Is Bu$h telling the American people the truth?

It may be that President Bush lied, but there is no evidence to support such an allegation.  What is known at this time can be interpreted more than one way by the general public.  Of course, what is known is innuendo and conjecture.  Nothing on which solid conclusions can be drawn. \n\nThose who like President Bush will say things supporting him and those who dislike him will say things against him.  Most likely neither group will have the truth of it. \n\nWaiting for the evidence to be developed, and it will be, is the thing to do.  Those involved (including President Bush if the evidence shows it) will then be prosecuted. \n\nWhile making accusations may be fun, it does nothing to advance justice.

i got news for you honey. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV ! Not even the news is accurate. Everything is slanted for a specific purpose. and apparently it's working on you. why don't you come on over here and we'll take some US History classes together and then talk about it.

When my kids are faced with a situation where they have to decide who is telling the truth, I tell them, "Look, listen, and figure out who has the most to gain by lying".\n\nColin Powell - who has made a deliberate and dignified point of remaining silent (and presumably loyal) and not voicing his opinions for some time now - is right, and so is everyone else who is accurately labeling the current situation...but these words are secondary to the real point: WHAT NOW?

You are right.\n\nKeep on speaking the truth.

they will stop misleading the American people when the American people refuse to be misled.  we need to vote good, honest people into office.

Americans know nothing of such things, only what thier government and media told them. Iraq was a nice peaceful place before... Look into Socialism, it is where we will end up eventually

You know, as soon as anyone starts a statement with words like "it's a known fact," or "everyone knows that" I can be 90% sure that what's coming next is a lie or exaggeration.\n\nIf it is truly a "known fact," then you wouldn't have to say that. People start their opinions with that statement because they think the person to whom they're speaking will be afraid to contradict them for fear of looking dumb. It's an intimidation ploy, and it doesn't work on everyone.\n\n1 - We didn't "invade" other countries. We were attacked, and we fought back. Self-defense is always a good argument.\n\n2 - We don't respect countries that treat their citizens like property and not individuals. I'll give you that. Please defend your position that it's ok to treat people like garbage.\n\n3 - We ARE superior to all other countries. That's why so many people want to come here.\n\n4 - Anything else? YES. We are the best country in the world. Our people are free to do as they choose. If they want to work hard and have a better life, they can. If they choose to do just enough to keep their heads above water, they are free to do that as well. We are one of the few countries in this world where its citizens can speak out against its leaders and the government as a whole. We bring freedom to other countries in order to make the world a better and safer place to be. We do so much for our "less fortunate" citizens, that people from other countries come here illegally to take advantage of the free ride because it's a better life than they can live while WORKING in their own country.\n\nThe people who hate us are just jealous.

I am always amazed at how easy it is to get a large section of the American public to turn their attention from the real problems at hand (social security, medicare, liars wars, energy crisis, etc...), and get them all riled up and pointing their fingers at their fellow workers. \n\nCongratulations you are being fooled again.

I think it is our job as citizens of the USA to NOT trust any government official fully. We should all question the actions of our politicians and then if we agree, so be it. If we don't, then our voices should be heard.

Yes because being an American and/or in America guarantees the "right" to free speech.\n\nSee how cool that is, we may not agree with your assertion, but we'll defend your right to say it!! God Bless America!

the american people have done it to themselves. as a whole we have lost our moral compass. then we complain when our "paid for" representatives behave the same way. we will never find our way with a relative compass thats different for evey one; only with one that points true can lead us. which requires us ask, what is truth?

the majority of americans are "sheeple" who have been conditioned to accept whatever the media presents to them as truth. look at how many people swallowed bush's lies about the weapons of mass destruction iraq was supposed to have had. i mean they were right, iraq once did have such weapons - our government had the receipts - they sold the weapons to saddam - who btw was trained by the cia - go figure

Yes, I have a suggestion..\nEvery time you see some ass h---- on the internet that says bad things about the President, or The Military, or, our country, let them know that they are free to say things like that because they ARE FREE.. Many Americans gave their life so people can express themselves.. But enough is enough..\nOur troops are over there protecting Americans over here.\nYou take care.

well, maybe Bu$hCo has clued in that the American public is cluing that you can't make war on a tactic.

I agree with the previous post. Why not both?  And I really don't want to come across as elist, but I doubt the American citizentry really knows enough about either country to be making such determinations.  What you've learned from watching 'floating heads' argue on CNN or Fox News for an hour probably isn't enough to be determining whether or not you think a country should be trusted.  Hopefully then, our elected officials will do what we expect them to and approach the situation with expert tact.

okay now I read you. Public opinion is just that. Opinion of the public. And the American people are not by any means the same all the way through. People's opinions differ all the time no matter what it is. Remember after 9/11 and the whole country was behind invading Afganistan? Well there probably was 5% of Americans not gun-ho about it.\n\nAnd thats the beauty of America. Its what our founding fathers would want to see. Not a single minded entity, but a multi-faceted body of individuals with different opinions on a mutlitude of issues.
