Have you heard any good things about George W. Bush?

Answer 1

Yes, his term is nearly over.

Answer 2

Not on here that's for sure.

1. Led the destruction of the Taliban.
2. Crippled Al Qaida
3. Took down a dictator that had commited genocide on 300,000 of his own countrymen/women/children.
4. Killed that dictator's two sadistic sons who liked to torture the National Soccer team by pouring acid on them when they lost.
5. Put UN nuclear inspectors into North Korea, Lybia, and another country (can't think of it off the top of my head), without firing a shot.

There's a couple more in there, but these are the good ones.

Answer 3

I have met the man and seen him work as governor and now as President. I actually believe he is sincere and good-hearted, and probably his biggest fault is being too loyal to his advisors who may not have always had as pure of motives. Cheney should have resigned a long time ago, in my humble opinion.

Bush leads by principle not by popularity polls. Regardless of how the country feels right now, and how Dems are trying to villify him, I think history will put it all in perspective and he will prove to have been a better President than folks are giving him credit for now. The poor guy could be the poster child for the cliche' "danged if you do, danged if you don't", as his every move has been criticized, often for problems that have nothing to do with anything in his power to control or change!

Answer 4

Yes, he ran a sub 4 hour marathon in Houston, Texas. Maybe not much for a lot of people, but I think it is a great accomplishment.

Answer 5

He is a man who stands by his convictions. That is the one lesson my fellow Democrats need to learn. Take a stand and don't give an inch.

Answer 6

I just read a good book listing them, it's called Thank-you President Bush.

Answer 7

Only when he was drinking and doing drugs - except for the time he almost died choking on a pretzel while watching a baseball game on television in the White House and the Secret Service had rush in and save him.

What truth is that?

1. The Taliban’s influence is stronger than ever; Afghanistan’s opium production has been at record levels for years; providing funding for terrorist organizations.

2 Recent reports by the US Department of State and a consensus of America’s 16 Intelligence Agencies both conclude that the US presence in Iraq is only making the situation there worse and that, as a result of the Bush Administration’s policy on terror Americans are less safe and less secure than they were before 9/11 because anti-American terrorist organizations (particularly al-Qaeda) have grown larger, stronger, and are more successful than ever.

3. And estimates by Johns Hopkins University say Bush has killed twice that many Iraqis. Further: the United States has allowed only 466 Iraqis to immigrate under refugee status since 2003 -- including 202 out of 70,000 slots for refugees last year -- in part because of more stringent security screenings, officials said at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee

The UN estimates that over 4 million Iraqis have been displaced by violence in their country, the vast majority of which have fled since 2003. Over 2.2 million have vacated their homes for safer areas within Iraq, 1.5 million are now living in Syria, and over 1 million refugees inhabit Jordan, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, and Turkey.

About 50,000 Iraqis are fleeing inside Iraq each month

Thousands of Iraqis, many hunted as traitors because they assisted America’s war effort, are finding the bridge to safety blocked.

4. While he sanctions torture himself, even though America’s own Intelligence experts have said it is useless and in fact counterproductive because it causes times and resources to be wasted running down false information that could be better spent trying to catch the real bad guys.

5. North Korea developed nuclear weapons on Bush’s watch. Libya’s demilitarization began with the Clinton Administration and was completed through negotiations between Libya and several Western European nations. Bush had no involvement at all.

Answer 8

Truthfully NO. Not since he swore he would go after Bin Laden.

Answer 9

yes i have. He is finally acting like a president should.

Answer 10

He was correct about supporting the surge effort in Iraq and that it would improve conditions there. Attacks are way down and optomism and people are returning to reopen business is up.

He stands up for his principles whether you like them or not, he doesn't flip flop.

Answer 11

yes he is against whale hunting by japan
