily know if those voted WERE best. I just hope those elected PROVE to the country that the voters didn't make a mistake.

Republican, voted for him twice, but I should say I voted against Gore and Kerry more then I voted for GW.  I actually voted for McCain in the California primary in 2000 because I was never a GW fan....that said I still have no regrets.  To think for a moment Kerry or Gore could have done anything better is pretty darn silly.  Sure we could have "avoided" going to war in Iraq like BJ Clinton did for 8 years but eventually it was going to happen.  Once we kicked al queda out of Afghanistan where do you think they went?  By the way Al-Zakari (al queda leader) was in Iraq before we we're (read the NY Times - said so today).

dude hes an idiot...the only way that he got into the office was by illegaly tapping all of our phones  and emails and seeing what America needed..lol, jk...he still almost screwed it up...but really he is just plain dumb...i am willing to debate anyone on this topic but for now i'll leave a link that will re-enforce my point http://www.costofwar.com just explore it, check it out

I'm on the fence about this. I think it was ploted by this administration to insight patriotism in the peaople and as incentive for war. Somewhat like what was done in the 70's. But was it Bush's idea? No he isn't smart enough. It had to be someone higher up like his father or the Freemasons. I know I may sound crazy but its just my opinion. \n\nHey I might be wrong and Bush is probably the best president we've had in years. \n*bursts out laughing*

abso-fukkin-lutely not!!!  i am not a democrat, but did vote for Kerry because he was (as we already know) the far better choice. so if Kerry had been elected and had fukked up as many things as bush -- well, let's be fair, it is mostly cheney and rove and rumsfeld and others around bush, then i ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE TURNED ON HIM. I would be asking for his impeachment just as i am asking for the Team B impeachment now.

Thanks for the special mention of me in the question.  Katrina wasnt bush's fault.  Last time I check he didnt have power over the weather.  If he does, I could have done without the snow last week.  I dont see anyone going on and on about the appointment of Robert Kennedy to attorney general.  Mistakes are made.  However one should also keep in mind that the Mayor and Governor were both Democrats and both failed to call in the national guard.  As for his "faith based" decisions, pehaps we give him our support because the majority of U.S. citizens believe in those decisions.  Most of us arent in favor of the abomination known as gay marriage and many oppose the systimatic murder of unborn children by claiming its a constitutional right.  All one needs to do is look at a map of the 2004 Presidental election and the fact that many states passed marriage laws and/or amendments in that election to see how the majority of us feel.

Wouldn`t you of loved to be a fly on the wall at the Bush house last night? HA HA HA .CHECK- MATE REPUBLICANS. I hope Bush knows how people think about him now cuz he lost the votes for his party last night.It didn`t matter who they were or what they stood for they were doomed because of Bush`s AROGANCE. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN !!! and this time our votes counted unlike the presidential elections.

He was lying, he admitted as much himself, end of story. What, are they going to say he was lying about lying, so that at least he told the truth twice? (LOL) Now, let's hope his previous statement (about Rummy staying until the end of his presidency) proves to be prophetic, and we can get rid of Bush, as well.
