What you think about president Bush?

[EAGLE1]

God knows I have had my differences with President Bush on some of his policies but I have to give him and his administration credit for keeping us safe sine 9/11/01.......On 9/12/01 I would have thought we would have had and attack on this country every month but that has not happened in spite of the obstruction by the left and the democrats....

Thank you President Bush....

See, thats it in a nutshell. What is it he's done to make your country safer that no other President would do if the country was attacked by terrorists? You seem to be giving him credit for something he had no choice but to do, after all - having four planes fly into the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and the White House (nearly) would be a wake up call to anyone!
If its the Iraq war that was his original stroke of genius then please say so.

Your not from this country but if Kerry would have been elected we would be having and attack every other day........He would want to treat the war on terror as a police action and handle it in a kind and senstive way (His words) and ask the corrupt French and germans for permission to defend this country......

Hmmm...you that he wouldnt tighten up airport security and re-organise the intelligence services? Surely those two things are the real priority in defending the country. What is it in your opinion that has been done that has significantly made the country so much safer?

George W Bush.

Son of the privileged.

Scourge of the competent.

Nemesis of the English language.

Friend of the have's.

All Hat no cattle.

Ok Im British so its different for me. I dont need to be embarrassed, for example. But how can the world judge this politician except in his own words;

"We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." —Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001"

"Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a — you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 6, 2004

"I'm the commander — see, I don't need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president." —as quoted in Bob Woodward's Bush at War. Love that one.:lol:

And lastly, the most sickening one really; 'My answer is bring them on.' —on Iraqi insurgents attacking U.S. forces

Jesus I could go on and on. But thats all the world needs really to know that half of America voted in one of the most stupid, priviledged and intellectually lazy men in history. Even Reagan, a real conniving dumbass, hated across the world, could give a decent speech or two.

do you give alot of speechs in public, in front of an angry press?
Clinton was an eloquent speaker, but a disgrace as a president.
He was a do nothing president
I would rather have somebody who fumbles for words in front of the camera, and actually tries to do something
than a president who says nothing very articulately, and does nothing

but hey, some ppl like being read nice bed time stories, so they can sleep better at night

others prefer to have someone out there doing something, so we are safer when we sleep at night

Clinton was an "eloquent speaker"..?
Nah. I disagree on both counts.

How about a link to Kerry's words? You're posting incredibly inaccurate words that have nothing to do with the truth.

Prove that we would be having "an attack every other day" or stop writing such nonsense.

The truly ironic part of your posts are that you are unable to understand that we are in greater danger today then we were on 9-12-01.

Bush has spent the last 4 years in Iraq teaching our enemies how to defeat us, how to build better bombs, how create havoc, mayhem and terror. Had we never gone to Iraq our enemies would be nowhere near as strong as they are today.

Bush will go down as the very worst President of the modern era, maybe ever. The poll in this thread shows only 12% think he is a good President and 70% think he's a failure..which is the same number in the national polls.

Happily every day that passes we get closer to life without Bush and closer to having someone in office who can protect us truly not using mirrors like Bush does.

No not in front of an angry press but I do give speeches. Also Im not paid what he's paid. Plus Im not the top politician of the worlds most powerful nation. Really mate, thats no excuse.

Clinton was an eloquent speaker, but a disgrace as a president.

Hmmm...and yet he was popular across the world, the US had real clout and was continually prosperous and improving its fiscal position. What a disgrace. Many western nations would love to have a President/ PM with his record.

He was a do nothing president

Hmmm....Bosnia, Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestine anyone? Peace acheived or nearly acheived in every area. And yet he was so lazy! Wish I could be lazy like that.

I would rather have somebody who fumbles for words in front of the camera, and actually tries to do something
than a president who says nothing very articulately, and does nothing

You think having a laughing stock for a President is good? How about someone who can do both speak and do? After all whats so hard about speaking clearly about something you believe in.....unless you dont really believe it.

but hey, some ppl like being read nice bed time stories, so they can sleep better at night

Exactly mate, let George tuck you in, whisper sweet nothings - or words to that effect - so that you'll think everything's being taken care of in your interests (mind you if you're rich I suppose itd be quite true).

Hmmmmmmm...

He doesn't have the chops to be President. He's not his dad. He is too ignorant of the issues to be making decisions that affect the nation. And he makes a ton of mistakes. Here's one as an example...

When Afganistan was willing to give us UBL as a way to stop our bombing of that country, all they wanted was some proof he was associated with 9/11 and they would have turned him over to a nuetral country that would have sent him right to the good ole US of A. But what did Bush do with their offer? He replied like an arrogant, cowboy American and said, "Just hand him over! That's your only option."

Bush's First 'War on Terror' Blunder
By Peter Dyer March 15, 2007

There is universal agreement that the events of Sept. 11, 2001 altered the course of history. However, the response of the Bush administration to 9/11 eventually had a far greater impact than the original tragedy.

Seen in that light, Oct. 14, 2001 was an even more momentous day.

That was the day President George W. Bush rejected an offer by the Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 terror.

Afghanistan’s deputy prime minister, Haji Abdul Kabir, had announced that if the United States stopped bombing Afghanistan and produced evidence of bin Laden’s involvement in 9/11, "we would be ready to hand him over to a third country."

Bush responded: "There's no need to discuss innocence or guilt. We know he's guilty. … Turn him over.”

Some U.S. officials had doubts about the sincerity of Kabir’s offer as well as the ability of the Taliban to deliver bin Laden.

But according to Milton Bearden, a former CIA station chief who oversaw U.S. covert operations in Afghanistan in the 1980s: “We never heard what they were trying to say. We had no common language. Ours was, 'Give up bin Laden.' They were saying, 'Do something to help us give him up.' … I have no doubts they wanted to get rid of him. He was a pain in the neck.'' [Washington Post, Oct. 29, 2001]

The President’s Oct. 14 decision to continue the bombing closed the door on any possibility of a peaceful, legal and relatively rapid resolution of the shocking terror of 9/11.

What a dumb a.s.s!

Then, when he had UBL cornered in Tora Bora, did he send in Delta Force to get the guy? NO! He had some local Northern Alliance street thugs go in to make the bust. We all know how well that went!

Then, he pulls out the resources in Afganistan and attacks a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, which resulted in a 607% increase in the incidents of terrorism throughout the world since.

Based on data gathered by the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, an organization funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the study concludes that since the invasion of Iraq, the average yearly incidence of fatal terrorist attacks by jihadist groups around the world has risen 607% with a 237% increase in the rate of fatalities.

In other words, the decision made by President Bush on Oct. 14, 2001, has contributed to a seven-fold increase in worldwide terror.

Meanwhile, over five years later, Osama bin Laden remains at large.

He promises to defend the Constitution, then pushes through legislation like the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act which do nothing but compromise the Constitution.

He took a budget surplus and went on a spending spree that has resulted in the largest deficit in history.

He is absolutely the worst President we have ever had.

Look at Kerry's voting record... Very weak on defense and weak on intelligence.

At least Kerry has intelligence to be weak on!
