CitizenUSA, unbelievabe, what is your definition of stability? It must be a tyranical dictatorship that kept it's citizens in line via torture, death squads, and genocide. This same ruler attacked his neighbors causing the first gulf war, enabled terrorism by giving families of suicide bombers 25,000 each, defied the will of the world and refused transparency regarding WMD's, stole billions of dollars intended for his people through crooked deals at the UN and the list goes on and on. And as far as bringing down a countries ruler, enabling terrorism, increasing the the threat of radical Islam by refusing to fight or even acknowledge it exsists based on, attempts at giving the enemy surrender dates, declaring failure in the middle etc. etc. If that's your politics, plan, and justification then God help us all. We had better start studying the Koran.

"have managed to destablize an entire country, murdered over 3000 American soldiers"

You should familiarize yourself with all of the terrorist attacks that have not happened do to Bush's efforts, and weigh the potential threat of civilian lives from those attacks that have been stopped against the lives of the 3000 soldiers.

It's the neo-American passtimes: Bash-ketball and Blame-ball. It's hard to find a journalist who isn't doing one of the two. Even harder to find a blogger.

So true! Bloggers don't really count for much.....especially the bedwetting liberal ones. They are the "fringe" left and a small segment of the DNC.

[On the one hand, they want to paint Bush as this unintelligent buffoon who couldn't think his way out of a paper bag ... Then in the next breath, they accuse him of carrying out this master-minded conspiracy with multiple layers that fooled all of us, the congress, and the intelligence agencies of multiple foreign countries ]

so which one is it ... he's an idiot ... or a mastermind? either way he's a failure ... of historic proportions!

[citizenusa-2009]

Unbelievable. You folks that defend Bush are beyond help. He and his "administration" have managed to destablize an entire country, murdered over 3000 American soldiers, killed an untold number of Iraqui citizens, maimed over 20,000 U.S. troops, brought down Tony Blair and has driven our country into unprecented debt. Yet, you defend him? Thank God, you are not the majority.

I forgot Gordon Libby Cheney's fall guy If they can impeach Clinton over a affair that didn't cost any of us just him WHY CAN WE NOT IMPEACH BUSH over all the harm and loss of life he has done to this country. If I were Bush I could not live with what I did to the constitution of the united states that he took an OATH to uphold C'MON people wake up for belief and God you say If for one minute I believe that they used you and your beliefs to get power and do what they wanted.

[It is really unacceptable for someone to say this kind of thing about the President of the United States, particularly in a time of war ...
CBS rules of engagement clearly state that there is to be no insulting of groups or individuals and no threats. Your post violates both.]

it's also unacceptable for the president of the united states ... and all his currently employed aids and associates ... to be incesently lying to everyone and doing all they can to subvert the rule and law and democratic process.

in addition ... it's unacceptable for the president of the united states ... and all his tireless supporters ... to trash anyone who disagrees with them.

he can expect respect and decorum when they start practicing it.

Ralan40,

You make an excellent point how some people want it both ways.

On the one hand, they want to paint Bush as this unintelligent buffoon who couldn't think his way out of a paper bag.

Then in the next breath, they accuse him of carrying out this master-minded conspiracy with multiple layers that fooled all of us, the congress, and the intelligence agencies of multiple foreign countries (including France and Russia who BOTH believed Saddam had WMDs according to their own statements).

It's the neo-American passtimes: Bash-ketball and Blame-ball. It's hard to find a journalist who isn't doing one of the two. Even harder to find a blogger.

[hiclay2000]

Bush believed there were WMD in Iraq. We had reason to believe. He acted on those beliefs. He was wrong for that, but with the best intentions. Now we must bring stability back to Iraq to insure it does not become another sanctuary for terrorism. Terrorist groups are looking to form a statehood that will help them rally and train more suicide bombers, and gain all the rights of a statehood as granted by the UN. WE CANNOT LET THE TERRORIST HAVE IRAQ!

[bobnjersey]

[wjy is everyone blaming Bush? These people in their accusations endow Bush with power and cunning that I just don't believe he posesses. There were a lot of people on board with this at the start, many of them presidential candidates who lie and say they weren't.]

who was the president at the time the war began? who pushed the whole concept of iraq being involved in 911? who decided that iraq was to be the front for the so called 'war on terror'?

who else but those in the highest seats of power in the us government had any authority or control of what they chose to do?

read bob woodwards's 'state of denial' and you'll find your answers ... and they won't involve 'power or cunning' ... just a whole lot of incompetance and arrogance.

"We should not pass harsh judgement to those who share the same love of God and Country."

OK - when you find someone in the Bush administration who loves God and Country more than he loves his own wallet, I won't judge them.

Until then, I say they are traitors and murderers.

[starleo146]

You know what amazes me reading these post that there are people defending George Bush Let's see we have a war and people dieing every day and this war was all based on LIES AND PROPAGANDA BY THIS ADMINISTRATION We have a spying of Americans and wiretapping that Gonzo said he didn"t recall and has now proven HE LIED WE got WOLFIE of the world bank in a scandal and being forced to resign Well condi-Bush And cheney what is next and why isn't this guy IMPEACHED by now What is it going to take for these Bush LOVERS the last soldier we have.

"If we leave without finishing, the lives we lost thus far will truly be for nothing"

The lives we have lost have already been wasted. Any "success" we might acheive in Iraq is pure fiction. This was an orchestrated war for profit, and was already being planned months before 9/11. Sure, Bush didn't do it all himself, but he's at the head of the cabal of criminals who did.

The only thing this war is acheiving is increasing the profits of Bush Oil, Haliburton, et al. Americans are being murdered for money by their own government.

Oh, and by the way - it's making the terror problem worse, not better, as Iraq is a recruiting drive for Al Qaeda.

The war on terrorism will never be won, it will be a constant battle. This type of war is new to everyone, including the DOD.

BS. We need to reserve the harshest criticism for the arrogant, lying, thieving SOB's You are correct tho, this is a new type of warfare. Then why did this admin ignore all of the mid-east experts who warned that what is happening would happen? We listened to people like Wolfowitz who had an agenda. Read Hubris, Fiasco, and Life in the Emerald City for details. All written by respected journalists who have researched the run up to this fiasco.

[bm6005]

We're blaming Bush because he is where the buck stops for this admins cabal of ineptitude, incompetence, arrogance, etc. While I did support the war origoinally, it was conditional. I said to everyone I could " If what they say is true, then we are in the right. I didn't believe until Colin Powell made his statements before the UN. But I also said "God help these aholes if this is proven to be false info". So yes, I blame that IQ91 Moron-in-Chief of a dicktator we have at the helm of our country!

[besscannon-2009]

Of course, anything you say to Bush goes in one ear and out the other. There is nothing in there to stop it. The man is an empty headed airhead!!! I NEVER liked him, NEVER voted for him, NEVER trusted him and could not see how so many left themselves be led around by the nose by a diablo that falsly claimed to be religious. That was just the cover the evil cloak themselves in. Bush has been nothing more than the dummy on Cheney's knee. 'Nuff said!!

[hiclay2000]

wfbdem. You and your anti-Bush anti-neocon critics are good with putting words together that make you look smart; but you are missing the point all together and should re-focus your talents to somewhere more productive. The war on terrorism will never be won, it will be a constant battle. This type of war is new to everyone, including the DOD. We should not pass harsh judgement to those who share the same love of God and Country.

wjy is everyone blaming Bush? These people in their accusations endow Bush with power and cunning that I just don't believe he posesses. There were a lot of people on board with this at the start, many of them presidential candidates who lie and say they weren't. Has everyone suddenly developed amnesia? War is he11 people, what did you expect? If we leave without finishing, the lives we lost thus far will truly be for nothing.
