By mis-managing the occupation, has Bush embolden the Terrorists?

Question

Like Israel in Lebanon, do the defenders of Iraq see America as a soft touch militarily...?.

Thanks Messrs Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld..... Thank you for nothing.

Answer 1

It is often said that all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. I would add to that another thing that would allow evil to triumph is for good men to mismanage noble efforts. What we have in Iraq is neither good men doing nothing, nor good men mismanaging noble efforts.

What makes Iraq so tragic is you have bad men mismanaging a war that is immoral. It’s not just the mishandling of the Iraq occupation that has vanquished any credibility we may have had in the world. It is the fact that we invaded Iraq under false pretenses, and we are maintaining our occupation under totally fabricated reasons, that has caused such global acrimony to be levied at us.

Incompetence may have dire consequences, but even that is forgivable if the intentions are ethical. Unfortunately, Bush and his cohorts’ intentions are anything but ethical, and that is unforgivable. It’s this very lack of ethical legitimacy that has caused the galvanization of the terrorists, and has engendered greater recruitment among their ranks.

Answer 2

George Walker Bush is like The 3 Stooges all in 1 but at least they were funny, George Walker Bush is a nut case who has become absorbed along with his corrupt Administration over the War in Iraq. The dumb A'ss still doesn't get it that not only the Iraqi's don't want them there but as well as the rest of the Islamic World. Congratulations are in order to Dumb Dumb Bush for starting a Holy War with the Islamic World, just what the world needed because of an A Hole by the name of George Walker Bush..

Answer 3

Well, I don't think so, because I believe that the real terrorists, are elements in our own government, and around the world, who can be called by several names like: The Military/Industrial Complex, the Globalist Elite, the Illuminati, etc. But, they are all actually the same small group of people, and anyone who favors the idea of the New World Order, as the Illuminati envision it, are involved! This, of course, includes Bush, and Cheney! *sm*

Answer 4

How is it that you think that the only people willing to fight the war are emboldening the terrorists? It's the people that can't stomach a low intensity conflict like Iraq that have applied pressure to our government and emboldened the terrorists. We had better start teaching Farsi and Arabic in school so that our children and grandchildren will have an easier time after we surrender.

Answer 5

WHO is emboldening the terrorists? Do you realize that Al Jazeera has been playing Harry Reid's "we lost the war" speach far more than they've been playing Ben Laden's clips? Also, if the media would just get out of the way, we wouldn't need to be "soft". When I think of soft militaries....I think of the French!

Thank YOU for nothing, too.

Answer 6

Yes.This is gold as a recruiting tool for alquaida.He gave them a real life training ground where they can train against their number one enemy.This is better than what they had under the Taliban.They can familiarize themselves with the techniques and methods of the US army and Bush still wants to stay because his reputation is more important than anything else

Answer 7

Definitely Humanist, he has his open-ended strategy in place right along with his 100,000 man BlackWater USA mercenaries. I would like to see Bush and Cheney on trial in Hague, and real soon.

Answer 8

Not nearly as much as the cut and run demoncrats. The votes they cast this week for setting a deadline for withdraw amounts to aid and comfort to the enemy by telling our sworn enemies our war plans.

Can't blame this on Bush.

Answer 9

Maybe not all of them; but for sure all that live in the Mideast.

Go Team Bush Go

Answer 10

Open your eyes people Bush and his administration are the terrorists. They need to keep it hot in the middle east, so they will have a reason to be there, so they and their friends, can make huge profits.
