Soldiers MUST obey their orders For the second time there have been reports that members of the new Iraqi military REFUSED to serve where they were assigned. Our commanding General in Iraq said that is a VERY TROUBLING issue. Let’s turn the clock back to 1972 when 1LT George W. Bush was working on a political campaign in Alabama and did not want to serve in the Texas unit to which he was assigned. Lt Bush requested a transfer to Alabama and his request was turned down and Lt Bush was OR...

Should We Expect President Bush to Solve ALL Our Problems? NO! Should we expect the president to have made progress on some of the more important issues? YES! When I ask Bush supporters to DOCUMENT the improvement of major issues that confronted him upon taking office there is DEAD SILENCE. When I ask his supporters about issues that today are MAJOR problems that his policies created, such Iraq and the return of the Annual Budget Deficit, there is DEAD SILENCE. The truth is...

I hope George W. Bush takes a GOOD LOOK at the Gulf area one year after Katrina. The pictures are sickening—trash all over and not one thing done in many areas to even start rebuilding our country. We have money to give BIG OIL tax cuts, give the wealthy tax cuts, pledge money to help rebuild Lebanon, give Israel $4 Billion per year in foreign aide and spend between $6-8 Billion per week in Iraq but the devastation from Katrina remains! Bush says it takes time. It will take an et...

Bush Urges GOP to Focus on Economy From Associated Press August 22, 2006 5:55 AM EDT (Lower case statements are per Bush and the AP story, UPPER case statements are the truth per me) WASHINGTON - Even though he's not running for re-election this year, President Bush knows just what he would focus on if he were: the economy and taxes. As Republicans face an increasingly tough political outlook, in part because of Bush's sagging approval ratings, the president offered some advice ...

Bush continues to tell us that his policies in Iraq were correct and we must STAY THE COURSE in Iraq. WHAT IS THE MISSION OF OUR MILITARY IN IRAQ? If our Mission is to move Iraq toward stability, WE ARE NOT SUCCEEDING! If our mission is to reduce sectarian violence, WE ARE NOT SUCCEEDING! If our mission is to Kill and Injure American troops, WE ARE SUCCEEDING! If our mission is to spend billions of dollars EVERY week, WE ARE SUCCEEDING!

November 29, 2005 by Gene P. Abel Let’s let time prove who was correct. If you look at the book I wrote two years ago about what it would mean to keep Bush in The White House, you will see MOST of what I said would happen has already taken place. I will be happy to go back over what I predicted would be the impact of the Bush policies on our country. Here are just a few: We will continue to lose living wage jobs. The National Debt will be about $10 Trillion in Jan 2009 ...

From the Philadelphia Inquirer Posted on Sun, Aug. 13, 2006email thisprint thisEditorial | Reconstructing IraqAnother fine mess The list of mistakes the Bush administration has made after swiftly deposing Saddam Hussein could stretch from Washington to Baghdad. It would form a rocky and rutted path, one that seems to be twisting further away from a stable, unified Iraq. That goal has been made harder by the White House's clumsiness in rebuilding the physical, governmental and civilia...

Our Policy in Iraq and the entire Moslem area is a total failure. Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Israeli/ Palestinian conflict is a disaster.

Yesterday the two new democracies Bush helped create in the Moslem World broke with his policies. Prime Minister Saniora rejected the U.S/ French UN resolution to stop the fighting in Lebanon because it does not demand Israel leave Lebanon and the Arab League appears to agree that the Bush proposal is unacceptable. Prime Minister Maliki in Iraq sharply rejected the U.S. attack on a Shiite strong hold in Sadr City and said, “This won’t happen again” It is hard to believe how inept Bus...

The pipe line failure in Alaska is a good example of the crumbling infrastructure in this country. Water and sewer systems, dams, bridges, the electric grids, pipe lines are all in desperate need of replacing. Bush gave Iraq $20 Billion to help rebuilding the infrastructure in Iraq but has ignored the very same needs in America. We grant tax cuts to people that do not need the money and start wars that do not need to be fought both of which use the resources we need to rebuild t...

SOURCE: Vijay Joshi Associated Press Baghdad The people of the liberated Iraq are now demonstrating their disapproval of our policy in the Middle-East. There were similar demonstrations in Cairo, Damascus and Amman. All over the Moslem world the HATE for Israel and the United States is clear. Bush and his LAP DOG Rice are really helping those that would perpetrate another 9/11. He is the BEST recruiter for terrorists EVER.

Yesterday the head of the national guard, LTG Blum admitted that 2/3 of the National Guard Brigades are NOT COMBAT-ready because their equipment has been destroyed in Iraq. That followed the very same assessment provided Congress by the Pentagon about the Active military. The Bush adventure in Iraq has DESTROYED the wheel and track equipment for our entire land military forces Active and Reserve. As shocking as this admission is, what followed shows the true incompetence of the Comm...

The Prime Minister on Lebanon told Secretary of State Rice yesterday that the Israeli attacks have destroyed 50 YEARS of work and pleaded for a cease fire. The Bush administration has chosen to allow Israel to continue destroying this country and the new government by driving the people of Lebanon closer to Syria. Reporters have interviewed the people fleeing Lebanon into Syria and they blame Israel NOT Hezbollah. What our policy of not demanding a cease Fire like the UN and most other w...
