and we don’t understand how people can bash the president so bad for the war in Iraq and every thing else. You people do know its more than him making decsions to invade Iraq and any other decsions he make he has hundreds of advisors, are you people that blind to see that he is a good and honest and decent man and he is trying to do the best he can do??? He does not sit in the OVAL office getting blow jobs all day, and some people thinks that the last president was better than bush you people are funny.

baby there's just too many ungrateful people out there. one person said iraq didn't invade us, al quida did. and that we are protecting iraq, not the US. That is THE STUPIDEST claim I've ever heard and i pray that person isn't an american. we are in IRAQ to help them over come the taliban and al quida and other terrorist groups and have their country back so they can run how they want, in the mean time we ARE protecting the US because by eliminating the terrorists, which in turn eliminates the threat, not just to the US but the entire world... forget what happened in london??? The public is so blind sided by the media its almost funny to me... people are so damn gullible LOL!!!!!!!!!
Just like any military officer, the President is the senior leader in charge therefore he is responsible for EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS AND EVERYTHING THAT FAILS TO HAPPEN. Look at the Marines shooting civilians in Iraq, the Commandant of the Marine Corps was getting flak for that even though he had nothing to do with it. He was/is the senior Marine and is responsible for all the Marines actions 24 hrs/7days a week, everywhere in the world. This goes for the President as well.
Bush may not be the sole cause of every problem in Iraq but he has the power and authority to overrule every decision made there. Ultimately, Bush is a good guy, but he is in charge and the problem is HIS because he sits in the Oval Office.
The American people do bash other politicians though. Rumsfeld took a lot of heat and finally resigned, and many of the other lackies of the 2000-2004 Bush administration were fired, replaced, or quit. The President is just the easiest to target because he was the one who ultimately signed all the papers and made the case in front of the US for war. When the public needs a whipping boy it will ALWAYS be the President.
People bash the president for the same reason they bash Britney Spears. Because he's a public figure. He's famous. He's the leader of our country and there's nothing that can be done yet. I think we are better off with Bush than we would have been with Al Gore (What would he have done when 9/11 happened?) or John Kerry (He scares me just a little). I like president Bush. I think he's a sweet man and a lot more honest than many politicians. I just don't know if this war was the way to go. But we can't turn back now. Those car bombs we hear about everyday? They would still happen even if we weren't there. What makes you think our leaving would stop the violence? It would only get worse.
Ah Yes the infamous President Bashing. I did not vote for Bush in either election. But he is the President of the greatest country in the world. So, he has alot of shoes to wear. i support him though.
People see the rhetoric of " No weapons of mass destruction" or "no terrorists" in Iraq. Hell he had both. I do not think he decided to gas the Kurds in the 80's and say, " Oh that was horrible, i am not going to make that anymore". No more so than after America dropped atomic bombs on Japan did we say it.
Iraq was and continues to be a cest pool of terrorists activities. The blinded people of America have a stronger voice. Because it is easier to convince someone of a lie than the truth.
Mustang, just want to say thank you to you and your lovely wife for serving and doing the one thing that most liberals are afraid to do and that is stand up and fight for what you believe in. I agree with you that most people only believe what they see and hear in the media, they have no idea what kind of pressure President Bush must be under. By the way Merry Christmas to you and your family, be safe, and again "Thank You"...
