Does President Bush just ignore intelligence information that puts the war in Iraq in a negative light?.?

Question

Woodward's new book "State of Denial" and the latest reports by the Pentagon and other agencies paint an entirely different picture than the one W. has been showing us. Is it delusion or outright deceit? In the latest poll 60% of Iraqis approve of attacks on our troops. The vast majority want us out of Iraq within a year. This is something we will never hear from the current administration. Joeseph Goebbels would fit right in as the minister of misinformation.

Shy Angel: Actually, the last two books by Woodward have been well received by President Bush. This is why he has the almost unrestrained access to the Whitehouse that he has. If he was viewed as liberal with an agenda to sabotage this administration no one would talk to him. He has been remarkably neutral. Writing the truth doesn't make any one a liberal or a conservative. His agenda is to tell the truth and sell books.

I didn't watch 60 minutes. I watched football instead. Having served in one misquided war, which also was a civil war and based upon lies, I have paid my dues to say and thing whatever I damn well please. There were no terrorists in Iraq before we invaded. Saddam Hussein wanted no part of Al Qaeda or other groups like them. We have created more terrorists than we have killed or captured.

I meant think not thing. damn typos.

Answer 1

I think so, yeah - in fact I asked the same sort of question recently.

I can't stop myself from picturing it.

"Mr President?"
"Hey there Condi, how's it going?"
"Mr President, we need to talk."
"Sure thing. Want a cheeseburger?"
"No, sir...we have this report..."
"Report? Oh right, the report about the war, right? All the Intelligence guys behind us?"
"No sir."
"Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala"
"Sir?"
"Can't hear you! Me and the bears in bear-land can't hear you, you Islamic fascist! You're just trying to undermine freedom!"
"Sir, they say we're actually ENCOURAGING terror."
"That's a mistake! That's wrong! Hell, I can't even hear you anyway, so I don't know what you're saying, lalalalalalalalala..."

"Dick! He's gone again!"

Answer 2

awww, you watched 60 Min's too! good. misinformation, . the only example i can think of from tonight's interview was the blatant miss quote by Woodward. "top aids in the bush administration said that we need to leave Iraq when it is practical" then Woodward goes "see, even his top aid say we need to leave Iraq".

what happened to practical? well, i ruins is point if he leaves it in. no one wants to stay in Iraq, but if we don't finish the job then it all would have been pointless, regardless of whether or not it was the Right move to invade.

furthermore, so what about what he said. if there is anyone to blame for the increase in insurgency, its people like you. all this undermining the war effort by the media and people like you just fuels the terrorists.

"Who the hell are we to determine the next course of evolution for this people?"

"Jean-Luc, we're only talking about six hundred people."

"How many people does it take, Admiral, before it becomes wrong, hmmm? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million? How many people does it take, Admiral?"

How are we to know what goes on in the President's head? We put him in office, now we must support him. For all we really know, they are all just playing a political game.

I voted for George W. Bush, because he seemed like a normal person. Not a forgery like Kerry was. Never did Bush use some political bullshit comment to further his goals. It was always, 'here's what I think." Not 30 minutes of talking, without giving a real answer.

You will get your chance to vote again. Just wait a couple of years. Support the President we elected, and keep your political bullshit to yourself.

Answer 4

I love all these educated idiots who run there mouths without substance. All the information you get is what the media wants you to know, and what they use to sell their product.

I spent 3 years and 11 months in the military, served in Nam and came out in one piece. The information i had knowledge of was awesome and scary. What the media put out was trash compared to what was going on. What the media doesn't print could fill volumes.

If you just knew 10% of the information that flows across the Presidents desk, to include Clinton, Bush 1 and Reagan, it would get your attention. Its easy to be an arm-chair quarter-back and run your mouth, but you don't have nothing to back it up. I am just thankful that we have a commander in chief that isn't afraid to take the path less traveled and cares less about opinion polls. A president trying to play the polls got us beat in Viet Nam.

Answer 5

I agree with the person who says we've known this all along... a lot of us have been perfectly aware for a long time that Iraq makes us less safe... I personally believe they're turning it into a new, bigger Afghanistan with better infrastructure... something that could turn into a real threat.

My proposed solution: Regime change in the U.S., and putting the Iraqi government in charge of the antiterrorism strategy in Iraq, offering them troops and weapons and training but only what they ask for. If we passed the struggle onto them, they would accept some help from us I think, and certainly wouldn't approve attacks on us if we were there at their request.

Answer 6

everybody knew it was unlawful whilst Blair twisted it and Conservatives supported the conflict on the 2d. This was the view of Lib-Dems for in any respect cases. Lord Goldsmith admitted it became now not authorized on the 2d in spite of the undeniable fact that he became silenced Few top politicians like Robin prepare dinner, Clair short and Galloway attempt to protest in spite of the undeniable fact that each and every guy or woman, British fools listened to Blair. yet actuality would desire to prevail.

Answer 7

Bush has an agenda. He and his followers will not for some reason admit wrongdoing. I haven't read the book yet, but it does pique my interest. Maybe everyone ought to read it. On the followers part, I believe it is mostly delusion, on the current administration's part it is purely deceit.
Thank you for your service.

Answer 8

So if Woodward says so it HAS to be true? He wouldn't have any agenda at all right. I mean he's only the BIGGEST Lib on Planet earth NO AGENDA there right. So if everything Woodward saysis true does that mean Reps can use Rush Limbaugh as TRUTH in everything he says?

Answer 9

Bush had intelligence? The truth will come out, but too late to do anything about it. Wasn't Kissinger also one of Nixon's advisors during Vietnam? Sometimes History does repeat, they did it once before, and are doing it again, misleading us.

Answer 10

You should remember that the one's really running this country are George W. and his father and former Pres. Bush. Please know that W's dad worked in the CIA. I think he was even the director. Also, Rumsfeld, a handful of generals, and a few retired people that worked in CIA, FBI, and congressional offices. I don't think that George W. is in charge as much as he thinks. He is certainly influenced more to make decisions. I doubt he makes any decisions without talking to his group of "consultants". Just my opinion.
