The Iraqi president looks like he could lose about 75 lbs.

“Against ALL odds this president did the right thing!
He led the front on the War against Islamofascism and terrorism. He kept us safe for 8 years.
God bless George Bush. a man of courage and character”

You know I’m beginning to think that was a fluke and the hand of God guided that. However I will never forgive that man for all of the needless deaths of American soldiers that occurred because he wanted to fight a “nice” war.

You know derangement works both ways. I think completely opposite. I see people who cannot bring themselves to see the man for what he really is no matter what he does. He is very much to blame for the state this country is in now and the reason I am no longer a Republican.

No matter what atrocities this man commits to the American taxpayer.....oh why waste my time. It’s like beating one’s head against a wall. I don’t think I’M the one with the problem. I think it’s the other way around. Liberal do that type of thing. Keep their heads so far up their behinds they can’t see daylight.

Unfortunately the smiley happy people can’t fix this for you. It will take more than one angry person to get the job done. At least we know there will be some people praying for them.

I suspect that it took more than a little anger to get the job done that was performed by our founding fathers too. It may take some more of those distasteful angry people to get our country back.

What “nice ‘ war? With your logic, we should just have nuked Iraq. Wow, that’s a plan. We fight the war the best we can. And people do die and it is very easy—AFTER THE FACT—to moan about how the war wasn’t fought right.

Bush gets no credit for what he does right, and if he can’t be a dictaor and run OVER a congress including RINOs then its “ALL BUSH’ S FAULT! “

I can hear the conservative whinos now, “ BUSH LIED! MY IRA DIED!!”

The president has very very limited powers. He is not our “daddy”...save your ire for the Congress. and if you want to just Bash Bush, go to the Dummie sites.
Other wise come up with a plan of action for NOW.

You should be sooooo thrilled along with the dems..Bush will be gone.

Hi Granny,

I thought like you for a long time about the nice war; however, I think our CiC has been proven correct. He knew we could not go in blowing everything up and win the people over. It had to be done with finesse at times.

While I still wish we had been more "aggressive", in hindsight, Bush made the correct choice.

just 37 days before he hands the war off to a successor who has pledged to end it
...and then decided that it is ending due to success, and intends to use the same approach to lead to victory in Afghanistan.

The fact this guy now has the balls to do this speaks volumes. Imagine him trying that 7 or 8 years ago I bet he and anyone that knew him would end up in a mass grave in the desert. Freedom sucks don't it LOL

Thank you President Bush. I so agree with you. He is a good man who has been a good president.

Unfortunately he is not Christ. Of course on this site anymore even Christ couldn’t make it through without vitriol and disdain being thrown at Him. He probably wouldn’t be conservative enough.

It is so hard to come here anymore. So I hardly ever do. Even this thread about Bush in Iraq can’t be read.

The nastiness is unbelievable. Name calling, disrespect. Opinions discounted without reason. It sounds like DU.

EXACTLY.... look how many Iraqis pounded their shoes on pictures of Sadaam -— AFTER he was in U.S. Custody !! — How many of these folks who have even thought about to it to him in person.. in fact if they had even thought about doing it.. they would probably be dead.. let alone actually do it live in front of TV Cameras...

God Bless America !! — I think Iraq is starting to “get it” and that is great !
