Aren't you glad George Bush wasn't our leader during World War 2?

Question

Admit it!

If Bush was in charge during WW2.....the war would of took 25 years to win(if we would of won), it would of took 50 years to control Berlin, and he would of cut taxes for the rich to make them feel good.

Thank God FDR was in control, and not George Bush.

Answer 1

Hear Hear! I don't want to think about that possibility, it would give me nightmares. Thanks guy!

Answer 2

Could it be that we as a nation had a different set of principles in those days.
If any of these loony congress people had started to talk the treason they do now they would have been tried for rendering aid and comfort to the enemy.
And when they did get to prison the inmates would have butchered them while the guards watched.
Same for these Rosie Odonald types.

Yeah Bush and company have made mistakes.
Perhaps you have heard of a little place called the Ardene's Forest, they latter named the Battle of the Bulge, it was never supposed to happen. We lost a lot of men ( i don't mean 1 or 2 hundred) but the American Public didn't say oh no bring em home.

You surrender monkeys should study some real history not the Jane Fonda version.

There were guerrilla tactics still going on 4 years after the NAZI government formally surrendered.

Ever heard of operation Market Garden.
Several thousand allied soldiers died in that debacle also.

And while I'm at it we didn't try to fight a politically correct war.
Everybody knew the deal. There was a war going on and you could:
A
join up with one side or the other and take your chances
B
Get the hell out of the way and hope you got far enough away
C
sit where you were and hope for the best
we didn't fall all over our selves apologizing every time there was some collateral damage and if you hid anything in a church or mosque we blew it up while it was sitting still.
See the centuries old monastery at Monte Cassino.
Because there MIGHT have been some Germans in there it was reduced to rubble.

You name the war and I'll point out our military mistakes,
Not that I would have done any better, but I do read the entire book not just the forward and introduction.
Yeah there have been some mistakes made in this war also.
Do you balance your bank acct perfectly every month.

Answer 3

I just finished watching The Day After.It is a story about nuclear war. Had Bush and his administration been in office at that time I rather doubt we would be alive now. When I was in the Navy I went to Hiroshima and saw the building destroyed by the bomb which is a monument today.
I urge our young people to get involved in whats going on.I do not want to be a dooms day man,because I fear we will lose a city. There may be a regional nuclear strike God forbid.Bush and his corporate parasites have placed this nation in great peril.We owe our children the same right to life as much as we do.I am 65 yrs I have a chance to live a normal life.Don't you believe our children should too

Answer 4

Rumors about the alleged Nazi 'ties' of the late Prescott Bush ... have circulated widely through the internet in recent years. These charges are untenable and politically motivated. Despite some early financial dealings between Prescott Bush and a Nazi industrialist named Fritz Thyssen (who was arrested by the Nazi regime in 1938 and imprisoned during the war), Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathizer. the Anti-Defamation League (a Jewish organization).

Answer 5

I would like to know exactly what criteria you are basing your argument upon. First, and foremost I don't even think it is cogent to compare the Second World War to the War on Terrorism -- then we were fighting definite countries with easily identifiable assets and military forces. In the War on Terror we are fighting nebulous fanatics, and not a physical country.

Also, I think you fail to realize that Harry Truman was President for the end of WWII, and, although he has been vindicated in our contemporary context, he was actually the most unpopular president of all time (his approval ratings were even lower than that President Bush). Truman made many decisions that were unpopular, and it is only recently that historians have come to realize he made those decisions not to be popular, but for the good of the country.

I'm not saying I agree with President Bush on everything, but I do think its become a little too fashionable to join the anti-Bush camp, spitting out prerehersed diatribe on cue. And I think in 30 years people might not be so critical of him as they are now ...

Answer 6

Machen Spaß Sie?? Wenn er war in lädt dann wir alle Deutsch heute sprechen würden!

Answer 7

Yes, as a Bush supporter I can honestly say that I am very glad Bush was not our leader at the time, HE WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD when we entered war!! However, he would have done an excellent job if he was his current age back then. We would have a lot less casualties as well.

Answer 8

Your question is not fair. This is a softballs for Liberals (who would've acted the same way during WWII, btw), and a brain-teaser for Conservatives.

None of us were there. I'll get back to you...

Answer 9

AGREED

and he wouldn't have asked citizens to help out with money or businesses to assit. no 'freedom gardens' in school yards and american car companies wouldn't have stopped making cars to produce military vehicles

germany might have won

Answer 10

No, I'm glad Harry "We already lost the war" Reid wasn't in the Senate during WW2. When the soldiers were raising the flag on Iwo Jima the dems would have been standing on top of each other trying to tie a white flag on top. Bush is like Churchill. "Whatever the costs may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender". Reid: "Run away".

Answer 11

Mmmmmm, what where my other options? Would you have been glad if Kerry, Gore or clinton where in the big seat during WWII? MMmmmmmm I think thats an ugly scenario for most Americans.
