Bush Apology

Aside from the fact that ANYTHING from the Huffington post is only worthy of the most finely polished dog turd....what's your point? Is any president 'ready' to come into office and go right to war? Will Ballsack be ready? Would you WANT any prez if they came in running as 'being ready for war'? I might, as well as some others...but would you?
 
I agree with you P-driver

I guess they want Bush to be a pompous jerk like Bill Clinton. Stand up and publicly dismiss his shortcomings until he has no other choice. It is like in 2000 when they dig up an old DWI (or the like, I do not remember for sure exactly what it was) on Bush. He totally disarmed it with truth and humility. Personally, I appreciate humility in people; some do not.

Bush along with our amazing military did a great job protecting this country which is a presidents first and foremost job #1.
The economy sure isn't the best and although the media would like to have us believe it is all Bush's fault it just isn't so. There is plenty of blame to go around on both sides the Republican's and Democrat's.
I for one will always be grateful we had Bush during the trying times after 9/11. He had the guts to make the tough decisions and keep us from further harm.

Good lord, could you imagine if Gore had won in 2000...

We'd all be "saved" from global warming, no? I like walking 12 miles to work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

HuffPo White Buzzard? Lots of class there.
 
I'm busy this AM and don't have the time to do one of my dissections on the HuffPost article, but here is one example:

"I think I was unprepared for war," Bush told ABC News' Charlie Gibson in an interview airing today on "World News."

Um OK. I'd hope to shout he was unprepared. Can ANYBODY point out to me a US President truly PREPARED for a war?

OK, we were well prepared to attack Grenada. Fine, that's one. Hells bells, Jimmy Carter couldn't even get a few choppers refueled to get 'em into to Iran!

Was Johnson 'prepared' for Vietnam? No. Truman Korea? No. FDR WII? [beeep] no!

A REAL journalist would have asked the Java follow up:"Well, Mr President, what wartime president was "prepared" for the traumatic historical event(s) against the backdrop of which he had to lead?" That would accurately FRAME the issue for the reader.

Instead, true to form, Gibson played more 'gotcha.'

After the Palin nonsense with this guy Gibson, I have NO idea why they agreed to let him near another Republican ever again.

More fuel for the argument that the Republican party needs ground-up restoration.

Put me in charge of that media unit and there'd be a lot of guys on the streets of DC passing our their resumes the next day...
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Bill "BJ" Clinton have an opportunity or two to "fix" the Obama...oops...Osama (I seem to get these two confused with each other) problem ? Think he was too distracted with under desk politics to worry about real world problems.

In Bill's defense, (and I hardly ever defend a Clinton /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif), he was not cavorting with Monica the day he was presented the information that Osama was available to be caught.

He was involved in a highly classified and important game of golf, and, if memory serves me right, berated and dressed down the aide that brought him the message.

As far as I am concerned, he has the blood of the 9/11 attacks on his hands.

The speach he should have gave a year or two ago.

Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.

I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.



The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media.



Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to [beeep]. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied...People Died' foolishness either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.



Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ' Clinton ' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you?

Now some of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan , a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to t he IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to re-elect him He also thinks it's okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel . Did you sleep through high school?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.



That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and they are all over the globe.

You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'



Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, CNN or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that is below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.



I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.



Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that's it. God bless what's left of America .
 
Received this in an e-mail and thought it would be great:

A 5-Step Democracy in Action Program

1- Bush resigns now.
2- Dick Cheney becomes President.
3- He appoints Condoleeza Rice as VP.
4- Then, two weeks later, he resigns.
5- Condoleeza Rice, a Republican and a woman, becomes the first BLACK President!

Works for me!!

With the exception of his poor stance on the mexican border, I think Bush has done as good a job as any prez. Bush has done everything humanly possible to keep us from taking another hit. All he gets is grief from the Demonrats and the media.

Would anybody like to compare the body count of the bad guys vs the 4300 American KIAs? We went into Iraq and the bad guys followed us there only to meet their maker. Same goes for Afghanistan.

We're getting pretty good at fighting the terrorist, but the liberals, and rags like the NY Times work against the efforts of the President and our troops.

Nice try Black Bird, but your post is a big FAIL.
 
bush did absolutely nothing in the way of protecting anything other than special interests and his wallet. I for one am glad the door is hitting him square in his ragged azz and as for his happy, blissful retirement, well, may it be a fun filled "day". Don't confuse guts w/lack of brains.

daddyrabbit - No I don't confuse too many things in life.....especially when it comes to making hard decisions that may be not be popular but are the right thing to do.
Since though you seem to have a handle on what you think is right and what President Bush did was wrong I would like to know how you would have handled 9/11 and what Bush did that was for his financial benefit.......and please know that I think this is a really uniformed statement at best.
But do please give details as I would love to have this discussion with you.
Thanks
 
Easy, I'd have went after the "perpetrator" which by the way was not and is not in Iraq! Funny how bush changed his tune about Bin isn't it? First it was, "we'll follow him to the end of the world" to "I'm not concerned w/Bin..who". Why even pompous bush said himself that regrets going into Iraq. Ever hear of contracts? Do you think for a millisecond that this war was over "Taaareoismm", liberation?!?! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Quid Pro Quo, now, why do you think we went to Iraq and are still there and what would you have done after 911, I.e location?
