I don't think it's so much Bush hate as it is that they hate his actions.
Also, when we went to war originally, it was for terrorism, for Al-Quaida, for Bin Laden. Unfortunately, all that has NOTHING to do with Iraq.
Yes, Iraq has problems, but that's not where the threat to the US came from. Way before the war, the US was in bed with them...yes, in bed with them. Who supplied the gases he killed the kurds with?
In retrospect, Hussein was NOT charged for those actions, and wasn't that the whole point of finding him?
People were duped because the average American can't tell the difference between Afghanistan and Iraq.....and it the end of the investigation, it turned out it was IraN we should have been after.
If we can't win a war with a country like Iraq, we are in no way prepared for North Korea and Iran who actually have nukes, and aren't afraid to use them.
Our military may be strong, but when people gain up on us it is not as strong as you might think.
International relations are very important and we need to go back and rebuild our relationships before it's too late.
While we are at it, stop that embargo on Cuba already. Cubans blame the US more than they blame Castro.
We look terrible, I tell you!

But what Bush believes in is not right,
The United Nations charter has a provision which was agreed to by the United States formulated by the United States in fact, after World War II. It says that from now on, no nation can use armed force without the permission of the U.N. Security Council. They can use force in connection with self-defense, but a country can't use force in anticipation of self-defense. Regarding Iraq, the last Security Council resolution essentially said, “Look, send the weapons inspectors out to Iraq, have them come back and tell us what they've found -- then we'll figure it out from there.” The U.S. was impatient, and decided to invade Iraq -- which was all pre-arranged of course. So, the United States went to war, in violation of the charter. Making the war in Iraq an “illegal” war.
Also the Bush administration has out right committed quite a few crimes. To be specific....
President George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfield and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States, by the following acts:
1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of hundereds of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.
2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.
3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.
4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.
5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.
6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnaping, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions on governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.
8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.
9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."
10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.
11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.
12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.
13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.
14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.
15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.
16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."
17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.
18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.
19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.
20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.
Also we must consider this....
It's now well established that George W. Bush never showed up for National Guard duty for a period of approximately one year, possibly more, in 1972-1973. Despite all the talk about "honor and dignity," President Bush has apparently flushed his down the toilet. President Bush went AWOL!! Cheney himself also received 5 deferments! Both of these men are “Chicken Hawks.”

George Bush President of the United States is a man who has flushed all honor and integrity down the toilet. He has spread shame on America, it's Constitution, and it's People. It is a highly embarrassing situation for every Good American. This Man has spun completely out of control and he needs to be stopped immediately. President Bush has discounted himself to nothing more then a mere "War Criminal."
But there is hope....
Over 30 Towns in the State of Vermont have filed impeachment resolutions against Bush and it’s spreading across the United States. People are kicking this campaign into HIGH GEAR! Signs and banners are being constructed for the convergence on the State Capitol! This could be the long awaited revolution the American People have been waiting for ever since Bush took office.
This is not just about impeachment proceedings. It’s about dragging these people into a very public trial to make them stand for the crimes they have committed.
The George Bush impeachment movement has arrived, it’s picking up momentum and is just in time for the March 17 rally at the Pentagon. Here’s the best part! You don’t have to travel all the way to D.C. to perform your Patriotic Duty to America. There will be hundreds of impeachment protest happening across the Nation. Los Angeles is having a massive protest Saturday, March 17th 2007 at Noon.
These are just a few of the locations....
To find a location nearest you..Google. ‘United for Peace : Events’
I support our troops 100% and it’s time to extract them from this “biggest failure of a war” in the history of the United States. They need to be reunited with their friends, family and loved ones!
As Americans it is time to make our stand to protect the Constitution and Fundamentals of what this Great Country was founded on. We can Bring Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Condi Rice, Karl Rove and Gonzales to justice.... just like Scooter Libby. (I’m sure I missed a couple)
Thank you...together we can make a difference... happy protesting!
Have we forgotten these elected politicians are "Public Servants" Elected by the people...to serve the people? Elected to uphold the United States Constitution and what it stands for?
The time is over due for the American People to make their stand against the filth and corruption that has infested our Government.
Are George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Thomas Jefferson rolling in their graves right now? You think these men of Honor could appreciate the shenanigans of the Bush Administration?
Most important....how do you think these fine Patriots would feel about the Spineless American Society of today just sitting on their assses...too lazy to make a stand against a Regime that stole it’s way into office, staged a terror campaign, and invaded a sovereign nation to plunder it’s
resources?
The time is drawing near. The time to stand tall. To stand up for what our grandparents have fought so hard to defend. To fight for a legacy we can pass on to our children
