Bush: Measure of success, success

BushCo fails to realize that anyone with even a half a brain (not Republicans) recognizes that having 160,000 American troops in Iraq to referee a civil war IS NOT SUCCESS!...and dumping billions upon billions of US dollars on Iraq while our own economy is going down in flames IS NOT SUCCESS!

Just think, President Bush, you get to go back to your ranch in Texas, after your dismal Presidency, while the 4000+ dead in the Iraq Occupation will always be in our hearts and prayers. There you were, years ago, AWOL from the very same National Guard that is over there in Iraq doing there duty. God bless them and protect them. As for you President Bush, I am counting the days when your dismal Presidency will be at an end.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

Bin Laden played President "Success" like a fiddle. An inarticulate fool, Bush's own arrogance and incompetence (and daddy issues) were all a bunch of second-rate terrorist needed to suck us into the path of our own destruction.

Had we stayed focused on Afghanistan, bin Laden likely would not be in a position to mock us right now. We would have had the support of the international community and the lasting commitment of our own populace.

I wonder how many people, outside the Bush bubble, share the view that the Iraq fiasco was "worth it." Even if the $trillion+ war ended tomorrow, even if no more U.S. soldiers died, even if the "collateral damage" of hundreds of thousands of dead, maimed and displaced Iraqi's ceased, how was it "worth it"? That's a pretty damn high price to pay for a Shia theocracy, friendly to Iran, that cares little, if at all, for our sacrifices.

Jr. Bush thinks history will redeem him, somehow. More likely, history will mark Bush's presidency as the beginning of the decline of the American empire.

dt,

You hit the nail on the head. Now, our only hope will be a leader with the fortitude and strength of character, intelligence, and grit to want to save us from the abyss. Obama owes too many people and is too hungry for power for power's sake, McBush is angry, so I surmise, all feelings aside, since it's not a personality contest, that Hillary Clinton will be that person who will restore our nation to its pre-Bush sanity in the eyes of all Ameicans and the world.

Civil war? Are you saying you know more about Iraq than it's Prime Minister does? The Iraqi PM has said civil war was averted:

Mon Sep 10, 2007 7:08pm IST

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told lawmakers on Monday his government had stopped Iraq sliding into civil war and said violence in and around Baghdad had plunged under a U.S.-backed security crackdown.

Maliki spoke in a formal address to parliament hours before American officials were to deliver a vital progress report on Iraq that could influence future U.S. strategy.

He said security gains had been made across Iraq, but added that his forces needed more time to take over full security responsibility from U.S.-led foreign soldiers.

What credibility does this moron have anymore on Iraq? He has not been straight with the American people from day 1 of this fiasco.I don't know how he gets up in the morning and looks into the mirror. Inept or the biggest crook of all time, which is it?

Mission. Accomplished.

Bush will go down in history is the most destructive president in the US history. Bush has redefined the meaning of "moron". In fact, Bush, an installed president - not elected - will become known as "moron" like "Xerox" is known for "copy".

Bush's arrogance stinks Heaven. The moron represents what the Republicans are all about: disconnected from reality and living in a total illusion.

You can measure the success by the price of oil. After all, we were told that the war would pay for itself and that the mission was accomplished.

The emperor not only has no clothes he has no cognitive ability.

One does have to give him creidt for one thing. He has managed to run up more debt than all the other presidents combined, which is amazing consdering that includes the cost of the civil war, ww I, wwII, and the vietnam war and the great society spending of the 60's.

The legacy of the Bush presidency will be its debt which will probably be remain imortalizinng Bush in the eyes of future Americans.

Bush, the world hasn't been paying attention to what you've been saying for probably 2.5, 3 years now.

The tendency is to think that Bin Laden played Bush like a fiddle, however, the terrible truth is that Bush and Cheney knew exactly what they were doing. They were not goaded into committing any of their war crimes. All they needed and waited for was the catalyst, which they obviously knew was coming. The plan was already in place to invade Iraq, years before. It's never, ever been about "freedom", "democracy" or WMD's. It's always been about sustaining the war for as long as possible to bleed the American economy dry. Bush and Cheney are nothing more than war profiteers.

Success is defined as success! He's channeling Rummy.

I wonder how Bush ever got to be so powerful and make all those mistakes? Oh yes, he was voted in by the American people. Twice.

When you plead for change you are pinning your hopes on those same peope when they vote again. Why? Because they will suddenly act responsibily? They will suddenly think about the future? They will suddenly vote their own interests? What you are saying is that the American people are going to suddenly change by the 100's of millions overnight because that would be a terrific thing to do.

This is a dream. What are you going to do when you wake up?
