Comments on: Bush: 'We Don't Torture'

President Tells Katie Couric That Connecting Iraq To War On Terror Is Hardest Part Of His Job

[jastewrt]

This man is so unqualified to be the leader of anything that it is pathetic to realize he is the President.
Anyone who believes anything he says is too bogged down with their own daily lives to be paying attention even though I am sure they mean well. I wish they could see the truth.

Katie is a true AMATEUR. She doesn't belong on the Nightly News no more than I do. You could tell by the way she was kissing up to Bush. He should be impeached, arrested and given the death penalty. He is the mass murderer who has killed thousands of innocent people and the mastermind behind 9/11 but, of course you are too scared to report that.

Bush's war in Iraq is a miserable failure.
Bush's war on terror is failing.
However, Bush's war on the middle class is going very well!!

[trogers713]

Come on people....we have troops fighting to keep this country safe and some of you just don't get the real picture. Sure we lose a few good men and women over seas but we lose alot more here at home. Why don't we get upset or should I say (mad as hell) with all the men and women killed in auto accidents here at home. Last year alone we lost 39,189 compared to a few hundred in uniform. Hey come on think about it...do you want to blame that on President Bush as well? Keep the fighting over seas....He has done a good job and I support him...

[kenwillmore]

Whenever I see our President I get sick to my stomach. I can't believe there are those who continue to defend this guy. He has done nothing for the poor or the middle class and the reset of the world hates us.

Your scare tactics with not work this time.

[truthquest]

No offense, sir, but it was mainly Saudis (our allies, btw) who committed the atrocities on 9/11. And it is Pakistan (another ally) who is harboring Bin Laden. Iraq had nothing to do with it, sir. In addition, my post wasn't criticizing the valor of our armed forces. The criticism is of the failed policies of the Bush Administration, for having placed our troops in harm's way in Iraq, in the middle of a civil war without enough body armor, ammunition, or an exit strategy. Your schoolyard comments to "grow up" might include some homework on your part, and not in parroting the shrill sounds of opining talk radio pundits.

The weakness for most people is that they tend to be too blind to see the big picture. It's always about who is better than who. It's never about doing things together. That must not be what this country is about. It's never about the big picture. Yes, 3000 people died almost five years ago. Yes, maybe our country does torture its prisoners of war (what country doesn't?). Yes the majority of the hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia. And yes, the Bush family and the Saudi Royal family are closer than most blood relatives. But it's not about that. It's not about the floods of Saudi nationals allowed to flee the US on the night of the attacks. It's about who's better than who, right? My guy is better than your guy, right? I mean, if I were to form my opinion on my leader, I would look at things like the economy and his approval rating and how good a job he keeps on his promises of education and keeping his own citizens from drowning to death whenever levees break. That's what I would do. I mean, it's not his fault. Iraq needed to be invaded. Hurricane Katrina was Sadaam's fault anyway.

When will the American people wake up these people killed 3000 of our people in one morning what are we supposed to do say OOPS we know you didn't mean that. Our people that are over there voluntered to serve there country with dignity and what support do they get. Were like a bunch of grade school kids fighting over whose team is the best. It's just I didn't vote for you so I will oppose anything that you do. Grow up!!!

[janet804]

What is the matter with you all? Are you so stupid and blind to see this country is in big trouble. Does is take another 9/11 to wake all of us up? I hope not.
President Bush is doing a great job and the news is not telling the real story. If you are an American then start acting like one and defend this country. Grow up before it is too late.

[sensinoss]

If you really belive that what he says is true then you need a reality check and if you are that blind to the truth to whats really going on go to google video and look up TERROR STORM and get your real view of your president.

[truthquest]

We. Don't. Torture. Hmm, would that include those who are under indictment for doing just that while on guard duty at Abu Ghraib in Iraq? Under whose watch Iraqi prisoners, er, detainees, died in custody? This from a man who only this week likened terrorist activities to fascism, but failed to recognize the same fascist-like activities in his own administration, including suppression of information, one-party rule, detention without a fair trial, etc.
p.s. The reason in saying, "the hardest part of my job is to link Iraq to the war on terror" is because nobody is buying it anymore. Karl Rove needs to come up with some new material, because the tail is beginning to wag the dog.

[nynative1340]

Well, if Bush said it, it must be true. He truly believes if he says it, it's got to be true, and everyone will believe it, because he lives in 'Bushworld'.

[thebrandon1]

I feel that in a country where you can't trust the validity of the leader's comments you can't help but question whether or not you are being told the truth. When he says that rich data has been declassified so that the American people can know the justification for 'interrogation' I can't help but wonder if that 'rich data' was merely just another excuse on a long list of excuses to justify what is morally and ethically wrong. Among other things.
I hate being told lies. And Americans shouldn't have to stand for it. But we do.

[wbrisol]

Our president is a liar!

[liberalkelly]

LIAR. we do torture. that has come to be the american way in war. just another lie to the american people from the lips of a liar. he claims to be the leader of a just and fair nation when i would say that he is the only this causing it not to be so. they torture, they lie, they abuse our freedoms. tell me, with all of the democracy that we are bringing to the world- when do we get some??
