This thread is all about Bush Jr.'s presidency. This regards his competence ( or lack of) his policies failure ( or success) and global view on him in general.
Between Bush's tax cuts, the Iraq War, Katrina, 9/11, and everything else that happened during his admin. he has done on average, somewhat poorly, in a political perspective. He has essentially turned America into a declining "empire" with another Vietnam, and a world which hates him.
Wrong very Wrong but it seems all of you on the Left just can't get over Mr. Bush huh you guys need to come up with a new hobby
Except under federal law the President can't send in FEMA till the Gov. ask for it ohh forgot that little US Code now didn't you.You know, just saying I'm wrong, and not proving how I'm wrong is less then useful in a debate. Kind of like having FEMA and not using it right after Katrina

Just being the only President in our history that made state sponsored use of torture a legitimate policy earns GW Bush the title (by far) of WORST President in history.
Another "Vietnam"?
:lol: I thought you lefties dropped thay hyperbole when you realized we weren't gonna lose. :lol:
I never thought I'd say this, but he needs to be more like George W. Bush.
Except it wasn't has never been nor is it torture but thanks for playing the I wish I knew what the Hell I was talking about game please now exit to stage door right and collected you nice parting gifts.
We weren't going to lose Vietnam either, but we pulled out anyway. Our bombings were screwing them so bad. The only thing that was helping them was the Cong, their army was a joke. Whenever we take losses, the public gets mad, which makes it harder to keep the effort going. Thats why I compard it to Vietnam.
you seem to have some knowledge of historical warfare, i wouldn't expect you to view vietnam and Iraq in any sort of similarities.

There are always similarities in any war. But of course, there are also differences.
Similarities: Russian Weapons, Guerilla Tactics,
Differences: Environment, Enemy, Reasons
Probably the most important fact is the guerilla tactics. Vietnam was a close match because of those tactics, and we have learned for Iraq, but of course, gureilla tactics always force high casualties for the invading force.
Really? I think there are some really influential conservative speakers who have been waterboarded...Mancow Muller, was a swimmer, and got ready for the waterboarding, got totally prepared. When they started he lasted about 5 seconds before started gasping and calling for it to stop. Afterwards, he said, ".....absolutely torture." Here are some videos. The actual waterboarding starts about 2:30 or so in.

Here's a link to Mancow. The waterboarding starts about 2:30 again.

so how many casualties do we have in this war, how many in Vietnam?
