ACTOR Mickey Rourke sympathises with U.S. President George W Bush - insisting he doesn't know how any politician could have successfully navigated America after the 9/11 attacks on New York.

Never thought much of his movies,but his comments on Bush and Islam are right on.
He must have seen the President’s awful last news conference on Monday.
I appreciate the guy’s comments............however I, for one, am really glad that George W. Bush was my President after 9-11.
They had no alternative but to destroy the president even at the obvious dreadful cost to their own country and people. The 'rats didn't care. And Bush misunderstood the nature of the domestic threat. He thought the 'rats were simply engaging in politics as usual. He was wrong.
Thus Bush Derangement Syndrome was born.
With a responsible and loyal rather than a treasonous opposition, history would be very different, and much more salutary for the nation.
If Gore won we would still be having investigations to find out what went wrong on 911..
Kerry would be blaming it on America..
I will go with Bush
That is as concise and to-the-point analysis of the George Bush years as I have ever read.
It's a keeper....in my save file! Thanks Buzzard.
BDS always existed check out some of the sh*t,that was going around when he ran for Gov of Texas.
Bush's problem is imho he is a nice guy, not good if you are a politician.
And with those comments...Rourke probably lost his shot at an Oscar.
I don’t participate in Hollyweird at any level. My personal separation started November 5, 2008. I’ve never been happier.
The first thought that ran through my mind and everyone in earshot when 9/11 happened was “Thank god Algore is not the president!”. If you have a different opinion please share.
Rourke plays St Francis in a film titled “Francis”. He is wonderful. I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED IT...a must see.
~~~Right on PING!!
Ignore the salty language of the article for a sane appraisal .. from the last guy I’d have ever expected it to say these things. Go, Mickey.
While we would have had another attack and also with Kerry
Thanks for the ping. Fox News talked about this
Never thought I’d say/type this about M.R.
I give him props for what he said re: the matters he touches on this time.
Words so fine they blow my mind,considering the one who is saying it, source...but in this case,good going M.R.!
& Spot on commentary!bleeps & all...
Thanks again * for Your ping.
Your analysis is spot on.
(Never heard of this Rourke guy and I didn’t read the linked piece.)
Thanks for the ping. N
ever heard of this guy, but I am reading the comments, and hinkley buzzard’s comments at #5 are a perfect analysis of where we are today with BDS.
Total agreement....although I'm not sure he would have done as much damage to America as President as he has done as GW guru and author of an "Inconvienent Truth".
...only in partial sarcasm
Saddam would be sitting pretty in Baghdad too- and I think he would’ve gotten his hands on nukes.
