Is President Bush doing his job by sending more troops to the Middle East to let them die?

Yes he is doing his job sending people off to die, he is the commander in chief of the US military.

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

Our troops need to come back state side and be with their families. The troops serve only the bank accounts of the wealthy oil companies. They are killed for no good reason. Bush needs to get his head out his daddy and his daddies friends arses. BRING OUR PEOPLE HOME! NOT IN BODY BAGS!

While i'm sure Mr. Bush has indeed had conversations with countless people who are considered experts on the Iraqi situation. He has failed to act on any advice that would alleiveate tensions in the region. The situation has now become so bad that the solution will probally cost many more american and british lives there. Good question.

I really didn't want another Bush in office because of Sr George Bush was about when he was in office. Unfortunately his son is in office and then 9/11 happened. Now we have our troops over seas fighting against an enemy that they have no real experience in fighting (guriella war-fare). Troops are dying everyday and we really haven't found any weapons   of mass destruction or Osoma Bin-Laden as of yet. The real reason why we are over in Iraq is to get our bid in on their black gold. Is Bush the right person for presidency? NO. But he has to finish what he started.

That's 2391 too many.  We sent them to die for no good reason.  America should only go to war when it's absolutely necessary, and Iraq was not necessary.

Yes. There was no war going on before George W. Bush and since he's been president, a pointless war is costing millions of dollars and thousands of lives. The middle eastern people (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan) do not believe in Democracy, so why should the U.S. persuade them? They believe that man should be executed because he converted to christianity. People are harsh over there and they have a lot of hatred for anyone "different" than them. We're not even fighting to destroy Al-Quaida... we've lost our focus and all we do is try to change the people that canNOT be changed.

Bush and Blair are not directly responsible for all the people dead in Iraq. Yes they did order the troops in but because thousands of people are shooting and trying to kill our soldiers all we can do is fight back.

The reason is Bush went to Iraq. Shoot if the radical liberals ever agreed with anything Bush did I'd know it was the second coming. If Bush committed suicide right now Hollywood radicals would be complaining he didn't finish out his term.

hahahaa... I don't think we have a foreign policy... we're just sending our jobs to Central/South America and Asia, while blowing up the middle east... and ignoring anything Europe says \n\nMaybe that's quite a complex foreign policy to Bush, but it doen't cut the mustard with me...

It was best for Al Qieda to have president Bush to get re-elected. They are getting all the publicity. They don't even have to attack U.S. now, President is helping them big time. If preseident is destroying this country at LOW expense of their man than There is no need to get rid of him.

No.  As much as I don't care for President Bush, he has:\n\n* Never called for the annihilation of another sovreign state. (Israel)\n* Never made threats to nuke another sovreign state (US)\n* Never allowed extremism to dictate his country's politics\n\nI think the sooner the president of Iran can be replaced, the better the world will be.

our troops will stop dying for that particular cause and Iraq will probably revert to a war torn arena that is governed by warlords and/or different religious factions until the most powerful one is able to take control, which will probably/definitely be another Saddam.... then you will have another situation unlike the previous and we can start all over, probably with a US leader that will not invade but will allow a military buildup and then we can just let them invade us..... after all, the only thing most (not all but most) of the governments in that part of the world want is the complete destruction of the west.... which includes us and anyone that is on our side................. so while no one wants what we have there now.... the choice is finish it and get out or get out and let them finish us............... our choice.

Yes, y not?  Bush is trying to rid a country of murderous assholes.  Hes doing the right thing.  and all the people that say the war is bad and all that, just talk to someone in the military that has been over there.  they will all tell you how proud they were to be over there, to see the faces of the people they have helped and to have so many people coming up to them and thanking them, so just shut up about the war.

No. He'll find some reason or another to stay. (Can't forget that oil). Again, Bush is in quite a bit of trouble right now. Remember, The US took a large number of young Iraqis to "train" for security purposes. Many of them went to Jordan. The streets are not secure and it will take a while for them to become secure. I don't believe this "westernized" method of training is doing any good in Iraq. In that respect, I believe Maliki has other plans to provide security.  Even if it means "using" al Sadr.and Iran. And Syria.

It has been suggested that Bush feels that way. There is no doubt that he is obsessed with his place in history – even more so than your average egomaniacal politician. It might explain his apparent lack of concern for his complete failures in Afghanistan and Iraq, for allowing Israel to choke the Palestinians to death, and for further destabilizing the already volatile Middle East. And, he does maintain that he invaded Iraq on instructions from God and he began the invasion talking about it as a crusade. The US President is a very sick puppy – and very dangerous.
