IF you love America, please continue all the Smearing and LIES. With the U.S. Economy this bad, you need to muster everything you got.

Well notblue u just seem to love hearing us child screaming kool aide drinkers here at leftwing central don''t U. Well hear some more.

If a liberal was in the White House and 1/10th of this stuff had happened that Bush has done the notblues of the world would be crying for a firing squad and impeachment.

It was obvious from the beginning that Bush and Rummy rushed us into this war unprepared. Luckily Iraq was even more unprepared than us or we would have lost hundreds in the initial phase. I think the neocons love what he has down to throw the mid-east into chaos- look at oil prices! they''re all getting that much richer.

But Bush and Rummy through their "planning" have gotten more than 4,100 Americans killed and at least another 25,000 permanently disfigured, trillions of dollars lost - and idiots like you whined to the high heavens when less than 30 US troops were killed in the Balkans under Clinton. I''d rather drink any flavor of kool aide instead of this lousy Bush-aide which will bring us $6-$10/gal gas by the time this thief leaves office.

I think he has accomplished exactly what he and his New World Order daddy wanted, the destruction of the US economy so it can be replaced with their charming New World Order run by oil billionaires and weapons industrialists.

Clark: Getting ''''shot down in plane'''' doesn''''t make McCain qualified

no f**king wonder the americans got beat in Vietnam and have failed in Iraq and Afghanistan

They''re the only "people" on the face of the earth who believe that getting crashing every plane you''ve flown (Magoo''s military "service") equates to military genius on the par of Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal, Marlborough, Napoleon, Rommel etc

impeach Bush and Cheney...

if we cannot do that then we have completely lost control of our country and we will have completely lost our democracy.

Sure they give us the impression that majority rules... but they are really doing whatever they can get away with without consequence. They stretched truths, and twisted facts to get congress to vote in favor of invading Iraq... and most of the reasons we had for going into Iraq have been proven to be 100% false

If we can''t impeach them then America is truly dead, because what else can Americans do to stop unsupported decision making. Sure the wealthy and lobbyist are happy, there money is all it takes to sway decisions... but us regular folk who struggle to meet day to day living expenses, and see absolutly nothing fro the present regime that helps us long term, do not have enough money to sway the decision making process...

therefore we must ensure that the next president and the presidents ahead no there are consequneces for decisions that are not supported by a majroity


MISSION ACCOMPLISHED... WHAT A JOKE

jh6379.....stop disrespecting prisoner''''s of war

He earned his Bronze Star the day before he was shot down

His 30 years in the Senate and Countless years on the Armed Services Commitee, make him more than qualified

Aww come on, it doesn''t stop him from being stupid. This man can''t function without people telling him what to do and say.

Classic FUBAR when civilian authorities override military authorities on planning.

Example for the history books, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz overriding Gen Schinski on post invasion troop level. If Schinski had prevailed, the insurgency would not have the devestating effect it did and may not have had any effect at all.

The Iraq war will be studied and written about for years and will be taught as what NOT to do.
