Did Bush & Cheney's Stupidity ignite Terrorism World Wide?

Question

Are these two men nothing but a liability to the planet earth?

Answer 1

Yes they are evil just like OBL and the terrorist. They could have done good but they choose to do wrong. I would have spent trillions on solar and wind sources,waste systems for the world but they choose to rip people off of their money and kill,destruction just plain evil ways and hey they have their shuttles ready and guess who paid for them?

Answer 2

Lets see:

1. There were the Jewish terrorists against the British before
the Jews gained their independence.
2. There were the Arabs who terrorized the Jews after they
became a state.
3. Let's not forget about IRA in Northern Ireland
4 The Turks against the Armenians
5. The Basques in Spain
5. The Cypriots against the Greeks in Crete.
6. The French Resistance in WW2 against the Nazis.
7. Eco terrorism in the US (spikes in trees, nasty)
8. The Unabomber
9. Pro-life groups bombing abortion clinics
10. Who was that guy the bombed the Federal Bldg in OK?
11. Etc, Etc.
12. Oh, let us not forget that guy Saddam who gassed
thousands of Kurds just because they were Kurds

If my calculations are correct, Bush and Cheney, weren't even born or were very young when most of these terrorists events occured.

Answer 3

It amazes me that people think that terrorists started not liking us only after George Bush and Dick Cheney were elected. They (terrorists) haven't liked us for quite some time before the 2000 election. Go back and look at some recent history, say since 1976. There was the Iranian takeover of a US embassy in Iran, the Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up, there was threats on US citizens lives (Abu Nidal), there was the disco frequented by American GI's in Germany that was blown up killing several US servicemen which led to us bombing Mr Qaddafi back to the stone age and killing his daughters in the raid, there was the '93 bombing of the world trade center, the bombing of an airliner over Scotland, the bombing of the USS Cole, the bombing of the Kobar Towers in Saudi and of course 9-11-01. Of all of these incidents, only one took place after Pres Bush and VP Cheney were elected. If you'll look, most of the attacks mentioned above took place in the '90's when a very popular democratic president was in office, so your analogy is inaccurate to say the least.

Answer 4

Close, and the simple answer is yes.

Remember that they did not cause 9/11, nor did they inspire Timothy McVay in Oklahoma. But, most of the terrorist acts since then can be traced to their intervention in Iraq. Last years Intelligence Estimate said that Iraq was turned into a hotbed of terrorism, a Mecca for terrorists to go and a factory that produced new ones. With help from Iran, right next door the terrorists are making daily strikes against the US. Even when an attack is made on the Iraqi population it is done to generate hatred among the Iraqi people against the US.

The British liquid bomb attack attempts, the Canadian born plot to bomb DC, the British Subway bombings and so many other plots where all home grown plots inspired by Al-Quadi Incorporated primarily through their web sites and the acts of lone religious fanatics who incite others to act.

Al-Quadi and the other Middle East based terrorist based groups don't need to bother to attack the US. Such attacks are expensive and require a lot of planning, and it is hard to get agents into to place. Instead they make a cheap suicide vest or create a simple bomb out of a cell phone and an old artillery shell, which they use in Iraq. Why travel all the way to Europe or the USA when you can get the same press and do it far easily in Iraq.

As long as we have American and British forces committed to Iraq the terrorists have easy targets that can be cheaply exploited. The reason why attacks on police recruits are so popular is that the gun man can get a large number of people in a simple drive by shooting and then they stop to loot the corpses giving them more funds to continue the work.

The Director of Homeland Security said, "I have a feeling that the terrorists will act in the US this summer." He may have suspicions and reasons for it, but he has no evidence of even an attack in planning. We don't know what is going to happen in the US. But, we do know that terrorist activity is on the rise and the terrorists are seeming getting ready for something, but it could be an attack on Japan for all we know.

The problem is that next fall the US has political elections. The Madrid Train bombings were so scary to Spain that the government failed and their troops fled Iraq. Terrorists know that they can change the outcome of an election and the entire course of a country. So expect a major act before November (even a moron can predict that).

What the terrorists will do is unknown, but they will plan an act that will make a statement that will seriously harm the Republican Party. An attack on a rally or event would be easier than an attack on building. The security might be the same, but it has to be moved in and set up. The security will have less time to clear and secure the area a well planned attack would study their procedure and plan something that would be in place before the event, something that would be overlooked and unseen. For example manholes are ignored and seldom accessed, especially those that just provide sewer access. You could put a bomb in there and leave it there for a month before the event when you want to use it. Current security realizes this and when the Presidential motorcade drives on a street the Secret Service makes sure they are all welded in place (I am not going to give anyone an idea of how to run a successful attack). But, they don't cover every single thing. Imagine a city store that is wired with cell phone explosives, put into place by employees of the store who took 6 months to set up the attack. Then when the event came no one would have time to check every store for every display. The bombs would be detonated at the same time at the right moment and score a huge attack. Like say in the middle of a Halloween event; an attack done right before the November elections. Such an attack would be easy to prepare and set in place, if you take the time and effort to do it and plan it well.

The terrorists only have succeed once, that is the motto of all the protective and intelligence services. They have to catch each and every one.

If Iraq had been left alone the terrorism level in the world would still be high, the idea is too popular and too hard to eradicate. But Middle East terrorism wouldn’t be half of what it is today if Cheney and Rumsfeld hadn’t insisted on attacking Iraq and “finishing George Bush Senior’s War.” The blame it theirs and not that of George W. Bush, he actually didn’t want to hold the invasion, it wasn’t his problem, but his administration came into office looking for a good excuse. 9/11 gave it to them in spades.

In so many ways the current Bush administration is the worst Presidential administration in American History. They haven’t been as corrupt as Nixon’s band, but they have grabbed more power then he ever tried, and it was feared that if Nixon was brought down he would start an armed revolt against the US Congress. But, when push came to shove and Congress told him to turn over the incriminating tapes, Nixon blinked and complied. A major incident was avoided, a President was brought down, but the Federal Government remained intact, loyal and in control; all of the government including Congress. But, Cheney has ignored that example, when Congress asked him for documents he refused. He claimed that he was a member of the Legislative Branch and so immune to Congress’s controls on the Executive Branch. It is a very quite revolt, but unless Congress lets the issue drop Cheney will inspire a Constitutional Crisis.

Nixon violated people’s rights and pushed the gathering of evidence to the limit, but he never tried to eavesdrop on the conversations and electronic mail of millions of Americans. It is the single greatest invasion of the American public’s privacy and the Supreme Court just struck down a lawsuit that would try and limit it.

When Congress passes a bill and the President signs it then it is law, but not in the case of the Bush Administration. He has used his pen to strike out parts of bills and use executive orders to curtail Congress’s legislative power.

Now with Bush admitting that Scooter Libby was acting on orders from his administration he has entered the ring of corruption that Nixon’s people dabbled in. His all be pardoning of Libby proves that he has no shame and doesn’t care what is being done.

When L. B. J. lost the confidence of the American people he withdrew his name from the Presidential race, he knew that the Republican Party wouldn’t survive an attempt to elect him, the man who was behind the war in Vietnam. He listened to the people and backed down, but George W. Bush has ignored the public interest. He didn’t just fail to stop the war, he escalated it with the troop surge.

King George was such a bad English King that it is a rule in the royal family that no king or prince will ever be named George. His rule collapse into insanity and his lose of the American colonies started the destruction of the British Empire. He was the worst king in English history since John tried to steal the throne from Richard in Robin Hood’s day. To American history George W. Bush will be even worse. He has all the bad traits of the worst Presidents back through 200 years.

President Gant’s administration was politically corrupt and the monopoly system rose under his rule, but Cheney’s involvement in oil and Haliburton is almost as bad. The monopolies were eventually broken up, but Haliburton was only slapped on the wrist.

Yes, the Bush Administration is the worst in history, but it has been all the work of George W. Bush’s controller Dick Cheney. He is the root of fall evil in the Bush Administration and he is untouchable. When his time in office expires he will retire and let his supposed boss take history’s blame.

Answer 5

Yes, & Cheney is responsible for 9-11 & any future attacks that HE is planning right now in his bunker. Too bad it's not a grave......

Answer 8

NO. I can't believe you think that our President created Terrorism. Nothing is beneath you is it Nancy.

Answer 9

no billclinton did by ignoring the uss cole, african embassy bombings and at least six separate chances to capture or kill bin laden in sudan...you see al qaeda doesnt care about liberals sitting on their rears..they want and will go for confrontation at any cost. bush just cleaned up clintons mess.

Answer 10

If they Bush and Cheney didn't send American troops to Iraq, then we would have taken it up the butt again. How many 9/11s need to happen in order for you to be convinced that the war on terror was the right thing? Maybe your views would change if one of you family members died from a terrorist attack. WAKE UP! THEY WANT YOU DEAD YOU DUMB DEMOCRAT!
