If Bush were to say....?

Question

"Ok, I hear you America.. you want out of this war. I can't set a timeline but I will make you a promise.. help me out here.. give me what I need to make things right and I'll get us out of there as soon as possible." Would you be willing to give him what he needed.. what if the next president where to address the nation in such a way?

Answer 1

I think he did say that , but not exactly in those words . I think what people have missed or forgotten is that he made it very clear. . .the Iraqis have benchmarks to meet, by this fall . He did not go on to threaten withdrawal, but he certainly intimated it . He chose the high road of positive drive and positive mental attitude . And we all know he's been crucified for it . He used phrases like ' they must ' . I don't think there's any other way to accurately interpret what he meant, but again, we all know that people are walkin around thinking otherwise .

Discerning minds already saw the 'timetable' that wasn't a 'timetable' . It was his speech writers clever way of saying it, without saying it . THIS FALL significant progress MUST be made by the Iraqis . I did this from memory , but I'm reasonably sure that you can find his speech and verify the authenticity of what I just posted .

Answer 2

The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the US Military. He is charged by the US Constitution to defend the country. He has a job to do as he sees fit. This country is NOT a democracy, but a Representative Republic. What the people want is to be expressed at the ballot box and they elected George W. Bush to that job, twice. Congress, while relying on the same information that W. had, gave him permission to invade Iraq. No amount of Left wing whining and obstructionism can change any of that.
The President needs to attack Iran for EXACTLY the same reason that we attacked Iraq.
The Justice Department needs to lock up several key Democrat Politicians, much the same as President Lincoln had to lock some of them up 140 years ago. Nancy Pelosi is NOT part of the administration. She has NO business trying to act as the Secretary of State.

Answer 3

Pip, you know full as well, that The Liberals, (no offense) doesn't like anything that Our President stands for. And a lot of the gullable Americans, go along with the Liberal-Loving Media. He could bring `em home, today! And the Democrats would argue. Good talkin' to you, Dear Friend

Answer 4

This is what Nixon did, but it still took Congress to cut off funding before it ended. If the candidate you describe was a Democrat he or she would be praised at being brilliant.

Answer 5

I believe that we all need to be loyal and support our president/leader as good Americans regardless of who it is. We should respect the person elected and their decisions. That’s what voting is for.

PS and the president/leader should give the same respect back.

Answer 6

when GWB was told that Saddam was finally cooperating with the UN inspectors and the inspectors were content with his level of cooperation, Bush said that Saddam could not be trusted and that he was still a threat and he needed to be dealt with. I would respond to him with equal skepticism and doubt.

Answer 7

First of all Bush would Never say such a thing

Answer 8

no.

sorry, but we have already been there for over four years.

we can't simply behave as if this was the first shot at doing this.

the real war in terror isn't happening, the taliban is getting a foothold again and america is left vulnerable.

all because our president is getting on the job training and has no idea of what he is doing and has given appointments to people who would normally advise him to 'yes' men who also have no idea what they are doing.

sorry - but NO!

Answer 9

I think he's essentially said that already!

Bush has made mistakes, but I support the war effort.

Answer 10

Though I think that is as likely as my hair growing back, I would certainly feel better.
Conviction is one thing, but completely ignoring the majority of his constituents is another.
