Why do liberals say, "Bush makes more terrorists" when he is, in fact, killing them overseas?

Question

Is this just another example of twisted liberal logic?

Answer 1

Liberals say anything my friend.

When you have the IQ of a brick, you cannot possibly begin to comprehend geopolitics on a global scale. That's why it's easier for the liberal base to run out into the streets protesting, all laced up on their weed and nose candy than to actually have a sophisticated discussion.

I'm surprised Jimmy Carter didn't chain himself to Saddam before he was hung.

Liberals have ruined this country far worse than Bush ever could have.

Answer 2

No...this is twisted logic (pulled from one of the answers to this question)

"For every one Bush kills, ten rise to take his place. Can you comprehend this?"

If this person had a basic understanding of math, this means with a ratio of 10:1 they will run out of people much less terrorists in about a year. Therefore, this war is not just winnable, it can be a complete and total victory. So, the plan is simple - stay the course.

Isn't this the plan Bush put forth?

Answer 3

after reading these responses-- i have come to a logical opinion.... In my mind-- there are only a certain percentage of any people that can actually become terrorists--- while the US's war on terror in Iraq NOT (let me repeat NOT for the idiots who actually say Bush is killing the people over there) Bush's war is creating more terrorists--- Iraqis are killing more Iraqis that US soldiers.... as well as the 30,000 civilians mentioned in previous answer. Also, the US government does not kill Iraqis civilians --- Crazy Dem websites seem to think that if anyone dies in Iraq, it is the US fault and that we killed him/her. and from previous answer "Bush is sending our women and children to Iraq for his own financial benefit" ---
A) Cheney has made a lot of money on this deal which i do not like --- not Bush
B) what company, other than halliburton, could do it
C) the US military is completely voluteer.

Answer 4

Rumsfled wrote a now famous memo in which he said "Are our policies in the region creating terrorists faster than we can kill or capture them?" The democrats would argue that the answer is yes. It's not twisted, it's not a liberal idea, and it makes perfect logical sense.

Hornets are always hornets, terorists BECOME terrorists usually out of revenge for the death of a family member, and certainly not the way bush suggests that they saw our bill of rights and how much freedom we have and instantly lost their minds and decided to attack America.

Answer 5

Lets imagine that another country decided to invade and occupy the US because they thought our leader was not a good man, or that our system of government was not stable enough. Lets then imagine that in the process of trying to maintain order and put down an insurgency hundreds of thousands of people are killed. Lets say your family was among those killed, what would your reaction be? I know I would seek revenge against the invaders any way possible.

Estimates set the Iraqi civilian casualties at around 50-60 thousand. For everyone killed there are family members who are looking for someone to blame, and whether fair or not, the US is the most convenient target.

Before we invaded there was no evidence of terrorist connections in Iraq.

I also forgot to mention Abu Gharaib which was a sickening display of the lack of respect for the people we are supposedly trying to help. If an occupying force were doing that to fellow americans we would rain hell fire on them.

Boston Globe - July 17, 2005

WASHINGTON -- New investigations by the Saudi Arabian government and an Israeli think tank -- both of which painstakingly analyzed the backgrounds and motivations of hundreds of foreigners entering Iraq to fight the United States -- have found that the vast majority of these foreign fighters are not former terrorists and became radicalized by the war itself.

Sept. 2006 - Paul Pillar, who produced National Intelligence Estimates on terrorism during his years at the CIA, this latest estimate answers a question Rumsfeld asked in an internal memo nearly three years ago: Is the Muslim world turning out terrorists faster than the United States can kill or capture them?

Pillar tells CBS News national security correspondent David Martin that the recent NIE report answers Rumsfeld's question.

"With particular reference to the impact of the Iraq war, the unfortunate answer is yes, we are creating them faster than we capture or kill them," Pillar, who is a former national intelligence officer for the Near East and South Asia, says.

Answer 6

They say that because it is true. When we attacked Iraq Al Queda wasn't in that country - Hussein wouldn't allow a group he couldn't control to set up camp in his country. Now they are crawling all over Iraq. There have been reports from every intelligence agency in the world that the numbers of terrorists who are aligned w/Al Queda, as well as those who have set up under a different name, have been growing exponentially since we invaded Iraq. Because the Muslim world in general is furious with the United States, and with George Bush, it has been easier to recruit young people to their cause. It's well known that terrorists have increased in numbers, and they now have cells all over the Middle East, as well as in Europe. Many more than before we attacked Iraq. It makes perfect sense, and isn't really a liberal observation alone. Intelligence agencies know it and have said so, here in the States and abroad, and the military acknowledges it is true as well. I think Bush and his Administration probably expected it, and he himself acknowledges that terrorist numbers have risen dramatically. I don't really understand the position of those who don't want to believe it. They take it as a personal slam against Bush, which is their prerogative of course. But no matter where the blame is laid, it is fact and not conjecture.

Answer 7

Oh boy, it is so simple yet so complicated. I think the confusion begins with those who associate Iraq with 9/11. They had nothing to do with each other. So, attacking a country under false pretenses and taking the fight to a place other than where it should be (Afghanistan) only worsens the situation. Killing an Iraqi insurgent is not killing a terrorist. If we keep insisting that all insurgents are terrorists you keep giving them more reasons to hate us. Don't you understand any of this? Even Bush conceded last night that the situation is worse than it was? You must listen to that right wing radio propaganda to be so misinformed.

Answer 8

There is some truth to the claims of the libs but with that being said think of it this way: When people in neighborhoods in the US stand up against gangs doesn't it make the gangs retaliate? With that in mind and with the mentality of a vast number of liberals shouldn't we just turn our neighborhood over to the gangs and move on to a new home? I will not be intimidated into giving in to terrorist of any kind. I don't want my government to be intimidated into giving in to murdering terrorist because they recruit more when we stand against them. If it becomes a fight to death then I would rather die free than to die under the rule of extremest dictators.

Answer 9

It's actually very bad, uninformed and hateful logic. Do you ever wonder what kind of person it takes to actually say something like this, not only making themselves look dumb but mean at the same time?

Terrorists have had training grounds in the Middle East since Bush was a teenager, if not longer. He didn't cause any of it.

Answer 10

Yep, look at the all Islamic terrorists Bush created while he was Governor of Texas:

Athens Embassy Attack
First WTC bombing
Kenya and Tanzania Embassy Attacks
Khobar Towers Bombing
Dragging Dead US Soldiers around in Samolia
Attack on U.S.S. Cole
Marines Barracks Bombing in Lebanon (Oh wait, that was even before he was governor! Wow, Bush has amazing influence even when he's not in politics!!)
