Seventy-four American troops have died in Iraq in October, likely to become the deadliest month for U.S. forces in nearly two years.
Evidently, no-one could figure out why more Americans are coming home to their families in caskets.
Divine Leader gave this astounding and revealing statement...
“One of the reasons you’re seeing more casualties is the enemy is active and so are our troops,” Bush said in a brief interview with The Associated Press.

Nobody said it was going to easy, or cheap to fight Terrorism, but I guess we could do what you seem to be advocating, CUT AND RUN when things don't go the way you think they should. We can bring the Troops home and then the Terrorists will be coming right behind them!!! Of course you have some other ideas that will defeat the Terrorists. Please tell us what YOU propose and how we can avoids an other Terrorist attack here in the USA at the same time!!!

I think a lot of people who complain about the president must be forgetting who the alternatives were during both elections.
That, or they like Al Gore or John Kerry.
I wonder if a lot of it isn't the nation's collective weariness with mediocre leadership. Sure, I'd prefer a well spoken, knowledgeable, confident, quick-thinking, clear-headed guy at the controls. I also want someone in charge that comes by his money legitimately, by good old crooked Capitalism, instead of ponzi schemes and the like. I'd prefer another Ike, or Ronnie, or TR, but those are in verrry short supply. I'd even tolerate another Harry S.!

Oooooh, touchy, touchy! Strikes a nerve to have your precious Dumbya made fun of, aye? :lol:
"Cut and run"... hmmm where have I... Oh yeah! The tired old GOP talking point! The one they use to describe anyone who doesn't agree with them as cowards and traitors and such. Ha ha! Give me a break! :lol:
"Terrorists will be coming right behind them!!!" In what? Rowboats? Rubber rafts? Come on, man, enough with the fear tactics. Bush has made us way more unsafe by destabilizing the Middle East and creating a breeding/training ground for Al Qaeda. Worst president in history.
I feel sorry for anyone who voted for this idiot, especially the ones that fell for it twice! But hell, everybody makes mistakes! :lol: But enough is enough, now, y'know? The more you continue to defend the indefensible, the deeper you sink yourself. Just admit you were wrong already and get over it! :lol:
You want to hear my plan but your hero Shrub has no plan of his own. "Stay the course" is no plan, it's just meaningless rhetoric. Things are getting worse in Iraq by the hour, and this guy has NOTHING! Even the terrorists and insurgents know enough to adapt new strategies, fer chrissakes! :wacko:
No offense ya'll, really! Just my opinion, y'know? :lol: :D

Like I alluded to in my previous post, if we were to have another election with Bush vs. Kerry or Bush vs. Gore, I'd vote Bush without batting an eye.

Blender, you can say that all you want, but it's beyond me why anybody would vote for Bush again after knowing the consequences. I believe you are an intelligent person, so I'd be willing to bet that if you had to do it over again, once you were in the privacy of the voting booth you might do it differently. But you still might not want to admit it! :)
I've heard all the BS the GOP has smeared Gore and Kerry with, but either one of those guys would have been ten times the president we have now. Of course, we'll never know, will we? :blink:
Or will we? :o :lol: ;)

I'm not kidding. You couldn't pay me to vote for either of those two.

Just look at the company Kerry keeps... Ted Kennedy and Hillary for staters.
And, no, I will not let this go:

And yes, I have a tendency to judge people by the company they keep.
I would never vote for someone claiming to have invented the Internet or being an expert on Global Warming, or someone who seemed to have gone to SEA to get his ticket punched for medals to fill out his professional resume'. I haven't liked most politicians since JFK, even with his hijinks considered, and consider his surviving brother's career as a slap in JFK's face and an attack on what Jack felt was important in this country. IMHO at least.

I don't pretend to know what they do in their personal lives. Many times when you see a picture/footage of one, at least one of the others is present, though.
Yeah, here's some of jolly bunch of assholes

Would you vote for someone who dodged the Vietnam war by having his Daddy get him into the Texas Air National Guard "Champagne" unit? And then didn't show up for his duty assignments? Or someone who was arrested for drunk driving? How about someone who "seemed" to have a history of cocaine use?
It's funny how these things get overlooked when it comes to who ya vote for... :lol:
Thread drift alert! :confused: Nevermind...its answering the helm again...
No, I wouldn't, if all that information was available and verified before the election. I really shut down when the mud starts flying during a campaign. I tend to be skeptical of stuff like that, there is so much taken out of context and just plain half-truths flying around. I count mudslinging against someone as much as shirking. Politicians: So many to dislike, so few to vote for...

Ok, more Proof of Bush's "Superior" Intellect:
"This morning my administration released the budget numbers for fiscal 2006. These budget numbers are not just estimates; these are the actual results for the fiscal year that ended February the 30th." --George W. Bush, on the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, Washington, D.C., Oct. 11, 2006.
"One has a stronger hand when there's more people playing your same cards." --George W. Bush, on holding six-party talks with North Korea, Washington, D.C., Oct. 11, 2006
"I will not withdraw, even if Laura and Barney are the only ones supporting me." --George W. Bush, talking to key Republicans about Iraq, as quoted by Bob Woodward
"I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is -- my point is, there's a strong will for democracy." --George W. Bush, interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Sept. 24, 2006 (Watch video clip)
"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." --George W. Bush, interview with CBS News' Katie Couric, Sept. 6, 2006
"And I suspect that what you'll see, Toby, is there will be a momentum, momentum will be gathered. Houses will begat jobs, jobs will begat houses." --George W. Bush, talking to reporters along the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast, Gulfport, Miss., Aug. 28, 2006
"I would guess, I would surmise that some of the more spectacular bombings are done by al Qaeda suiciders." --George W. Bush, on violence in Iraq, Washington, D.C., Aug. 21, 2006
We'd all prefer a President that could at least express himself in his native language. I'd rather not draw conclusions about a person's intelligence based on how well they speak. Thats rather politically incorrect, and it's not nice to make fun of someone's afflictions. :unsure: Dubya sure seems to lack firm handlers normally found near the President to guide him away from gaffs, doesn't he?:(

What more could they do, short of just answering questions and speaking for him?

The World Today - Friday, 20 October , 2006 12:26:00
Reporter: Kim Landers
ELEANOR HALL: In the United States the White House is playing down the President's remarks which acknowledged a parallel between the Iraq conflict and the US war in Vietnam.
Yesterday George W. Bush said a newspaper columnist "could be right" in comparing the surge in violence in Iraq with the Tet offensive in Vietnam, which is regarded as swinging the public against that war almost four decades ago.
But today the White House is insisting that the President was not suggesting that Iraq is now at that same stage.
...
KIM LANDERS: A day earlier when asked if he agreed with a newspaper columnist that the violence was the "jihadist equivalent of the Tet offensive" in Vietnam, he offered this response.
GEORGE BUSH: He could be right, there's certainly a stepped up level of violence and we're heading into an election.
KIM LANDERS: The President has long resisted comparisons to Vietnam. Communist forces lost the Tet offensive, but it was a major propaganda victory and is considered a turning point for American public opinion against the war in Vietnam.
But White House spokesman Tony Snow says the President was not signalling that Iraq had reached the same turning point.
TONY SNOW: We do not think that there's been a flipover point, but more importantly from the standpoint of the government and the standpoint of this administration, we are going to continue pursuing victory aggressively.
And the President was making a point that he's made before, which is that terrorists try to exploit pictures, and try to use the media as conduits for influencing public opinion in the United States.
...
-------------
Let Bush be Bush, I say.
He's done much better before. It just appears on the outside that the previous efforts of slacked off or something. Of course, I'm basing that on what some media type thinks I need to see, too.:angry:

Still don't see any ideas that would make the situation in Iraq better, just more of the same drivel of Bush Bashing and everything he does is wrong!!! Please give use the ideas you are obviously holding back!!! No more ideas ??? Then it's just more of the same crap you've been shoveling like all the other Liberals!!! "Bush Bad" anybody else "Good"!!! Crap!!!
Just my opinion to Boogerman!!!

There have been plenty of ideas posted over the last months.
Let's be clear about one thing: 9/11 was a Pearl Harbor type event, but Iraq was no Japan. The Iraq debacle is squarely the Bush administration's fault, because they refused to listen to anyone outside their little circle, before the invasion or since. Because they have been operating with self-imposed blinders on the entire time, it is totally to be expected that things would be going badly. You say there are no ideas from Bush critics? There have been, many, but the problem is that the Bush administration has made it all too clear over the years that they do not give a damn what the rest of America thinks.
Yes that makes me angry, it makes a lot of people angry, and for very good reason. Look what their myopic, arrogant and misguided policies have brought us. It did not have to be this way. There were better ways to deal with Saddam. Iraq was not a top priority in 03, Al Qaeda was. Yet Bush rushed us into that war ill-prepared, a blunder for which we, and Iraqis, will suffer for decades.
Doesn't appear the current command structure took the lessons of GW1 to heart. That was handled pretty well, and I would have thought maybe it would be a model for future such actions, but I guess the personalities handling GW2 have to do it their way. And the people on the line end up paying for it first. I don't see Iraq as a critical place to put the hurt on Al-Queda, either.
According to Bob Woodward, the 43rd president said he did not consult the 41st prior to the Iraq war, preferring instead to consult a "higher father."
It's obvious that Bush has seriously mishandled the occupation. In fact he has ignored truisms of Military strategy that have been well known since at least the Roman Empire and still continues along the same losing course. He simply seems to be incapable of adjusting to the circumstances. It's possible that we should never have gone to Iraq-I dunno as i'm sure that a lot of the considerations have never been made public. The question is-now that we're there and the situation is as it is, what do we do? The Republicans haven't been forthcoming with any ideas, but I haven't heard any from the Dems either. If either side has an answer it's time to put it forth and stop whining.
