If bush lied about Iraq, then so did Clinton who used the same intelligence, only being the WEAK democrat that he was ... did not have the ballz to confront Saddam.

i think we could have mustered the boots but we had "neocon experts" who trumped the brass (they could have made a stink, but didn''t)into an "easy war".

Result has been many many more deaths than would have happened - also firing the whole iraqi army was not the most brilliant move!

He just exchanged his alcohol and cocaine addiction with a jeebus addiction. still an addict, though.

Bush: Faith Helped Me Overcome "Addiction"

Faith must have helped him overcome lots of things like: Honesty, Integrity, Charity, Empathy...

"First is to recognize that there is a higher power," Bush said.

is he reffering to cheney or the performance of cocaine over alcohol?

This drunk failure will not be forgiven in this life or the next !

The drunken War Coward should be condemned for his 935 lies, 151,000 innocent Iraqis including infants who needlessly died, and 3900 U.S. military personnel who died, and 35,000 of them injured.

"First is to recognize that there is a higher power," Bush said. "It helped me in my life. It helped me quit drinking." What higher power is the drunk War Coward referring to? Satan? Mephistopheles? Beelzebub? If by "higher power" he is referring to Jesus Christ the Saviour, then Jesus, in order to save this pathetic fellow must have morphed into a common pinwheel to wheel around and pardon him so many times.

A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred."
it''s worse then any of us can ever know.

I stand corrected. 655,000 Iraqis innocent killed mostly by American airstrikes because this "superpower" does not have sufficient ground troops to do even a single war.

Why is this even news? What a non-issue and attempt at pandering to the Fundies so they don''t see what is really going on.

This is the second time in the last seven years I wasn''t ashamed of him encouraging recovering alcholics and/or addicts is a good thing no matter how you look at it. He seams to be on a mission to clean up his legacy. But never-the-less he didn''t have to do this.

"Growing evidence suggests that 9/11 was actually planned and implemented by Bush and Cheney, probably with the help of Mossad and a number of other flying monkeys including Osama bin Laden."

What do you think, ladies and gentlemen, a legitimate theory you ascribe to, or (as I believe), more the province of far-fetched and bizarre paranoia? When I think "moonbat", the above comes to mind - not a blanket reference to any and all policy positions I disagree with, so sorry for any perceived offense.

You have employed a classic propaganda technique by finding one kook in the woods and branding him as a LEFTY aka Moonbat. Guilt by association does not wash with me, Rove Junior. In your world all Christians should be branded murderers since Timothy McVey blasted women and children in the name of the Christian God.

Curse914, if you''re going to post a legitimate response you''ve got to stop misrepresenting my words and my point. That was you - not me - who is associating the word LEFTY (which I presumably defined to your satisfaction), with MOONBAT. I laid out the distinction quite clearly in my original post.

Your McVeigh analogy doesn''t wash with me, either. Where and how you came up with the bizarre theory that McVeigh was singing God''s praises as he blew up that building is beyond me. Almost as bizarre as the theory that Bush was behind 9/11.

So who DOES believe that Bush plotted 9/11, anyway? C''mon, I know you''re out there!

Bush: Faith Helped Me Overcome "Addiction"

This man is such a liar, it''s unbelievable.

If faith helped him kick alcohol, why hasn''t he used faith to stop lieing to us?

This man is such a hypocrite, he will surely burn for his lieing ways.

Was it in one of his drunken stupors that he began a war on innocent Iraqis?

There are 151,000+ Iraqis dead so far from American bombs and tanks, 2,000,000 refugees who fled Iraq and 1,000,000 who fled the ethnic cleansing within Iraq, a damaged infrastructure, including loss of electricity and water for which the U.S. owes innocent Iraqis.

The drunken War Coward should be condemned for his 935 lies, 151,000 innocent Iraqis including infants who needlessly died, and 3900 U.S. military personnel who died, and 35,000 of them injured.

"First is to recognize that there is a higher power," Bush said. "It helped me in my life. It helped me quit drinking." What higher power is the drunk War Coward referring to? Satan? Mephistopheles?

"Religion" is a set of doctrines, laws, rituals etc. where people try to live by these precepts in order to better their lives.

Christianity is based on a person''s relationship with the Living God, and His Son Jesus Christ, Who is God''s sacrifice for our sins. The power of the Christian''s life is in the Son, Jesus, Who comes and lives in your heart. He is the One Who changes your heart and life from within, not from the outside through your will power and efforts to be holy. The relationship that you have with Jesus Christ is your Christianity. You walk with Him, talk with Him and come to know Him intimately through the reading of the bible.

You got that right, I don''t know a dammed thing about what you''re talking about. You seem to be the expert, why don''t you tell me.
