Good things Bush has done

by
This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on August 20, 2003). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Daily Kos is trying to come up with three good things Bush has done, and he’s having problems. I can’t come up with three — I can, however, come up with one. Here’s the text of comment I left over at the Go Fish:

Believe it or not, I do have one thing that I can completely seriously thank Bush and his administration for.

Thanks to his blundering incompetence, many people (myself included) are paying far more attention to politics than we used to. Bush’s otherwise disastrous presidency just may be the single strongest argument for people to actually wake up and pay attention to what’s going on in the world around them and to try to do something about it by getting involved than any ad campaign, voter registration drive, or anything else in years. More and more people want Bush out of the White House, and are realizing that for that to happen, they actually have to participate in this democracy of ours.

And for that, from the bottom of my heart, I thank President Bush.

But that’s all I can come up with.

  1. OK, I’ll buy that. Except I’m still worried about the people who are unconcerned. I want to be proven wrong in a massive way in the next election.

  2. I liked the comment one Kos reader left about one good thing Bush has done:

    choked on a pretzel

    I still think he failed at the task – perhaps he should try again, this time with some real feeling. This is one area I’d like to see the whole administration work on together – I’m sure they would get some excellent results.

  4. Yes, your are right it’s not good to liberate a country, to stop massive killings
    from a leader.

    It is not right to protect our country.

    …..Your blind.

  5. I think Bush has made many mistakes, like a lot of presidents, and at least he is trying to do what he thinks is right. Its not like his whole idea is to kill the whole world (and act like Hitler like many ignorant people have been saying), he is just doing what he thinks is right. And seriously, I think that he is starting to straighten up his stuff, like with the medicine for senior citizens. He is trying to get a bill through Congress that allows loswer priced medicines to compete against Medicade. A lot of people want him out of the White House, but really what has he done? Yes, he got us in a war too quickly (where war would have been the last option), but the whole reason why we even went into Iraq, a lot of people don’t know this, is because we gave Iraq so many months to let us come in and check everything out (we are like the World Police) and they wouldn’t let us in. We gave them months to let us in and they just wouldn’t. And people are saying that we haven’t found any chemical weapons or whatever, and its not because they might not have had them (I’m not saying that they absolutely have them) but they could have smuggled them out of the country by then. I don’t agree with everything Bush does, but I understand why we went into Iraq.

  6. $87 Billion for blowing up a third world country.. thats really saving them from mass killings?… whos blind here? And who stoped America when we were raping, and killing THOUSANDS!!! of blacks, and how about when America came and slaughtered MILLIONS!!! of peacefull Indians? Nowbody saved them. now im not saying that the people of Iraq should suffer, but how about $87 billion for education in Iraq? Let them learn for themselves that they are oppressed. And im sorry any president GOP DEM IND WHATEVER!!! who has the GAULL!!! to push any peice of legislation that gives the government the power to take away US citizenship is completely unamerican, and unjust, and just to make sure it has a cherry on top its called the PATRIOTISM ACT!!!

  7. Omg STFU ADAM. Go live in some other Country if this one is so bad. Ass wipes like you make me want to get sick. This is the best country in the world to live….Just look at all that we have. Sure we are not perfect, but we are the strongest country in the world and we have to act accordingly. As for your dumb ass black comments,…GET AN EDUCATION. They came to us selling their own people. So I don’t want to hear all this crap…this is the best country in the world and we should all just be happy to be here

  8. Well… I believe people need to stop living in the past and wake up to the future
    . For our President to care enough for the Iraqy people is amazing. The 87 billion will get paid back to us. They needed help and we came to there rescure. How would those people know what is best for them if all they have ever known is hate and dirty leadership! I feel that Bush is a gr8 president and people need to stand behind him and thank him for doing such an honerible deed! The people of Iraq had no future, and Bush is re shaping a lost country. I feel we need to stop bitching and start thinking of ways we could help those in need!!!

  9. Well, look, everything that Bush has done so far has worked. I admit I don’t care for him that much, but he is doing a pretty good job. The Iraq invasion did eventually lead to the capture of Saddam, and his economic policies, such as tax cuts are now leading to growth. There is no real reason to get rid of him at this point. Just stay the course with Bush, and then bring someone new in in 2008.

  10. Oh mi gosh, I never realized this before! Without his increasingly obvious stupidity to the public, I don’t think politics would have been so attention-grabbing for me! :lol: That’s so funny!

  11. Why Iraq? Why not any of the other half dozen countries that suffer under a tyrannical leader? It couldn’t be because the Bush Administration has vested interests in Iraq, could it? OUR noble, brave, heroic president leading thousands of American troops to death for his own profits? Noooooo. And remind me again how we moved from Al Qaeda to Irag in the first place. Wake up people. I don’t think any one of you can give coherent reasons for why we chose to “liberate” Iraq over North Korea, who pose a bigger threat, or Libya, whose people live in much more dire circumstances. Bush himself hasn’t been able to and so faces international ridicule. So good luck trying to come up with reasons yourself.
    And are you even aware of the environmetal atrocities he’s been doing on the side? He’s opened up more of the national forest to logging and development than any other president, He’s reduced factory emissions monitoring after promising to increase it, and he’s currently proposing legislation that will move the expenses of cleaning up factory and chemical spills from the companies who cause them to the taxpayers who suffer because of them. Yes, we do live in the best country in the world and so we should have some fucking say in what happens to it.

  12. A few important things to remember:
    1. The iraqi’s are glad we took out Saddam, but majority of the country wants a
    theocracy, certainly not a westernized democracy.
    2. Any way you look at it, Saddam was a psycho, and in my opinion, just as bad as
    Hitler. Someone had to take him out lest he kill off his own people and then go
    for someone elses.
    3. Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are not in league together, nor do they even agree
    on anything. BL= Islamic Fanatic SH=Secular Dictator
    4. 28000 Iraquis have lost jobs since saddams fall, and another 5000 at least have
    lost their lives. Our cluster missiles suck and are extremely inacurate.
    5. Bush is a loser and a born again christian.. but not a nazi. STFU with that crap.

  14. Revolution Vol. 2

    1) They bombed innocent people, tryin’ to murder Saddam
    When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
    This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
    Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
    I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish

    2)Conservative political right wing, ideology
    Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
    Got my back to the wall, cause I’m facin’ assassination
    Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
    How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
    Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
    Corporate America, dancin’ offbeat to the rhythm
    You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
    Human rights violations, we continue the saga
    El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
    And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
    Just cause I won’t trade humanity for patriotism

    3)Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what’s reality?
    Read about the history of the place that we live in
    And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

    4)And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
    Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
    U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16’s
    Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
    Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
    A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
    Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin’
    The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
    A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin’
    And the world doesn’t believe that you fightin’ for freedom
    Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon

    5)The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
    Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
    As if their opinion was at all unbiased
    A machine shouldn’t speak for men
    So shut the fuck up you mindless drone!
    And you know it’s serious
    When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
    To try to convince you they’re fair and balanced
    When they’re some of the most ignorant, and racist people
    Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
    We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do
    We die in wars, we don’t get the contracts to make money off ’em afterwards!
    We don’t get weapons contracts, nigga!
    We don’t get cheap labor for our companies, nigga!
    We are cheap labor, nigga!
    Turn off the news and read, nigga!
    Read… read… read…

  15. First of all, is it so much to ask for you people to use coherent sentences? I can’t understand half the bullshit you Bush-haters pulling out of your asses. Secondly, the fact that Bush has the balls to go into Iraq in order to save millions of lives by taking out one of the most vile dictators in history is pretty commendable. Yes, there were innocent lives ended, but George Bush is not the monster that too many people are making him out to be. He is a human being just like you and me. He has the same emotions that we have. And don’t even think about telling me that he isn’t. If that’s what you really think then you have some serious issues.

    As for the weapons. These are the facts:
    1) George H. W. Bush Sr. went into Iraq based on intelligence that it was developing Chemical and Biological weapons.
    2) Bill Clinton BOMBED Iraq based on intelligence that they had already obtained Chemical and Biological weapons and were in the process of developing Nuclear weapons.
    3) The same intelligence that was used for the past 10 years was used this past spring in order to stop Saddam from becoming one of the most serious threats to the world since Adolf Hitler.

    The weapons were there. They have been there for a decade. Why they aren’t there right now is another question. Here are the possibilities.
    1) They were destroyed to prevent a U.N. act against them (not likely considering who Saddam is)
    2) They are still in Iraq and we just haven’t found them yet (possible but not plausible)
    3) They were sold to the highest bidder (also possible)

    No one has ever doubted the fact that the weapons were there until Bush Jr. went into Iraq. Why did they choose to start now? Because they don’t like Bush. No other reason than that.

  17. First of all, everyone needs to stop getting so angry when discussing this topic. I really don’t know why politics get people so enraged. If someone has another opinion, read what they have to say and see if there is any truth or fact to the statements. If there is, then you learned something, if not, it is not necessary to blast them with “I told you so” statements. Instead, re-educate them on their innacuracies by educating them on the truth.

    On Bush:

    The fact is, people are basing the opinions on Bush from the information that is learned from one source. “MEDIA”
    If one really digs into the things Bush has done, a person would see some good and some bad things that he has done. If a person looks into the history of any President that we have had in the last 20 years, they will find the same thing. Many things that were good, and many things that were not so good. This is because Bush is Human my friends. Being the President of the United States of America would be no easy task. Many educated people are bringing issues and intelligencec to the Presidents desk every day. The President doesn’t tackle the entire U.S. problems on his own. He has people bringing him stacks of paperwork to his desk containing issues and choices to make. The President has to sort out the best he can and make the best judgment he can on many issues and some wind up doing good, and some wind up causing some grief. However, He is helping keep us safe. I was happy to receive the extra 500.00 tax credit per child thanks to Bush. I spend a lot of money keeping my daughter healthy, happy, well fed and educated. It was nice to see Bush understood our hardships and gave us some reward for that effort. There was many tax benefits for 2003 tax filers thanks to Bush. Senior Citizens who no longer have the larger checks they received when they were working can now benefit by having cheaper medicine thanks to Bush. Bush knows the Children are the future. The “No child left behind” should never be condemned. The U.S. can’t afford it, that is correct, but we also can’t afford not to. We cannot throw our children to the curb beecause we are indebted. They are one of our top priorities. There are many other things, but too many to list without boring everyone. Just do this everyone, check out the facts! Yes some of the things you will find aren’t going to shine like a chrome bumper on a 1955 chevrolet, but again.. Bush is doing the best as “Humanly” possible with the information he is given day to day.

  18. Thank you Mark. I do apologize for the harsh words, and you’re right: there’s really no reason to get upset about this topic. Unfortunately, there are two things in today’s society that ignite the most serious conflicts: religion and politics. Personally, I sometimes find my personal beliefs threatened when someone makes a crack at my religion. I suppose the same can go for politics. After all, your political views are nothing short of your own personal values manifest in a social institution.

    And as for your political remarks, I think they are the most honest and accurate views of any president to date. Well said.

  19. How can you possibly think that No Child Left Behind is good for this country? I myself am just a student so i do not follow politics nearly as much as everyone here. My opinion about politics isn’t much either, but this No Child Left Behind is just crazy. It is making teachers only teach the tests. My mom is a kindergarten teacher, they have to have 50 sight words memorized by the end of kindergarten. She has recently decided to go back for her masters, and is with teachers that have been told by the principle that they have to teach JUST the test to the students or the school will be closed because it is not to the standards. I have talked to many teachers about this and none of them think it is more helpful then hurtful to the studends. But remember, I am still a student and haven’t read deep into this, this is just what I have seen in school. I would please like to hear about how you feel about this idea.

  22. Mom and I were talking about the NCLB issues over this past weekend, and she pointed out something that I hadn’t stopped to think about before. Mom and Dad still live in Alaska, and through the church and friends are in contact with a lot of Alaska Natives who live out in “the bush,” the outlying communities and towns in Alaska. Native culture is very strong outside of the few large(ish) cities in Alaska, and the NCLB act just plain doesn’t work in such an environment.

    Firstly, in many of these communities, children are brought up speaking their native tongue, which is generally any one of a number of Alaska Native languages, and often don’t start learning English at all until they start school. Yet, by the standards of NCLB, they are required to take the same tests and are expected to get the same results as children across America who have grown up speaking English as their primary language.

    Secondly (and in some ways more interestingly to me), the standardized tests required by NCLB are so standardized that they incorporate many built-in assumptions about the communities and lifestyles of the students taking the tests. This is causing a problem for many of the native communities in Alaska, when rather than growing up in city suburbs, shopping in malls, riding in buses and cars and so on, many Alaskan children grow up in towns with populations that number in the tens, are more familiar with going whaling and hunting for their food and clothing than shopping at grocery stores or malls, receive their mail weekly or monthly when the mail plane stops by their community, and so on.

    In short, the cultural divides between the “middle America” that the NCLB standardized tests are written for and the isolated, rural towns and lifestyles of many (if not most) Alaska Natives are so great that there is essentially no way for the NCLB act to do any good at all, and it is more likely to do great harm if a disparity in scores results in penalties and withdrawal of funds for the schools in the bush.

  23. My mom also pointed out that each state chooses the literary level. Like where I live, in Iowa, it is at 80. In Alabama it is 20. How is ths going to be able to help minimize the “gap” between students from all of over the United states? This act is suposed to have students be smarter when they go to college. So by having the state choose the literary level it makes a bigger gap for each state. So when these students are starting to go to college there will be a big difference in their grades. When they take entrance exams, the schools will probably be able to tell what state they are from.
    Then there is the assessments, these are posted publically and are also viewed by race, gender, and socio-econmics (how much money the family has). Thanks for the post about Alaska. Mind if I get permission to use that in my report?

  24. Is it really so hard to understand? You can’t possibly expect any policy or act in the government to be perfect for every single American. Maybe you should look at the bright side of things instead of constantly degrading every idea. Peter, maybe NCLB isn’t what’s wrong with your mom’s school. I think it’s the school’s problem when they decide that they will only teach to the tests. I came from a very fortunate community. Of course we had standardized tests. Everyone had standerdized tests. If your school is below the appropriate level for the tests, then you SHOULD teach to the tests because that’s really the only way to pick up the school and move it forward. If you’re above the level of the tests, then you don’t really have to worry about them and you can just go on teaching with the safety of knowing that by teaching advanced material, the basics are reenforced. If your mom’s school is told to “teach to the tests” then either they haven’t met the required standards or they have a very inefficient system of teaching.

    As for Alaska, my opinion is that if you want to be an active member of America and the government, you better know english. That’s not to say that they shouldn’t also learn their native language, but to deny them the language that they need to know in order to function the easiest in continental U.S. society is foolish.

    If your school isn’t up to standards with the tests, then maybe you SHOULD teach to the tests. If your school is above the standards, then you really don’t need to worry about the tests, and if you’re still being told to teach to them, then you need more intelligent advisors. If you live in America, you should speak english. NCLB just makes sure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to what children NEED to know.

  25. that’s weird….I don’t remember clicking twice….

    but while I’m at it….Peter….next time you want to comment on an issue, read up on it FIRST and then make your own decisions. Think for yourself next time.

  26. Crazy Liberal Idea #1 – Bush-is-a-moron.

    Crazy Liberal idea #2 – Bush is a puppet

    Crazy Liberal idea #3 – Bush is a fanatic.

    Crazy Liberal idea #4 – Bush is another Hitler, but not as talented.

    Crazy Liberal idea #5 – Bush isn’t protecting the American people.

    Crazy Liberal idea #6 – Bush wants to bankrupt the government.

    Crazy Liberal idea #7 – Bush is a cowboy.

    Crazy Liberal idea #8 – Bush is a liar.

  28. In just three years, Bush has led the U.S. MILITARY into two wars, ousted two of the world’s most barbaric regimes, redirected U.S. foreign policy to confront the threat of rogue states possessing weapons of mass destruction, daringly embarked on a campaign to introduce democracy into the Middle East, and reconstructed both the military and the executive branch of government.

    He shoved two huge tax cuts down the throats of a Congress that traditionally has preferred to spend the people’s money rather than permit then to spend it themselves, and in the process revived an economy that began to slump at the end of the Clinton administration.

    The List Goes On.

    W.2004

  29. this sucks bush should be throwen in jail. who does he think he is making all of these cuts when he is on his ass doing nothing! My point is bush sucks!!!!!

  30. I think we should all just get a long in this world fighting world of ours. Think of what happend in WW1 and WW2 that is nothing compared to whats happening in Iraq. Let alone the holocaust. Even though Bush is not a good president hes doing the best he can, how would u feel if u were the president of the United States. Think of all the pressure that is on ur shoulders. I think some 1 else should be president since bush sucks.

  31. To the peoplewho think Bush nothing;
    He help liberate a country that had known nothing but hate fear and pain for 30 years He Made it known we don’t tolerate terrorism unlike the spinless presidents who came before him he were all talk. he may have done some things wrong but he tried. All those critisizing, you think you can do better? You don’t want to know what this man has to deal with. He has a hard time sleeping without worring about the cristsism of people who have no idea what he encounters, you couldn’t stomach it.

  32. So you are saying that Bush Senior was spineless? Or George Washington? Abraham Lincoln? Bush even said that there were no proof of ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda. So everything Bush told us before the war was a lie and that alone should get him impeached. It is a good thing that Iraq has been liberated but that was not why we went to war was it? We went to get terrorists and we devastated a nation on a lie.

  33. Here is something I found from the “Weekly Standard.” Dated November 24th 2003.
    An article titled “Case Closed” by Stephen Hayes.
    From this article we know (that means it’s an indisputable fact) that Saddam’s lieutenants held regular meetings with bin Laden and his emissaries from 1990 all the way through the period immediately before the American invasion in 2003. CIA reports from 1993 reveal that “bin Laden wanted to expand his organization’s capabilities through ties with Iraq” and that Saddam’s vice president and other intelligence officials met with Al Qaeda leaders in Baghdad, Sudan, and Afghanistan in 1998 and 1999.

    Is that not enough evidence to support the use of preemptive force against an evil tyrant who funded terrorism?

    And if that’s not enough, here’s an excerpt from Sean Hannity’s book “Deliver us from evil.” His sources are two articles. One from the Chicago Tribune on July 27, 2003 titled “Iraq’s future lies in secrets of its skeletons.” and an article from the Wichita Eagle on May 15th, 2003 titled “Mass Graves in Iraq unearth anguish.”

    “The Iraqi regime was unimaginably evil. We know that he ordered the mass extermination of Shi’ite Muslims, Kurds, and other political enemies. We have found botulinum toxins, mobile weapons labs, and over 100 general munitions storage facilities in Iraq. We know that Saddam supported terrorism against Israel, among other nations, that he was capable of using Weapons of Mass Destruction against the U.S. and that he DID use them against Iranians and Kurds. We have also seen tapes of medieval torture chambers where unkown hundreds of citizens were raped.”

    Is that not enough evidence to support the removal of Saddam from power? It’s obvious that the U.N. just wanted to sit back and let the resolutions run their course (which they have been doing for a decade with no positive result). Other nations had financial investments in Iraq (Russia, France, and Germany). So if no one else was going to help us take out this evil tyrant, were we just going to sit back and hope for the best? NO! We were going to go in there and do it ourselves! We are responsible for our own security! We don’t need to beg other nations to help us, we can do it ourselves! And if no one else is going to help, then that’s exactly what we should do.

  34. I was just wondering if anyone against Bush had stopped to consider the fact that maybe Bush had other motives for going into Iraq, other then finding weapons of mass destruction. people don’t understand that when someone like Saddam is in power and he is killing his own people, he won’t just stop there and other countries can’t sit back and watch it happen. We tried it in WW2 with Hitler and that didn’t work out to well did it? Now that we have Saddam, we can’t just leave, we have to finish what we started. And another thing, the people out there who think 9/11 is all Bush’s fault and are whining about how he didn’t do anything about it although there was really nothing he could do since our military and defense were extremely weakened from our previous president, he is fighting terrorism now and you are still whining. I find that kind of odd.

  35. Hi it’s me again.

    I almost forgot something.

    If you don’t like Bush, that’s fine. I can accept that. But what I refuse to accept is voting for someone like Kerry or Nader only because you don’t like Bush. That kind of sentiment is dangerous and closed-minded.

    If you don’t vote for Bush, that’s fine. But at least have a good reason for voting for the other guy.

    My beef with Kerry is that he’s a waffling pig-headed jerk who couldn’t lead a starving wolf to a flock of sheep. I do have facts to support that opinion, but I won’t post them unless someone asks (otherwise I’d be getting even FURTHER off the topic of this chain).

    All I ask is that you vote for the BETTER man. Don’t just vote for the “other guy.” So do some real research on the two candidates and see which guy’s plan you think would work better. I did that for Kerry, and I got an informed opinion out of it. You may find that Kerry is better (to which I say “good for you; go ahead and vote for the guy”). But if you’re just going to vote for someone because they aren’t Bush, you are making out of our electoral system and you are desecrating the democracy that we are trying so hard to protect.

    That is all.

  36. Bush is doing the right thing by trying to contain the threat of terrorism in the middle east. Starting with Iraq, we are trying to eliminate tyranny’s and weapons. All those people out there say “there are no weapons” don’t you think they could smuggle them easily to Libya, or Sirya? It could be done so easily….use your head, think with your brain not with your “anti-war bullshit” support bush in 2004

  42. was there much of a choice for us to enter this war? you want more americans to die like in the trade center.NO.But then you say “anti-war” blah blah blah, but then it happens again, and you bitch about how we did nothing don’t contradict yourself you fucking morons…

  46. Name one United States President that was perfect and that nobody could complain about. And while your thinking about that, you might be thankful that you have the right to complain about your leadership and not have to look over your shoulder at night worrying about someone taking retribution to you comments.

  47. I think that Bush and his cronies should have their citizenship taken away from
    them for acts terrorism against the Iraqi people for oil profits. They should also be put in jail for lieing to us. I knew they were lieing anyways. Because I knew they were going to Iraq for the oil.
    The media has successfully brainwashed the American people into thinking that
    Iraq was a terrorist state. The simple minded are easy to fool.
    Americans are viewed as stupid by the rest of the planet and the media knows how
    easy it is to trick us.
    If you support Bush then you should move to another country.
    This country is for democracy loving Americans only.
    Educate yourself and wake up……

  48. Tommy, I’m sorry you feel the way you do.

    There is no conspiracy behind the media. If anything, they would be dying to get their hands on information about secret oil profits from the war. Reporters and news companies are always looking for controversy. Just look at how focused they were on the whole Monica fiasco when Clinton was in office. There is no nation-wide cover-up. I cannot see how anyone in their right mind can make such a claim. How can you have such a hatred for Bush that you cannot even use your common sense. That kind of hatred is dangerous. You would rather make a claim with absolutely no reasonable basis than give the President of the United States one shred of confidence. I don’t like asking this question, but I can’t help myself right now: What the hell is wrong with you?

    Second, do you really think that this war was over oil? I find that hard to believe when OPEC is now RAISING fuel prices. If this war were really over oil, wouldn’t it make sense that our fuel prices would be going DOWN?

    But no. You’re just an overly paranoid twit who can’t accept the fact that a man that you absolutely HATE has actually done something worthwhile.

    And I do see an paradox in your last little burst of vehement ignorance. “Educate yourself and wake up…”

    If you relly think the media is one big lie, how can you educate yourself? If any research at all is nothing more than the world’s largest cover-up, how would you know what is true? You seem to know the answer, and I’d love to know your little secret. Since we all have it so wrong, and you seem to think you have it all in perspective, what are we missing?

    I’d love to go on, but I don’t want to bring you to tears. So I just have a few questions for you:
    1) Do you hate George Bush?
    2) Do you hate Saddam Hussein?
    3) Do you hate Saddam more than you hate Bush?
    4a) If yes, why are you so upset that the man you hate more is no longer torturing innocent people? Shouldn’t you be more upset that over 250 mass graves have been found in Iraq?
    4b) If no, would you rather have Saddam Hussein as our President than George Bush?

    Think about it. And feel free to post again in response; I’d love to know how you feel about this.

  49. Come on!

    I agree with you Aaron I’d rather have bush as president…

    About the weapons of mass destruction. If saddam didn’t have them, he could have got them. Imaging just one icbm (Intercontinental Balistic Missle) A few Nuclear Reactor rods and nuclear radioactive waste. Then if he launched it over here we could have millions dead on this side!
