If President Bush works with members of both parties and comes up with a good solution to Iraq, do you think most people will forgive him? I don't really think he's had bad intentions at all, just listening to the wrong people (Rumsfield, namely) for too long. If he gets his act together then he's cool with me.

Fellows, I actually am a Republican (very conservative values) and I do think Bush has done a good job in many things, just made mistakes in others. I mean he has has the courage to do what he thinks is right. If he's willing to be open to others' ideas, I'll give a full five-thumbs up.

He could very well be forgiven if something positive comes out of it. Although it's a far-fetched wish. I, too, don't hold as many grudges as 60% of Americans do. And I'm not even a Republican. I like to believe that he is just unaware and pretty much doing what he thinks is best with the little knowledge that he really has (about many things)...
But, hey. History judges us all.

Using the Rummy for a scape-goat is just one more dirty deal.
He may be forgiven by man but probably not by God. The "man" is evil.
At least the people pulling his strings can read;
"Beware the leader who beats the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils and hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
- Julius Caesar
As a show of "good faith" the bush league is using the provisions of the "patriot" act and the torture bill of 2006 to start gathering personal information on their most outspoken supporters on blogs, discussion boards, sites like this one. These people will be classed as terrorist supporters and subject to arrest and detainment should that seem profitable. One of the punishments being considered most closely is indenture in Saudi Arabia. If you end up there, better hope you are ugly and strong.

There will always be people who will bad mouth him. There are people that only vote and voice favor along party lines. Hard core democrats and such. I have to agree with you that he listened to the wrong people, but I also think he was the only option for president in the last two elections. Everybody else was pretty pathetic.

I honestly believe that the people who feel President Bush "owes" them an apology for doing everything to the absolute best of his ability to protect and secure their safety are the ones who owe the President an apology for even asking for one in the first place.
Perhaps it is some of his predecessors who did nothing while the Islamic radicals plotted, planned and carried out the terrorist attacks on our soil that might consider an apology is in order.

Like other presidents and dictators responsible for the death of thousands, using the power given by his position, he cannot be forgiven. What is forgiveness after all? your own personal belief about what he has done?. Let's the facts talk by themselves. He ignored the information about Irak, and she conducted a war without any other fundament than his ...(complete the dots) mind. I do not forgive people who act senseless. Really bad someone like him is leading the world...

Boy have you been snowed.
You don't think he had bad intentions, it's all somebody else's fault? Listen, the guy has been commander in chief for six years. He picked his own advisers, and has ultimate responsibility for his actions no matter what anybody else tells him. The majority of the things he's done have not been for patriotic glory, protection of the US, or any other noble cause -- they've been done to keep himself in power, to enrich the big companies that finance him, and for other completely selfish motives. He's a liar, manipulator of the constitution, and hypocritical christian who kills people for profit while professing to love jesus.
I don't care what "good" he does once forced to by an opposition congress, I will never forgive him for what he's done to my country and to the brave soldiers who followed his orders. I will only be glad when he's out of office and can never, ever be president again.

He should be ok in the mass media/public arena if nothing else happens bad in Iraq

Rove is the evil genius that needed to be fired.
Sure Rumsfield was bad but he is a scapegoat, Rove is the one that is still actively plotting against freedom and personal liberty.

I would love to see that happen. I would love to see the rhetoric toned down, and an acknowledgement that we are all American citizens who are doing our best for this country, Republicans and Democrats alike.
