Watch the news; Every time Bush opens his mouth his words are repeated verbatum the next day by Stephen Harper. Just replace the word "Iraq" with "Afghanistan".

Not quite a puppet but maybe a mini me, remember though Canada has virtually no military and not enough money to go and start a war like bush

The truth is sometimes ugly & painful, eh, libs?  Not one intelligent rebuttle from any libs.  Emotions will never win over logic ( that's why Captian Kirk had Spock!)  For all the liberals with amnesia - During the 2004 Presidential State of the Union speech - I clearly remember Bush stating that Iraq, Iran & North Korea were the axis of evil and that countries that harbor terrorist would beheld accountable.  Have we forgotten that specch libs?

I would love to see positive politics. No more mud slinging. I am sick and tired of each party tieing the others hands with lies. Our soldiers are dieing to secure the future of our freedom, not so our politicians have the right to struggle for power by lamb basting each other with lies and exagerations of truths. Makes me sick. The media is also sickening in that respect. I don't know which is worse. Always worrying about what so called "story" will sell more news papers or how much they're commercial air time is worth. This countries media and political power sruggle is killing our brave soldiers by proscrastinating any real action while they struggle over who makes the decisions. Lets return to the days post 9/11 when we were one people and get the job done to save lives.

Yes! How can anybody stand behind this liar? It is WRONG to invade countries based on this idiot's whim and to make up lies to sell the war to the American people. He and the people who use him as their puppet have to be held accountable for this mess.

HAHA...that is pretty good\n\nHeres a couple for ya...\n\nMullah Mohammed Hasan Akhund, the deputy Taliban leader, and George W. Bush agree to meet in Kabul for the first round of talks in a new anti-terrorism process. When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the arm of Akhund's chair. They begin talking. \n\nAfter about five minutes Akhund presses the first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Bush in the face. Annoyed, Bush carries on talking as Akhund laughs. A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Akhund laughs, and again George carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries. But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush square in the privates, he's finally had enough. \n\n"I'm headin' back home!" he calmly tells the Afghan. "We'll finish these talks in Washington in two weeks!" \n\nA fortnight passes and Akhund flies to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Akhund notices three buttons on Bush's chair arm and prepares himself for the Texan's retaliation. They begin talking and George presses the first button. Akhund ducks, but nothing happens. George snickers but they continue talking. A few minutes later he presses the second button. Akhund jumps up, but again nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. They continue the talks but when the third button is pressed, Akhund jumps up again, but again nothing happens. \n\nBush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics. "Forget this," says Akhund. "I'm going back to Afghanistan!" George W. says, through tears of laughter, "What Afghanistan?" \n\n____________________________________________________\n\nQ: How do you play Taliban bingo?\nA: B-52...F-16...B-1...

it always amazes me that out of over 250 million plus people in the US, they could only come up with Bush.  Someone gets elected leader of a party and you are stuck.  No decent choices to be made.  We have the same problem here in Canada.

ARE you crazy or just plain dumb? What an idiotic thing to say. \n\nEven the Bush admin has given up on Iraq and Afghanistan as being free. So what was that F___ war for anyway!!\n\nWhat we should do is mind our own business!!\n\nThe ONLY superpower? China could probably kick our butts, especially right now, that is if you don't care whether anyone survives!

heartwarming stories from home are hardly ever in the news, You might as well hang it up that a liberal media outlet will report anything positive from Iraq. That would go against their anti-bush anti-war agenda. Notice the almost non-existent coverage of the sarin and mustard gas that was discovered in Iraq? anyone who reported it implied that since it was expired it was safer than johnson's baby shampoo and doesn't count as WMD's.

One really powerful primary source about Iraq and Afghanistan is the Sandbox blog on the Doonesbury website.  Every day there are a couple posts by soldiers involved over there.  There is a range of content, but it gives you the sense that there really are good people working hard to improve the lives of Iraqis even though there is also a lot of disastrous stuff happening.  It might open their eyes a little.  I think they'll find glimpses of the good side there, regardless of their politics.

Let's face it. We started off in Afghanistan purportedly to find Osama. But the real target was Iraq, Saddam and oil. Most of us don't even know how many US troops were killed in Afghanistan and the media doesn't keep us apprised. All eyes are on Iraq. Afghanistan was just a ruse to an even bigger prize, which prize has become a field of carrion, rather than barrels of free oil.

I'm right there with you!  I heard a report that many times when our troops come home from Iraq, they are surprised and disgusted by what they here on the mainstream news.  All they report is what's going bad, and the troops know first hand what good they have done over there.

Events in Iraq and Afghanistan are out of control and history tells us military efforts in both places are doomed to failure. Now for some reason we Canadians have sent troops to Afghanistan.I understand that sometime in the next year it is expected the Canadian troops will take on the full responsibility for the chaos in Afghanistan in order to free up the American troops for Iraq. What does this mean? More dead Americans, more dead Canadians, more dead Iraqis and Afghan civilians. Billions of American/Canadian dollars spent on a war effort which like Vietnam and even Korea was entered into with no viable exit strategy. Millions more dollars in structural and infrastructural damage to countries that can least afford it. And for what? 50 years later Korea is still divided and North Korea is a ticking nuclear time bomb.40 years later Vietnam has fallen under Communist rule. 5 years later there is no end in site for the war in Iraq and the people there are worse off than when Saddam was the leader. And George W. hasn't even started on North Korea or Iran yet. Yikes,where does this madness end?

I have been reading your questions on ask the planet as they come along during the day. You are really passionate about these issuse. I saw the report and I must say I see your point. Its like that movie, Vendetta with natalie portman. Did you watch it. Its very similar to what is happening right now. One person's terrorists is another person's hero. Im never quick to believe everything that is broadcasted from the American media. They are more about propoganda than truth. What can we do. American said they prefer Bush by voting him back in power. And he has successfully managed to manipulate you through the media. What the rest of the world is still asking... Where are the weapons of mass destruction?

I agree. The media spends no time at all on the truth of what's happening in Iraq.\n\nWrite to your congress-critters and tell them to start backing the president pronto.
