And he very publicly ran a campaign of disinformation and fear-mongering to manufacture support for the unnecessary war that put those very same troops in harm's way.
ONLY so far as Bush's job was to start a war in Iraq...and he accomplished that. But to say Mission Acomplished and then ignore all the maimings and years of death that followed is stupid, disrespectful, and definitely UNclassy.
""It marked the end of major combat.""
WHAT!? You MISSED the last 8 years!!! What was THAT ...a snowball fight!
"""What about all those "darth" Democrats who voted to take action against Iraq?""
They were fed Bush administration lies and the stage was set so that anyone who disagreed was labeled Un-American, Un-Patriotic and treasonous.....even though they were right.
Yes, mission accomplished. Meaning the end of major combat. "Major" meaning a large-scale land invasion. Understand now?
Im sorry, but you cant fake this. You cant fake George W. Bush's view and respect for our military. With Barry, it has the feel of a publicity stunt for photo ops. You dont get that realness feeling to it.
While I disagree with some of Bush's ideology and actions, he earned a lot of respect from me for his love for the military servicemen.
God bless George W. Bush and I have to give it to him for letting Barry do his thing and not getting involved. A president has enough fire coming from all directions usually that they dont need an ex-prez to chime in. Though Barry has only recently really started to get much heat from the media but thats a different story.
George and his wife have been very classy. I think they are wrong on some things politically, but they are classy.
So he starts a useless bogus WAR in Iraq and you think just because he thanks the troops coming home he is a class act and deserves respect?
That is like thanking a rapist who screwed your daughter for taking her virginity away!
All you need to do is read the pages of this thread for proof of what I said, if you are capable of realising the truth and not the GOP lie.
That is not a proper defense to your claim.
All you have to do is to make proper citation to evidence that supports your claim. You instead vaguely refer to that evidence being in this thread yet do not refer to it directly.
I could respond in a equally fallacious manner claiming that all you have to do is read this thread to see that your claims are false.
See the problem?
Again, maybe you could properly support your claim?
And he very publicly ran a campaign of disinformation and fear-mongering to manufacture support for the unnecessary war that put those very same troops in harm's way.
And, again, I contend (and facts support) that Bush & Co. ignored intel that didn't support their agenda. They encouraged their fellow Americans to believe that Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks (he was not). They exploited the fear factor about WMDs that they knew did not exist. They persisted in the dissemination of misinformation until they could no longer get away with it. They lied.
You keep repeating kerry. And I again ask, did kerry READ the authorization he voted on or not? The Authorization gave Bush authority to do WHAT HE DEEMED NECESSARY. If Kerry wanted restrictions he should have worked tohave the inserted into the Authorization.
We can agree to dis-agree on the facts. You are not going to change my mind and I am not going to change yours.
the funny thing is how people fall for it and take it as genuine.
there is no genuine with politicians. everything is calculated and for a reason.
he's doing something in the near future, probably a book.
