Comments on: Bush Delivers Somber Review Of Iraq

President Calls Mounting U.S. Casualties 'Serious Concern' But Rejects Timetable For Pulling Out

one_American, there is no talking to you. You are beyond reason. If you continue to deny what is hard facts, I don't waste my time.

I like people who I can debate with, not mudsling.

So Mr. President came on today to finally let everyone know what the current plan is. Why? Because it was time. We are at war and we see all the media coverage from the "experts" opinions and agenda pushers, but what we need when we are at war is a nation of people who know what their current leader and cabinet are working towards. Do they really tell you all everything? Of course not. Do any countries do that? Of course not. Look, keep the reality meter high and let your imagination of the future world guide your next vote, but stay awake to what is all around you everyday but buried among many of the ideals of a world full of information.

Did bush mention that his war is costing our grandchildren 1600$ A SECOND!!!1600$ A SECOND! While the repubs come up with new taxs breaks for Halliburton and their fat cat corporate donors! This is a plain simple fact. we are borrowing that money mostly from china in the form of trade deficits and treasury notes. Does any right winger really think that there will not be serious future consequences in this???? Does the kool-aid allow you to forget that too?

"Some on that boat say that they weren't under fire. Does that still make john kerry a hero?"

They ahve yet to confirm a single person on that boat who made those claims. The people of the village were interviewed and the Swift Boat lie has been thoroughly discredited. Do you really think the military gives out medals like candy without a proper investigation? If you've ever been in the service, you'd should know how ridiculous that is.

One(nazi)American.....You are completely screwed up. To put down a soldier who fought over these pretend soldiers you claim as heroes is nadless.

These men and women who actually went and fought (for however long ) did so so that you and I would not have to face the horrors of war that they fought. Why dont you move away from my country ?

[clestes-2009]

Kerry received a citation for bravery underfire. I call that proof enough.

[clestes-2009]

And besides, that "boy" he shot might very well have been shooting at him. Vets told me that they could not let kids come up to their tanks because they would carry grenades.

What gets me is that terrorist tactics have been used on us before. Everyone makes a big deal out of it?? What the hell were the *** in WWII doing if not terror tactics?

One American,

John Kerry and I served this (our) country in Viet Nam. You want to call us traitors and phonys, go ahead. Your ilk can question the patriotism of th elikes of Max Cleland and out a CIA agent if you must. But most reasonable people see through your hideous poision.

Common knowledge. You don't REALLY think you had something new, did you?

[clestes-2009]

One_American, so I guess Kerry putting himself in danger to pull one of his crew out of the water is the act of a coward??

So, you know a little bit of history, do you?

Do you not see the parallel of America trying to support democracy in Iraq?

Or is the meaning lost on you?

It is clear that repubs will say anything at this point to get elected. They are scared. They should be. Bush has squandered the lives and limbs of far too many American youth in an ill conceived, unplanned, optional war. No overwhelming force, No exit strategy, lots of nation building. Things the repubs always barked about when they were the minority and democrats were trying to justify military force.
Now a civil war has broken out along predictable, ancient sectarian lines because of Bush's inept planning. 800 million or so in funds missing. Three hours of electricity a day in Baghdad. Bush is paying to train and equip the militias that our troops then have to fight against in Sadr city! This is a disaster of incredible proportions. Unlike Katrina this one is the fault of two or three men. They sold the American people a bill of goods while the people were still shook from 9/11. They misled us down this path for their own unknown reasons. The reasons they gave the people changed constantly and turned out to be lies or mistakes of insufficient diligence or caution. Their hubris and pride led to their fall as it always does. Now "all the king's horses and all the king's men" cannot put it back together again. We the people will have to figure that one out. Starting 11/7.

God Bless our Troops
God Forgive George Bush

"The Statue of Liberty is America's, dolt."

And um... do you know where we got it?

[one_american]

huskerarmy:

John Kerry shot a boy in the back and was only in Vietnam for 3 months trying to collect war medals.

I would pick anyone who stands for protecting America over anyone who pretends to be a war hero and bashed someone who works to protect America.

Pick your heroes wisely.

[clestes-2009]

Every century has its greatest president. Washington in 1700's, Lincoln in 1800. For the last century, it is a toss up between Ike, FDR and LBJ. They each had severe problems, not of their doing, and dealt with them.

gw is not even close. He creates problems for others to solve.

"...you stupid worthless chimp!"

Coming from you One (confused) American... Thanks!

[rsoxfan1123]

huskerarmy- you beat me to it!

[rsoxfan1123]

One_American- which one was a Viet Nam hero, Kerry or Bush? Oh yeah. Bush sat on a bar stool throughout Viet nam. talk about naive.
