George Bush, good for the country...or not?

Question

Do you think that George Bush is good for this country? He's gotten us into a war, sent out over 200, 000 troops; and he still remains in office. Is it just me or is he wrecking the United States? I'm a little bit opiniated. So, excuse me if I sound a little rude.

---Me---

Answer 1

The war in Iraq is not in our interest. It has cost 500 billion dollars, thousands of lives, and now we are stuck with an unwinable situation.

Answer 2

If sending in the troops doesn’t work, just send in more. If throwing money down a hole doesn’t work, toss some more down there. If having faith in the Iraqi government gets you nowhere, why, then, trust ‘em with more.

Bush isn’t just staying the course, boys and girls, he’s staying it with a vengeance. His promise to consult with members of both parties? Total bullshit, unless, by consult, you mean bringing a few in the day of the speech and telling ‘em what you’re going to say.

And already the Whatever Bush Says boys are out there with the same old ‘you’re either with us or you’re against us” mantra. Bush says, This is How We’ll Win. Anybody who disagrees wants to lose.

But what’s this … the strict party lines are a little, shall we say, ragged. At least six Republican senators, for example, have already voiced their opposition to the idea of boosting troop levels in Iraq. Does that mean that Gordon Smith, Susan Collins, Norm Coleman, George Voinovich, Chuck Hagel and Sam Brownback all want the United States to lose in Iraq? Or do they just have a different idea of what “winning” might actually mean?

And when Bush’s new plan, which he tells us is an Iraqi plan, when it fails … who’s going to take the blame then? Will the administration blame the Iraqis? It was “their” plan, after all. Or maybe it’ll be the nay-sayers fault. They didn’t all come together to back the president, you know. Or maybe it’s the darn media’s fault for not showing the war in a more positive light.

It won’t be the administration’s fault, of that we can be quite certain. The administration, you know, recognized its mistakes and made the necessary changes to win.

That might sound good on paper, but it’s just not true. Bush isn’t making any changes. He’s just tryin’ to put out a fire with gasoline.

A rose is a rose is an escalation of hostilities

It's about Eye Rack

The powers that be keep talkin’ about a surge in troops into Baghdad as if just suddenly the numbers there will increase … which is true. But in the interest of truthiness, just what are those troops going to surge into Baghdad for? To stand around? Ah, no. They won’t be standing around.

They’ll be escalating the hostilities. More troops with more guns equals more fighting. An escalation. But we don’t want to say that little word, now do we? Ewww, it sounds bad, and the last thing we want is to sound bad for the Murrikan People. They might, like, I don’t know, oppose it or something.

Too late, Oh Powers that Be. The Murrikans ain’t as stupid as you seem to think they are. They know that a “surge” in troops ain’t the same thing as a tidal surge. They know what it means. More fighting. More blood.

More dead.

Alas, though, that seems to be where this war is now headed, because if there is one thing we can count on the Boy King to do, it’s the Wrong Thing. And what could be more wrong than escalating an already chaotic, barbarous situation?

But Georgie wants to win, y’see, and he doesn’t see how you can possibly win without whuppin’ *** on the battlefield. It’s just that it won’t work. Remember those surges into Falluja? Who’s the daddy in that town now?

No, it won’t work. It’ll just tick people off — tick everybody off, really. Iraqis are already over having U.S. troops all over the place. The insurgents, well, we know what they think. And good old fashioned Murrikans are just gonna see more wasted lives and get more angry about the complete lack of decent leadership shown by this pissant little creature who “won” the presidency by the grace of a friendly Supreme Court.

And all he’s worried about is his legacy.

The News Writer knows what his legacy is going to be — he’ll go down in history as one of the worst presidents in the history of this nation.

And yet, here’s a side note for you: when he dies, he’ll be lauded, just like any other former president and for a moment, we’ll forget how he tried like the devil to turn this place into a one-party state with an empirical leader.

But only for a moment. History will remember, and remember well.

Answer 3

Definitely NOT good for our country. Bush is responsible for the death of thousands of U.S troops and countless other innocent Iraqi civilians. George Bush started a war based on false pretenses and I can't believe so many people are so easily brainwashed by the church, the media and the republican party. Good thing we only have 2 more years left under his dictatorship.

Answer 4

I am still undecided on Bush. I agreed with his decision on Afghanistan, but not on Iraq. If the rest of the world did not want to anything about Saddam, we should have stayed on the sidelines the next time he invaded another country. Let the dumb just stew in it. The only time the US should go to war alone is when we are attacked first.

All of the deficit spending his administration is doing is just wrong. What happened to the republican ideal of small government and low taxes? Lower taxes also needs budgeted spending to really work.

I am starting to lean toward NOT.

Answer 5

he has made some very poor foreign policy choices which overshadow some of the good things he has done here at home.

The deficit is going down, The economy is basically on an unstopable climb..

Unfortunately a costly and unplanned war is what we will all remember

Answer 6

About as good as eating McDonald's every day for a month is for one's health.

BTW - You're excused. And you call that rude???? Sheesh, that's nothing girl!

Answer 7

Not, It will take 100 years to get out from under the mess Bush has created.

Answer 8

any other president would have done the same in his possition. its just been a bad time going on right now.

Answer 9

Not

Answer 10

good
