I mean, @ first I thought his inappropriate actions were to benefit his friends and the terrorists, which he has, and to get even with the asshole who tried to kill his dad, (he could have done that with one assasian) but as more time goes on, with the statements that he has made, it really seems that he is trying to bring an "End of days" I mean, we know that russia backs iran, and we know that russia has allies, and n. korea would jump at the oppertunity of an alliance to go against the united states, and all this because we gave nuclear power to india a few years ago, and now we are telling iran that they can't have it, and if they do, they will have started WW3.

And mustagme, are you really so out of touch with what is going on right now to know that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11? Saddam knew that this would happen if he did collaborate with the terrorists. Iraq is the breeding ground for terrorists now because of us being there. I have no problem killing the terrorists who bombed us, but we are creating more than we can annihilate every day we are where we don't belong.

Well, he seems to enjoy his powers and lately acts as a dictator himself. Just think of his Veto powers he's used against decisions that 70% of America supports. Let's not go over gas prices rising in the last 7 years. Oh and our loved $$$ dropping so low that Canada is laughing at us. They blame it on housing market which is known to be Armageddon of it's own. Well, just remember who encouraged all Americans to live the dream of owning a house. Mr. Bush 3-5 years ago. Naturally, demand would rise the prices, people who could afford the house didn't think of property taxes. 3 years later... millions of foreclosures. Short lived economy. Long term damage.
He was building up economy hoping it would last through his presidency so he could blame the fall on the next president. On contrary, it imploded under his own term. 30% approval speaks for itself.
I don't think he's trying to start WW III... Intentionally. I praise him for starting a war on terror, but we went to war with the wrong country. There was more evidence of WMD in N Korea than Iraq at the time but we didn't go to war with them. Afghanistan attacked us, no Iraq but we don't send nearly as many troups there to hunt the terrorists. It's all his own game and unfortunately others have to pay for it. I hope he's not playing with Russians. Putin scares me more than Bush but under Bush, we have lost our ground as leader of the world. Because of Bush, Putin is flying the old Cold War lines as a patrol. A new Cold War? Who'd you be more scared of if you were the rest of the world? Iran who has no means of delivering a weapon accros couple of miles and has no way of harming US interests or a country that has already invaded another country with false reasons?
C'mon people. Let's be Americans that Washington and Lincoln wanted us to be. Not Bush's toys. We need a good Republican or good Democrat in the office soon. Someone who will reestablish the name USA in the world.

Don't worry, the White House is telling us. The world's most powerful leader was simply making a rhetorical point. At a White House press conference last week, just in case you haven't heard, President Bush informed the American people that he had told world leaders "if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing [Iran] from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon." World War III. That is certainly some rhetorical point, especially coming from the man singularly most capable of making such an event reality.
Pundits have raised their eyebrows and comics are busy writing jokes, but the president's reference to Armageddon, no matter how cavalierly uttered and subsequently brushed away, suggests an alarming context. Some might note that the comment was simply an offhand response to a reporter's question, the kind of free-thinking scenario that baffles Bush so. In a way, this makes what the president said even more disturbing, since we now have an insight into the vision, and related terminology, which hovers just below the horizon in the brain of George W. Bush.
A critical question, therefore, is who was the last person to "imprint" the president prior to his public allusion to World War III? During his press conference, Bush noted that he awaited the opportunity to confer with his defense secretary, Robert Gates, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice following their recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. So clearly the president hadn't been imprinted recently by either of the principle players in the formulation of defense and foreign policy. The suspects, then, are quickly whittled down to three: National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, Vice President Dick Cheney, and God.
The processes which compelled George W. Bush to speak of a World War III are intentionally not transparent to the American people. The president has much to explain, and it would be incumbent upon every venue of civic and public pressure to demand that such an explanation be forthcoming in the near future. The stakes regarding Iran have always been high, but never more so than when a nation's leader invokes the end of days as a solution.

2 Years ago I would have still said no. But this is a man who is not too bright and he is a rather extreme fundamentalist, legalisitc Christian who believes in an apocolypse.
I wonder what role he fancies himself in? I don't know but the fact that he believes this and also the fact that he believes he is somehow annointed by God to be President makes him dangerous.
Fortunately, his term may be up before he can do more real damage to our country, but he certainly is trying to ratchet things up in a very dangerous way.
I'll feel much better after his term is over.

Bush, just wanted revenge for his fathers mistakes.
Now having invaded Iraq, he seems to have a problem with Iran.
If he had left thing alone, Iraq was fighting Iran this could have been some sort of stability.
Suppose he just thinks of himself as a Superior person, just similar to Blare, both have made the same mistake.
YOU DO NOT INVADE ANOTHER COUNTRY

I think people do not want to admit that this could be the case..Russia China N.Korea are all envious of the States..
and would jump at the chance to bring down the West...add to that Iraq Iran and most of the middle East we should be concerned...
Bush is a figure head and a bumbler those that have the power to actually do anything you will never see.

No, Bush isnt trying to start WW3 even though it could happen at anytime even if we had another president. The presidents before him even hold some sort of responsibility because these things build and grow. He has our troops fighting to protect the united states from having a war start over here. If WW3 is going to happen it will it cant be prevented by letting other countries walk all over us because once we give them that control they will never stop controlling us and they will take everything our soldiers fight so hard for "freedom"

His decisions aren't made unilaterally. I would agree that some of his decisions aren't very flavor able. But hey buddy those guys would soon as see us on a frying pan than be friends with us. Unfortunately, we sell arms of destruction to get money. People have an innate need to protect themselves, their are ways to communicate to protect the country like peace talks but as prior experience has demonstrate "Pearl Harbor", "Bay of Pigs" and other historical experiences, the road to damnation is paved with good intentions.
In my humble opinion one can't not reason with a person that has a close mindset on how things should be done. It's like trying to change your right to speak your mind. Believe me, it takes a lot of courage, bravery and mistakes to run a country.
I think that it would be best for all countries to put down their guns and start to listen, respect and talk to each other instead of going into warfare.
Unfortunately, one of man's greatest discoveries was used to do the atomic bomb. Is it that man is as primitive as the caveman that a whole world can't come to a consensus on how to do things but must always be in competition with each other to see who out does one another. Can't we all strive to make the world a harmonic place to live ? Is it because in every good their is a seed of evil and in every evil their is a good. Yin-yang. If we were as bright as we claim we would try to teach people how to do it instead of handing them the things. Give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach a man how to fish he will feed for a year and more.
Do this exercise for a minute, step into Mr. Bushes shoes. Now you have to travel to more than one country, give speeches, see the bested interest of a whole populace, national security, pass or veto laws, answer for the countries budget, education, homeless. Do you have the vision yet.
I think Mr. Bush needs to make more friends and less enemy of course. The Middle East and Asia have always been threats to the national security of the United States because as a first world power ,they perceive us as pretentious, arrogant, pompous, and even as busy bodies. This might be the reason why he is trying to rectify his bad decisions. Because their might be a greater danger, that you aren't aware off, but he already has that info in his hands.
I'm a democrat and believe our troops have done a wonderful job of saving and protecting our rights and freedoms from foreign threats. Many times one has to do what they need to do not would they like to do to protect themselves. I think it's time to bring back our troops slowly but surely we will get there. Those lost in combat have made me proud to be an American, they gave so we could live and be on the yahoo.

Bush's goal is to get as much money for him and his buddies as he can before he's run out on a rail.

It was predicted that the end of the world would happen by 2012, Bush seems to want to make sure that the prediction comes to pass.
