8.2 billion to send 6k more soldiers to iraq/afganistan.

Nice, idiot. Shouldn't be there in the first place.

All our taxes are going to the death of innocent soldiers, this war is over, go kill someone else for oil! Meanwhile, schools are falling apart, and so are hospitals. No money, its in bush's pocket, and the rest is in the ordering of guns, and the exsictution of soldiers trying to protect a used-to-be safe america.

He is ruining the country, which will soon be bankrupt, and wil be in the 21st century depression, where our dollar will be worth .001 euro. Soon he will be out of money, and the war will end. Why doesn't he spend his own money? (hopefully not!) WE ARE OUT OF MONEY, AND LIFE!!! YOU SPENT ENOUGH, WE LOST ENOUGH!

Perhaps you need to review the history of this country. We have been fighting for ourselves since the beginning. We have also been fighting for others. We don't take their treasure, we don't take their oil, we don't take their land. We take care to limit the death of civilians and do all we can to reconstruct their cities and infastructure. Then, we leave. We always have.

We have established and (99.9% of the time) live by rules of war. When a soldier fails to do so, we hold him accountable.

I don't believe any American President sends troups into battle (knowing that some will die) without much thought, heartache and for a noble reason.

This war is only over if we refuse to fight it to win. Whether in Afghanistan or Iraq, we must finish the job -- if we fail, it is at our peril. If we fail, this country may never be safe again and may cease to exist.

Has the U.S. made mistakes in our 231 year history? Of course. Will we make more? Of course. What do we (as Americans) typically do about it? Learn from it. Try to do better. But we do not quit.

This country is not falling into ruin. We have a strong economy and very low unemployment. Is everyone here living high on the hog? No. But we never did. Is there poverty here? Yes. And there always has been. And there are always people (besides the government) there to help.

Are we gripers? YES! How many people do you know that don't have a car, a television or a cell phone. Poor here is a far cry from poor in other areas of the world.

You may want to check the US budget for an accurate description of the spending of your tax dollars. If the amount of your taxes that are wasted on pet projects and senseless grants and aid doesn't make you angry, I don't think anything will. Spending on keeping our military strong seems a good idea to me. Schools are the responsibility of your local government, your property tax (not federal tax) fund that. Don't blame President Bush for what your School Board or the residents of your town won't do. Hospitals (except for the VA) are not government entities. Don't blame President Bush for that either. As far as VA hospitals are concerned, you might want to do a little research on their history before assuming their current state of affairs in anything new.

As far as President Bush spending his own money, wise up. The primary duty of any President is to protect us from enemies, foreign or domestic. Spending money to ensure we are safe is an investment in the future of this country. As far as being 'out of life', you may want to check the death tolls of other wars and conflicts. While you are at it, check the percentage of killed and wounded compared to the number of troups deployed. The men and women lost in every war leaves a hole in our society. The nobility of their sacrifice helps fill that hole just a little bit.

He allows his Ideology to trump common sense
17 of the 19 9/11 hijackers, the training camps from which they originated and the financial banking for the whole fiasco were all Saudi. Start to finish, end of story.
Bush didn't approve of his dad leaving Sadam in power after the first gulf war, Saddam attempted a personal vendetta against his dad in the form of a foiled assassination attempt , the Bush family is tight with the Saudi mucky mucks , 9/11 happens, Bush leaves the Saudis off the hook in his axis of evil list and Iraq gets it between the eyes.
He sees what he wants to see and ignores inconvenient truths that get in the way of his objectives.

First of all, when has this country not been in debt? We were in far worse debt during the Vietnam, Korean, and Cold War era than we are now, and we came out of that just fine. Second, the schools and hospitals falling apart started long before the Bush Administration came into office. You can't say Bush shouldn't be there in the first place because he was voted into office not once, but twice by a majority of Americans. Where are you getting all of your information from? He's ruining America? Can you name one thing in your life that has been personally affected as a direct result of Bush's presidency? I didn't think so. Your rant sounds uninformed and uneducated. Do some research and learn the facts, you might be surprised to what you can learn.

easily he lost me in the course of his first time period, at the same time as he despatched the nationwide look after in to scab in the course of a Longshoreman's walkout that the federal authorities replaced into mediating. it isn't straightforward for an entity to stay an impartial arbitor at the same time as providing scab exertions at the same time. This presented about more beneficial breakdowns in those negotiations, and ultimately brought a pair of lock-out in the course of right here Christmas season that fee merchants billions of greenbacks at a time at the same time as corporation ought to were booming. considering that then, i have watched him dedicate one mistakes in judgement after yet another. even if that's his stupid economic coverage, shifting stance on the conflict, backwards social regulations, or brush aside for the structure; he both would not evaluate the outcome of his movements earlier he does issues, or would not care.

An illegal war, to stave off a failing economy (for a while). And to increase his families personal wealth.

All of this at the cost of. "There used to hardship" ordinary decent people.

Who is the traitor? I suggest anyone that acts outside ethical precepts. Or who does not attempt to understand reality, particularly where lives are at stake. Instead ignorantly and violently defending organised gang warfare and pseudo-christian fundamentalist dictatorships.

Bush is a mass murderer. America only got part of what they deserved in 911 due to their last 50 years of raiding the property of sovereign nations.
Everyone outside US & Aust knows all of the above. And we are left to defend our governments crimes.

Nothing wrong with Bush besides him having 63 chromosomes. It’s a party in his head all the time.
