I think Bush is full of himself, is there a firm ? to why we are at war?

Now what is the point of anyone who disagrees with you answering this question?  You're making more of a political statement, seems to me, and you don't really care to know the truth.  First of all, President Bush does not make all the decisions.  If you're still in school, I recommend you take civics and stop listening to everyone else.  In civics you learn about this groovy thing called DEMOCRACY, which our country still is a democratic nation.  You also learn that there are THREE branches to the government, not just the President and Vice President.\nI'm sorry if I sound condescending, but...I guess I'm annoyed and I'm taking it out on you.  Why am I annoyed?  Because the people who disagree with me for stupid reasons try to call me narrow-minded.  And when I say stupid reasons, I mean reasons I can disprove completely.  \nAlso because people who have no idea what's really going on in Iraq protest the war.  But they don't know what they're protesting.  Yeah, let's just pull out, let the insurgency win, let them take out the Iraqi government (which has been built back up from scratch in the last three years!), and put a new dictator in charge!  Hey, maybe the next one won't be as nice as Hussein (who, um, wasn't nice at all), but that's okay, because too many soldiers have died (1.5 a day on average according to my calculations using exact numbers of how many soldiers have been in combat over the last three years.  It took a few minutes, but I figured it out!), never mind the fact that if we pull out, all of those deaths will mean NOTHING.  That means that in a few years, we get to do away with another dictator...maybe after they kill a few hundred thousand.  But hey, that's okay, that would still mean that we'd be out of Iraq, and that's all that matters, right?\nI hate to break it to you, but the government is not all powerful.  Not only that, but no, they really DON'T care about you, as an individual.  They care about the different groups, and try to represent each as well as they can.  They're only human.  Imagine for a moment with me:  Our federal government has, what, 300?  Maybe 400?  Those select few have to make decisions for ALL Americans.  How many is that?  About 100-200 million?\nYou're not seeing the whole picture.  How is Bush supposed to stop the war?  Go over to the insurgents with some flowers and a white flag?  Within seconds of him doing that, Cheney would have to be sworn in.  \nI hope that whoever we elect in 2008 has the guts to resolve the issue in the Middle East, despite all the protesters.  I hope they listen to the soldiers on the ground, instead of everyone else.

Best to let the foolish prove themselves to be what they are. Bush tends to pick his battles. No need to even give this nut a platform on which to speak. If Bush answers his rediculous accusation, the press will look to him for a rebuttal. He's not worth the air time.

He is the WAR president, silly.  Now that just would not make good sense would it?  FLASH! to pn... where is the evidence that Iraq had ANYTHING to do with 9/11.  Were there any terrorists attacking the US from Iraq ? NO.\nAfter the US led invasion and occupation, Iraq is a training ground for terrorists from around the world - thanks to Bush.\nBut we caused that mess and created a political vacuum that is leading to a civil war.  Don't be a sheep and follow the sheeple that bleat 9/11 9/11 , terra terra terra. \nThey are largely uninformed and misled.

In light of Bush's insistence that we should stay the course it seems plausible that the USA also conducted sectarian bombings to drum up domestic support for a bogus 'war'.\n\nSaddam understood what some cannot  - that  democracy is almost impossible to achieve in 'tribal' nations.  Military rule is the most effective.  Something that Bush, as commander in chief,  should have known. \n\nI think he deliberated went in to cause civil strive but not a full blown war as a distraction from and justification of his true intent - control of the oil fields.  \n\nThen he tried to control the escalation of discord and with the cooperation of the media hide it from the American public. \n\nNow we know but we still don't grasp the full extent of what this man did to the Middle East and more importantly -  world stability.\n\nAnd no, I'm not paranoid - I'm analyzing.

There's not really a way out now that he's involved the U.S. in a country we have no business invading.  If we suddenly pull out, there'd be chaos.  Since he thought there was WMD, it gave him credibility to attack, but now as it turns out, he and his administration were DEAD WRONG.  I think it's all a big conspiracy myself in that it's a fight re: oil and he's continuing what his pop started when he was in office.  Bush is a complete idiot and has no business being the president.  He has failed us time and time again (Iraq; Hurricane Katrina; running up the deficit; etc.)  The man deserves to be impeached.

Of course he is, idoits are falling for this because they are simple minded and brain washed. Bush also lies about how he wants to help people, but waht about people in Hati. Theses people are suffering but too bad for them they don't have anything for Bush to take..

Bush is as honest as a politician can be, he does what he says and says what he does eventually. He believes in his vision and stands firm, that says something. many might disagree with the way the Iraq war is going but you got to admit he has done a lot of good. economy is very strong, unemployment is at record lows, stock market is soaring, but his immigration policies well to be blunt they s u c k big time. but who's perfect.

It's mystifying to me as well.  It also seems that most of the people who still believe this think George Bush is the be all and end all and hang on his every word.  Well...he's admitted they had NO connection, several times.  That he keeps trying to connect them in some of his speeches in an underhanded way keeps these sheep baaing away.  Terrorists are in Iraq now, thanks to us blowing the country wide open for them, but they sure weren't there before we invaded.  But it's that fine point that gives Bush the ammunition to continue talking about Iraq and terrorists in the same breath.  Sort of a Catch-22 that Bush uses to his advantage.  That there are people who can't make that distinction is a bit scary.

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

This is ashame really.  No more war.  However Bush is a  businessman and if he can profit, then he'll send everyone else's child to war but his own!  Sad but true.  As for the economy, I think that it remain in the depression it already is!!!

Yes Bush is in a tough situation but the majority of it is his own doing Yet hr tries to blame every one but his own self The sooner he his out of office the better . He has run up the national debt higher than all the presidents prior to him combined. as A WORLD LEADER HE IS A FAILURE  He only hears what he wants to and will not admit that he is totally wrong on many things Ignores the true facts about the war in Iraq because it does not fit what he wants to hear  He has single handedly turned the majority of our allies against us . And yet the few supporter he has left think he it the greatest thing to come along since sliced bread.  How sad it is that they are so blinded by all of  the B.S. that spews out of his mouth

Who underestimated Bush anyways. He is one of the enemies of human kind. People like Bush, Bin Laden and Ahmadinejad are immediate danger to our beautiful planet and its existence. We should never underestimate them. We should expose all their moves.

Because of everything the President is doing.  Someone has to pay for the war, and believe me, it is not comming from the Bushs' pockets

The trouble is that George Bush, no matter how resolute, has never understood the Arab world. He has blundered his way through territory that should have been about diplomacy and careful planning. Now, instead, we have a mess in Iraq and almost universal mistrust of everything American. His bully boy tactics have created a politics of fear. And yes, I do believe that his miscalculated entry into Iraq has been the source of discontent that has sponsored the growth of terrorism.

Bush wants an open ended war. He enjoys pushing people around because he's the "war president".\n\nHe's in the middle of a giant quagmire with no goals set.

You mean apart from the fact that he is a war mongering cretin that needs to be put out to pasture before he involves the entire globe in terrorist reprisals?\n\nHe isn't the sharpest tool in the box - never was - but his many advisers usually help prevent him making a TOTAL ar** of himself - mostly. \n\nAdmittedly they panic when he does his little walk-about talk abouts - as he relies on his own wit rather than pre-prepared speeches. It tends to get a little wobbly then.\n\nI'm sorry but asking WHY to ANYTHING to do with bush is a bit pointless. The guy isn't half sharp.
