Bush is doing nothing but making the whole Republican Party and this country look like a bunch of inbreed morons. You can pretty much guarantee that, since he totally destroyed this countries integrity, there will not be a republican in office next term.

The man is far beyond having any real sense of things that HE SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN !! of course if he would be going after the real wanted man and quit trying to liberate a country that can not be liberated, things would be a lot diff.

Then I also say the best way to solve the mess over there is to drop a couple of bombs in the heart of anything that is viable to the freaks. What am I saying ?? Well, it's quite simple people; Blow up the KA'BA. That would bring the freaks to their knees

[RobTheDrummer]

Will you people wake up? Last time I heard, this was a war we are fighting! Sacrifice is what started this country. Sacrifice is what made this country great. Being a bunch of pussies in the war on terror and extremist ideals will be the death of us. People die in wars. Troops sign up to fight. It's a voluntary system. Every military person that I know is proud to serve. I don't wanna see people die anymore than you guys, but I realize this is something we must do and prevail in. The more troops we have, we should be able to get more done simply by numbers. If it weren't for all the crybabies out there, we would have more time to do the job right. But, since everyone wants an overnight war, Bush is listening to you.

[RobTheDrummer]

Also, what happened to real reporting? Why is it that all these liberal media people have to put thier opinions on there as well? There is a difference between having a show on opinion and reporting. A reporter is supposed to report the facts. No more, no less. These people are skewing the stories their own way with fluff and putting in their own twists. They also take clips from speeches and skew them in a way they see fit, so we don't get the whole story. We end up gettiing a bunch of fluff and opinionated bullshit.

[Zinger]

Here we go!!!! the PEOPLE has spoken!!! It don't matter about blah,blah,blah liberial media,yadda,yadda.

The american people are sick of the war mongers in power!!! So kick and cry like the conservative republicians do! if it ain't there way it's no way.

I kept my mouth shut till the time was right,to move the voters and people for a change.....

If it was up to me I would like to see impeachment process for the president. Clinton lied but NObody died

Also my kid had three friends that were over there I have the deepest respect for them,But THEY agree THEY should have not been over there.

[RobTheDrummer]

Yea, Clinton lied and people did die....

http://thereitis.org/displayarticle167.html

When you sign up for the military, you should always be ready to go at any time. In this day and age, people don't wanna obligate to anything. The downfall of pride and trust.

[Zinger]

So- almost four years after our invasion- 40 thousand americans have been maimed- another three thousand americans have died. 650,000 Iraqis have died....

Clinton bombed a plant run and owned by osama bin laden! Your comparing that with the Bush Administation??
The same guy planned 911!! What did Bush do? invade iraq!! Yeah out of all the terrorist involved with 911 how many were an iraqi ZERO, But I guess you'll say"the worlds alot better without him" Do the research WE put Saddam in power"WE" the US.

And yes I did my tour in the military in southeast asia in the army, So ask yourself What tour of duty or branch of the service did you serve?
Thats why my Children WILL NOT GO TO Iraq. If you believe in the war You go!!!

[Blain]

Olberman is an ass. His career was floudering big-time and he saw an opportunity to become a big Bush-basher to help himself out. Too bad that one his best day, he's still way behind O'Reilly in the ratings.

[Hawk]

Rob . Where are you coming from ?

In another thread you say the Governor should listen to the people. In this thread you say the President should ignore the people.

So........listen to the people when it satisfies Rob.......and ignore the people when it satisfies Rob. I get it now.

The idiot put us in a war we don't belong in. And he will stay the course for ONE reason. Because he'll leave the mess for someone else to clean up. BTW, now that we're in this Bush quagmire, the only way I see out is to send in the troops and eliminate any and ALL resistance.

[RobTheDrummer]

Actually Bill, the people did want this war. It's just now all the sudden, people can't deal with anything so they flip on the issue. The war was passed by the same liberals who are now against it. To say that Bush was the only one that took us there is just ignorant.

[Blain]

Let's take a little trip back in time, and see what our Democratic friends were saying about Iraq...


One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.”
- President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

“Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.”
- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.”
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Securiity Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”
- Letter to President Clinton, signed bby Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

“Hussein has … chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.”
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

“There is no doubt that … Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.”
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by SSen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001

“We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.”
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons…”
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force– if necessary– to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.”
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years … We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

“He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do”
- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weap ons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members .. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.”
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

“Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation … And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction … So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real …”
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23, 2003

Come on Rob. Bush lied about WMA and the involvement of Iraq to 911 just to start a war. ANYONE who believed him (include yourself) was fooled ! That's a fact . It's a fact that the first week he was in the White House, he was looking for a reason to start a war.

Now that the people realize what an idiot lier he was / is (exclude yourself) , they want out.

Do you need to be reminded that he was forced to give up his WMD and NONE WERE FOUND. Not before the war nor after the war. As he told you.

[Bloodsong]

you should enlist if you're ready to sacrifice, rob.

[Blain]

Do you need to be reminded that he was forced to give up his WMD and NONE WERE FOUND. Not before the war nor after the war. As he told you.

You totally missed the point. How, I don't know. Maybe somebody should remind the democrats that they are practicing revisionist history. If Bush lied about WMDs, so did all of the people quoted above.

By the way...WMD's in Iraq? Found 'em!

* 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium
* 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons agents
* 17 chemical warheads containing cyclosarin (a nerve agent five times more deadly than sarin gas)
* Over 1,000 radioactive materials in powdered form meant for dispersal over populated areas
* Roadside bombs loaded with mustard and “conventional” sarin gas, assembled in binary chemical projectiles for maximum potency

And more. Why do people believe the "No WMDs" lie?

You're wrong again. He Had WMD. Ronald Reagan gave them to him. Everyone knows he had them. Then he defused them or got rid of them. Reagan thought he would use them to start a war against Iran. Instead he used them on his own people .

You guys are funny. Not real smart, but funny. Rather than argue using facts, you dodge the other way and try to change the subject. I have documented quotes and a verified list of WMDs, and you have...nothing. The "Bush Lied" crowd can't support their claims with facts, because none of the facts support the claim.

Hey, let's look at those quotes from all of those democrats again. Wow, Clinton, Kerry, Pelosi, Byrd...all of the left-wing poster kids. Hey, if Bush lied, so did they! Or maybe Bush was so clever, he somehow fooled them into saying these things, including those quotes from more than two years before he was president. No, wait - Bush is stupid, right? So he could never have manipulated all of those brilliant minds. Must have been a big conspiracy implemented by Karl Rove and the Shadow Government and the Masons and the Skull and Bones Society.

I have yet to check your facts. Where did these people get their facts from.

It's a fact that the CIA will say anything the President wants them to say. People have quit the CIA because of the way their reports were minipulated . that's a fact. Intelligence reports were "spun" to suit Bush by orders from Bush. What do you have to say about that ? THAT"S RIGHT and a fact. Bush minipulated the facts and too many believed him . He even fooled Democrats because no one would believe a President would do ANYTHING it takes to start a war.

Every report said Suddam had NOTHING to do with 911. Yet that was repeated by Bush as the reason we must go to war.

Besides, did you respond to the facts I gave........uh........I don't think so.

[Merge]

If a Democrat gets in the White House in 2008, see how long it takes for the terrorists to attack. I guess that will be Bush's fault, too.

[Capt. Grammar]

I am normally apolitical, so I will refrain from commenting about this administration's poor management. I will say that Bush has done a great injustice to the English language, and I cannot fathom how a man can be so involved with a piece of legislation such as No Child Left Behind when he cannot even speak proper English himself.

[Zinger]

I agree with ya hawk but your beating your head agaist the wall they just won't listen to reason maybe they should all read 1984 by orwell.

In all those quotes mentioned NOT ONE said lets invade,They were all inplying to keep the UN inspectors there.

Anyways I'm not backing any political party,but in all my years and administation Ive seen this one BY far is the worst this county has EVER seen.
