"Bush: War On Terror Like U.S. Revolution"

Don't even GO there you idiot! this illegal deadly "war" isn't even in the same ballpark as the American Revolution, it's more "like" Hitler's invasion of neighboring lands on a pretext, it's more like the Gulf of Tonkin sham.

"Right now the Brits are 70%+ against this mad illegal war"

The conspiracy theory I like right now is that the British are behind the whole war, that the British Empire still exists as a financial empire rather than a military empire and still dominates the US and its former colonies. The British Empire, goes the theory, is the force behind what we call globalization and also behind the Iraq war and other international events. In this theory, the great struggle of the last 100 years was between the Anglo-Saxon economic model, ie the British Empire, and the Gallic economic model, ie communism or socialism. It is still the French fighting the English, and we are a dumb proxy caught in the middle.

To help keep score: unions are Gallic, hedge funds are Anglo-Saxon. et.

%u201CAnd as we work to advance the cause of freedom around the world, we remember that the father of our country believed that the freedoms we secured in our revolution were not meant for Americans alone.%u201D

Bush thinks the Declaration of Independence is an international document.......

Wow, I am impressed that Dubya has heard about the US Revolution!

But it's a good thing he wasn't in charge of that war! If he had been, we would still be a British colony today!

[dallison7]

I'm British, I like Mr Bush. I think he's a good and decent man, who loves America.

He's had to face challenges that no other President has had to deal with.

He understands that western liberty is under threat like no other time in modern history.

I hope he's had a wonderful Presidents Day.

CUT THE CR4P, LIEBERMAN!!

Wow - that parasite GW Bush talks of freedoms as he takes them away from the very citizens he claims to defend.

What a freaking lying piece of crud.

[drinuk]

Hey Guys, Stezzer is on his own, please don't get hitting on Britian for one deluded, mis- guided idiot. Right now the Brits are 70%+ against this mad illegal war with Blairs credibilty down the toilet, fully blaming him and Bush for taking us there on a lie. Had Blair have stood firm and supported popular opinion, Bush would have been alone. The Brits now regard Blair as a muppet with Bush in control, they both sold us down the river.

What war on terrorism? In 2001, after a remarkable series of bold and well-coordinated moves by CIA professionals in Afghanistan, Bush jumped to take credit for their work in cornering bin Laden in the mountains at Tora Bora. But Bush was also interested in Iraq, and soon lost interest in the chase. At a critical point, Bush and Rumsfeld simply dropped the ball, letting bin Laden escape.

So, where is bin Laden today? Bush has no idea-- at one point, he publicly stated bin Laden was not a lot on his mind, of late. As experts now point out, the Bush failure to destroy al Qaeda and the Taliban in late 2001 doomed the American effort to destroy al Qaeda worldwide, as well. Currently, al Qaeda is thoroughly distributed around the MidEast and at various points

GEORGE WASHINTON is rolling over in his grave after 275 years of tranquility.

Bush compares the American Revolution with his lying war on Irak? Why tyrant would dare to lie so boldfacedly! I am physically sick to see our great American Heritage dishonored by this ecuse for a man.

SHAME ON BUSH FOR ETERNITY ! MAY YOUR NAME LIVE IN INFAMY !

around the world, its operatives well-concealed and skilled in tactics and organization. Ironically, it was only after American troops entered Iraq that al Qaeda began to take root there, and show increasing effectiveness in the post-invasion chaos. Today, Iraq is the showcase of al Qaeda efforts to show effective resistance to American power. Some war on terror!

Shortly after the Taliban regime fell, Bush-- as eager as ever to make premature declarations as ever-- invited Afghan leader Hamid Kharzai to a thunderous victory celebration in Washington. Bush got all the mileage he could out of the event.

Bush even pledged support of the US government to the Afghan people-- Tommy Thompson's Health and Human Services, in particular-- to build demonstration projects for millions of Afghans living in abject poverty and disease, utterly demoralized by years of war and Soviet and Taliban oppression.

Bush "War on Terror"-- 3
What sounded good in the press was, in fact, a lie-- another Bush attempt to use public relations to cover a massive human disaster like Katrina, but one many times greater. Nothing even approximating this American promise materialized for the Afghans. Some of the rebuilding effort was attacked by remnants of the Taliban, as expected. But the American aid, in large measure, was never sent.

An Afghan native and US citizen, Dr. Mojadidi, sent to attend a US demonstration project named after Laura Bush, appealed repeatedly to HHS for promised US aid to be sent. The doctor was told again and again in emails directly from HHS that help was on its way. But after more than one year, it was clear these words were lies. Nothing whatever arrived to help the suffering women and children of Rabia Balkhi hospital. The sinks still ran of sewerage, sanitation was negligible, nurses still used contaminated needles as paperclips, babies died needlessly, and supplies needed for surgery had to be brought in from

wherever they could be found-- if they could be found. The Afghans continue with one of the world's highest infant mortality rates, and the only surprise is the vast gulf between Bush promises and actual delivery.

Eventually, out of sheer embarrassment, HHS directed that the sign "Laura Bush Memorial Hospital" be taken down. The HHS end-of-year report noted its Rabia Balkhi project did not meet its goals, but nothing more.

Those concerned about our humiliation as Americans, after so many Bush promises were delivered, still can be remedied. Americans of both parties, and the independents as well, should write their congress people to get moving on the real war on terror-- making a difference in the lives of people Bush said we came to liberate.

Charles Manson is a big Bush fan! He say the big GB is a real tuned in dude. Maybe you should have given Charlie, Rummies old job? Carl "*** bloosim" Rove, "Scooter" Libby.... Sound familiar? I bet you'll find the PNAC and neo-cons got all their ideas from listening to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Where is Vincent Bugliosi when we need him?

[zootallures2]

Washington couldn't tell a lie. He chopped down the cherry tree. So, tell us about building 7, Mr. Bush. Did you also veto the laws of physics? Oh, it wasn't until the embasy bombing that we heard of Osama bin Ladin. Yea, sure. The bin Ladens loaned you money and the CIA supported him to fight the Russians in Afghanastan. But Washington also had recruiting problems. Not only did the Germans win the Revolutionary war, but they stayed and made beer. Iraqis are circumsized, you might be able to fool them again and maybe they'll bring beer to Iraq. Hey, if your crazy plans are working, don't laugh at mine.

[jsilver2th]

Yeah Richard Nixon used to pace around the White House talking to the presidential portriats.

[alimech]

TheIraq war has nothing to do with freedom... It's about OIL, and NO BID MULTI MILLION CONTRACTS. Then the wounded come home to heal, and are put in sub-standard quarters in SUPP0SEDLY the greatest hospital in the world!!!

AND if they come home in a casket, leaving their children to be raised by grandparents, the gov't wont give the guardians the soldiers $$$ for getting killed in a foreign country in an illegal war!

Then add that the billions of dollars that have gone to this deceitful war, was stolen? borrowed? aquired? fram raping SS and Medicare and other programs.

And the man is either an idiot, deslexic or both.

"The key to foreign policy is to rely on reliance."
- George W. Bush November 1, 2000 Quoted from the Washington Post.

Anybody know what the @#%* the above means????

stezzer-

Government Shill. They pay people to talk in these forums.

You can tell when the person basically licks Lord Bush's Balls. AND they say they are British.

Couldn't agree more. This guy is about as "British" as my pet Shih-Tzu's are. I have no doubt they're getting paid (because only a real dumb-as*s would say these things otherwise), but at least they could TRY to be believable.

When I think that the monkey currently sitting in the Oval Office is occupying the same space as some of thew greatest Americans who have ever lived it turns my stomach. In comparison to the worst of them Bush still comes off a cretin, a moron and a brain-dead idiot. If he had any brains at all he'd ban President's day altogether, because it just points out at least once a year what a pathetic excuse for a human being he really is.

While it's true that we still have the right to express our opinions, because brave men have fought to protect that right. This chimp is hardly one of them. His dad fought to get him into the Texas Air Guard, the safest way to be in military without the risk of fighting.

He understands and accepts the risks of war. It is his belief that no risk to life and limb is too great, as long as it's someone else's life and limbs being risked. It's been described in psychiatric literature as, "Let's You and Him Fight."

The challenges that he has faced are no greater than those many other presidents have dealt with, unless you're referring to his alcohol and drug problems. He's supposed to have those under control. Instead of counting on any rights he's protected, we need a thorough inventory of the parts of our Constitution he's tried to subvert and his unconstitutional and illegal orders with regard to our rights.

George Washington fought to free this country from King George, but he had no say in the desecration of Mount Vernon by this George, who would be king.
