Topic: RE: Bush Won't Pull Troops in Iraq
I can hardly stand to read these posts because they cause such anger inside me.
I wanted to reply to your little blurb about Clinton lied and no one died. Al Qaeda was busy during the Clinton Administration; the group took responsibility:
for the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993,
bombing of the U.S.S. Cole,
attacks on two U.S. military barracks in Saudi Arabia,
bombing of two U.S. Embassies in Africa, and
the attacks on United States soldiers in Somalia which was a horror and we left that completely unanswered and turned and ran.
Throughout these attacks, Clinton did nothing to protect America or her citizens. Perhaps had he done something except be a jovial clown things would have been different. It is easy to blame President Bush for the state of the world but we were hated by many Muslims long before he took office. I am not sure I agree with the war in Iraq but I do believe it is important that we do not cut and run. The terrorists believe we as a Nation are weak and don't have the stomach to actually fight and I guess it is true.

that really did get ugly there, and I'm sorry that you're leaving because you really did add value to this discussion.

Wow........that is really eye opening!! It's a shame. There's such crookedness going on. Makes me sick. I never said I was a Bush fan. I really used to be like in 2000 but not so much anymore.

Well, either you didn't see it, or you aren't acknowledging it, but I just presented you with some of the background on the what is going on over there.
Essentially, what makes GWB a bad president is that he ignored what the experts told him about the region and invaded anyway.
Now, your mom lied to you and brought you to the doctors for a booster shot knowing that the booster shot was going to help matters.
GWB had plenty of information from people who knew the region (including his own generals and military brass and his father's National Security Advisor) that told him that this invasion was not a good idea, and that we were going to get bogged down into an occupation that would last a VERY long time and would cost a lot of lives (American and Iraqi).
And he went in anyway.

So, it's up to us to be sure that our values are forced upon people all over the world?
Do we, or do we not, have more pressing matters here at home?

Well, there are a lot of companies that have gotten contracts for rebuilding infrastructure in Iraq. Most of these contracts have been obtained without any formal bidding process (which is standard for government contracts). So in other words, where companies would normally have to bid for contracts, these companies have not had to do so.
Halliburton, who has ties w/ V.P. Cheney, has gotten a lot of these contracts, as well as one of their subsidiaries, Kellogg Brown & Root.
Oh, and there's about $12 billion that's completely unaccounted for.
Yep, that's $12 billion.

Angel what I call the way we think is....Common Sense. Why are people so mad that we went into Iraq and captured and Killed someone who has killed hundreds of thousands of people?? And if they want to keep up with the whole "GW Lied to us" Well I tell ya my mom used to lie to me when we went to the doctor to get booster shots, she would tell me I wasn't gonna get a shot, then bam, got a shot. Does that make my mom a bad mom?? Nope so why is GW a bad president?
