Is it time to rally behind George Bush?

Question

What did he do wrong? Saddam Hussein WAS trying to get WMDs, so invading Iraq was probably a good thing. He tortured terrorists, which is good. So what has he done wrong? So whatever he has done wrong, shouldn't we rally to support him instead of defeating him at home and doing the terrorists' job?

Answer 1

I admire anyone who sticks with a friend who is down. You should be congratulated for loyality, even if there is another side to the story.

Answer 2

Getting Saddam was a good thing. Getting terrorists is a good thing. But was it worth it to get Saddam which started a civil war that will do more harm to America/US troops than Saddam could ever have done to the US? And has the presence of US troops in Iraq over the last 3 years created more terrorist they've killed? The answer has to be yes because they're weren't any terrorists in Iraq before the US invaded. The short term 1st year of the Iraq war were an big success but the long term consequences will be a complete disaster for US and they are going to last a LONG time.

Answer 3

Deposing a sitting dictator without having any kind of strategy for filling the power void was the single stupidest thing EVER done by a US President. Seriously, deciding to hit that evening's performance at the Ford theater was simply bad timing compared to this brain-dead maneuver. Don't they teach History at Yale?

Even if we don't leave right away, there is no way we can stop the situation from deteriorating to civil war -- Pissed off Shiites (the majority who have been held down for so many years) against Sunni (who just lost their sugar daddy and still have that taste of power in their mouths). The Shiites will dominate the Sunnis, which will lead the other Sunni governments in the area (Saudi, Egypt, etc) to step in to help. Well, you just know that Hizbollah, Iran, and the other Shiites in the region aren't going to let that happen.

Now you have all these powers in the region killing themselves even more than they were.

I'm not going to "get behind" the brains behind all this. Saddam was contained and could have remained so until someone was ready to take his place. Bush has placed the entire world at risk, and has made the US not one scintilla safer.

Answer 4

WHAT DID HE DO WRONG?!?!?
The list is so bloody long, I won't even be able to hit the high lights of the low life.
Let’s start with purchasing not one, but two elections.
Conning those idiot evangelists into supporting him, then carefully arranging to look the other way, whilst their agents buried the known plans for 9/11 in bureaucracy, so their dream of Armageddon could commence. Conspiring to use a dog wagging holy war for oil, to pilfer the wealth of this nation, in thousands of different ways, each one, a treasonous offence. Murdering millions of our grandchildren, and robbing blind millions more, by eliminating the budget and powers of the EPA, towing the Grand Oil Party’s official propaganda line; that global warming is a hoax. Arranging the eventual sale of the USA, to China. Conspiring via earmarks and other forms of bribery, for continuos rubber stamping of the worst legislation ever passed by any reincarnation of this government, each one of those, an act of treason. The entire rest of the world knows that he George W. Bush, is the worst terrorist the world has seen since Hitler, and the only thing more frightening is the puppet master; his own VP! Every one knows that’s what makes it hard to simply fire the liar, because then worse steps up and says martial law so fast it would snap your neck.

I wish I could say that the worst the traitors did was destroy the Constitution of the former United States Of America. Oh no, bad as that is, I can’t say that’s the worst. I cannot even claim that their worst crime is indenturing generations of Americans as slaves of China. Nope. The worst is continuing the acceleration of global warming, thereby increasing the probability of extinguishing the whole of humanity.

Hitler would be so proud of this administrations war on human kind.

Amazingly naive person; the rest of the planet knows where the most evil happenings of the world are coming from, the oval office.

Why don’t you?

Answer 5

No, I will not rally behind him. He disappointed me with how he got into office in the first place. Asking federal courts for an injunction to stop the re-counts by arguing that the system of re-counts was a violation of the Equal Protection Clause was so stupid and embarrassing that I won't support him no matter what else he does. Torturing terrorists is a good thing? Let me outta here.

Answer 6

Sadam Hussein HAD WMDs. However the UN told him to destroy them. Which he did. There are plenty of nutjobs out there who wish they had WMDs, why pick on Sadam? Could it be that Bush had a grudge against him for trying to kill his daddy? Could the reason that people do not support Bush is because they believe he is an unstable man who wants to be in Iraq for his own imperialistic oil gaining reasons - and not at all for the safety of the American People - because he LIED TO YOU ALL about there being a "grave and present danger" in Sadam Hussein.

The only thing we need to get behind are the soldiers there, because they do not deserve to fight a war that is completely unwinnable, led by a man with no strategy other than an intangible "victory", a war based on a complete lie which puts them at a daily risk of injury or death.

Answer 7

no. he manipulated the people in his quest to get a war that he wanted which had nothing to do with anything other than US strategic interests in the ME.

defeating Bush is not the terrorists' job, it is the right of every US citizen to throw out elected officials if they are incompetent.

Answer 8

Nope, it will never again be time to rally behind the dunce

Answer 9

civilian casualties in Iraq are in the hundreds of thousands, that includes woman and children, but I guess that's good too, I hope that W gets exactly what he deserves

Answer 10

Where have you been?

He admitted to launching a pre-emptive strike against Iraq because he thought they "might" do something. If every country did that there wouldn't be anything or anyone left on the planet.
