that definetly has nothing to do with why we are in iraq, if it did, we would have done something about darfur by now

we can't just ditch iraq now. it's fragile, but everything we have done to help is working.

President=Scapegoat for all the governments actions. Just so we dont over throw our goverment. He has a board of supervisors that tell him whats what. He tries his best. Pretty much anyone in office is gunna to fuck up to some degree with certain things.

Watch what you say, I've given a good list of reasons why George Bush wasn't the worst president ever. Dwight D Eisenhower, Andrew Jackson, Lyndon Johnson were much worse than Bush. If you disagree I will gladly point out why.

Bush is pretty shitty though.

how does he have no respect for the world population? What was the real reasons for this invasion? More facetime for George, oil, shit i dont know what the reasons are but i certain that life in the Middle East is a much worse now than it was ten years ago. The smallest figures of violent civilian casualties in 2006 alone, nevermind the other years, are at about 35,000 people (Saddam didnt come close to killing that many in his entire rule), there was also a statistic that came out that was obviously disputed by the bush government that put the civilian casualties at around 300,000-900,000 people. They used close to perfect scientific methods to come up with these numbers. Now im sure it is easy for you to beleive that this is better for the people of the world because of were you live, because you see all of the positive of these events, but in reality, the large majority of the world actually hates your country for the things they have done in "the intrest of the better world".

you're absolutely right. we've had a bunch of other shitty ass presidents but this guy is in the house now and seems as though all of these problems, whether or not they were there prior to his presendcy, have all come to light now. it just scares me....i cant imagine what our country will be like in 20 years..or shit, even 10 years.

Please enlighten me on how this is true. Wherever I look... well, heres the top story from CNN today:

US General Wants More Troops for Bloody Iraq Province:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/05/11/iraq.main/index.html

In fact, acts of terror are up. There have been more suicide bombings in the last year in that country than ever before, and just last month, 200 people died in a coordinated car bomb attack on a market. US soldiers die every single day. Militant groups are growing.

However, Bush and Cheney both have publicly stated that Iraq is "getting better". So I mean, they must be right, eh? They've never been wrong before...

there is no question that lyndon johnson was worse then bush but no fucking way eisenhower was i dont like what he did but he wasent worse then bush is now. also to people who blindly support whoever the pres is because you think its supporting your country, wake up. that is a horrible and dangerous way to go about politics.

Haha, who are you to say who's following blindly and who isn't? You're the one coming on here saying everyone that supports Bush is an idiot. That's probably the most blind you could get. I support Bush in most of his decisions and you know what, I'm sure as Hell more educated than your hippy, against the government ass. Talk about following people blindly, look at yourself before you judge other people.

Lyndon B Johnson (despite the fact that he fucked up Vietnam) did soooo much to reform civil rights its insane. Definantly better then Bush.

If anybody was worse then Bush, it's Nixon.

Bush DID handle the Korea incident well, but the american public are fixed on Vietnam and the fact that because we are in a WAR (shocker) and have had the worst natural disaster occur (shocker) that we are in so much debt.

I don't feel like spending my time on you too much because honestly, you're just an ignorant bitch. But I do support how he had enough balls to go over to Afghanistan after 9/11, how he admitted his mistakes, our economy on many levels... just a general overview. Now I don't support all his decisions such as the Iraqi war, the supporting of Saudi, or how he's handling Iran. Unlike you, I look at both sides and actually learn something instead of jumping on a bandwagon and saying, "THESE PEOPLE SUCK! WE RULE!" You're supporting the thought that all Americans are ignorant.

yea because sending a small portion of our military to afghanistan=BALLZ! i am not jumpng on any bandwagon, and im not a hippy , im not anti government and im not even a liberal! the man has tarnashed our reputation, started an illegal war that has killed nearly 1 million civillians and thousands of our own troops for nothing, made the enemy stonger, he is surronded by corrupt assholes, he like most other presidents has not stood up to israel , he fucked up with katrina, he hasent done shit about africa when that is much worse then anything happening in iraq. he supported rumsfielf to no end when rumsfield himself being on the board of the company who made tamiflu(anti buird flu vacine) and owning thousands of stock made us belive bird flu was real. rummy made millions of dollars of of that. bush was a cokehead, a draft dodger , he destroyed everything he touched before he was governor of texas. there is so much fucking more, this president is not a cowboy and is not even tough on our enemys, he has no balls he has no brain , he has the lowest(our 2nd lowest i forget) approval rating in presidential history. he ignores congress, he doesnt believe in evolution, he doesnt believe in global warming, he thinks stem cell research is murder, he is the worst kind of american there is.

Eisenhower is much worse than Nixon. Johnson may have done a lot for civil rights, but a lot of other people did more. Johnson fucking up Vietnam as bad as he did was enough to make him a bad president, if you disagree I would love to show you specifics.

who are you to tell me how i should think or what a true american is? if i had a chance to revote, i dont know what i owuld do cuz kerry was a dumbass too, but the fact is the bush is our president and it only hurts the situation when people protest the war. it tears this country apart.

my cousin is overseas right now fighting for something he believes in, hes a true american, and so are you, and so am i. cuz its people like my cousin that give us the chance to rant back and forth on a god damn skiing website.

No.... Bush has never apologized for misleading America into a war with Iraq. He's apologized about Abu Ghurayb, but not about announcing to the world that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. His administration has been characterized by their unwillingness to accept and own up to their mistakes.

LBJ was a better president that Bush, by far in my opinion. LBJ had alot of civil rights acts and things like affirmative action and really helped out minoritys in the country. Yes, he was responsible for Vietnam. During this time, George Bush was in college. If you have studied Vietnam at all, you will know that Colleges protested Vietnam an incredible amount, but Bush didn't care because his daddy had connections and he landed a cozy job like the national guard or something. LBJ was the first to try to interfere with a country in the midst of a civil war, and didn't realize the power in which people will fight for the freedom of their country. Theres a famous qoute, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", which is EXACTLY what Bush did. The similaritys between Iraq and Vietnam is chilling, while 1/10th less of the casualites on our side, people are still dying every day and we have literally ripped Iraq apart. I forgive LBJ because he didn't know what would happen but Bush should have known better. Therefore, LBJ > Bush.

when people protest it hurts the situation? what the fuck is wrong with you? if your cousin thinks what he is doing is right good for him. personally i dont think killing innocents even unintentionally helps anything. you know what happens when the public are 100% complacent with there governemnt and put up no resistence? see nazi germany or north korea.

he was horrible, also EXTREMELY SHADY...he said that the us maddox and turner were "attacked by enemy ships" in the gulf of tonking where a man from our country was doing recon missions above and radioed in asking why we were shooting and said we was above the battleships the entire time and we were never shot at...he then said that we could have been "shooting at whales" for all he knows...

he is probably not the worst, since he did do a lot for civil rights but he fucked up with vietnam REALLY BADLY...

We were already on edge with them before that incident. The first time they actually were shot at by Vietminh and they have the shells to prove it, the 2nd time they THOUGHT they were shot at with torpedos that missed, I've heard the audio recordings and they really have no idea what the hell was going on.

what the fucks wrong with that. we need oil. its a worthwhile investment in the well being of our country. at them same time, he's helping the people of iraq. that statistic is overexaggerated by liberals like yourself, and, its war. thats what fuckin happens. if we had dealt with this like the last war in the middle east, and just blown the shit out of them, it would be over.
further, u foreigners bitch at us for policing the world, and then are angry at bush for not going into darfur where the geonicide is. lame.

He is to wraped up in geo politics and making money for already rich people.  His enviornmental stance is terrible and if you want to ski in 25 years you better hope we dont get more bush like people in power.  I am completly against the war in iraq, his reasons for invading were bull shit, no weapons of mass distruction were found so we should have left then.  Afganistan was completly just and i dont think anyone will argue that.

You can't just invade a country, topple a regime, and then leave and say "oops we made a mistake", we have to help them rebuild in the interests of democracy.
