Bottom line

Nothing that Bush has done has been successful is dealing with ANY foreign policy issue. Bush has said we need to judge by results. I agree. On that basis BUSH is a failure. Show me ONE major Foreign policy area where the policies we have been following during the Bush Administration has produced positive results?

More experts you can ignore;

The commanding general of the British forces in Iraq has said the foreign troops in Iraq are adding to the unrest and that it is time for the foreign troops to leave Iraq.

Fawaz Gerges a scholar who is considered one of the most knowledgeable about the unrest in Iraq and the surrounding countries was on CNN last night. He said that Bush does not understand the underlying issues in Iraq and the greater Moslem world. He said the issue in Iraq is NOT the foreign terrorists but that the basic fabric of Iraq and the discord of the three major factions are responsible for the violence in Iraq. He said if ALL the foreign terrorists were removed from Iraq the sectarian violence would continue and that Iraq is dissolving before our eyes. He believes that it is likely that in the long run Iraq will not survive as a single country but as three separate countries. He said on CNN that President Bush simply does not have a basic understanding of what is taking place in the region. That is the same argument Professor Record of the Army War College made and that Michael Scheuer (retired CIA section chief) made in his book, Imperial Hubris

First of all you said Iraq did not have a nuclear program so get your stories straight.

What the f_ck? No I didn't. Man you are stupid.

I typed Iraq. It should have been Iran. If you look at the Blog itself you will see that. You can not address the issue so you seize on a typo.

I'm sorry, I thought that my last reply addressed the issue. But I guess in you sick twisted mind, if it does not follow your mentallity, it doesn't count right? You're so stupid Col, it boggles the mind to think you could have written a book at all.

Bottom line Nothing that Bush has done has been successful is dealing with ANY foreign policy issue. Bush has said we need to judge by results. I agree. On that basis BUSH is a failure. Show me ONE major Foreign policy area where the policies we have been following during the Bush Administration has produced positive results?

Just one right? If I do, will you shut the f_ck up then?

This from the same NIE report that you blabbered so much about:

United States-led counterterrorism efforts have seriously damaged the leadership of al-Qa’ida and disrupted its operations

Sounds to me like we doing something right. However, Al-qaeda will not go down so easily. Still we have disrupted their system. This you can not deny. It is in the report. Now don't start with the "but the same report says" crap, cause you asked for 1 good result and there you have it.

Nuclear weapons are the BEST solution for any dictator that wants to reduce the possibility of an Iraq style invasion in the future!

Are you really dense enough to think the invasion style would be the same on a nuclear power? Please! I doubt we would put a single man on the ground if a regime change is necessary. At least not before we turned the time dial in North Korea back to the dark ages.

Ordinarily people live and learn. You just live.

Your posts show how shallow and unthinking a person you appear to be. When I provide specific information or opinions from people who have the experience in dealing with the issue at hand, you attack me. Below is a perfect example:

Incredible right? This guys seems to think that we are on some kind of warpath, that the US is in an invasion mode and that no country is safe. You would think that he'd be happy these people are scared of us but instead he blames us for them being afraid.

From the statements of Bush and our preemptive invasion of Iraq, what would you think if you were the Dictator in Iraq or North Korea? They hear the constant warnings from Bush that EVERYTHING is on the table and we will not accept them going nuclear. In addition, they saw our invasion of Iraq and removal of Saddam.

I sighted the opinion of an analyst with 30 years studying North Korea.

His name please?

Once again you act like the Korean dictator was sane before Bush came into office. His desire was always to obtain nuclear weapons. He would have done it regardless who was President. The only difference is a democrat probably would have helped him somehow.

I have already said his name was not released since he is an active member of our intelligence network. That does not change the relevance of his opinion.

I never said the North Korean Dictator was sane. What I said the actions of Bush both his statements and military policy would make ANY dictator afraid of the U.S and work even harder to acquire the means to prevent the U.S. from taking any action that might remove them from power. Nuclear weapons are about the BEST such tactic.

Yes it does. Any media organization can bring anybody on and claim they are an expert, especially if they don't even identify the person. It's not like the media hasn't made things up before, right col jihad?

And that's a stupid theory col to be perfectly honest. What you are trying to advocate is being nice to insane dictators. You or any other democrat CANNOT TELL US what their plan is for North Korea. Negotiations and talking have failed in the past. I agree Bush hasn't done enough because he hasn't bombed the plants yet.

All you do is complain about Bush and offer no other solution. They have been working for how many years col? They might have acquired them now.....well.....duh. We can thank years of negotiations, giving them money, and giving them time for that col. That is everyones fault right there.

The real problem is we are part of a corrupt organization called the U.N. that lets dictators around the world do whatever they want, then get defended when we want to take action. What side are you on col jihad? Because it's not ours.

IslandDog

Are you just stupid or what? I have said his name was not released for security.

I posted two others WITH NAMES that say the same thing

READ:

The commanding general of the British forces in Iraq has said the foreign troops in Iraq are adding to the unrest and that it is time for the foreign troops to leave Iraq.

Fawaz Gerges a scholar who is considered one of the most knowledgeable about the unrest in Iraq and the surrounding countries was on CNN last night.

He said on CNN that President Bush simply does not have a basic understanding of what is taking place in the region.

Are you just stupid or what? I have said his name was not released for security.

And you are taking the word of CNN. The left wing media are KNOWN LIARS col, something you should relate you.

It has nothing to do with CNN. The British General was on the news saying the continued presence of foreign troops was increasing the violence and they needed to leave. Mr. Gerges explained why Bush does not have a clue as to what is taking place in Iraq. They said what I included above. What does that have to do with CNN?

It has nothing to do with CNN.

Col, you cannot identify this "expert" you keep quoting. CNN will put anybody on the air as long as they bas Bush. I wonder why you haven't been invited.

Col, you have no solution except blame Bush. Cutting and running from Iraq is not the right thing to do. I suggest you go to Iraq and fight along side of the terrorists and help them liberate Iraq.

And from that general....

"He said we are going to see this through. He said: I'm on record saying we will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Americans. He also said that he remains committed to the vision of a unitary state in Iraq with a democratically elected government and security forces that underpin that government," the spokesman said, referring to the general.

IslandDog

As I have told you the analyst is not retired and his name was not released. That does not alter that he has 30 years of experience studying North Korea. CNN does not lie. Bush is the one who does not tell us the truth!

I have identified the British General and the other expert. No matter what evidence or expert opinion is presented you who blindly support Bush are just like him in that you never recognize when you are wrong.
