Would your support for the war increase if?

Question

Some people believe Bush and his cabal are just a bunch of greedy thieves and liars.
I wonder if Haliburton and Cheney were not such an item in this war, if they hadn't both been oil men, if they had been constitutional lawyers for example instead of oil men, do you think that you could trust them a little bit more and maybe give them the benefit of the doubt?
If so, with Bush's poll ratings so low and so many people against the war, which undermines the troops as they say, wouldn't the resignation of Bush and Cheney do a lot to increase our support for the war by giving us someone we could trust?
Would that mean that Bush was actually the one undermining the troops?
What would Bush have to do to prove his honesty and integrity to win back the trust of the American people?
If he had our trust couldn't he be a better leader and a more effective commander in chief?
Richard Nixon resigned when people thought he was a crook and he couldn't govern. Shouldn't Bush do the same?

Answer 1

he is a man without a lil bit of honesty and integrity he is such a monster just a Coward lil baby every move will scare him believe it or not I'm damn sure that 11Sept was by him,,, he made full play to make it the beginning of Afghanistan invade and Iraq later.. there is no real threat against the US just bush makes a such collective fear ..... I feel it will come a day that this damn man will be assassinated .. just unjust man.... he sent troops to Iraq to invade and rape the girls and make scandalous in the prisons .. what a coooool reputation .... no clean troop no clean president coz iraq was in good case before but after it came death place.... know do know why this man worthy to killed.... I pray that someday come and hear about his demise ...poor americans you believe every s•h•i•t this man sayin'.... I'll celebrate

Answer 2

Richard Nixon did NOT resign when people THOUGHT he was a crook, he resigned when they PROVED he was a crook - there's a very, very big difference there.
A difference that seems to be overlooked when people talk of Bush being a "thief and a liar" .

It is not Bush who is "undermining the troops" - not by any stretch of the imagination - it is people who are asking questions, based on false premises, such as your's.

America is a great country, and you are free to express your opinions - but they will not be respected when they are promoting an agenda of hate and innuendo.

Answer 3

Speakeasy had a terrific answer. He said what I have been preaching all along. The public has lost trust in GW because of the biased news media reporting all the negatives and very few positives. The public is very gullible and after hearing these negative reports over & over, they begin to think that "where there's smoke, there's fire. I think GW does have the trust of the military. I'll be very surprised if that is not fact. Bush's term is up in a short while. Maybe he will not need to quit. He does not strike me as a quitter.

Answer 4

I'm afraid you have all missed the big picture. Iraq is not the next front on the war against fanatical muslims. Iran is. I have two sons 3 and 8 and I am for the draft. We must eradicate this son of a ***** in Iran and all the mullahs on whose behalf their President speaks.
The war on terror will last our lifetimes and if you are not prepared for some level of sacrafice, the you might as well prepare for tears and tombstones of ones you love. They are breeding these maniacs left and right throughout the Middle East at such young ages that it will be decades before we face them in the battle field. Frankly, and bluntly, I am for killing the root, if we can not sway their opinions to the light of civility.

Answer 5

clearly, because if the deaths are severe then it helps there rivalry that that's a quagmire, and our boys are being slaughtered. With the very undeniable reality that there are decrease than 3000 deaths at this aspect. it is the least deadly conflict we've ever fought. There footing has no foothold. Thats why they use the milinia deaths as a focal aspect. i.e the only thousandth 2000th next stands proud because the 3000th demise. those sound actual wonderful and it creates a experience of awe of their spirits, a experience of euphoria that provides them rationalization for his or her exhistance.

Answer 6

All too often, 'trust' is based on compelling, emotional rhetoric at the podium. Bush can't do that. All he can do is plainly and simply tell us what is going on.

Hitler was able to earn a lot more 'trust' than Bush ever will. The emotional performances of Howard Dean, John Kerry and others are designed to do the same.

It is a sad fact that people 'trust' those who push their emotional buttons more than those who give them the dry, boring details.

To make things worse, Leftists use age-old 'agit-prop' to generate distrust. Negativity. Angst. It works on a substantial percentage of the population. That's why they do it. It is almost as impossible for Bush to overcome that as it was for Jews, Christians, Expressionist Artists and Gypsies to overcome the negative agit-prop aimed at them by Hitler.

Leftists try to generate so much negativity and dis-trust that the President can no longer do his job. That is how they gain power for themselves - through deception and negative propaganda.

I respect that Bush is determined to do his job no matter what the Left throw at him.

Answer 7

Only stupid people wouldnt support a way because of the president. It wouldnt matter if the president was my best friend, if I dont support something, the man who is in charge will not change my mind. If the president changed, I wouldnt be all excited and patriotic about the way.

Answer 8

Give him another 2 years. That'll be the only resignation he would agree to and no my support will never increase cause it's not even there.

Answer 9

My support is actually there, but I think we need to lay pressure on the iraqis to actually do something for themselves. It's been 4 years, and they can get a decent police force or a reasonable army put together to support us.

Add to that no politician there seems to be even remotely effective. That damned place deserved Saddam.

Answer 10

I would support the war on terror if we attacked the Jewnited States capital and Israel.
