Specifically what avoidable decisions has Bush made that have so many hating him?

[royalfan]

You Anti-bush Guys Are Just Plain Silly. Grow Up And Pay Attention To Whats Going On In The World!

My opinion also. That is the point of this thread to hear some reasons why. I have heard one so far that I somewhat disagree with but is at least a good answer from Wild Bill.

Ashcroft has done a terrific job, IMO he deserves the Nobel peace prize.

Bush did exactly the right thing taking out Saddam.

So actually those are 2 correct decisions Bush made.

Kerry would argue Bush was asleep at the wheel for 4 years if Saddam was still in business.

Of course the Iraq War, as fought, was avoidable. People conveniently forget that the inspectors were in the middle of doing their job when the US, not Saddam, kicked them out. Whether evemtually a war with Iraq would have been necessary is debatable, but the starting the war in March 2003 was definitely avoidable.

The Anti-bush People Can Bash The Guy All They Want But The Intelligence Was What It Was And The President Acted Appropraitely. In The End We Removed A Ruthless Dictator Who Slaughtered Hundreds Of Thousdans Of Innocent People And Wanted Nothing More Than To Wipe The Usa Off The Planet. There Is No Room For Partisanship When It Comes To National Security, But I Believe Mr George Tenet Came On Board During The William Clinton Administration, One Of The Worst In The History Of Our Great Nation.

That seems kind of funny since there was evidence of Sadam and his boys trying to deceive the inspectors. And like they were going to find the needle in a haystack anyway.

The unilateral invasion of a sovereign nation in contravention of an international treaty signed by the US.

Iraq was attempting to shoot the United States of Americans fine weapon systems out of the sky, while patrolling the no fly zone as the UN requested. What other reason does one need to take the tyrant out? That is an act of war. France, Germany and Russia were bought off by Saddam while at the same time Russia and France where selling Iraq weapons just a month before we started to liberate the Iraqi's. It was going on under Clinton the whole time and Bush is no Clinton, as Saddam, Germany, Russia, and France are finding out. It's not all that bad to de hated - better to make some impression than no impression at all, when your right.

How was Iraq going deliver these non exisistent wmd to American soil?

How many resolutions does it take in your opinion?

The October 18 issue of "Time," magazine has the latest
report on how Saddam bluffed about WMD. Why don't you
check it out? Very interesting.

 

[Jointpleasure]

I saw a pretty big explosion in the Green Zone yesterday on the tube. Muslims wearing backpacks - just backpacks. Lots of damage and injuries and dead bodies all around. But, if your looking for the WMD that you could stuff in an envelope - It now appears Saddam had a lab working on it- Sunday, on Fox News. Uranium and ricin as well as other material have been found - but I know, they don't count.

Stac,
I've only bought one issue of Time Magazine - about 12 years ago withRush Limbaugh on the cover.

 

[JudgeWapner]

In terms of being a direct threat to the US,I would think that Iraq was far behind N Korea ,Iran and Syria.

 

[stacilu]

JP

Should give it another chance.

 

[Jointpleasure]

Iran is the biggest threat IMO and some otherwho know much more than me but I will predict that if/when we get it on with them, it will be swift with less casualties and injuries than we have had in Iraq. BTW, Iranians and Syrians are in Iraq and being disposed of, probably this very hour!

 

[royalfan]

In terms of being a direct threat to the US,I would think that Iraq was far behind N Korea ,Iran and Syria.

I don't agree that it was at the time. An argument could be made that they are becoming very real threats now though.

 

[Jointpleasure]

Took a course on bias, don't trust them stac.

 

[stacilu]

I too am no military genius, but I don't understand how
we will be able to take care of them with less casualties,
unless God forbid we nuke them. By casualties I am
assuming you mean American casualties.

 

[royalfan]

Still only one logical response, although I disagree with it for the most part. Pretty much what I figured. Surely you left wingers can come with some reasons you hate bush so bad that were unavoidable.

 

[JudgeWapner]

Well,one that comes to mind is his promise to unify. I haven't seen the country so divided since the 60s. His refusal to acknowledge that our economy is f*cked right now.Will let you know if i think of anymore.
