Bush Blowing More Smoke About Iraq

Published on September 4, 2007 By COL Gene In Politics

Bush is telling everyone the Surge is Working when the facts say the opposite. Yes in Al Anbar Province the violence is much better but in the north and south the violence is much worse. Overall the death toll is UP and there is no progress on the political front. The Police Force is a problem and the Iraqi Military can not function on their own. For Bush to declare the surge is working to reduce the violence in Iraq is simply not true and the death toll and lack of political progress shows he is lying again!

Hey ID, did you notice how he aligned himself with the Democrats here below?

I'm going to stop feeding these useless posts. If I want lies, "gloom and doom" predictions, and general encouragement of failure, I will just read press releases from the DNC. It's not like they are that much different.

Let's face it Bush has got skewed people on his team--so skewed they couldn't run a small town!

remember that info came from tenet whom is now being hailed has the all seeing guru.

When I was working and I made mistakes I looked at alternatives to accomplish the task at hand.

what i want to know is when did you destroy your brain.

Bush does what he wants and disregards any advice or data that does not support what he wants. He never admits he was wrong and just keeps going in a direction that has failed in the past

sounds like a leader to me.

We will all pay in the future for a President the likes of GWB!

Stop speaking for "all" of us. Once again you have to be so dramatic about something.
This nothing to do with speaking for "All of us"

The fact is that we will pay for his fiscal policy. For what he has done to Medicare. We will pay for his not moving us toward less dependence on oil and on the fact he has continued to allow illegal’s to flow into our country. His Iraq war will harm our country for decades to come and the worst may still be in the future. These are actions by Bush that will impact all Americans in a very negative way. The fact you do not want to admit the negative impact of the Bush policies will not alter their harm to all of us including you.

Your definition of "harm" is different than everyone else's. You think the democrats socialist agenda is something to look forward to, so your opinion is useless as usual.

Since you think illegals flowing into this country is so harmful, what are you going to say when the democrats allow them in and make them the next welfare class? Will you criticize them on a daily basis, or give them the usual pass?

You are completely one-sided and it shows everyday. You deal with the most negatives scenarios, and are completely pessimistic about everything as long as you can complain about Bush. The fact is everyone is not "harmed", everyone is not as bad off as you make it. You sir, are a propagandist and political hack!

No it is the same. Higher taxes because of his tax and spend policies. Higher gas prices because he did NOTHING about our dependence on foreign oil. The ongoing cost of the Iraq war. Adding to the commitments on Medicare without paying for those NEW Entitlements. The continuing impact due to his failed trade policy and the loss of American Jobs. The millions of added illegal’s that came into our country because he did not enforce our laws. All these and more will cause all of us harm no matter how you define harm!

LOL. So you are going to blame Bush when the democrats raise taxes? You are hilarious.

If you think all of these things are harmful, too bad you don't talk about democrats except being apologists for them. What do you think democrats are going to do about illegals gene?

during the 80s and 90s when the demos were in charge of the congress they wanted gas prices to be 5 dollars a gallon. the difference they wanted it all to be taxes to spend however they wanted to.

The Dems will get the blame for increasing taxes to pay for the Bush and GOP spending and the Iraq war.

It has NOTHING to do with better intelligence or better information. It has EVERYTHING to do with Bush Cherry Picking TRUE Facts that helps him spin his point and ignoring ALL other facts that do not support what he wants. No one is saying that Al Anbar is not more secure as Bush indicated. However the situation in the north and in the Basra Area are also facts. The overall death toll is UP. The lack of political progress has been established by our government. Studies by OUR people have concluded that the Iraqi Police Force is a major problem and that the Iraqi Military can not stand on its own after almost 5 years. The GAO has established the reconstruction operation is a failure and after 5 years basic services in Iraq are BE LOW the levels under Saddam. Reduced violence in one section of Iraq does not make all the other things go away. No Bush does not have better information he just ignores most of the facts because they show his policies have failed.

Hey clown....why don't you "try" to sell this idea to General Patreus, Katie Couric, Senator Hillary Clinton (D -NY), Rep. Brian Baird (D –Wash.), Rep. Jerry McNerney (D - Calif.), Rep. Tim Mahoney (D – Fla.) who ALL say you're full of B*LLSH*T! These 5 and a HOST of Democratic others! And BTW, the first two and the last 3 have actually BEEN to Iraq. Have you? I thought not! So do some reading, why don't you "before" you run you lips INCORRECTLY and show the "world" what a fool you are! Wrong again, huh?

For your stupidity on this, I give you a "new" name....."WRONG WAY Klink"! As in "I know nothing, nothing"!

They want to Balance the budget that Bush and the GOP took from balanced in 2000 to a $400 Billion annual deficit and another $4 Trillion on the National Debt. You can not blame the democrats for that!

Hey you flaming idiot-- Look at the facts:

The GAO said the Surge is not working.

The death rate is up from last year and it is higher in July and August then at any time since we invaded Iraq.

The report on the Police Force and the status of the Iraqi Army from Gen Jones says that are not capable of acting independently and it will take years to achieve that.

Petraeus will tell Congress there is some Military Progress but other areas are worse and overall the Surge has not accomplished what was expected.

Corker will tell Congress there is very little political progress and the prospect for the Iraqi Government to be able to govern Iraq is not good.

HOW THE HELL IS THAT PROGERSS?????

You Just wait till Bush wins in 2008 people like you will bot be allowed to print falsehoods anymore. He will enact a law banning anything that does not tell the truth. When he wins again for his fourth term in 2012 he is declaring himself ruler of the world and forcing the U.N. to pay him rent and dues. When he wins in 2016 he will decided that thwe middle east is not worth saving, give Florida to the Jews and nuke the rest of the countries back to the stone-Age. Then in 2016 his name will be the only name on the ballot, he will make all foreigners register with the foreigner watchdog committee and totally ban the Democratic party.
