Worst president ever.
Think his ratings are low now? Wait until $4/gal gasoline hits the states this summer.
The only upside to all of this is that voters will not, under any circumstances, elect a Republican president in 2008. In fact, Bush (and Shooter) are so wildly reviled right now that there's an excellent chance that at least 61 Democratic senators will sit in the senate in 2 years. At that point, it's game over for the GOP.
I can't watch that butt faced boy for two seconds before I start shrieking uncontrollably.
Oh man, things are soo bad in Iraq.
Cookoos with turbans on their heads and men wearing dresses are blowing each other up so they can have wild orgy parties when they’re limp and dead,
cause.. uh-oh no fun allowed now.
Fight and die for your supreme leader, he does not have enough castles gold and woman.
major combat operations in iraq have ended.......now repeat after me..........major combat operations in iraq have ended,.......major combat operations in iraq have ended........
you see how easy it is......just repeat a lie long enough and pretty soon it becomes the truth...
silly sob didn't tell anyone how long it took them to take the airport....and the number of casualities we had doing it.....they made fun of the iraqi spokesman tariq aziz when he said the iraqis were counter attacking.....but they neglected to tell us that in this instance he was speaking the truth.....they did counter attack......and they fought like rabid dogs for that airport......of course we were told that they all layed down for us and wimped out......they did not......
our casualties in this war have been for more than have been officially reported.
Look all you FBers.
Fossil fuel cannot be owned by anyone.
All of the worlds natural fossil fuel must be shared with all of us humans.
Just like the air we breathe
And just like the open oceans.
Any crazy dictator that claims they own it, escort them to the gallows prompto!
Day 1 – hang all arab and Persian dictators.
Day 2 - hang all the eastern european dictators (Putin early in the morning)
Day 3 – hang all the south american dictators.
Not one dime of the oil proceeds go to any country that resists.
impeachment?
Stop obsessing - the rest of the world figured this guy out a long time ago.
Get rid of him and start thinking about abolishing the presidency, or converting it into a 'what-a-nice-old-lady' kind of office, like the British monarchy.
There are more important things to occupy your minds.
The voters will too elect a Republican whether Hillary wins or not.
i wonder when people will finally admit that maybe saddam hussein had a certain point when he went around killing people. kept them in line didn't it. maybe those people are a little madder than they led people to believe when saddam was hanged and now #1. civil war and #2 the killing is worse than it ever was (after saddam was hanged) #3. see no end in sight and if US leaves they will be like a smelly fart that after expulsion from your butt you try to get away from it it follows you. They will never stop this craziness and America leaving IRAQ will not make that war go away. American's just won't be in the line of fire THERE. Everyone forgets the story of Pandora's Box. It should have been left closed. DUBAI is getting any oil out of there AND you will be paying 5 dollars a gallon. Just saw a news story about what happened to 1 billion barrels of oil missing from IRAQ, can you see that mega resort called the Palm that you can see from space in DUBAI, that is where that oil money is and you as AMERICAN'S are paying for that resort. stolen oil, skyrocketing gas prices. But the price of a barrel going down. That Cheney looks likes he is a private and secretive man. Start keeping extra cash tucked in your mattress and a bicycle in the garage because hard times are soon to be a coming.
AND 4 YEARS LATER THEY ARE STILL ENGAGED IN SECURING AND RECONSTRUCTING IRAQ. WTF!!
Dubya put the Dubya in WTF!!
How can a man who never whent to Vietnam send kids to die. The USA has the technology to end most wars with a missle or two. Why do we continually send boys and girls with M16's to do the job. Could not assasins have taken care of Saddam and sons, or how about a Predator waiting till one of them came outside. Whether or not we are on the ground, they have a right of self-determination. Most countries would be afraid of the USA if at any time a missle could take them out as opposed to sending soliders.
we invented saddam hussein and when he was of no more use, they hung him. he kept the waring factions in line by brutal force....he was not perfect of course, but for that region it worked....it worked so well that it caused the israelis a certain amount of apprehension. they became nervous when a arab strongman in the area of old babylon, arose. so then they got us to go and bomb him into the stone age during gulf war 1, and then went in, under israeli orders, to finish the job during this present war. the iraqis always knew we would come back. they know what is going on around this world. so they prepared for it. when we went in, they did put up resistance in some areas but the plan was to fade into the woodwork so to speak, and not go toe to toe with the american army. this they did. and then when the time was right, they started their guerilla activity and their war for independence , which is what this really is, make no mistake about it. we are a illegal occupier of arab lands now. and we shall pay a fearful price for all of this as if we have not already. the whole premise for this war was a lie concocted by certain individuals in washington dc and tel aviv. and with their influence in washington, they got us into this war. bush is their puppet and does what he is told. so now the american volunteer mercenary army fights a war, that never ends against indigenous people who's only crime is that they want us to get the hell out of their country and leave them alone. so now we fight as imperialist aggressors and mercenaries for a group of people that most americans do not know about nor understand. we fight against iraqi freedom fighters who we call terrorist and insurgents. they are not terrorist but they are insurgents. the state calls anyone that goes against its plans insurgents and has done so, time and time again down through history. bush and cheney , make no mistake about it are traitors and they are not the only ones. our government is full of them now. only time will tell when all of this will come out. hopefully soon, before our entire military is used up and destroyed, which is one of the reasons why we fight now. they are destroying our armed forces, just like they are destroying our culture with unabated illegal immigration and our economy with paper dollars that have no worth...it is time to wake up america while you still can...
Biking 15 or 20 miles to work, fun? mopeds anyone?
A former commander of the 1st Infantry Division in Iraq said this week it might be time for the United States to discuss bringing back the military draft.
On Monday, retired Maj. Gen. John Batiste told News 10NBC in Rochester, N.Y., that in order to “win the peace” in Iraq, current troop levels there would need to be nearly doubled to 300,000, adding that to make numbers like that possible, a military draft might need to be considered. The draft was last used in the U.S. in 1973.

My only concern is that the people elect the right person for President. Obama is the man for the job. Hillary hates the middle class and black people, and if you vote for her, than you hate those groups as well.
"... at least 61 Democratic senators will sit in the senate in 2 years. At that point, it's game over for the GOP."
... and for American taxpayers too..
The dirty little secret about Iraq is that we have successfully gone in and basically destroyed, the cradle of human civilization. Iraq is Mesopotamia and Sumeria and Babylon. Well done Americans, well done. The still small voice ask the question, what have we done?
yes, we will have a draft again. they need replacements in this war that will never end. their goal is to draft every able bodied man and woman between the ages of 18 and 49.....drink up my friends. the party is just beginning.
parties mean nothing. left , right, democrat, republican, it matters not. they are two sides to the same coin. in the light of day, they pretend to argue and have differences. in the evenings they sit down to dinner together and toast their good fortune for having great jobs, with great benefits at the expense of the idiots in flyover country. so it is these days in america. parties and ideologies were invented by those in control of us, to make you think you have a choice. you do not. perhaps we never have. sometimes i am not so sure. but the founding fathers knew all of this. and for whatever reason and for whatever motives, they did give us a constitution, and a bill of rights, that can and will work if followed astutely. but, unfortunately, these documents have been lost in the sands of time now.
"How can a man who never whent to Vietnam send kids to die." Clinton did it, on a smaller scale.
I like how Mish put it:
Summary
Iraqi citizens want the U.S. Out of Iraq
U.S. Troops want the U.S. Out of Iraq
U.S. citizens want the U.S. Out of Iraq
Iraq parliament wants the U.S. Out of Iraq
U.S. Congress wants the U.S. Out of Iraq
One idiot stands in the way.
