First you start off by saying Bush was not at risk by being in Iraq and then you end by implying we need more troops in Iraq to make it safe for our people there. Then since you believe Bush just follows the polls you are implying that you believe that the polls must say people think soldiers lives are secondary and also that no one wants more troops in Iraq even if that would make it safer for our people there. I do not think I even need to add anything else as your answer speaks volumes about where you are coming from.
you are beyond help if you dont think flying in to baghdad airport is a personal risk. multiply that times 100 if you happen to be bush, the best target possible for terrorists.
Since Bush lied to take us to war with Iraq in the first place, when it was NO threat to America, he should not only be turned away next year, but he should be tried for treason and be punished as traitors normally are. Since you defend this treasonous piece of filth, you are just a right wing nut who will back anything Bush does. That makes your opinion irrelevent.
Actually, your comments should be directed to TE. I responded to a specific slight at H Clinton - which apparently, was okay with all of you, double standard that all right wingers have. No, not Bill - as you well know, confirmed abortions have been financed by current and former republican house members. To their credit, right wing men of high morals Henry Hyde and Dan Burton decided to let their mistresses bear their children. I don't believe I mentioned GWB, nor were any of my comments directed toward him. Try the right wing junkie, the republican house and neo-confederate turned war profiteer dick cheney. Bush is okay - he just needs a new set of friends.
I would ask here what evidence you have that Iraq was threatening America in any way, but since there is nothing to indicate that, it would be a waste of time. It is still unclear what the real reason was that Bush invaded Iraq. We can speculate, but it is unknown at this time. What is clear is that he told any lie necessary to scare enough Americans into supporting it. Lying to invade another country is the moral equivalent of treason. It is also a war crime.
Cottonbowel Bla Bla we have heard this all before without any proof from you. This thread started about Bush's visit to Iraq you made comments that cannot exist in reality and your defense has been to move off topic and go back to Bush being the Devil. You remind me of Bobby Boucher's mom in The Waterboy.
Re: Cottonbowel Like I said, it would be a waste of time to ask you to give reasons why we are in Iraq, since there are none factual that Bush gave before the war. He gave nothing but lies.
cb 66, iraq invaded kuwait. when we liberated kuwait, iraq agreed to many things in order that we did continue on and invade baghdad. else that war would have not ended. when they violate these agreements, the war resumes. we could have taken iraq in 91. but we didnt, because they promised various things to end the war. when they dont deliver, we have no choice but to take over, or lose our credibility. if you told your child you would let them be un-grounded if they quit smoking pot, and then they continued to smoke pot would you not ground them?
Fine, except that isn't the justification advanced by the administration to the citizens. I can think of lots of good reasons - the administration's reason, however, was spurious
