I Hope Bush is Proud of What He Did in Iraq!

Published on November 23, 2006 By COL Gene In Politics

Today as we all give thanks for our great country we see the results of what George W. Bush has done by invading Iraq. I hope Bush, as he sits down for his Thanksgiving dinner, looks at what he has done. His insistence of invading Iraq has set the stage for what is the worst single attack in Iraq. In a single attack today there are150 Dead and 250 injured. In October over 3,700 Iraqi people dead and over 100 American Military were killed.

Anyone that agrees with Bush that we are winning in Iraq is on another planet. We can not stop the civil war in Iraq and it is time to leave and allow the people of Iraq to deal with this violence. The only thing our continued presence will do is cost more American lives and injuries with no impact on the killing that will take place in this civil war we have enabled to develop.

The new material is150 Dead and 250 injured on a single day in Iraq. This would not have happened if Bush had not invaded Iraq!

What about those who died under saddam? Starvation, murder, torture?

Yes we have replaced the killing by Saddam with the killing by the various sectarian groups. How is the killing we enabled any better?

First - There was no reason for this country to be in Iraq much less trying to do Nation Building. That is NOT the not the function of our military. Bush lied about the danger to our country as a pretext to invading a Moslem country with what they consider a Christian Army. Bush was warned by Powell as well as others that that would most likely result in the U S becoming stuck in a quagmire. He did not listen.

Yawn!!! The time for these arguments are loooooooooong since past. Your record player is stuck Gene, move on to MP3s for once in your life.

NEWS FLASH... We are there! The ONLY thing we should be discussing now is how best to WIN!

In a like manor he did not listen when his most senior military leaders told him to secure Iraq would take about 500,000 troops.

Yet the commanders on the ground have stated (time and time again) that they don't want more troops. Are you arguing here that wars should be fought in Washington? If you are then the lessons learned from Vietnam were completely lost on you. Did you sleep the the Army War College, or were you just too stoned to care?

He has changed the rational for invading Iraq at least three times and not ONE of the reasons Bush gave us has proven true.

Blatant lie!! Prs. Bush gave 4 reasons for going into Iraq in the State of the Union Address of 2003. WMD, Terrorism, Free the Iraqi People and Bring Saddam Hussein to justice. What has changed since then?

Every day Iraq moves closer and closer to all out civil war and the government we help installed is moving closer to Iran who Bush tells us is another danger.

Hey fool! The only reason we are even there anymore is the TERRORISTS have chosen to engage us in Iraq. NEWS FLASH, we can't control what they choose to do. If a civil war errupts it will be THEIR choice, not Prs. Bush's. If the terrorists pulled out next week the nation could get on with the business of self governing and our troops could redeploy.

And another NEWS FLASH for the stupid, WE didn't install the government of Iraq. The People of Iraq had a FREE election. I know, I know, it isn't YOUR freedom so you spit on it.

Any person who can support the actions of Bush in Iraq is a TRATOR and is supportive of a WAR that has not made America safer at a cost of over 2,800 America lives, over 20,000 injuries and so far 1/2 Trillion tax dollars. Anyone that supports that does not deserve to be called an American!

Stinking Bit of Rancid Tallow, if you have a problem with this war, spread the blame to everyone involved. BOTH Houses of Congress approved this war so (contrary to your childish rants) it WAS and IS Constitutional. Of course, slime like you couldn't care less about the Constitution.

If you want to be against the war in Iraq, that is your right. But PLEASE pull your nose away from your coke spoon and at least protest it based on at least 1 actual fact!

The commanders on the ground know better then to ask for more troops. For one thing we do not have any more since Bush did nothing to increase the size of the military over the past six years. The senior Generals that did tell Bush what was needed were dismissed. The facts on the ground show that Bush was WRONG and our military has paid the price in American Blood because Bush WOULD NOT LISTEN.

You are the fool. What is taking place is Iraqi killing Iraqi-- This is a civil war. The foreign terrorists are a SIDE SHOW. There have been three days where the situation is out of control. The Army and police force we have spent 3 1/2 years training sat and watched the Iraqi’s killing each other.

We provided the ability for the current government to be put into place. We removed the prior Prime minister in favor of al Maliki who has proven he CAN NOT control the sectarian violence. Everything that is taking place in Iraq is taking place because we invaded that country deposed Saddam and did not prevent the sectarian violence that is destroying this country. Your TOTAL denial is just like Bush and Cheney.

Congress does not run the way this war was conducted. Once the Congress gave Bush the OK it became a Bush Show and he could not done a worse job!

Bush Keeps Plans to Meet With Iraqi PM
By DEB RIECHMANN (Associated Press Writer)
From Associated Press
November 24, 2006 8:33 PM EST
WASHINGTON - President Bush is sticking to his plan to hold a summit in Jordan next week with the head of Iraq, despite threats from radical Shiites to boycott parliament if Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki goes.

At the same time, the White House on Friday deplored anew the escalating wave of violence in Iraq.

"These ruthless acts of violence are deplorable," said Deputy Press Secretary Scott Stanzel. "It is an outrage that these terrorists are targeting innocents in a brazen effort to topple a democratically elected government, and it is not going to work."

In Baghdad, followers of anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr warned they would suspend their membership in the Iraqi parliament and cabinet if al-Maliki kept his appointment with Bush in Amman on Wednesday and Thursday. That put al-Maliki in a difficult position because he needs the support of both Bush and al-Sadr.

The al-Sadr bloc in parliament and government is the backbone of al-Maliki's political support, and its withdrawal, if only temporarily, would be a severe blow to the prime minister's already shaky hold on power.

"Securing Baghdad and gaining control of the violent situation will be a priority agenda item when President Bush meets with Prime Minister al-Maliki in just a few days," Stanzel said.

A senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the two leaders' meeting, said the president does not expect that al-Sadr's threat to withdraw from the Iraqi government will prompt al-Maliki to cancel his meeting with Bush.

Bush, who spent Thanksgiving at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, is leaving Monday for Europe where he will attend a NATO summit before meeting with al-Maliki Tuesday and Wednesday in Amman, Jordan. Presidential advisers are keeping Bush abreast of the heightened violence in Iraq during his stay this weekend at Camp David, Md.

Shiite militiamen doused six Sunni Arabs with kerosene and burned them alive as Iraqi soldiers stood by, and killed 19 other Sunnis in attacks on their mosques Friday, taking revenge for the slaughter of at least 215 Shiites in the Sadr City slum the day before.

The mosque attacks came after the government, in a desperate attempt to avert civil war, imposed a sweeping curfew on the capital, shut down the international airport and closed the country's main outlet to the shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf.

The president has steadfastly stood behind the U.S. commitment to Iraq, even though growing public displeasure with the protracted war contributed significantly to Democrats retaking the House and Senate from the Republicans in the midterm elections.

His meeting with al-Maliki next week comes as a special high-level commission, headed by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, is mulling recommendations for possible changes in U.S. policy in Iraq. It is expected to make its findings known sometime next month.

Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Mark Ballesteros said Friday that al-Maliki's government remains steadfast despite the violence.

"The government of Iraq is intent on restoring order and maintaining security throughout Baghdad," Ballesteros said.

Defense analyst Dan Goure, with the northern Virginia-based Lexington Group, said the spiraling violence may mean that the Bush administration will have to take a hard line with al-Maliki.

"We've been trying to bring along a stable Iraqi government and that may not be possible," Goure said. Instead, he said, the U.S. may need to impose order, and "it may be that that order may have to be one that favors certain groups."

He said Bush may have to tell Maliki next week that either he suppresses the violence or the U.S. will withdraw support for him.

Your right Gene, it's all a conspiracy, Commanders don't think for themselves and the illuminati are really running the show. Pull your head out of that aluminum foil lined hat and get over your blind hatred. There is more to life than "anybody Baaa-ut Bush".

Pefect example of what I said earlier. You don't know how to do something correctly, but "I'm" the fool. How typically ignorant of you.

Of course "you" can see it fool. Ever heard of a "cache" file? Just because you can see it does not mean the rest of us can. Nor does it mean someone is "stupid" or foolish because they can't see it. Here is a "direct" quote from the page!

Drop the Bush hate BS. The reality of what is taking place is clear. It is also clear that we would not be in this position had it not been for Bush. This is his war. We were not attacked and there was no reason for the U. S. to invade Iraq.

Well, the facts will come out during the investigations next year. We'll just have to wait and see what the true story is.
