I could explain to you that most of those figures can be found anywhere else, and that in fact many of them come from the Bush administration you admire so, but what would be the point eh?
Is it worth for me to point out the 'achievements' of the Iraqi war, the lies about the WMDs and links to terrorism, the 12,000+ civilians killed by the US so far or the ever deteriorating conditions in the country, or are you also going to pretend the facts and figures are lies and that it is all a left-wing liberal anti-American conspiracy?
You'll be democratic or we'll invade and kill you. Fucking great example. All we had to do was let the weapons inspectors finish their job, but that would have made Bush look like a plank wouldn't it?
Exactly, if the democrats were still in charge, and they should be, they won the election democratically, then the region would be stable, the inspectors would have returned and Saddam would still be close to death. It's not the job of the USA and it's poodles to conquer the globe because they don't understand.
Hey, you're not right-wing clones, we must invade.
Face it: the US government has never given a toss about the welfare of the Iraqis, and even if you think the war was a good thing you should at least admit that the reasons we went to war had absolutely nothing to do with safety, security, freedom or human rights.
Yes, I agree with this. It was to do with Bush getting revenge on the man who tried to kill his father. And possibly one or two other things that the public don't know about.
Such as pulling out of Kyoto? Looney.
You cannot possibly imply that Bush is guilty of hypocrisy by judging good and evil on the basis of his grandfather's political past. Buch is a fundamentalist Christian and is quite happy for that to be known - it's a vote-winner in many states. If you disagree with that, fair enough, but don't let that be the reason for hating him. His main fault in my eyes is insular thinking - i.e. putting America on a pedestal - it's a kind of arrogance and I find it repulsive.
In terms of the rights and wrongs of the Iraq war, Bush is imho guilty of greed. Not only oil, although that must have played a part, but power. It seems to me that he is desperate for his place in the history books, and Iraq was intended to be his crowning achievement. Americans needed a scapegoat after Sept11 and when Afghanistan went quiet, Iraq became the subject of their rage, and it has just snowballed into chaos since then.
then come back and tell us how the country is better off.
it scares the shit out of me that minds like yours actualy exist!
go and read up about the old people starving to death because of the trillin dollar tax cuts ...which mean individual states can no longer pay for home care for the elderly. or heating. or social service visits. go and talk to the workers dumped on the dole ...that now has no means of paying them anything at all so the lines for the soup kitchens get bigger by the day ...soup ktchens in middle class areas at that!
talk to us about the people who have had their pensions stopped ...completely.
talk to us about the people who have no health care insurance at all ...all cos of the trillion dollar tax cuts.
america is not the big shiny land of the free that you see on the telly.
the reality of america since bush ...would truly shock you.
i suggest you take the cotton wool out of your ears and shove it in your mouth ...you might learn something.
I'd not expect him to do anything else.
