Why is everyone so Hard On BUSH?

Question

You know, I've never been able to figure out why his own people even turned on him somewhat and said there was no weapons of MASS destruction in Iraq. It was common knowledge that IRAQ did have and were building these weapons for many many years and Sadam was using them on his own people. HE obviously KNEW Bush was going to attack, right after 9/11 and Bush started going after the Tliban in Afghanistan, IRAQ had every single weapon moved into syria of into well hidden underground bunkers and tunnels that Sadam spent years and like billions of dollars building.

Sadam wasn't a friggin terrorist?? Specifically bent on causing the USA considerable harm???????!!!!!!!!

He didn't have connections to every single terrorist group??

COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!

Answer 2

I don't agree with everything that Bush has done but I do feel that it is wrong for Us to keep bashing him for the decisions he has made to keep us safe. The 911 attack was five years in the making and the terrorist were plotting to attack us long before that. The question is, where was the previous president and what was he doing to keep our homeland safe. He had the opportunity to take Osama out years before and wouldn't. It's a known fact that we are at war and I would much rather fight it over there than over here, if we pull out of Iraq at this time you can bet another attack will happen sooner than we think. This is a psychological war and they would like nothing more than for us to all turn on each other and our leaders.

Answer 3

Pres. Bush cannot be held responsible for the actions of the various militia currently operating in Iraq but he can be held responsible for the somewhat cavalier attitude he had towards his so called 'preemptive' policy towards Iraq. Mrs Thatcher recently said that sending a country's troops to war is the gravest decision any Prime Minister can make, neither Mr Bush or Mr Blair appeared very 'grave' when they took this decision. And, finally, dead sons are very hard on parents, so perhaps Mr Bush should accept some of the flack.

Answer 4

Of the five worst terrorists in the past 75 years, consider:

* Joseph Stalin killed 10 million of his countrymen and died peacefully in his sleep;
* Adolph Hitler gassed 6 million Jews and escaped justice by committing suicide;
* Idi Amin massacred 2 million people in Uganda and retired in luxurious "exile";
* Saddam Hussein killed more than a million Iraqis and is the only one of these five world-renowned terrorists ever to face a court of justice for his high crimes against humanity;
* George W. Bush is responsible for the deaths of 675,000 Iraqis and almost 4,000 U.S. soldiers for an insane, illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, unjustifiable war against another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States. This 'war' folly is - and always has been, from Day One - about OIL and WAR PROFITEERING, never about bringing democracy to Iraq, establishing peace in the Middle East, or defending this country against an enemy nation. -RKO- 07/20/07

Answer 5

Most people who don't really know any better are swayed by the Liberal media. They either don't have the intelligence enough to look for themselves or to remember that he was using nerve gas on on his own people and the Serbs. If you remember back when we had the world wars the news would report on how many enemy soldiers were killed and what was accomplished to keep morale up. Now all it's about how many soldiers are killed, so it makes the simpleton think all we are doing is getting people killed. Since 9/11 we have not had another terrorist attack on homeland soil because we took the fight to them. I would think that since he has military advisors, naval, army CIA, etc Intelligence he would problem know more about what we need to do to protect ourselves than the guy down the road flipping burgers regurgitating what he heard some communist like Micheal Moore (who flat out bend almost in two, the truth) say. Oh and it look like you have another Micheal Moore half truth and bent fact person spewing his plagiarized information for an answer.

Answer 6

No. Leaving them alone would be irresponsible as was selling this war on so many lies and running from the fight against a man who murdered so many on our soil to pusue a bully-like fight (I refer to the lies told me by people I supported, and who failed me and the nation}. The "standing by and watching" argument is the exact one I was making before the war (i.e. Why not just say Iraqs leader is a despot [which would have been accurate] and drop all the w.m.d. and 9/11 connection talk [which there was some question about] and go on a rock solid foundation instead of risking a loss of credibility on all these dramatics?} It was irrational at best to take this position. As for people's parents in the army, one assumes you mean parents of people in the army. You seem pretty flip about sacrafices made by our nations finest and most courageous while at our greatest hour of need and whom VOULENTEERED their services. As far as the choices made, the soldiers may have a different view. I have several customers who stress in ways I don't even try to immagine for fear of making assumptions without the experience that they are having directly in their lives to influence me. That would be ignorant. It's easy to say "They commited their lives", but as I stated earlier, that is a rather flip interpretation of the true devotion and commitment these giants among us might have had resolve to make. A resolve not found in very many. Just check the numbers on enlisted men. As to the good christian man with good morals argument. I've known people as such, and the funny thing is that they or anyone else need not profess this as it seems to be understood almost, if not immediately. It does not speak well to morality or faith if you must resort to blowing your own horn, and I as many others have heard this self-proclamation many times. People of high moral fiber, I beleive, are averse to such salesmanship. For example: the same has been said of Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggert, and more recently, moral pillar himself Ted Haggard, as well as any con-man anyone has ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I noticed that you namelessly dropped your dads name in further comments. Get a clue, my dad was a psychologist, this hardly qualifies me as a counsellor or therapist. As to the circle in which you insist you are aquainted, one is somewhat taken aback by your obvious bias and unimpressed that one who rides this power wave is spendig time getting opinion on-line. It just seems a little hollow that Yahoo answers is a think tank for a person with such influence. For that matter, I hope this claim is untrue, for if it is not, you surely now see why people would be filled with dismay.

Answer 7

When this war is still going on in 25 years, will that still be your stance? Bush will go down in history as the man who destroyed the USA.

Answer 8

The single most important way to know Iraq did not have wmd is knowing we "DID" invade their country. In other words, if a country has wmd we don't challenge them (N.Korea,Cuba,Iran...etc).

Answer 9

The first part of your question brings to mind yet another:What was the dirtiest line ever said on public television?
"Ward,weren't you a little hard on the Beaver last night?"

Answer 10

I'm convinced that he lied. I can't accept a leader who lies to his people.There are no well hidden underground bunkers. There are no WMDs. The war in Iraq is about oil; something the whole world wants.

Answer 11

Right on z, good question.
Too bad the libs have us surrounded.
No one mentions there have been no more attacks on US soil since the war.
Just like those to start bitchen when things are good.
Oh, it's the economy.....don't tell them the Dow broke another record.
