Your attacks on me are much more conducive to "troll loitering."
That's why you need to be careful.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush acknowledged on Saturday that some of his administration's decisions during the Iraq war had contributed to instability there but he still believed he was right to topple Saddam Hussein.
Insisting it was crucial to U.S. interests to get the sectarian violence in Iraq under control, Bush told CBS in an interview that the strife there was a destabilising force in the Middle East that "could lead to attacks here in America."
Pressed on whether actions by his administration had created further instability in Iraq, Bush said, "Well, no question, decisions have made things unstable."

If you come out with an uneducated attack against the president, you have to understand you will get called on it by those of us that support him. If you post like a troll, I WILL CALL YOU ONE.
And irrational to boot, but that is the mindset you are up against so you are unlikely to get anywhere in this argument.
No.
Hell no.
Not until sometimes in March of 2001. Due to the Rats trying to steal the election
That's another interesting hypothetical situation. I happen to agree with the President that Iraq is more unstable. Does that qualify as "an uneducated attack against the president" ?
I consider myself a hair trigger Freeper but Im moving kind of slow

Why should President Bush apologize for the 3000 troops that have died fighting terrorists and insurgents, while liberating the people of Iraq? Why? You said he should, so why?
Withholding sensitive intelligence from the public is called "protecting sources and methods." It made Bush's job much more difficult but that's all part of the burden of the Presidency.
It is indeed an irrational mindset.
I said Iraq is more unstable now, in agreement with the President.
The policy seems to be that everyone has a right to their own say and if given enough rope and time they will hang themselves in the court of public opinion.
It's quite frustrating to most of us observers. In the old days of the Kings the foolish naives would have just been silenced. LOL
I am calling you out what you said earlier, which caught my ire. You posted it, I am calling you on it. Why should he apologize for the troops that have died in Iraq fighting terrorists and insurgents? Why?
And we know this why again? Oh that's because he's from the 'right' party. Sorry no sale
We have not talked much about this program since the invasion, probably because all the hard evidence of lab equipment and partially enriched unranium was removed by Russia before the invasion to keep it away from Syria and Iran. Any useful equipment left behind probably went to Syria before the invasion.
Sounds like you've been reading too much of Crazy Joe over at WND as well. We're not just talking about a nuclear program (which has been discounted by more than one credible source). If you remember a rather detailed list was given of what had not been accounted for. We were shown cartoons of tractor trailer trucks and the President gave a rather long list. The first excuse was that it was in underground garages. When those weren't found, the excuse balloon of Syria was let out to see how it would fly. Again, no evidence, no sale. Even Fox dropped it after awhile because no one was buying. The latest rants from Hannity, and other party talking heads, is democracy. Why? If the 'evidence' were so damning surely it would have been kept up. The reason it wasn't because it was getting rather silly 'searching' for something that wasn't there and probably hadn't been for over a decade
Please quote verbatim what I posted, and I will answer your question.
I don't think Bush's statement about instability is a big deal. It's doesn't take a foreign policy expert to figure out that Baghdad is more violent and unstable than it was under Saddam's police state. Everybody knows that Baghdad has been made less stable overall in the short run, but we've also eliminated systematic mass murder throughout Iraq by Saddam's regime. The big issue is how stable and democratic Iraq will be in the long run, and long-term stabilization is the goal of this troop surge.
I wish President Bush would give us a clue as to what happened to the WMDs that Saddam was racing with the Iranians to get.
