Sound Basis for Foreign Policy?

Question

Today Bush quoted two Iraqi bloggers to support his contention his strategy in Iraq is "working."

So. . . .Bush won't listen to the Study group, to foreign policy experts who have spent their careers studying the middle east, to Congress, or to the Amrican people.

But he listens to IRAQI BLOGGERS????

Is this how "the Decider" formulates foreign policy?

Answer 1

he listens to however tells him what he would like to hear.

Answer 2

Shiite police, while off-duty, take their weapons and go on a shooting spree throughout a Sunni part of town.

Sounds like a Civil War to me.

Bush has got all those non-refundable campaign contributions from Big Oil to consider. How can he not fulfill their manifest destiny?

If he would have just suggested during a State of the Union Address that he had a plan to steal Iraq's Oil and maintain our dependance by it--we would all probably walked lock step with him. Instead, we have this LIE--a lie so large that it must be added onto at every twist and turn of the debacle in Iraq. He and his Administration have been WRONG about every forethought they ever deduced.

"American Prowess" is not this "pipedream" of victory that Bush propagates and conservatives blindly follow. It is the ability to dictate a foreign policy through rational decisions and Rule of Law.

Answer 3

If you really paid attention to government, you would cite examples and which of these so-called "professionals" Bush will not listen too.

Instead you go on this mindless, meaningless rant about Iraqi bloggers, and you don't even know what the words "foreign policy" mean.

Answer 4

You are the microcosm of today's liberal Democrat. A, you don't recognize defeat when you want it. You can't deny they want defeat. They want surrender. They own it. That's exactly what this is about. It's so bad that the Democrats cannot afford victory to take place. But beyond that, you know what's really shameful to me and what is truly, truly disappointing is that you, an American, do not think victory is possible in this for the United States of America. If you don't think victory is possible, there's one opposite to victory, and that's defeat.

You think we can only lose. You want us to lose. You're telling yourself, you got your brain all tied in knots telling yourself, "No, no, no. This is not about defeat, not about surrender. We can't win. This is about securing Bush's legacy," and so forth. You think anything other than victory is going to secure any kind of a decent legacy for George W. Bush, given who writes legacies these days and who writes the history? You and people like you are truly frightening and sad and disappointing, and I feel sorry for you. When I actually stop to think that there are Americans like you, I get depressed, because you do not represent the traditions and the ideals and the institutions that have defined this country's greatness.

If you keep propagating (and you won't because of abortion) and you keep making more and more of you people who think the way you do, our country and the way it's always been and its future is threatened. If you people get your hands in total control of this country -- and you have yourselves convinced that we don't face an enemy, that we're at war with the enemy, that the enemy is only the enemy because we've made them mad -- we are truly in deep doo-doo. I go through this mixture of emotions of feeling sorry for people like you because you sound otherwise intelligent. You can speak and you can do so grammatically correctly, so it seems to me you ought to be able to figure things out, but you're so warped out there that it's frightening and saddens me. It's just very sad, at the same time.
