If the Bush family believes so much in this war, why are his girls not over there fighting along with others.?

BECAUSE RANK HAS ITS PRIVLEDGES  Bush Himself shirked his milatary resonsibilitiess just look at his records Hell he was't even able to fufill his week-end warrior obligations. If Daddy won't live up to his obligatons Why would his daughters go fight a war?

Because we voted in a weak man into a powerful position. When you think President of the United Sates you think of an classy educated well spoken fearless leader who leads the people by example. Bush would not put himself or his same class family members into a war situation but will gladly send hundreds of thousands of men, women and young adults into. 18 year old kids are returning home seriously injured, hurt and dead both emotionally and physically. Their families changed forever and lives altered for eternity.

Yes, it would appear that most immediate family do support both wars. If you were to watch unbiased coverage on television, you would get this impression from family members interviewed as well as audience responses where they are in the audience. Most parents of soldier killed in action believe if we don't pursue the war to it proper resolution--a self-sufficient Iraq--the lives of their sons would have been lost in vain. As a tribute to the fallen, they believe the war should be continued until it is won honorably by us. I'm not an authority on the subject but I do listen a lot as I'm a "news junkie" and a reporter once-upon-a-time.

I agree 100% with you on this one!!!! There are 20,000 troops in that region, and I have several friends with whom I served with in the past in that region. From e-mail contacts my friends are saying that everything is "hush-hush"!!!! It is the media that has the "lose lips" with bogus reporting, and to win this war against terror most battles need to be kept in the dark!!!

Unfortunately, life is unfair.  In a just world, they would or he would.  If you did lose relatives, I am so sorry.  People on here are certainly being mean to you..and to tell you to leave.  It's your country as much as theirs and if a person loves their country, they speak up when it is doing wrong.  \n\nA friend of mine in military families speak out, whose son recently returned home, said he told her that the majority of the troops disagree with the war and want to come home but that most are afraid to speak out.\n\nAnd to those mentioning freedom, if you were an Iraq parent and our depleted uranium weapons did this to your child, would you care about freedom or want to turn back the clock?\n\nCaution --very graphic and disturbing\n\n\nadults only\n\nhttp://www.xs4all.nl/~stgvisie/VISIE/extremedeformities.html\n\nhttp://www.rense.com/general70/deathmde.htm\n\nhttp://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=BUL20060122&articleId=1777\n\nIf all your food and water was unfit to drink for 4 1/2 billion year, would you be better off with freedom that Bush claims he's giving you?\n\nIf your country had the equivilent of 1/4 million Nagasaki bombs dropped on it with its soaring deaths, gulf war type syndromes, skyrocketing cancer, and horrific growing birth defects till the end of time, would you be glad for this democracy you get as a consulation prize?\n\nIt is these troops Bush proports to support so much that will suffer from the poisoning of depleted uranium and the wives that wait for them who will get sick and the children they long for. \n\n This is a crime against humanity never before seen...if we don't stop the use of du weapons eventually all human DNA will be ruined...he should be tried for his terrorism and crimes against humanity and history will show what he has done...my sympathy to you and your family.

Iraqis are killing each other.  The only thing President Bush is guilty of is trying to keep us safe on our own soil.  All is fair in love and war.  It's a war and I should know---my husband is deployed there.

bush is a dumbass. and jus wants to keep peopl patriotic. if there was no war then all the presure would be on him. so he has to stay in war. but it is a lost cause. and has ben from the begining

Hell No !!  I am not satisfied with the number of deaths since the war began. I think of them as people with loved ones, and lives cut off fighting over GOP greed, and need for power. It is a tragedy. Our country has not done justice for it's Veteran's, or their families. This is a senseless war. Every life counts. Bush should sober us his daughters and send them, and Cheney's daughter should strap on an m-16.  If people really support this obscene war...they should send their kids.

well as the gf of an Air Force man who has been overseas 6 times since Sept. 11th I still support this war and our men over there. We have never known what those poor men and women who were under the rule of a man who at anytime and for any reason will have you shot and killed or beat almost to death just to prove a point. That kind of hell needs to be stopped. And yes anyone that is over there will agree that they know why they are there and they dont want to leave those poor people over there to just let someone else just like the one we got out back into office so that we have to go back again in a few years.

I am totally against the war, however, people who join our military go in knowing that even if it's not necessarily a war they would back, they have comitted to doing their job.  I might also say that no matter what war or why - they have my absolute respect for being a part of a bigger picture that may cause them great harm or even death.  I salute all of them.  Bush, however, can kiss my flabbly butt.

As of 3/16/06 one can only guess,but I think it will never happen , number one. those people over there have been fighting with each other for years and have no idea how to get along with each other. Number 2. Things over there is not getting any better and civil war is knocking at the back door.Our young men and women are fighting a lost battle ,if by the Grace of God we do get out of there within the next 10 years they we be right back where they were when we invaded. And as far as the Administration, I think we should send a few of them over there or perhaps their family members.And to the young writers who thing the war is over...perhaps you would like to talk to some of the honest hard working young men and women over there...I know because I have a nephew ,brother and friends over there fighting everyday. Along with that, I have a son who got back last year from being blowed up, so why didn't anyone tell him the war was over!!!! Wake up people, if you think it's over I heard that the military is in need of men and women to pick daisy in Iraq.

LOL!! NO, they're all liberal drunks.  There are, however, plenty left in the Bush family!
797882
Yeah, and why do they wish to stay there to finish their mission so that more Iraq children can be safe?  If they just up and leave, there will be no hope for those children.  I pity the closed-minded people who think that it is our soldiers who are rampantly killing those children and adults.

Yup.  See how many wars we would get into if the rich kids had to go.  With the Bush daughters leading the way.

Because Bush's family is in cahoots with the middle east oil companies.  Their getting rich off of this.  You didn't know.  I thought everyone knew.

His IQ is that high?  Amazing how its the cowards like Bush who ask other people's children, husbands, fathers, wives, and daughters to die in a war he wouldn't fight in if he were young enough to serve.  Those who risk (or risked) their lives because of the actions of a deranged commander-in-chief have my respect and admiration because they're only following orders.   Like Vietnam, this is no civil war and we're only sending people to die to stop the spread of.....whatever it is they're there for.   Time to bring the troops home.

of corse they are not how ever it does not matter either way. unfortunatly this country is filled with uneducated people who are so incompitent they are not intellegent enough to check their own news. this is a good site reguarding from american news sources and beyond the iraq WAR...http://mindprod.com/politics/abughraibpix.html#ABUGHRAIBPIX \namericans just keep breaking their treaties they signed with the un. the american people are responsible. how ever i must say that bush might not be smart but the real brains behind the opperation is. carl rove is one smart but evil man. these people belong to the masons which i am sure u are fimiliar with the new world order. several presidents and kings are members. this is all about money. why do u think 22 arab countries do not get up and fight for palestine well look their governments are corrupt and are ALL about money just like this one is. unless u are at the top you are at the bottom of the food chain. no matter where you are in the world. think about who goes and fights these wars. poor people. u will never see a senator fighting in a war. and when some rich kid goes out to war he is not in combat. in the end the poor out number the wealthy. and as long as people are slaves to that mighty dollar this will continue to happen. things are never going to change until the end of the world. it is prophesised in all religious texts. things are getting so bad they say by 2020 1/4 of the world will not have acess to clean water. the rich are buying up water rights if u can believe it or not. so unless everyone is going to make a difference which they aren't for lack of unification we are all doomed.
