Bush Drive on Iraq Has Personal Overtones

The treasonous rat bastard dickweed peckerhead media assault continues.

[Indy Pendance]

Yep, I was unsure to post it, but it's out there and hopefully enough here will refute this piece of garbage.

[FairOpinion]

The Associated Press is sounding more and more like an editorial by DU, than news reports.

For shame.

[RoseofTexas]

Let's face it folks, the AP is nothing by ANTI-BUSH!!! I hate those CLYMERS!! They'll do and say anything to sink our President!! God's harsh judgement will be their reward!!

[Howlin]

Many hawks want Bush to finish the job that his father began with the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

His father FINISHED his job; Bush 41 didn't have a mandate OR a resolution to remove Saddam, regardless of how many times the liberal press insinuate he did.

[Howlin]

Bush is staking his credibility - perhaps his presidency - on success in Iraq.

It's incredible to watch a man who believes in doing the right thing, regardless of what the outcome may be.

[EvilOverlord]

Leaders who have openly supported Bush - British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, Australian Prime Minister John Howard - have found their positions increasingly at odds with public sentiment at home

Gee, and here I thought that Tony Blair's position was decreasingly at odds with the views of the British population. Didn't parliament just approve of his position by a large margin? Didn't the latest British polls show support for the war?

"This is a war that has Bush's name on it, for better or worse," said pollster Andrew Kohut of the Pew Research Center. And when the atrocities of Saddam and co. are revealed following our taking of Baghdad, etc. and the evil connections to terrorist organizations is put before the world, just try to find one of these damn anti-Bush anti-Americans to defend their damned accusations that this is personal for Bush. Damn right it's personal, when people are tortured and murdered and terrorists fed money, training and weapons by a nation like Iraq, since 9/11 it is damn sure personal.

Thank God we have a man in the White House who is man enough to take it personally and seek to defend US! The world's favorite deviant, sinkEmperor (France's favorite sleaze mongerer), didn't have enough integrity to take it personally when he declared war on terrorists in order to divert attention from his deviancy with a White House intern. Damn him and his party of bitter little nuts. When Iraq is liberated, they will be left dangling by their bitter necks, exposed for the enablers of evil that they are.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Let me understand something, this is supposed to be an "objective" article published by a "independent" news reporting organization?

Unbelievable.

I hope Mr. Murdoch buys them out.

[Mister Baredog]

Bush insists his pursuit of Saddam is not personal. But throughout much of the world, Bush is being held personally accountable for the march to war.

Gee I thought the rest of the world belonged to the UN that passed all resolutions that Iraq has defied. This is becoming more like a scene from ALICE IN WONDERLAND

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Even so, Bush has gone to great lengths to personalize and demonize his enemies, especially alleged terror mastermind Osama bin Laden, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and Saddam.

Has the world gone mad?

[auboy]

Thank you for expressing my feelings… precisely! Well said!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Not to worry.

I have taken over Bush's brain and I am doing what I've wanted to do for years.

Don't blame him.........blame me! :>)

[auboy]

I agree 100%. And I love your tag line!

[Howlin]

I stole it from Travis McGee; he's trying to find somebody on FR to make bumper stickers or posters for us using that tag!

[Howlin]

Bump.

[Howlin]

Alleged? Preposterous!

[AmericaUnited]

It pisses the left off so bad that they can't manipulate Bush with their BS stories like this one.

[American Soldier]

Two issues strike me, one which helps Bush's case and one which hurts it:

(1) Pointing out that members of his immediate family were targeted doesn't make it personal. Targeting ANY past or present Presidents or first family members (as well as any American, for that matter) is a terrorist act of war against the United States. I would feel the same (as much as I dislike them) if any of the Clintons or Carter were targeted. This is a matter of national solidarity.

(2) Kim Jong Il is directly implicated in international political assassination plots from the last 2 decades. If anything he is crazier and more evil the Saddam Hussein.

That said, Ted Kennedy's argument that we aren't paying them enough attention is complete B.S. Next the liberals will be complaining that conservatives aren't doing enough to stop Communist oppression in Vietnam.
