I support Bush; I'm not so sure about the war. I think he's worrying too much what critics are thinking about what's going on and not going full force.

This so called "war on terrorism" is a scam:\nYou kill an inordinate amount of arabs either through war and economic sanctions that take the life of a million Iraqis (half of them children), then you invade them again using lies to justify the ensuing fraudulent war.\n\nSaddam is a butcher but he was the US' butcher when he was instrumental in weakening Iran, and yes he did use WMD's on the Kurds and the Iranians but those same weapons were sold to him by the US!\nOnly then the US did not really care.\nAnd why, after his country was destroyed by the first Gulf War and the sanctions he would have dared to harm America, knowing that he would have been blasted into Kingdom Come if he only used a slingshot, I really would like to know.\nDon't you realize that the first and foremost worry for a dictator is to keep his place?\nDo some of you become scared on command or do you have a head to judge what makes sense or not?\n\nYou support Israel both diplomatically and economically to the tune of $ 3/4 billion of taxpayer money, and Israel has been crushing Palestinians for almost 40 years.\n\nYou then wonder why people who have nothing left to loose would want revenge! How outrageous!\n\nThe US, the leading terrorist state, has created terrorism. They thrive in it as an excuse to occupy the Middle Eastern oil fields and to increase the ever expanding military budget. Kickbacks, anyone? Halliburton, anyone?

The west should NOT assist any country that is not democratic..period!!!  When Iran turns their nukes toward Israel …..WE will be the first to throw our men and women into harms way!!  And WHY!?  Does someone have the answer to that?  Why should we throw our people into another war in the middle east? For who? For a country that would just as soon through us to the freekin dogs when we no longer are necessary to meet any of their needs???\n\nFor instance Benjamin Natanyahu said…” the cause of the attacks on the United States was a cause of it’s own”  …. Sounds like someone you’d want as an ally now doesn’t it??

It is possible to support the "President" and Not support bush the man.\nIn a way we all support the President of the United States\n(except those extreme left wing nut jobs who even Liberals like myself hate)\nIts g. bush the man who needs to be called to task. bush failed his country and as good Americans it is our duty to point this out.

No. I think that this is something personal for Bush. It's a "I'm President now and I'm gonna get you back for trying to kill my dad" type thing. Also, we all know that there is plenty of oil over there. Well what is Bush's family biz? You guessed it, OIL. We did what we set out to do over there. We got Saddam out of power and we should've helped, not take over. I'm not a very political person , but this whole conflict and the deaths of so many people just makes me and I know alot of you wonder what is really going on

Yes, I support our troops.\nI think the invasion of Iraq was a horrible mistake, but that certainly is not the fault of the troops.\nVery interesting points you make, although the rationing of resources I feel would be unnecessary.\nI would agree with your other two suggestions however.

I don't see how anyone who knows the facts surrounding the Iraq war and can think clearly could possibly support him. Do the pro-Bush people realize that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11? Being aware of pertinent facts like that might help you think more clearly about President Bush. \n\nThe issue is not about supporting the troops. The issue is whether the foreign policy is right. I believe it is not and that it is appropriate and necessary to acknowledge that fact. I think that the present state of affairs speaks for itself - the Bush administration is arrogant and incompetent. \n\nAnd folks, when you talk about freedom of oppressed people, that was not the reason we started this, remember - it was about weapons of mass destruction and terrorism.

It depends on what you mean about support.\n\nI think, in retrospect, the invasion of Iraq was a mistake.  It has taken away too much political capital that would be better spent stopping what it turns out may be the real threat of the Middle East... Iran.\n\nI still believe in the best values of the US and what it stands for but I think the current administration has led us down a path that I have greater and greater difficulty supporting.\n\nDoes that make me unpatriotic?  I hope not.

Why do you support him?  Some poeple support him because they think that if they don't, the terrorists will come and kill their family. It doesn't help that Bush and Cheney have actually SAID that.  I would have to know why you do support him in order to answer that question.

It is a bit hypocritical. We attack Iraq for violation of one UN resolution, but support Israel who is in violation of 4 UN resolutions.

What I support isn't in Iraq! My question to all who support the Iraq War, Who are we fighting in Iraq? Why are we fighting them in Iraq? This war is based on lies and deceit. GWB has proven to all that he is not trust worthy. I feel sorry for the families who get on TV and praise the efforts of their family members who have been killed in this war because they all believe that this is for the betterment of this country, How?  The people who attacked America, not one of them were from Iraq. The majority of them were from Saudi Arabia, a place that, at that time was suppose to be America's ally.\n\nEveryone who has lost a family member over there want to believe that they died for their country but they didn't they died because of a vendetta of GWB. They died because GWB had promised his father that he would get Saddam Hussein for trying to assassinate him during his term as President. I know that if this country was invaded, I wouldn't think twice about putting my life on the line to fight for it and I believe that there isn't one red blooded American who wouldn't do the same.\n\nI want to know who died and made America the ruler of the world?  How in the Hell can American Presidents dictate to other countries as to how to live their lives and conduct their governments when ours are so egregious. The very thing that Bush is telling the American people about other countries need to be taken care of right here at home. \n\nSpending hundreds of Billions of dollars for a war that's not rightfully ours and our country is going to Hell in a hand basket. Social Security, Community necessities, like Firemen, Policemen, Health-care, Mental Illness and Homelessness. What leader in their right mind would declare war on two countries before either of the wars are over? Americans are to blame because no one questioned this last election enough due to the fact that there's no way in Hell it was won fairly. \n\nNow the facts are creeping out about the Electronic Voting Machines, the votes entered into them, there was no way the votes could be verified.. The machines could have been hacked by kindergarten children and no one would have been the wisest according to the experts who had the opportunity to examine those machines.The answer to your question is, No, I wouldn't fight in Iraq, because what is being supported over there isn't worth losing a human life over, which is Oil and Power. \n\nMy heart is heavy for the Service People who are still there and the ones who will end up losing their lives over Lies told to them by a man who's in the White House believing that he is the President Of The United States Of America! In his Heart he know that he really didn't win! God Bless America and protect the innocent because there's too much corruption, hatred and vindictiveness in this Country. \n\nAmericans are allowing illegal immigrants and anti-Americans to dictate and change the very core that this country was built on that has made it what it was six years ago. Each time we allow God to be removed we suffer for it. God has always been a part of this countries make-up. The truest words I can think of are, "In God We Trust".

NO!!if any of what bush told us before we invaded iraq was true then maybe i could condone being there???? but every single thing was a lie and was blamed on false or poor intelligence??? bull****!i am a retired naval officer from the first gulf war and i'll tell you like i told everyone from the start!! BUSH LIED!!!!!!! now he refuses to admit any wrong doing and our troops will continue to be killed for NOTHING!!! THE WHOLE THING WAS A SHAM TO START WITH!! every other country in the world knew that from the start. most americans followed blindly into a ideological, useless war that will only result in dead soldiers and trillions of our tax dollars spent to support a terrorist nation that WILL have another saddam running it within 5 years!! JUST WATCH AND LEARN PEOPLE!I'VE BEEN THERE!!!!!!!!

I did not vote for George W. Bush. \nI do not share the religious or political views of Bush. \nI most certainly would not fight for Bush!\n\n(It so happens I have some health conditions that would make me unable to serve in the military -- not serious, but enough that I couldn't pass boot camp. But even if I didn't have these conditions, I still would not go to war for a man and a cause that I do not believe in).\n\nThat being said, I *do* support the men and women in our military who are overseas. Let's be clear on that -- I respect them greatly and I'm always thinking good thoughts for them. :) They had no choice in where they got sent, and if the truth were known, I'm sure many of them would rather not be in the Middle East either! But they'd face dishonorable discharge or even worse, if they tried to abandon the military.

The President Mr. Bush has taken unfair personal advantage of 9/11 and the American military's dedication and sacrifice to line his and his buddies' pockets and score a personal vendetta against Hussein.  Regardless of what you think of Hussein, the Iraq war was begun under falsely announced pretense, and has now escalated into a neo-genocidal conflict aimed at all who defy us.  There is potentialy an endless supply of enemies against the US, and now they have a convenient way of engaging us on their own continent.  \n\nAfghanistan is a relative success story compared with Iraq.  They bombed us, we eliminated them, that is how it should be.  \n\nI am getting tired of the people who say that if you are against the war, you are against the soldiers.  That is malarkey.  I am against the war because the government is wasting our troop resources on a conflict that we pre-emptively began without due cause.  I support our armed forces and would like to have them home protecting us, not Iraquis.
