Comments on: Bush: 'The War Is Not Over'

On 5th Anniversary Of Attacks, President Says U.S. In 'Early Hours' Of War

[ronniehm]

It IS kind of like arguing with a brick wall antoniorego. They know Bush is an idiot because everything he does is stupid and they know everything he does is stupid because he's an idiot. It really is the running theme for all their arguments.

[clestes-2009]

Political survival. Politicians sometimes make decision they don't agree with. You notice she has no trouble saying "I was wrong." Something I have yet to hear from the whitehouse on any level.

[ronniehm]

clestes, I guess all you have to do now is explain why Hillary voted to authorize the war in Iraq.

[clestes-2009]

The point here is not whether Bill Clinton had knowledge of how "dangerous" Saddam was. The point here is that he decided to take NO ACTION. His common sense and smarts told him that Saddam was NOT WORTH all the lives and money it would cost. Clinton is way smarter than gw and would never have used 9-11 to invade Iraq.

This idiot in the whitehouse now has neither the common sense or smarts to make the correct decision. He let his ego and greed make choices instead of smarts, which I doubt he has any of, and since he has no integrity either we are stuck with an immoral incompetent boob.

Just because I call Bush stupid does not mean I don't support the troops. I support them in every way and the most important one which is to bring them home. You think I must support this nimcompoop when he is dead wrong on every important decision he has made just because he is president. There is a difference between supporting the troops, and supporting this jerk.

Bill Clinton was a way better president than Bush. Bush has caused no end of trouble and money ever since he was elected. He has not accomplished one singe positive thing in the whole 6 years and this is with a Republican congress for God's sake! So Bill was unfaithful to his wife. What the hell does that have to do with running the country. Most of the best presidents we ever had were unfaithful to their wives, or had mistresses starting with Thomas Jefferson!

Hillary doesn't bother me much. I probably wouldn't vote for her though.

[ronniehm]

from CNN (2004):

The lack of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq contradicts years of intelligence indicating Saddam had such weapons, which also was the conclusion of officials in the Clinton administration.

"The consensus was the same, from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration," she (Hillary Clinton) said. "It was the same intelligence belief that our allies and friends around the world shared.

[ronniehm]

ccmm, it's politics. They know Clinton would have done the same thing after 9/11. He would have gone into Afghanistan. And based on his wife's vote to authorize force, he would have gone into Iraq too. And don't even try to tell me that Bill Clinton, who had access to intelligence on Iraq for eight years, allowed Hillary to vote for a war that was based on a lie. A ton of that intelligence was gathered during Clinton's term, so if Bush saw it, Clinton saw it. Hillary Clinton is the best evidence that Democrats are full of it. It's politics.

I find it funny and sad at the same time that people are more willing to bash our own Pres before they even mention something bad against Saddam or Osama. why is that? Attacking our pres before you attack the evil people of this world is what being un-American is all about. I hated John Kerry, but I would never create division like the dems do. Debate is good, division is bad. But I'm sure you all know that right. A unified country is more important to you than your own point right. I would hope so.

[clestes-2009]

Thank you jh6379.

Why does America have to do everything, and police the world? Because someone has to be the leader!...did you read my post? We need more leaders not fallowers. Go read my post: See the big picture. And why don't you post about more then one idea, things are complicated not easy to always see. The right thing is rarely the easy one.

We should be honored...honored to fight for freedom.

Hey Bob!

I love my country and I do stand behind what our government is doing. Yes, this country was founded on being able to voice your opinion. But it's always the people who are against EVERYTHING that you always hear from. They are never satisfied. No matter who is in office. Your also given a right at the age of 18, that's the right to vote. If you don't like the way the country is run, GO VOTE! It's your civic RIGHT!

PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!

[getcentered]

The "war" is not over Mr. President?
Which war, Iraq or "the war on terrorism"?
If you%u2019re talking about Iraq then I hope your wrong Mr. President. I hope it all ends soon there, and family of mine can come home before they get killed. I put the blame solely in your hands for the cursory war in Iraq, which you and your cursory administration led us into.
As far as the "war on terror" goes, well it didn%u2019t start with your office and it's not going to end with your office. I don't even think you understand what a "war on terror" is. It's not really a "war". It's a LAGRE scale criminal investigation won mostly by surveillance, intelligence and the ability to respond quickly to in coming threats. Terrorism has always been there, and Americans have often been the targets, but there isn't just ONE enemy. There area many terrorist groups and they all have there own goals. One of the goals of our terrorist enemies is to gain clout through attacking us. YOU GAVE IT TO THEM! WHY? You are the cause for thousands of new terrorists recruits. You are making the problem bigger by including Iraq in your so vague "war on terror". Mr. President you and your talking point robots of a constituency have lost my confidence. My vote is not going to be aligned with the GOP. Your party shows no willingness to show individuality, intelligence, and a freewill.
Mr. President, you and the GOP have failed us. WE WILL REMEMBER.

Hey, "believer in USA": One of the fundamental principles this country was founded upon is the right to disagree with the government and to protest. That's the way it is, and has always been, and was intended to be. If YOU don't like it, maybe YOU should get out. Morons that say Love It Or Leave It are generally the ones who need to be packing their bags, because in reality, THEY don't like it here. So, have a nice trip.

[beliverinusa]

If you don't like the way things are run and one in USA, GET OUT!!!

You have that chose. You can leave. I'm so sick of the blame game that everyone is playing. It wouldn't matter if someone else was president instead of Bush. They would blame him, our government and however else they can think of.

I regret that so many people lost their lives and alot of our military have died.

Stand tall America!!!

[clestes-2009]

Hey momtodrdog, don't confuse backbone with stupidity and then too stubborn to acknowledge mistakes. Bush was a moron when he attacked Iraq knowing they had nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden (you read that report they released yesterday, right? The one that said there never was any doubt about it, NO ALQUEDA TIES)

He then betrayed every American and most espcially the ones who suffered losses on 9-11 by claiming he was chasing Osama Bin Laden in Iraq. He had lost all interest in Osama by then.-11 was only an excuse he used.

This man is without conscious, morals, integrety, honesty any of the qualities we need in a leader. How he can sleep at night is beyond me. Maybe that is why he looks like death warmed over. All those dead souls he has killed by his lies must come to haunt him at night.

The best thing he can do right now is get out of Iraq and join with the UN as a peace maker. The UN works better if the USA is with them instead of off on some cowboy mission of Bush's doing.

But, Bush has already said that he won't leave Iraq while he is president. No, he is going to leave the big mess he has made for his successor. He a coward and well as stupid he is.

[jlumpkins-2009]

I'm trying to come up with a way to say what I really want to say about bush without violating the rules.

Let me just say that hearing that dull witted, inarticulate, morally bankrupt piece of garbage that has waged war on my deepest held beliefs from day one of his administration begging for unity makes me want to puke.

That about sums it up.

Don Quijote -- chasing windmills. He did not catch all them either.

[momtodrdog]

I also agree with thgdriver. That famous quote applies here very aptly, "Ask not what your country can do for you but rather what you can do for your country"!!!

[momtodrdog]

You go, peacemaker2k!! I am standing behind our president because at least he has backbone enough to stand up to Iran and other components of the "axis of evil"! Where would we be if some tenderhearted wimp was in there? Pres. Bush barely had a chance to get his presidency started before we were enveloped in this quagmire. It seems the man can't make a right move to please the American public. Catch 22. I say, let's stand behind our President and rally forth to fight those evil devils and show them true democracy at work! God bless America and President George W. Bush!
