Comments on: Bush Pushes Diplomacy Amid Iraq Pressure

President Turns To Allies As Security Adviser Says Iraq Conflict Intensifies

Let's see if we can profile ****rocks, shall we? He is a white male between the ages of 45 and 60. Obviously, he is educated as obnoxious as he may seem. He possibly has a high IQ; it's hard to tell. He probably doesn't have a son since he is so eager for the war to continue. He is disabled and/or unemployed because he can be on these sites any hour of the day or night. Because he has a computer with internet service, someone in the household works-either a wife or girlfriend. He is evidently impotent and feels the need to vent his frustration on the rest of the world.

How am I doing so far?

So Condi is on the sh** list with foreign policy? First Cheney and now Bush himself doing his job. OH,wait a minute. Woman are a sub-species in many of the Middle East countries. I guess that wouldn't do much to send her to ask for help :P

bushrocks1 doesn't know how to type. Someone else must have put in what he is always just copying and pasting over and over.
bushrocks1 do you know how to do a dialogue with the subject at hand or are you only a copy and paster of your stuff! You are very OLD and can't type in anything new. That is why you are STILL WAITING?

If you find the posting and re-posting of the same message by Bushrocks1 pointless and counterproductive, just click on "report this comment" below his post and report it.

I think teacher's point is that Bush is a chicken.

Would I send my son to this war? You might ask would I send him to WW II? Or Vietnam? Maybe you would distinguish those conflicts and whether you would send your son to fight in them. But that question is misdirected in a very important way: I can't command my son to go to war. He has to make that choice. So the better question would be: would I volunteer to fight in Iraq, WW II, Vietnam? Would I volunteer to fight in any war? Respond if drafted? I don%u2019t know. I'm not equivocating, only addressing that it is a hypothetical. To a hypothetical, I can answer, sure I'd fight. But I have nightmares of battle (from my past life as a Jacobite). So how do I feel toward those who do volunteer? Impressed and maturely knowing that many things go into their decision. But I do strongly believe that a country that can't find those men is doomed. The fact that we can find them is one reason why I say there is no failure in Iraq. Objectively, I also believe it for other reasons. An attempt to establish democracy in the Middle East is a bold, brilliant, noble effort, facing a high chance of failure. That's why I greatly respect and admire those who have made the attempt--the Bush administration. They have been resolute, something I have not seen in my lifetime. They may not succeed, for reasons outside their control or fault: traitors on the home front, being a big one. But now those traitors have apparently occupied the high ground. Yet... we're still in Iraq. Why?... I'm waiting.

Why meet in Jordan? Because Jordan has stayed neutral and is heavily vested in a democratic Iraq. King Abdullah, is a good stable sensible leader.

[tinker3478]

Bush and diplomacy-now there is an oxymoron. Or a Texas moron anyway.

[teacherheart]

Why meet in Jordan? Why not Iraq? If it's good enough for our young men to be there, why not the President? Better yet, it should be good enough for his daughters to go. It's their generation who are dieing for this wasteful war. Talk to a solider..any solider who is or has been there...they will tell you it IS civil war...there never will be a democracy and flat out we are just in the cross-fire of it all.

"Bush Embarks on Diplomatic Offensive".

Well, if "W" is going to be as offensive overseas as he is here, what do we have to look forward to?
I think that Blair and Olmert are the only two foreign leaders not offended by Dubya. Perhaps he can find some new countries to offend, if that is possible.

His and his cronies offend me.
