GW Bush-Mistakes?

And you would be hard put to find a question asked him by the reporters that was not specifically designed to put him on the spot and embarrass him. They might as well have asked him, so President Bush, when did you stop beating your wife?

I would defy anybody to have withstood that press conference with as much grace and poise as GWB withstood it. Yes, he is a terrible extemporaneous speaker. But try answering those questions directed at you and see how eloquent you would be.

The behavior of the press was disgraceful and I have no respect for any one of them. No president in history has ever been subjected to that kind of venom.

Thanks to Bush and pals, during the last twenty-four hours, eight more Americans and one Italian dead in Iraq.[/b]

Had Saddam not been such an ass, we would not have had to invade.

McG: You need to give this to the White House: the administration has been using and discarding excuses for invading Iraq since the beginning of 2002. Your "Saddam-was-an-ass-so-we-had-to-invade" excuse may be just the convincing rationale that Bush has been looking for. Indeed, you might even win yourself a job as National Security Advisor, once Condi moves to the State Dept.

"Nor has any been so deserving of utter contempt."

This Pres. desrves more contempt and also deserves to be impeached and prosecuted for High Crimes.

He is merely lucky that the Congress and the Supreme Court domintated by the Right Wing.

Brian, I am former military as well (Iraq the first time around and Somolia), and I disagree vehemently with the ilegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. So do many others on this board who have sevrved in conflicts from WWII-onward. Rather than jumping in and displaying evidence of simplistic reasoning, peruse the threads for a while, then repond in a civil manner, okay? Thanks.

Were you not as upset on 9/11 when planes destroyed 3 buildings and 3000 people died in one day? Do you have no support for our men and women that are over there giving their lives so that this does not happen again?

It is thanks to those men and women (and several thousand before them) that you have the right to get on an internet chatroom anonymously and spout your drivel.

If you really disapprove of what we (I am former military) are doing over there. Hop on a plane, go to Iraq and tell the opposition that you support them and want to fight with them. See how quickly you are running for the protection of our fine fighting force.

Do you think that we should have left Saddam in power to kill another 300,000 of his own people with mustard gas (that's what he used on them and it is a weapon of mass destruction in case you didn't know)?

Had Clinton taken Osama when he had the chance (the national security advisor could not locate him and could not reach him by telephone for well over an hour) 9/11 would not have happened and we wouldn't be in Iraq now.

Saddam gave money and territory to Osama, the Taliban and al Qaeda.
