Seriously, I keep seeing all these topics about BUSH. hating him and whining about the war so on and so fourth. Honestly Im confused? Im not saying Im 100% for BUSH but If I was president I dont think I would take lightly terroists blowing not only Americans but INNOCENT people well for no reason....likely. If I was president I wouldnt just sit there and tittle my thumbs. And also people whine about the war. Im brother has been in Iraq for almost two years and he is only 23. HE choose this life. He knew it would be possible he would go to war. He signed on the dotted line just like many Americans do!! Tell me...What was the president suppossed to do??? What would you do? You say anything but war. What alot of people DONT know is this sh_it has been going on FOR MANY YEARS before the war even started. George Senior and Clinton Tried to do something about it before? But what would or could you have done??

They hate him because the Democrats told them to hate him. And the Democrats are just bent cus theyve lost so much power and influence to the man.

Those who do nothing more than gripe, complain, and point fingers, need to put there money where their mouth is, and do something about what they disagree with.  But it is easier to just sit, type, and moan.  I say again, the President is privy to information that We are not, and He makes decisions based on that information.  So if anyone disagrees, run for His job, and do things differently, but then You might actually have to do something.\n\nMay God bless our fighting Men and Women today and always, and if it is His will, may He bring them home safe.\n\nGod Bless Our Troops, and the Innocent People caught up in the War.

Why do people think Bush is fighting for peace?\n\nThink about it. How can starting a war and killing over half a million people bring peace? You can't force peace with a machine gun.\n\nHow do people think democracy can work in a country divided by religious belief and under local control of armed warlords?\n\nIf your village is under the control of an armed militia, your democratic election vote is simple. Vote for the warlord running your community or be murdered along with your family.\n\nBush hasn't only ruined Iraq, Afghanistan and helped ruin Lebanon. He's also ruined world peace. Most of all he's ruined America's image, economy, military & security (perhaps Posse Comitatus, Bill of Rights & the rest of the Constitution too?)\n\nUPDATE - When you read comments like those from 'peaches' confusing Iraq with the people that carried out 9/11 & 7/7 and assuming every Iraqi death is that of a terrorist, you just feel scared. No Iraqi's danced on 9/11 - it was the Palestinians and the footage is disputed and thought to be propaganda. Some claim it's old footage & as the video of the celebrations was shot in bright sunlight but Palestine is 8 hours ahead of NY and was actually dark at the time, it must be fake.

Maybe I have a unique perspective from those that have posted so far considering that I am one of the "troops" and a veteran of the current conflict.  From my own viewpoint it is discouraging to hear all the anti-Bush/anti-war rhetoric--not because I support him/it personally, but because it belittles what we are doing over there.  Can you imagine what it would be like to be in a combat zone and know that your fellow citizens think that what you are doing is pointless, worthless, and/or "illegal"?  It is more than a little disheartening.\n\nAs for what I do: I correspond with a number of my fellow service members who are in Iraq and Afghanistan, I wear a Support Our Troops bracelet 24/7 to remind myself at all times of the sacrifices made by those in uniform, and I strive to educate those that I come in contact with about how not supporting the war that we are fighting hurts almost as much as being called "babykiller".

My husband was deployed to Iraq for a year leaving me with a 1 year old and missing the birth of his daughter.  My thoughts on the war, stop trying to take over other country's when you cant even take care of your own. ( as far as the president is concerned)

i love when ppl post quotes saying "yeah, well, your democrat buddies talked about the wmd's too!".\n\nthats right, they did. and then they found out that we were all lied to. so, when presented with new facts, they changed their minds about something, which is what reasonable ppl do. they dont just "stay the course" when they find out something they did/said was wrong. \n\ncheney is a giant douche, a walking pile of living garbage, a crooked business man, and a hypocrite. he's so old that he cant tell the difference between an 80 year old man and an oxygen deprived pigeon, and it causes him to shoot people in the face. for as long as i can remember, we've been made aware that Saddam is one of the bad guys.... then shouldnt any good american steer away from doing business with him? \n\nfunny, there are a lot of pictures of him shaking hands with saddam..... but, i guess oil can buy a nicer for you opinion any day.

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.

No your not wrong!!!!! How can you be wrong about wanting to live your life, instead of fighting in a war and possibly loosing your life or a limb for the reason that was untrue that Iraq had "WMD". American Soilders are loosing their lives for no reason and I can't blame you for not wanting to die for that reason. If I were a relative of someone in the Military....and that person was KIA ( killed in Action )I'd be very Angry at Bush!!!!

Bush is the absolute worst president in our countries current history. He has sent Americans (our chidren) to their death in a country that has not declared war on us. We are at war with hidden enemys who are not brave enough to come out of their holes to face us so we kill innocents to find them (most were saudis)So why are we there? (money,oil). Clinton might not have been a saint. But I'll bet theres a lot folks out there who have lied over some sin(cast the first stone,live in glass houses comes to mind.) I've never heard of a blow-job killing anyone,nor is it my business That should have stayed in their marriage, not the countries how can a wife forgive her husband and the country not? War kills my children your children. YOUR FAMILY is the one who feels the pain from this furtile war. Not from clintons lack of discretion (do you think he was the first? Think Kennedy)Clintons bj never got anyone killed. Bushes war has.

Does ANYBODY notice that no matter WHAT a president does, the general public has a problem with it?  Bush is cleaning up the mess that Clinton started.  War with Iraq was imminent, meaning going to happen anyway.  Clinton, not having ANY military experience (He dodged the draft by going to Europe), wanted to stay away from war.  As far as the Katrina victims, they were told a week in advance to leave, that a Cat 5 hurricane would flood a city BUILT BELOW SEA LEVEL. Those who didn't leave are morons.  They got what they were stubborn enough to deserve.  Then they cry for help and shoot at the help?  I'm sorry, but a tv and nikes are not going to feed your family.  I feel he is doing all that ONE MAN can do.  You think all you complaining about everything is helping or making it easier?  1000 people died in Iraq...  In how long?  How long does it take 1000 people to die in America?  No one complains about that, now do they?

I think you'd call him (Bush!) a "terrorist"!!! I think he should be impeached. This whole ambiguous war was wrong from the start.  How do you stop people from hating you by waging war against them?  What do you get when you fight fire with fire, except MORE FIRE? \nI think we should SEND BUSH TO IRAQ- and he should stay there himself until he thinks the war "should end".  (Bet it would be over by tomorrow!)\n\n                                    -Tera\n                                    (time4u420@yahoo)

I fought in one war where we cut & ran & we have been running ever since.  We ran from Somila, we ran from Saudia Arabia, now we are running from Iraq. When do we stop running?Do we stop only when all our troops are home. Then what do we do as the peace-nic want, never leave america just defend these shores?" GW may not have done everything right in this war but at least he tried to fight terrism. Clinton sure didnt. He told our enemies when we were going to bomb them. The bleeding  hearts want rights for people who are trying to kill us.. Gw has made mistakes the biggest is listening to those who have not been in combat & know how to fight. Why give our men & wemen a job that they are not allowed to do. I think what he has to work with he has done well

This latest issue with Bush approving the turning over of control of our major ports to an Arab country is more proof that this president is clueless on how to keep America strong and safe.  While I very much approved of his appointments to the Supreme Court, over all I can think of no other president that has single handedly done more to destroy this country.  You want me to list a few topics? The economy, 8 trillion dept & counting, the enviornment & global warming, human rights-torture, our border crisis, the non-response to the Katrina disaster due to appointing one of his cronies as Fema director, creating a war that looks to have no end  while abandoning the legitamate one in Afghanistan, sending our troops, the best & bravest in the world, into battle without enough numbers or equipment and no clear objective... I could go on and on... anybody else?

Generally, there seems to be more Bush-bashing than Bush-loving on here. In any case, ignorance is pervasive as I see so many questions like "Why is Bush a moron?" or "Why are liberals so dumb?". Grow up!

Bush is concerned about the American people...in terms of what they think of him. Of course, since he has no chance in hell of re-election (amendment limiting the number of terms a president can serve to two), he might as well get real and stop trying to bs us with his sucky speeches and vague promises. Pretty much, I think he is trying to finish out this term without getting assassinated - that seems to be his goal. Also, he must perform well because all the eyes of the world are on him.

Maybe...I heard W on the radio this morning saying that the choice between republicans and democrats was the choice between fighting terrorists or giving up (letting them win)! Does anyone (even hard-core republicans) really believe that any American would just give up the fight against terrorists?\n\nIs anyone STUPID enough to fall for this nonsense? I understand the whole lowering taxes, anti-abortion, anti-gay message (although I don't agree with it), but come on. \n\nIf this war in Iraq was diminishing world terrorism, even slightly, maybe Americans would be behind it. Recent reports show that the Iraq war is actually encouraging more terrorism!\n\nW said that democrats view the war in Iraq as a distraction but the republicans know that the war is the front against terrorists. So since the democrats want to leave Iraq, they're against fighting terrorists! What flawed logic. I miss having an intelligent, articulate president who didn't embarrass me. I'd MUCH rather have John McCain (whose views I don't share) than W who I don't agree with but also makes Americans look like idiots to the rest of the world.

Beleive in Bush? What is it, a new religion? Are you a freaking idiot, or what? I am guessing the former, and not the latter. I am not planning on arguing politics with someone that can't see past their mamma's teet, but this is the way it is - No one care about Islam because of what the idiots believe. If you haven't been downrange, if you haven't met the Iraqis and spent time with them, then you don't have a right to draw an oppionion. For all of you losers, that hide behind your F-'in computer screen talking about how this is all Bush's fault, and how American soldiers are 'killing innocent people', get off your fat lazy rears and go do what our soldiers are doing. Lazy disgraceful bums! No wonder Iraqis hate us so much. Who wouldn't hate a nation of disgusting fat, slobby people that think what they are TOLD to think, without actually know what the hell they are talking about!!! You are a bunch of disgusting, dispictable, lazy, arrogant mamma's boys! GET A FREAKING LIFE, LOSERRRRRSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
