before you complain about Bush ?

Question

it is because of our military that we have the freedoms that we have in our country . it is because of people with courage and backbone like pres Bush that our military is able to act . Clinton was a coward , he wouldnt use our military , he didnt know how , maybe because he was a draft dodger who knows ?
Our military and brave people like pres Bush have saved our country .

Answer 1

Anybody that agrees with Bush's policy's or supports him in anyway is ignorant. His failures are so obvious that only retards can't see what is going on. You can see the difference in intelligence in the answers on this question.

Pro Bush: The answers are simple and without substance. (Much like bush himself)

Anti Bush: Thought out, articulate, intelligent, informative, factual, and educated.

There are so many arguments as to why bush sucks but Bush supporters don't have the intellect or education to understand. They are SHEEP. So why bother to respond? I think the majority of the United States and the World have already spoken and been heard.

Answer 2

Your "question" has so many logic flaws, I don't know where to begin.

First, complaining about Bush isn't the same thing as complaining about the military. One complaint that people have about Bush is that he sent the military into an unnecessary war. These are people who *support* the military ... they don't want troops dying for an unnecessary cause.

Second, you seem to have a very bad grasp on history if you think that the military was never "used" while Clinton was president. Ever hear of Kosovo? Or do you only know about wars that are thrown in your face by the news every night?

Third, you call Clinton a draft dodger, but Clinton registered for the draft in September 1964, and in October 1969, he actually *asked* his draft board to drop his ROTC deferment. That doesn't sound like draft dodging to me.

Our military will definitely save our country if given a chance, but what if they're tied up in Iraq when we get attacked by a country that's a real threat (unlike Iraq) ... say, China or North Korea? Part of being a good Commander-in-Chief is using the military wisely.

Answer 3

An absolutely absurd statement. 1. Bush avoided active military duty just as much as Clinton did; 2. Clinton used our military plenty in his 8 years of office; 3. Our "goals" in Iraq, are largely unobtainable and we are basically wasting time, money and lives there which are better spent elsewhere. Eventually, we'll have to leave -- we can't stay there forever. Why not as soon as possible so that we can spare some American lives in this now pointless exercise?

Answer 4

No doubt, the military has done numerous things for our country.

That doesn't excuse Bush from using them like a pawn in his game for political issues. In my opinion, Bush is the coward, hiding behind the troops so he can look like the bigger man.

I can't wait until he's out of office. I'm a registered republican, and voted for Bush the first time, the second time I voted democrat... Bush is a joke and this country can do much better. I just hope I don't eat my words next term.

Answer 5

The military are indeed brave people. But Bush? Brave? Easy to be brave from the comfort and security of the White House. He has made big mistakes, both by attacking Iraq and by not planning for the aftermath. Remember him aboard the carrier with the banner..."Mission Accomplished"? How silly does that look now?

Right, must dash, off to the candy shop.

Answer 6

That is B S. Well Bush did not complete his obligation to the military, so he is no better than a draft dodger. Besides we had no right to go to war with Iraq. All he wanted was to get the oil for the US oil companies. So, is that a good reason to get our service people killed. I think not!

Answer 7

It's funny how you bring up Clinton in defense of Bush. Why divert the fact that Bush's presidency has nothing to do with his back ground or military experience. this argument is a red haring

Answer 8

Dear asker,
You are probably a young person and maybe you live far from where the american intelligentsia lives.
Get yourself more informed, go and quest for truth, below are some links that might help you understand the lies your gov. and the corrupted media you have there in the "land of my belly button is only thing I know" tell your people everyday.
Have you ever know or wonder why CNN is mandatory in public gov. facilities?
It easy to trick people specially when more than 50% of r e d n e ... vote in a guy that you deserve.
Good luck.
Peace be with you.

Below is an article from people who knows what is going on:

" George W. Bush is a liar. He has lied large and small, directly and by omission. His Iraq lies have loomed largest. In the run-up to the invasion, Bush based his case for war on a variety of unfounded claims that extended far beyond his controversial uranium-from-Niger assertion. He maintained that Saddam Hussein possessed "a massive stockpile" of unconventional weapons and was directly "dealing" with Al Qaeda--two suppositions unsupported then (or now) by the available evidence. He said the International Atomic Energy Agency had produced a report in 1998 noting that Iraq was six months from developing a nuclear weapon; no such report existed (and the IAEA had actually reported then that there was no indication Iraq had the ability to produce weapons-grade material). Bush asserted that Iraq was "harboring a terrorist network, headed by a senior Al Qaeda terrorist planner"; US intelligence officials told reporters this terrorist was operating ouside of Al Qaeda control. And two days before launching the war, Bush said, "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." Yet former deputy CIA director Richard Kerr, who is conducting a review of the prewar intelligence, has said that intelligence was full of qualifiers and caveats, and based on circumstantial and inferential evidence. That is, it was not no-doubt stuff. And after the major fighting was done, Bush declared, "We found the weapons of mass destruction." But he could only point to two tractor-trailers that the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency had concluded were mobile bioweapons labs. Other experts--including the DIA's own engineering experts--disagreed with this finding.

But Bush's truth-defying crusade for war did not mark a shift for him. Throughout his campaign for the presidency and his years in the White House, Bush has mugged the truth in many other areas to advance his agenda. Lying has been one of the essential tools of his presidency. To call the forty-third President of the United States a prevaricator is not an exercise of opinion, not an inflammatory talk-radio device. Rather, it is backed up by an all-too-extensive record of self-serving falsifications. While politicians are often derided as liars, this charge should be particularly stinging for Bush. During the campaign of 2000, he pitched himself as a candidate who could "restore" honor and integrity to an Oval Office stained by the misdeeds and falsehoods of his predecessor. To brand Bush a liar is to negate what he and his supporters declared was his most basic and most important qualification for the job.

His claims about the war in Iraq have led more of his foes and more pundits to accuse him of lying to the public. The list of his misrepresentations, though, is far longer than the lengthy list of dubious statements Bush employed--and keeps on employing--to justify his invasion and occupation of Iraq. Here then is a partial--a quite partial--account of the other lies of George W. Bush. "

Answer 9

Distribute the Call to Drive out the Bush Regime, available as a pdf [http://worldcantwait.net/flier/thecall.pdf], to everyone you know, and take it out to people you don't know (on the subway, at concerts, etc.). This call powerfully describes what this regime is doing and how it can be stopped, and needs to get out to the millions who are thirsty for it, and generate a national conversation.

YOUR GOVERNMENT, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

YOUR GOVERNMENT puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

YOUR GOVERNMENT suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

YOUR GOVERNMENT enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

Here is what George Bush has done. Are you still beaming with pride for President Bush?

Answer 10

1st you are a liar who doesn't know what he is talking about!

Draft dodger! What does that make Cheney and the rest of Bush's staff. Bush was just a deserter who dodged Vietnam!

Clinton did something Bush could never do:

On December 16, 1998, United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) military forces launched cruise missile attacks against military targets in Iraq. These strikes were ordered by the President of the United States and were undertaken in response to Iraq's continued failure to comply with United Nations Security Council resolutions as well as their interference with United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) inspectors. The strikes were designed to deliver a serous blow to Saddam Hussein's capability to manufacture, store, maintain and deliver weapons of mass destruction and his ability to threaten or otherwise intimidate his neighbors.

In November 1998, US President William J. Clinton warned Iraqi leadership that force would be used if they continued to hamper United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) inspectors efforts. This operation, dubbed Desert Fox, was a rapid and intense use of air power that lasted four days (17-20 December 1998), ending on the first day of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim year during which Muslim believers must fast between dawn and dusk. It was also the first operation that used B-1B Lancer bomber aircraft in a combat role. As in earlier confrontations between coalition forces and Iraqi military forces in the Persian Gulf, the intent was to show the coalition's resolve to continue to support the UN's monitoring effort. This was basically the "straw that broke the camel's back" in the year-long tug of war between Hussein and the coalition. In fact, the US deployed forces to the Persian Gulf in February 1998 as part of operation Desert Thunder. Like confrontations in the past, Hussein selected a time when the US and her European allies were busy with preparing for another situation, again in the former republic of Yugoslavia.

Clinton used the military and did not GET ONE MAN KILLED!

And Bush has been trying to destroy our freedoms since he got into office. Missuse of power by the FBI under the Patriot Act. I guess you have never heard of the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Under that you have have no constitutional right to habeas corpus, a civil trial, a jury of your peers, an indictment as required under the Constitution. You do have a right to a ,military tribunal when they get around to charging you, with no right to appeal to the US Supreme Court if you are sentenced to death!

Bush has NOT saved our country as Iraq had nothing to do with terrorist or 9/11! This wasn't over our freedom. It was over your greed!
