Defend George W Bush if you can?

Question

I want the conservative sympathisers to convince the majority here that we have got the President wrong. Just name three things that he has done during his presidency to enhance America's place in the world. DON'T SAY IRAQ, because we know that's not true.

Answer 1

One, I'm not a "conservative sypathiser". Two, you have already played your hand by identifying yourself with a majority which MUST mean that you are a Democrat or mistakenly believe that our country is a democracy. Is your reliance on the "majority" necessary for you to formulate and justify your questions?
Three, by placing restrictions on and making pre-judgements regarding the "truth" of Iraq, you show yourself to be intellectually dishonest.

Here are your three things, for what little regard you will pay to them:

Exempted food from unilateral trade sanctions and embargoes.

Signed the LARGEST nuclear arms reduction in world history with Russia.

Committed US funds to purchase medicine for millions of men and women and children now suffering with AIDS in Africa

For the record, I am not a Republican. I am a Libertarian.

Answer 2

What's there to defend?

In all honesty, Bush could have made the opposite decision in each situation all through his tenure as president, and you'd still be here whining about something.

I challenge you to look back to an event in history that you feel was important in changing a country or influencing the world in a positive way. Pick any event. I guarantee you that regardless of the one you select, it can be shown that there were was a lot of dissension and negative press on the issue. You're never going to please everyone.

Just a fact that you have to accept and move on.

Answer 3

1. Liberating Afghanistan from terrorists control.

2. Strengthing America's economic power in the world and expanding our alliances in Eastern Europe.

3. We can't say Iraq because??? Is it because BUSH did something good in Iraq? I will say IRAQ because in all honesty Bush did something good!

Answer 4

Well, he was elected president. He got rid of Hussein. And he's about to get Bin Laden. And he's got a sound plan to deal with illegal aliens.

If all you "humanizers" would jump on the band wagon and support our revered president, he could get the job done!

Answer 5

You call yourself the majority when the President was elected twice in spite of your self-proclamation.

What you claim to "know" is without merit ... but I'll give it a pass as your readers will recognise it without my argument.

Fortunately our President doesn't need to be defensive as he has the foresight to take the offensive.

Here are 3 of a multitude.

1.Much of his accomplishments are immeasurable, as with national, and world security. It's difficult to acknowledge events that never happened thanks to his preemptive moves. But I'll certainly list it as a great accomplishment


2.Rather than pretend to be a friend to minorities...by tossing them subsidies in hopes of winning their votes. His appointments are based on qualification ...many of whom happen to be minorities.

3. He has brought world attention and scrutiny and in some cases action to the threat of Taliban Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, and... the one I'm not supposed to mention

Answer 6

OMG somebody said FREEDOM and the Patriot Act in the same sentence... LOL
