Bush Denies He’s On Vacation
Bush Denies He’s On Vacation
President Bush has faced intense criticism for his insensitivity in taking a leisurely, 5-week vacation while the country is locked in an increasingly violent war in Iraq. His initial response was to defensively defend his right to relax, stating indignantly, “I’ve got a life to live.”
That didn’t go over so well with the American public, so the White House spin machine game up with a new line: Despite what it looks like, President Bush isn’t actually on vacation.
According to the San Bernardino Sun, White House spokesperson David Almacy “said the reason that Bush is in Crawford, Texas, is due to the renovation of the West Wing of the White House.” Almacy stated:
He’s operating on a full schedule; he’s just doing it from the ranch instead of from the White House. The only week he had officially off was this last week.
Keep in mind, President Bush has spent the entire month of August at his ranch every year of his presidency. It’s time this White House stopped renovating the truth.

"I've got a life to live" - lucky bastard.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:56 amIts a very European thing to take the month of August off on holiday. But somehow I think King George is just not a free thinking power to the laborers kind of European.
It must be nice being an elitist aristocratic 'murikan SOB. Though few Bush desciples will ever notice that his brain has been on vacation for years.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:57 amTHERE IS NO SPOON!
August 24th, 2005 at 10:58 amTee Hee. This is just funny.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:59 amReal leader, this guy.
It would appear that he really and
truely doesn't not give a #!&% about
anyone but himself.
This seems to be consistent with the
rest of his life - so there ya go.
Oh my God, did they just say that he is not on vacation? You have got to be kidding me. I can't wait to see how the NeoCon posters spin this one.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:05 amToo bad the 1,871 Americans dead in Iraq don't have their lives to live any more...
August 24th, 2005 at 11:05 amTheresa
Vacations are Hard Work.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:11 amOff Subject Yet Pertinent Side Note: Give this story a whirl.
No Pain Up To 29 Weeks
August 24th, 2005 at 11:24 amhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4180592.stm
It took BushCo's PR people THIS LONG to come up with THAT excuse? Wow. Did they not tell us about White House renovations because of the security threats such as cheap labor illegal immigrants doing the grunt work on the renovation? An excuse like that this late in the game is insulting.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:31 amWoo-hoo!! We're getting part of our house renovated next month, so I guess I can tell my boss I deserve to take a month off as well? I mean come on, it's not like I'm more important than the president...
*Slaps face*
Dream on, buddy.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:36 amHe's not on vacation.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:36 amHell, he's not the president either.
So they can't take the heat of public opinion. The lying bastards - "renovating the WEst Wing" - must have been a last night's midnight call to a decorator. The spinner have been trying to cast this 5-week vcation as a "working" vacation, but John Q. Public saw right through the sham, so now Bush is working at full tilt (?) having taken only last week off? Gimme a break. There just won't be any more cameras snapping him on his bike, or clearing brush, or otherwise playing a "windshield cowboy." Only fund-raising appearances to friendly, pre-screened audiences.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:38 amIt's hard work hiding when you're on vacation in Texas.
Better he should leave the country - maybe Venezuela.
A whole month of vacation? Sounds like France...
August 24th, 2005 at 11:39 amFor his grade school essay on What I Did Last Summer, maybe Bushy should write one on how he turned a middle eastern secular state into an Islamic Theocracy?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050824/wl_nm/iraq_secularists_dc_1;_ylt=AsV2KUh8m96NAadizSjwEH1X6GMA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl
August 24th, 2005 at 11:43 amYeah, I can't come in to work this month because my office is being rennovated.
I'm putting "nap" and "fishing" on my work schedule immediately.
And taking off "Meet with the boss who is unhappy with my work."
August 24th, 2005 at 11:45 amThere is no problem here with the statement that Bush is "operating on a full schedule" as usual. He hasn't done anything constructive since he has been there so why should we expect it of him now? An aside, the four year timetable for removing our troops from Iraq really makes sense. It will take Hilary about 6 to 8 months to get them home. Unless DUHbya is impeached Daddy can be stealing oil for the remaining three years of DUHbya's vacation.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:46 amThe President is NOT on vacation. He is just practicing for his early retirement next year.
I hope.
Z.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:47 amWow, what an excuse. So, all of the sudden they decide to "rennovate" the West Wing? What, the president couldn't find some other place to "work" in Washington, D.C. that he had to go all the way to Texas? That must be some rennovation.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:51 amI would not begrudge the president – any president – some down time, but in view of the war in Iraq, it would seem that this president could “sacrifice†something he views as important out of respect for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as for those whose lives are still on the line.
It’s no wonder support for the war is declining. Leaders are supposed to set an example, by actions as well as words; does the president think it is only his words that matter? He says the war is so important and the sacrifices are huge, but how does that reconcile with him vacationing for weeks at a time? It doesn’t.
I believe he truly doesn’t understand why people are so put off by all of the vacation time. The rest of us are sweating gas prices, and cutting back on things and Bush is having the time of his life. Jetting here to raise money, jetting there to preach to the choir, boating and biking and fishing and napping. It’s insulting.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:53 amGeez, cut the guy some slack. He said he thinks about the War in Iraq every day, every single day. It’s much easier to do under the clear beige sky of Texas.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:58 amHe's so busy he had to take "Thinking about bin laden" off his schedule.
August 24th, 2005 at 12:00 pmAnne,
Especially when all that jetting, as well as his salary, is being paid for by you and I.
August 24th, 2005 at 12:01 pmI guess when you're running from Cindy Sheehan, unleashing your attack dogs, and telling your minions what to think and say, manipulating the press...
YOU'RE NOT ON VACATION.
"LET THEM EAT CAKE"
August 24th, 2005 at 12:08 pmBush taking all of this time off an flaunting it is mcuh the same as the photo-op picture of Kerry wind surfing just before the election.
"Hey look at me, I'm rich and can afford to do things the average American cannot."
August 24th, 2005 at 12:10 pm#20, I think about the war all day seven days a week too. I think about the LIES that brought us there, I worry when I see the economy falling and gas prices going up daily. Unfortunately, I don't have people to do my fighting, and I feel
compelled to tell the truth and further I don't see my family fortune swelling daily at because of the ill advised ILLEGAL war.
See I work and think at LEAST AS MUCH, AND I KNOW I READ MORE than dumbya, but my salary is a little less than his, and I PAY FOR MY OWN INSURANCE!
August 24th, 2005 at 12:12 pmIt's Hard Work to be gwbush .Its hard work to mt bike and think at the same time,its hard work to rob Americans of their pay,their homes,their Lives,its hard work isn't it Mr pres.
Its time the Media stop being a Joke and really reported on this man nad those who surround for the sake of our Country.
August 24th, 2005 at 12:12 pmI'd be wary of any announcement of renovation. The last time Bush took the month of August off, the Pentagon and WTC were renovated.
August 24th, 2005 at 12:15 pmI saw an article Tuesday that said the media was held at bay because of this administration's untarnished reputation of retrobution to anyone that oppsed them.
The article gave examples of Dumbya one and two doing this to save their azzes. They say that is one of Rove's key duties.
August 24th, 2005 at 12:16 pmI have learned never to expect the truth in Bizarro World. Does anybody really believe that when Georgie is in the White House he does anything more than he's doing now? This frat boy is ALWAYS on vacation. He's just so friggin' happy he got four more years than his daddy.
August 24th, 2005 at 12:53 pm#15 - I got a better plan...
Just go on vacation. Go AWOL from work. When your boss dials in to find out where you are, read from the Dubya script and DENY you are on vacation. You're operating on a full schedule; you're just doing it from the ranch/beach house/golf course.
You gotta make sure you run up all expenses on your corporate Amex. And then when you're boss goes really mental at you for being AWOL for 3 weeks, tell him you got go on vacation from vacation.
And remind him you have a mandate to do all this.
August 24th, 2005 at 1:11 pmHe's up here in Idaho riding his back around Tamarack Resort and spreading his BS all over the hills. That's hard work, I guess. Being a wartime president. Cutting brush on the ranch. Bike riding with Lance Armstrong. Making speaches adn appearances for Utah and Idaho politicos in the two of the most Republican states in the union.
What an ass.
August 24th, 2005 at 1:24 pmThat's it!
This President is AWOL from gonverning his country!!!
He had pleny to practice, I hear. So he's got just this one thing right. Wow. He's on a roll.
August 24th, 2005 at 1:25 pmThis President is AWOL from governing his country!!!
August 24th, 2005 at 1:26 pm#31,
So now TWO of Bush's buddies have tested positive for performance-enhancing substances (Palmero, Armstrong), which leads me to two questions; What will Bush say about Armstrong and why don't they share with him to enhance HIS performance?
August 24th, 2005 at 1:30 pmHmmm... Bush hangs out with buddies who use steroids. He's the most physically fit president ever. He's agressive with the military and political opponents. He refuses to discuss his drug use.
August 24th, 2005 at 1:39 pmMore "Scrappleface" musings on President's vacation activities:
"An internal White House memo, leaked today, indicates how President George Bush initially planned to address Cindy Sheehan's question: What 'noble cause' did my son die for?
"The draft memo includes suggestions from White House communications staff, followed by several paragraphs apparently handwritten by the president.
"While handwriting experts from CBS News continue to pore over the document to verify its authenticity, here is the text of the president's alleged response to the grieving Mom whose protest has captured the hearts of America's journalists.
'Dear Mrs. Sheehan,
You have asked me to identify the noble cause for which your son died. I have not answered you personally out of respect for the nobility of your son's sacrifice.
'Being president forces me into the spotlight, but I would rather stand in the shadows of men like Casey Sheehan.
'Directing national attention on my response to your protest creates a distraction from what matters. The focus of our attention, and our admiration, should rest on people like Casey Sheehan, who stand in the breach when evil threatens to break out and consume a helpless people.
'The running story on the news networks should be the valiant efforts of our troops -- the merchants of mercy who export freedom and import honor. They trade their own lives for the sake of others.
'As a result, we live in a nation where a woman can camp outside of the president's house and verbally attack the president for weeks on end without fear of prison, torture or death. And the number of nations where such protest is possible has multiplied thanks to the work of our military.
'You ask for what noble cause your son died?
'In a sense he died so that people like you, who passionately oppose government policies, can freely express that opposition. As you camp in Crawford, you should take off your shoes, for you stand on holy ground. This land was bought with the blood of men like your son.
'Now, 25 million Iraqis cry out to enjoy the life you take for granted. Most of them will never use their freedom to denigrate the sacrifice of those who paid for it. But once liberty is enshrined in law, they will be free to do so. And when the Iraqis finally escape their incarceration, hope will spread throughout that enslaved region of the world, eventually making us all safer and more free.
'The key is in the lock of the prison door. Bold men risk everything to turn it.
'Mrs. Sheehan, everyone dies. But few experience the bittersweet glory of death with a purpose -- death that sets people free and produces ripples of liberty hundreds of years into the future.
'Casey Sheehan died that freedom might triumph over bondage, hope over despair, prosperity over misery. He died restoring justice and mercy. He lived and died to help to destroy the last stubborn vestiges of the Dark Ages.
'To paraphrase President Lincoln, the world will little note nor long remember what you and I say here. But it can never forget what Casey Sheehan did during his brief turn on earth. If we are wise, we will take increased devotion to that cause for which he gave the last full measure of devotion.
'Our brave warriors have blazed a trail. They have enstrusted the completion of the task to those of us they left behind. Let's, you and I, resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.
'Let's finish the work that they have thus far so nobly advanced.
'Sincerely,
August 24th, 2005 at 2:26 pmGeorge W. Bush' "
Mrs. Sheehan, everyone dies. But few experience the bittersweet glory of death with a purpose — death that sets people free and produces ripples of liberty hundreds of years into the future.
Eeeeeeeeekkkkk!!! That could have been (maybe was stolen from) written by any suicide bomber. What the &^#%$#!!!!!! Bittersweet glory of death with a purpose???? THERE, that just made my whole case!! He is EXACTLY the same as the "martyrs" for which he has sent us to kill. FREAK!!!! Does he have any idea what he just said?
August 24th, 2005 at 2:36 pmIf anyone claims that DUHbya wrote any part of that without help I will personally call them a liar. And even all of that what did he say that every despotic leader over recorded time has not said. Play ball with me or I will shove the bat up your ass.
August 24th, 2005 at 2:42 pmUh, it's a fictitious letter. I guess you were behind the door when they passed out the humor genes.
August 24th, 2005 at 2:43 pmBy the way, the form of humor here is satire. In this case the satire cuts both ways. President Bush probably never would write a letter like this, for a number of reasons; and the left doesn't understand that every word is true.
August 24th, 2005 at 2:46 pm"President" Bush wouldn't and couldn't "write a letter like this," "probably" notwithstanding. He's too ineloquent to produce it as a serious work, and way too stupid (yes) to be capable of satire.And you can stop wasting your time with that old "the humorless left" canard - when something's funny, say, when the administration spins itself silly over the meaning over the word "vacation," my side does indeed laugh.
But ignoring the war? not funny. Nor the "everybody dies" line in the pseudoletter. That this Pygmalion project by the conscienceless Rove should be in any position of power let alone THE most powerful player on the planet - well, that's just tragic.
I skimmed these comments for just one poster on the right (not correct) side of the equation, and finally came upon the likes of you, Mr. or Ms. Red. Consider yourself among the foolish (though rapidly diminishing) minions who, for reasons I can't or will never understand, still support the fraud in the WH, the ranch, or wherever the he// he is right now.
August 24th, 2005 at 3:58 pmUmmmm how many days was Clinton getting a b/j supposedly while at work?????????????
August 24th, 2005 at 4:01 pmCan anyone on line check out this work supposedly being done at the WH?
I doubt that it is going on, and even if it is, it should not keep a president from working there.
August 24th, 2005 at 4:22 pmCan anyone on line check out this work supposedly being done at the WH?
I doubt that it is going on, and even if it is, it should not keep a president from working there.
August 24th, 2005 at 4:22 pmEvery word is true for the left. That's the thing here. Going to war for a noble cause is honorable. We rip on Georgie cuz he lied to us and we are dying because of our president... not because its a noble cause.
August 24th, 2005 at 4:29 pm"Consider yourself among the foolish (though rapidly diminishing) minions who, for reasons I can’t or will never understand, still support the fraud in the WH, the ranch, or wherever the he// he is right now."
How 'bout I just leave it at being on the winning side in the last two election cycles - and on the right side of history?
August 24th, 2005 at 4:31 pmGoing to war and killing innocent civilians is so macho! We kick ass as a country! Ain't it great to be able to say we are on the "right" side of history. F*** the rest of the world we have Georgie and he knows best.
August 24th, 2005 at 4:37 pm"Ain’t it great to be able to say we are on the “right†side of history. F*** the rest of the world we have Georgie and he knows best."
We have you, too, numbnuts, which would not be the case if this was Iraq in 2002, or 2001, or 2000 . . . I can take all the vulgar left wing sarcasm you can dish out, if that's really how you want to waste your time. But you won't stand a chance of changing any red state minds until you grow up.
August 24th, 2005 at 4:43 pmPerhaps Bush and company should spend five weeks in Iraq shoulder to shoulder with our troops.
August 24th, 2005 at 4:45 pmI am sure the families of the fallen servicemembers wish that they could take a vacation with them.
August 24th, 2005 at 4:51 pm"Numbnuts"!!!! Sounds like a red guy is getting annoyed. I to believe in war when its for a good couse. We should be in Afghanistan battling the terrorists and catching Osama. But we're not, are we? We're in Iraq for what reason? Because they were gonna bomb us, or supply terrorists, or declare war against us? The only person here wasting their time is Mr Red who is typing away on a liberal website. How much more time can you spare us brother? We really want to hear your spin. Why do you think we're in Iraq then? I'd really like to hear your answer. And please stay away from the all-to-familiar "to defend our freedoms" crap. With that rationale we could invade the world, kill babies cuz they may grow up to hurt us or whatever rhetoric you want. War is never a good answer... and in this case it never should have been an option.
August 24th, 2005 at 4:55 pmIsn't it red state minds that want to teach creationism and intelligent design? How can you change the mind of ignorance itself?

"What Have We Done?"
As the blood of US soldiers continues to drain into the hot sands of Iraq over the last several days with at least 27 US soldiers killed and the approval rating for his handling of the debacle in Iraq dropping to an all-time low of 38%, Mr. Bush commented from the comforts of his ranch in Crawford, Texas today, “We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq.â€
Just a two hour drive away in Dallas, at the Veterans for Peace National Convention in Dallas, I’m sitting with a roomful of veterans from the current quagmire.
When asked what he would say to Mr. Bush if he had the chance to speak to him, Abdul Henderson, a corporal in the Marines who served in Iraq from March until May, 2003, took a deep breath and said, “It would be two hits-me hitting him and him hitting the floor. I see this guy in the most prestigious office in the world, and this guy says ‘bring it on.’ A guy who ain’t never been shot at, never seen anyone suffering, saying ‘bring it on?’ He gets to act like a cowboy in a western movie…it’s sickening to me.â€
The other vets with him nod in agreement as he speaks somberly…his anger seething.
One of them, Alex Ryabov, a corporal in an artillery unit which was in Iraq the first three months of the invasion, asked for some time to formulate his response to the same question.
“I don’t think Bush will ever realize how many millions of lives he and his lackeys have ruined on their quest for money, greed and power,†he says, “To take the patriotism of the American people for granted…the fact that people (his administration) are willing to lie and make excuses for you while you continue to kill and maim the youth of America and ruin countless families…and still manage to do so with a smile on your face.â€
Taking a deep breath to steady himself he continues as if addressing Bush first-hand; “You needs to resign, take the billions of dollars you’ve made off the blood and sweat of US service members….all the suffering you’ve caused us, and put those billions of dollars into the VA to take care of the men and women you sent to be slaughtered. Yet all those billions aren’t enough to even try to compensate all the people who have been affected by this.â€
These new additions to Veterans for Peace are actively living the statement of purpose of the organization, having pledged to work with others towards increasing public awareness of the costs of war, to work to restrain their government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations and to see justice for veterans and victims of war, among other goals.
I type furiously for three hours, trying to keep up with the stories each of the men shared….about the atrocities of what they saw, and committed, while in Iraq.
Camilo Mejia, an army staff sergeant who was sentenced to a year in military prison in May, 2004 for refusing to return to Iraq after being home on leave, talks openly about what he did there:
“What it all comes down to is redemption for what was done there. I was turning ambulances away from going to hospitals, I killed civilians, I tortured guys…and I’m ashamed of that. Once you are there, it has nothing to do with politics…it has to do with you as an individual being there and killing people for no reason. There is no purpose, and now I’m sick at myself for doing these things. I kept telling myself I was there for my buddies. It was a weak reasoning…because I still shut my mouth and did my job.â€
Mejia then spoke candidly about why he refused to return:
“It wasn’t until I came home that I felt it-how wrong it all was and that I was a coward for pushing my principles aside. I’m trying to buy my way back into heaven…and it’s not so much what I did, but what I didn’t do to stop it when I was there. So now it’s a way of trying to undo the evil that we did over there. This is why I’m speaking out, and not going back. This is a painful process and we’re going through it.â€
Camilo Mejia was then quick to point towards the success of his organization and his colleagues. “When I went back to Iraq in October of 2003, the Pentagon said there were 22 AWOL’s. Five months later it was 500, and when I got out of jail that number was 5,000. These are the Pentagons’ numbers for the military. Two things are significant here-the number went from 500-5,000 in 11 months, and these are the numbers from the Pentagon.â€
While the military is falling short of its recruitment goals across the board and the disaster in Iraq spiraling deeper into chaos with each passing day, these are little consolation for these men who have paid the price they’ve had to pay to be at this convention. They continue to pay, but at the same time stand firm in their resolve to bring an end to the occupation of Iraq and to help their fellow soldiers.
Ryabov then begins to tell of his unit firing the wrong artillery rounds which hit 5-10 km from their intended target.
“We have no idea where those rounds fell, or what they hit,†he says quietly while two of the men hold their heads in their hands, “Now we’ve come to these realizations and we’re trying to educate people to save them from going through the same thing.â€
After talking of the use of uranium munitions, of which Ryabov stated 300 tons of which were used in the ’91 Gulf War, and 2,200 tons and counting having been used thus far in the current war, he adds, “We were put in a foreign country and fire artillery and kill people…and it shouldn’t have even happened in the first place. It’s hard to put into words the full tragedy of it-the death and suffering on both sides. I feel a grave injustice has been done and I’m trying to correct it. You do all these things and come back and think, ‘what have we done?’ We just rolled right by an Iraqi man with a gunshot in his thigh and two guys near him waving white flags….he probably bled to death.â€
Harvey Tharp sitting with us served in Kirkuk. His position of being in charge of some reconstruction projects in northern Iraq allowed him to form many close friendships with Iraqis…something that prompts him to ask me to tell more people of the generous culture of the Iraqi people. His friendships apparently brought the war much closer to home for him.
“What I concluded last summer when I was waiting to transfer to NSA was that not only were our reasons for being there lies, but we just weren’t there to help the Iraqis. So in November of ‘04 I told my commander I couldn’t take part in this. I would have been sent into Fallujah, and he was going to order me in to do my job. I also chose not to go back because the dropping of bombs in urban areas like Fallujah are a violation of the laws of warfare because of the near certainty of collateral damage. For me, seeing the full humanity of Iraqis made me realize I couldn’t participate in these operations.â€
Tharp goes on to say that he believes there are still Vietnam vets who think that that was a necessary war and adds, “I think it’s because that keeps the demons at bay for them to believe it is justified…this is their coping mechanism. We, as Americans, have to face the total obvious truth that this was all because of a lie. We are speaking out because we have to speak out. We want to help other vets tell other vets their story…to keep people from drinking themselves to death.â€
When he is asked what he would say to Mr. Bush if he had a few moments with him, he too took some time to think about it, then says, “It is obvious that middle America is starting to turn against this war and to turn against you…for good reason. The only thing I could see that would arrest this inevitable fall that you deserve, is another 9/11 or another war with say, Iran. There are some very credible indications in the media that we are already in pre-war with Iran. What I’m trying to do is find a stand Americans can take against you, but I think people are willing to say ‘don’t you dare do this to us again.’ My message to the American people is this-do you want to go another round with these people? If not-now is the time to say so.â€
The men are using this time to tell more of why they are resisting the illegal occupation, and it’s difficult to ask new questions as they are adding to what one another share.
“I didn’t want to kill another soul for no reason. That’s it,†adds Henderson, “We were firing into small towns….you see people just running, cars going, guys falling off bikes…it was just sad. You just sit there and look through your binos and see things blowing up, and you think, man they have no water, living in the third world, and we’re just bombing them to hell. Blowing up buildings, shrapnel tearing people to shreds.â€
Tharp jumps in and adds, “Most of what we’re talking about is war crimes…war crimes because they are directed by our government for power projection. My easy answer for not going is PTSD…but the deeper moral reason is that I didn’t want to be involved in a crime against humanity.â€
Ryabov then adds, “We were put in a foreign country to fire artillery and kill people…and it shouldn’t have even happened in the first place. It’s hard to put into words the full tragedy of it-the death and suffering on both sides. I feel a grave injustice has been done and I’m trying to correct it. You do all these things and come back and think, what have we done?â€
Michael Hoffman served as a Marine Corps corporal who fought in Tikrit and Baghdad, and has since become a co-founder of Iraq Veterans Against the War.
“Nobody wants to kill another person and think it was because of a lie. Nobody wants to think their service was in vain,†says Hoffman.
His response to what he would say to Mr. Bush is simple, “I would look him straight in the eye and ask him ‘why?’ And I would hold him there and make him answer me. He never has to deal with us one on one. I dare him to talk to any of us like that, one on one, and give us an answer.â€
Hoffman then adds, “What about the 3 year old Iraqi girl who is now an orphan with diseases and nightmares for the rest of her life for what we did? And the people who orchestrated this don’t have to pay anything. How many times are my children going to have to go through this? Our only choice is to fight this to try to stop it from happening again.â€
Earlier this same day Mr. Bush said, “We cannot leave this task half finished, we must take it all the way to the end.â€
However, Charlie Anderson, another Iraq veteran, had strong words for Bush. After discussing how the background radiation in Baghdad is now five times the normal rate-the equivalent of having 3 chest x-rays an hour, he said, “These are not accidents-the DU [Depleted Uraniaum]-it’s important for people to understand this-the use of DU and its effects are by design. These are very carefully engineered and orchestrated incidents.â€
While the entire group nods in agreement and two other soldiers stand up to shake his hand, Anderson says firmly, “You subverted us, you destroyed our lives, you owe us. I want your resignation in my hand in the next five minutes. Get packin’ Georgie.â€
August 24th, 2005 at 4:59 pmIt is so refreshing to see that the majority of americans are coming to their senses. We must march on Sept. 24th all over the country (NY, SEATTLE, LA, etc)to represent the growing disgust for what littlebush has done to the reputation, economy, quality of life, environment, education and military of america. Not to mention the rest of the world.
August 24th, 2005 at 5:06 pm99% of the world agrees with 63% of america.
If you are still in the 37% of americans who continue to blindly support the bush regime, you might want to start thinking for yourselves. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid. The rest of us see through the BS. Why can't you? This is no longer a partisan issue! This is a matter of life and death. Bush is making us more threatened than ever. He is doing nothing to make us safer!
peace
I agree with what he said.
August 24th, 2005 at 5:09 pmBS thinks we want to change his mind. You came to us, we didn't come to you.
August 24th, 2005 at 5:16 pmBush is inept and a liar, so, no matter where he spends his days, vacationing or otherwise (in a normal man's terms), he's on a perpetual vacation from reality.
August 24th, 2005 at 5:50 pm"Why do you think we’re in Iraq then? I’d really like to hear your answer."
That's easy. We are in Iraq because, in 1998, it became the stated policy of the United States to force Saddam Hussein to comply with his international obligations, which he never did; because, in 1998, it became the stated policy of the United States "to remove from power the [Saddam Hussein] regime and promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime;" and because, in October 2002, Congress authorized the President "to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq."
You could look it up.
All but one Democrat in the House, and all but 12 Democrats in the Senate, voted for the authorizing Joint Resolution. And you don't authorize a President to send men and women to war, then decide to holler "uncle" when the going gets tough. Once you cast your vote, you do everything you can to make sure the war is successful. That means, among other things, unconditional support for the troops.
You think the current poll numbers are wonderful? They could change in a New York minute. But the nation's official policy, as stated by Congress, remains the same. So, if you really want to test the strength of those poll numbers, see if you can persuade the congressional Democrats to propose a new Joint Resolution, declaring that it was all a mistake, and we never should have gone after Saddam in the first place. My guess is there isn't a Democrat on Capitol Hill who would even return your phone call for an idea like that.
August 24th, 2005 at 5:54 pmI am very happy that the president is on vacation. The country deserves the break. Hopefully while he is off he can't screw anything else up. First our international reputation in the far east, now in S. America, the economy, the war, the enviornment, and his p..s poor energy bill. Just hope the country is strong enought to survive the next 3 years.
August 24th, 2005 at 6:01 pmEvery hard working American deserves a vacation, even the President. His position is very stressful and relaxation is necessary. Do you get a vacation? When you are on vacation, do you bring your work with you? President Bush is working on his vacation. Do you even work for a living or are you sucking up welfare?
August 24th, 2005 at 6:03 pmFirst of all, why do the White House and the press insist on calling Mr. Bush's Texas home a "ranch?" Has anyone bothered to check the definition of a "ranch?" It is, "a large farm on which a particular crop or kind of animal is raised."
August 24th, 2005 at 6:15 pmOK. Mister Bush raises no animals, not even horses. Does all of the "brush" he's so busy clearning qualify as a "crop?" I doubt it.
Let's start calling this 1,500 acre home what is really is, "an estate." In fact, it's a very large estate. Situated not far from the former home of David Koresh and his lunatic followers, it's more likely a "compound."
Sure, the White House spinmeisters love the homey, folksy sound of the term "ranch." But, that doesn't mean we need to follow their self-serving lead by accepting that term. Let's face it. It's a very rich man's estate where the lord of the manor feels he has the right to go on vacation more than he has the duty to guide this troubled country in the public interest.
I cannot believe all the nasty comments about our President that all you people out there are saying. You should be ashamed off yourselves. LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISSORDER!!! . THANK GOD THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF THIS COUNTRY WERE NOT LIBERALS LIKE YOU OR ELSE THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.,DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW THAT WITH FREEDOM OF SPEECH COMES A LOT OF RESPONSABILITY, YOU CANNOT JUST LET YOUR MOUTH SPEAK ANYTHING, BUT OF COURSE WHAT IS ON THE INSIDE SHOWS. BY YOUR WORDS YOU WILL BE JUDGED AND BY YOUR ACTIONS!!!YOU WILL LOSE ELECTIONS. THAT IS WHY KERRY LOST.
August 24th, 2005 at 6:16 pmWhy are not Bush's two Daughters there too? The whole armed service men and women are either there because they joined the Army or Marines because there were no jobs for them at home or they were in the National Guard(of their own choice). What we need is a draft like other wars so that "ALL" would be required to serve. In that way His Daughters and all the college kids including many Congressmen and Senators's Sons and Daughters would be their serving their country in a senseless war which BUSH got us into.
August 24th, 2005 at 6:19 pmThere is an old saying that no man's property is safe as long as the legislature in in session. We should hope that Bush and the congress stay on vacation.
August 24th, 2005 at 6:29 pmIts hard to read these comments about the president. Does anyone remember everything that has gone on during his time in office and how he has had to deal with all that. 9/11 and this war. I am sure that people writing their little comments do not have to deal with terrorist threats and things such as that. The president for all he has to deal with deserves time off also. People who dont see that its not just because of the president that this economy is going down. It is because everyone in it, we make this country what it is. But I guess everyone wants a scapegoat for everything and the president is an easy target for that. People in the this country are blinded by so much. We are the country that helps other nations and that is why this country is so great. This country is in this war to protect countries that otherwise cannot help themselves. Military men and women sign up to join the military for that purpose. And in their minds they know what they have to do. President Bush has dealt with so much in the time he has spent in the presidency that I dont think anyone else could ever handle.
August 24th, 2005 at 6:31 pmRove hiding as "Blue State Red"?
August 24th, 2005 at 6:37 pmremodeling of the oval office was the reason they gave for him spending the entire month of august in crawford in 2001
August 24th, 2005 at 6:39 pmForget about the 9/11 attacks as if they never happened. Tell the millions of humans impacted by Sadam's murders to fin for themselves. It appears that most of the weasles posting here live in a fantasy world and think America is now disliked because of President Bush. The 9/11 attacks were being planned while Bubba Clinton was busy having his schlong smoked in the White House and when we finally get a president with the guts to do something about the wrong and evil in the World they complain when he takes a vacation. Crawford, Texas a vacation? C'mon! Here's a news flash for you: If you join the Military even in peace time there's a good chance you might get hurt or even killed. I can't imagine what horrible shape our country would be in if Edward Kerry would have won the election! You people really need to open your eyes, get off you lazy, welfare dependent butts and take action instead on sitting around pissing and moaning.
August 24th, 2005 at 6:43 pmIt's amazing so many people actually believe the President, regardless of party, actually takes a vacation.
August 24th, 2005 at 6:45 pmI am not so sure it is "time off" at all..... but rather .. "relaxed time". Many of you cannot imagine the schedule this man keeps. It is essential that he get some "down time", (f you can even call it tat)..... Given the flac he recieves, we should be concerned for his sanity.
To you small minded people out their, KMA. Leave our president alone.
Randy
August 24th, 2005 at 6:50 pmWait a second, didn't President Bush go on vacation right after 9/11? If we just saw the guy doing some work instead of lounging around like a lazy bum, then perhaps there wouldn't be so many nay-sayers about him.
August 24th, 2005 at 6:58 pmIf Bill Clinton were to read these comments now and comment to the same, I am sure he would confirm the need for President Bush's much needed refrain from the stress of the White House. It is a given that our President be given time to recharge. Whoever states otherwise is misguided and abusive.
Randy
August 24th, 2005 at 6:59 pmYou are aboslutely right. Everyone in this counrty should be concerned about his sanity. I think he has short term memory loss. Remember the Iraq was was to stop the spread of WMD. OOPS. Then it was to depose Saddam becuase he was connected to Al Qaeda. OOPS wrong again. Then is was to defeat terrorism. OOPS now there are more terrorists in Iraq than when we invaded. Now its to spread freedom and democracy. OOPS that excuse wont work either since the latest draft of the Iraqi "constitution" defines Iraq as an Islamic State. What's the next excuse? Rumsfelf lost his wallet when he visited Saddam a few years back and Bushie is just helping him look for it since it has gotten so much fatter in the last few years. Im all for supporting troops, but dont support policy that is misguided and devoid of rationality.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:01 pmDo you really think that when President Bush takes a "vacation" that it's a vacation like you and I would take, laying out in the sun, drinking cocktails, listening to your IPod, laying on the couch watching bad movies? You libs just keep on keeping on with your mindless b.s. Don't you think the President is just as capable running the country from his house as he is from the White House? I'm sure he's got a phone, fax machine, computer, t.v., etc...and anything else he needs to do his job. While Slick Willie was running things he was too busy getting head from interns as Bin Laden was planning his destruction. Thanks, Bill. Oh and by the way..hey AOL, are YOU EVER going to say anything positive about President Bush, or are you just as left-wing as the rest of the media?
August 24th, 2005 at 7:04 pmIs there anything positive to say? Try focusing on real issues here. I dont care if Bush is making bad decisions on "vacation" in Texas or in the WH. Either way he is leading us on a path of less security and more danger in our future.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:09 pmI remember right before 9-11-01 when a Statue of Bhudda was blown up by some terrorists in the desert, a foreboding of action to come. Bush was on his ranch.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:09 pmWhy was Bush on his ranch all month, when intellectuals all over the world were warning of the seriousness of the descecration of that piece of art carved into a mesa? Not important enough for W.
Also, why were the press shots always
taken with a shot gun shack in the background, making us look like a 3rd world Country?
kool - The official spinners army - note: the eagle can not fly at all with only a right wing
August 24th, 2005 at 7:11 pmIts amazing that so many people believe the President. I'm amazed he can run a truck. He sure as shooting can't run a Country, maybe he should just stay on the ranch and spend some much needed time in the outhouse. As long as there are people who believe Bush, this Country is in more trouble than imaginable. Remember, nobody died when Slick Willie lied, although he made many mistakes he makes W look like a real Bushleague player.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:16 pmI think people should start worrying less about the president and his "vacation" and start to worry more about what happens in their own day to day lives. People are dying in a war, guess what, that stuff happens when you are in war. We die, They die, it happens on both ends of the stick. Instead of the American People standing in front of Bush's ranch in Texas, go to work and worry about driving this dying economy forward, as for the troops who serve this country day in and day out GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILIES, and for those who have lost their lives defending a super power, may GOD save your soul.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:17 pmWhat do think I am worried about? I am worried that we created another Terrorist training ground, not in some remote mountain range in Afghanistan, but the entire country of Iraq. I am worried that those same terrorists are coming for us. If we had not diverted our attention from Bin Laden for Iraq based on multiple false premises our world and our country would be much safer than it is today.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:23 pmyeah...i would love to be paid to work as the president if all he has to do is go boating and ride horses...do the troops get a vacation? yes. how often? every YEAR or so. How long? a couple weeks!
August 24th, 2005 at 7:32 pmPreisdent Bush should hire someone to clear the brush at his ranch. This would help the economy, by giving someone a job and allow President Bush time to talk to the poor woman outside the ranch that loss her son in Iraq.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:40 pmI find his need to vacation at a time like this very selfish. Of all times? He needs a break? WHY??? Our American people fighting for us in Iraq are fighting for his lame ass as well..for his freedom to vacation for 5 WEEKS!!!!???!! How do you think they feel? I'm sure they'd rather be bike riding with Lance Armstrong rather than dodging bullets. How insulting!!
The fact he feels that he is entitled to take 5 weeks off is disgusting. The average American can't afford to take more than just a few days off, let alone 5 weeks. My household would crumble..I'd lose my job, my home and God only know's what else. Westwing remodel my ass. Just admit it Georgie...you bit off more than you can chew running for 2nd term. You should have graciously stepped down and let a better man with morals handle the job you obviously cannot cope with. You absolutely disgust me. Why don't you send your precious little girls to Iraq? Right...that would happen.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:47 pm"Civil Disobedience" - Henry David Thoreau
The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies.
They are the standing army, and the militia, jailors, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens. Others--as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and officeholders--serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the Devil, without intending it, as God. A very few, as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men, serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it. -- Henry David Thoreau, "Civil Disobedience"
August 24th, 2005 at 7:48 pmPres. J.F.K. did not accept a salery when in office but donated it back I think. A rich man like Bush certainly could at least donate his salery to our troops returning that are wounded and need homes and med prothesis. He appears selfish to me and vacationing while his fellow Americans give even their lives! MARJORIE T. SMITH
August 24th, 2005 at 7:56 pmthe presidnet got us into this war so he should be over there fighting. not in tx having some r and r. what was he thinking?!?!?!?!?! he knows there is a war going on. when bill was having his fun he had it the white house. oh but wait, we wasn't at war. the president seems to be all was on vacation when there is something major happening. like right after 9-11-01 happened. he was on vacation. he doesn't care about what is happening to our loved ones over there!!!!! i but if it was his daughters, he wouldn't be on vacation for a whole month. think about it.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:58 pmIs it REALLY that big a hairy deal to everyone? Seems to me that THOSE are the ones that NEED to get a life!
Get over yourselves! The President is a VERY BUSY man and your sniveling must seriously get on his last nerve.
August 24th, 2005 at 7:58 pmTHIS IDIOT IS PROBABLY TAKING A VACATION BECAUSE HE HEARD THERE WAS GOING TO BE A STRIKE ON WASHINGTON FROM SOME TERRORIST GROUP, AND THE COWARD IS OUT OF TOWN TO SAVE HIS OWN NECK. AND THE HELL WITH THE REST OF AMERICA. HE GETS RICH EVERY DAY THROUGH HIS FAMILIES OIL REFINERIES, WHILE WE PAY HIGH PRICES. OUR PEOPLE ARE DYING IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WHILE HE VACATIONS. HE IS A SELFISH CHICKEN-SHIT. HE BARELY SERVED THE NATIONAL GUARD. IF HIS GIRLS WERE DRAFTED YOU WOULD SEE HOW FAST THINGS WOULD CHANGE IN IRAQ. I HOPE YOU FOOLS THAT VOTED FOR HIM GO DOWN WITH HIM WHEN HE SINKS OUR COUNTRY INTO DISASTER.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:01 pmExcuse me MEISHA...but when 911 happened Mr. Bush was in a classromm reading to students, not on vacation. What grade are you in? Maybe some HISTORY classes would serve you well before you step onto a public forum.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:02 pm#58 listen up
Bush-maggot went to war based upon lies.. lies that he and his entire 1st Cabinet knew to be lies. And, to help make his lies stick, the intelligece bush provided to the US Congress, was "fixed" so as tohave it "match" the neocon conspiracy of bush-lies.
That single act of decpetion, by all persons involved, was one of high-treason. John Bolton has already been directly implicated in the actual "fixing" of the intelligence.
There was no valid reason to "pre-emptively" attack Iraq, period. The neocons, aka PNAC, are simply going for broke (pun intended).
Bush, however, is clearly in a fix. Our military is not winning in Iraq, and is incapable of sustaining the current ferocity of the war for much longer, much less going to war with Iran (the bush nutace remark of late).
The deception is taking shape elsewhere as well. The Army this past month announced that they had "met recuitment totals", after failing to do so for nearly 6 months. Sure, then suddenly all is well, and out of the blue the Army met a recuitment quota? Well, you see, what the Army left out, was that their new quota was less than have than the month previous... Keep a close watch on the words of decpetion... they seek to lure our youngsters into joining into this illegal war.
Better yet, make certain your kids know about the bush-chimp's lies, and that what bush has done are high-crimes. Do not allow your draft-aged children to join, make them aware that this war was contrived on a lie for profit and power and control of oil, and by no means was it legal -- keep your children home, safe. Help cut-off the supply of freesh meat for the bush-nazi-butcher.
Think too of how corrupt this bush-admistration is. Think of who Cheney really is, and now laying low --is he also on vacation? Think too to watch the actions and words from GHWB (bush-daddy), for, he is the "dom" of this PNAC conspiracy.
We need to not only call for our troops to be brought back ASAP, we need to focus on demanding the rule of law be applied to the bush-boys -- and not by awaiting a corrupted GOP Congress to impeach him (they never will because they are part and parcel to the high-crimes). We need to demand the immediate arrest of bush and his entire 1sr Cabinet for the high-crime of conspriring to commit crimes against hunmanity.
You see, it is NOT necessary to impeach a president and for him to face a "farce of a political trial" in the Senate. Bush can be and should be arrested, flat-out on a FBI criminal warrent, as can ANYONE.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:11 pmDEMAND IT NOW!
http://www.votetoimpeach.org
I continued to be amazed how many morons we have in this country. How do you all define a vacation? The President's job is 24X7 365 days a year regardless of whether he is Texas, DC or anywhere else. Get a clue!
August 24th, 2005 at 8:15 pmMr. Bill,
AND you were in the MILITARY for how long? WHAT have you done for your country? 2 YRS in the guard is probably MORE than YOU'VE offered up in your lifetime.
Blessed is the nation whose leader is faithful to the Lord.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:16 pmSince you are so emphathetic to that country...why don't ya move there and experience it. How bout someone BEAT the S*** out of your wife or daughter because their wristbone was exposed. Better yet, take all the books away from your kids and let them run around the streets in raw sewage and no antibiotics to save their lives when they get sick. Try never owning a pair of shoes...and last but not least...stomp all the phones in your possession, cut all electricity from your home and scrounge water on a daily basis and then ask ALLAH to put food on your doorstep each morning.
You are so wrapped up in your own hatred that you disrespect the good that this war has fostered.
“I’ve got a life to liveâ€. Yet, many of the troops he sent off to protect the interests of oil companies... don't.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:17 pmDid it ever cross any of your minds that in the wireless age everything, including nuclear retaliation, can be done from Crawford? Does it seem funny that most of his staff takes "vacation" with him? Leave it to liberals to criticize someone for NOT being a Washington ellitist.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:18 pmSo this brings up the question, what IS IT that so many American people see in this self centered baffon?
August 24th, 2005 at 8:20 pmfor the sake of the future of this country,the president should stay on vacation for the rest of his term in office
August 24th, 2005 at 8:29 pmMargerie,
Clinton didn't donate his salary either...I think they called it...ummmm
WHITEWATER. Imagine that.
Did you know that the Clinton's "leased" the SS space in their mansion while protecting them for 10K a month? Amazingly...that's exactly what their house payment was.
What the soldiers and the President needs is America's support. If you want to help send a donation to your States Family Readiness Group. THAT fund is for the soldiers families that are deployed. It may even be tax deductible.
If anyone on this post REALLY wants to support the soldiers as they are claiming...make a donation.
All you have to do is type in your state and family readiness group to get a link to this organization.
EXAMPLE:
(your state) Army National Guard Family Readiness Group
Show your colors, not your arses.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:32 pmHas every one of our soldiers had their month of vacation?
August 24th, 2005 at 8:32 pmDear Ron...Speaking from experience..We soldiers LOVE not paying taxes while we are in country and we spend the s888 out of it when we get home. Some of us even go back two or three times because of the quality of life our family has from all the benefits. Landmines and IED's are only a technicality.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:38 pmCC1959 - Yes we have. and we flew free on Delta Airlines and were even upgraded before civilians at no additional cost. Anymore bright quips?
August 24th, 2005 at 8:40 pmIf a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
August 24th, 2005 at 8:45 pmHey 76,
The Taliban blew up the statues during Bill Clinton's term. Bin Laden planned the attacks during Clinton's time. I do not for one blame Clinton. The president is there as executive branch of the government. There are three branches the last time I checked. I feel that the blame first lies the the terrorists and their leaders. Then the fault lies with the whoever makes the rules to prevent areas of our government from sharing vital information with each other. Why the beauracracy? Finally, everyone likes to call Bush unintelligent. My question is this: what other President of the United States had a Master's Degree? How many of us do? I am a doctor and I have two Bachelor's but no Masters. I feel sad. I remember the day of the attacks and everyone was behind the President. We were shocked and sad. Never in the history of the US had an enemy attacked such a large number of people, especially civilians. These attacks that people now throw at Bush would not have happened then. Also, does anyone remember DDAY? How many Americans were killed in the single day of fighting? What were they there for? To help oppressed people. We could have simply gone to war against Japan, but we didn't. We went to help the people of Europe. Oh, and on the WMD. If six friends of yours said that some guy in the parking lot had a gun, would you call the police or simply walk to your car?
August 24th, 2005 at 8:48 pmI think people should see our President for the joke that he is turning out to be. He preaches against terrorist activities as well as his conviction to track down and eliminate the threat. This all LOOKS LIKE BULL. If he infact is true to this cause why is Bin Laden still ALIVE. I fear, him and his daddy's oil interests have interfeared with this cause. President Bush seems to have no concern with the oil price situation, or anything that real people have to deal with everyday. He is too concerned with trying to ruin systems that he will never have to depend on as president, we are obligated to support, and guard him and his family for the rest of their lives no matter what the cost. Why should he care. It's time to get back to being REAL. President Bush, loose the blank look you have anytime you are asked a question that needs a REAL answer, from a REAL president. If not you should stay on Vacation, This Country needs a (REAL) President either Democrat, or Republican.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:53 pmThe man is everywhere. Federal, State, County, City. They all control what we do. I have 26 years in the US Army and proud of it but I also have feelings and a brain. I sometimes wonder why "the Man" is always a hypocrite. I worked my whole life to develop a recreation park after retirement to get kidds off the street because I had nothing like this when I was a kid. "The man" took my life savings promising that this is what they had to do to get my dream going and shot me out to die with a 40% disability from the war I cannot go to the doctor and every job I go to they turn me away becuase I have a disablility now from the war. This country is who you know and everything I believed in as an amercian soldier about being free is only for the ones that are in the click. We fought only for those who stayed back and reaped the benefits of us fighting. When we camer home we got nothing but a to thank God we were alive. I am now going to lose my new home and truck. I have nothing but a good insurance policy for my family left. I feel that maybe alot of us that were injured in IRAQ should have died there. If it wasn't for my family I would be on the street right now and Bush is on vacation. But I support him in whatever he does. I still have my honor and my pride of what I am and what I as a normal citizen (Not a government life taker) has. I can die proudly or go to sleep with my heart intact. God bless the soldiers/seamen of america and all the families of the US Armed Forces. Thank you for your time
August 24th, 2005 at 8:54 pmI think Bush is one of the most real presidents we have ever had.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:55 pmIt would have been nice if my husband could have taken a 5 week vacation while home on R&R from Iraq, rather than 15 days.
August 24th, 2005 at 8:57 pmHey Doc (#102)
We stormed the beaches at Normandy because two nations declared war on us. We didn't do it out of some selfless moral obligation to opressed peoples. We stayed out the fight until Japan gave us no alternative. We fought Germandy because they declared war on us (Axis Treaty) after we declared war on Japan. Besides, I'm sick of you neocons comparing this imoral, illegal, and poorly planned travesty in Iraq to World War II. We won WWII because we had the moral high-ground to prop us up during difficult times. We will not win in Iraq because we immorally invaded a sovereign nation because of petty and prefabricated lies.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:04 pmI think Bush deserves a vacation. The man works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He has had a very tough couple of years. I have heard of bigwigs taking longer ones...GIVE THE GUY A BREAK!!! Besides...it is not as if he is ACTUALLY on vacation. He is still running the nation.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:06 pmbaby boy bush deserves nothing
August 24th, 2005 at 9:06 pmAsked if six friends told me someone had a gun in the parking lot I would not call the police or go to my car. I would ask a German or Frenchman!
August 24th, 2005 at 9:08 pmWhat was it W was working on again - I forget - is it still Gannon/Guckett?
August 24th, 2005 at 9:18 pmWhat war? There is no war, on terrorism or otherwise. It's serves certain interests to keep saying there is. We have a difficult, dangerous peacekeeping effort. But we defeated a tiny, war torn, poverty stricken, third world nation in a matter of months. Now we're stuck with it. But there is no war. Vietnam was a war.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:27 pmI think that the news agencies need to take a vacation and get a life!! I wonder why the news agencies are not asking the same questions about congress!! Maybe it is because of all the democrats that are on vacation at the same time as the president. How about some objectivity?? Or did you forget that the congress voted for this war!!
August 24th, 2005 at 9:29 pmCongress gave the President the authority to use force in necessary. Bush and his minions decided to go to war.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:34 pmThe president is never on vacation, he is constantly receiving briefings and making governmental decisions. What's the difference if he does so from the White House or from Crawford.
This is just a case of liberal whining because somehow they want the president to suffer because our troops are in harms way. They hate the president because of his courage and integrity in doing the right thing even in the face of serious opposition. The democrats seem to be the party that says "when the going gets tough, let's get going, out of town that is". Rather than fight a difficult fight, they want to run and hide. We can't afford that in Iraq.
Thank God for America that George W. Bush is our president.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:48 pmI am a die in the wool Democrat. I voted for Gore and Kerry but must side with Bush on this issue. The President is always on duty. Crisis situations come up at anytime and require his immediate attention regardless of where he is. Leave Bush alone on this one. The break might do him some good which in turn may do the country some good.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:51 pmOSAMA BIN LADEN = 9-11-01
Our president should not rest until this man is caught or eliminated.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:53 pmI really don`t think that anyone who is President of this great country,that we all live in and have the freedom to voice our opinions in, ever really is on vacation.Just because he happens to be at his Texas home does not remove him from the forefront of the issues that he must deal with every day during his presidency.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:56 pmI personally support the President and the action taken against Iraq and the war on terror.I have two sons in the military,serving our country and our Commander in Chief proudly.I am very proud of them and the rest of our fine men and women in uniform.I say they are doing a great job and with Americans continued and strong support,through much prayer and asking for the leadership of the holy spirit,we will prevail."Roll On",troops!!I salute you!!!!
It's easy being courageous from the cheap seats. As far as integrity...using our soldier's blood to fatten halliburton's wallet, the complete lies and character assassination of John McCain (now there's courage) in the 2000 elections, kissing Saudi butt after 9/11 to keep his fat-cat Carlyle Group happy, lying to get us into a war, exposing CIA operatives because they wouldn't tow the company line...yeah, the guy just oozes with integrity. But hey, at least those fags ain't getting married
August 24th, 2005 at 9:57 pmThe Bush haters are having a field day, but I don't here anyone clamoring for Congress to get back to work because we are at War. They are responsible for ensuring that supplemental funds needed to equip the troops with the best protection is appropriated and executed. Because so few Americans have served in the military or in conflict only a few know how tough it is to gives orders that may cost some men there lives. No one takes that responsibility lightly, especially President Bush. In the last centurary, technology didn't allow for Presidents to stray far from Washington. Today, the POTUS has the same Web enabled technology and security that almost any of his quarters can become the Situation Room.
And oh by the way, whether you serve in Iraq or Afaghanistan, or not you still earn 30 days vacation a years in the military. Why should the Commander in Chief of all our military forces not be allowed vacation. Anyone who studies human productivity understands the dynamics a healthy lifestyle, including vacations, has on a person's mental capabilities.
Give him and yourself a break for a couple of days and you will be suprised at how much sharper you wit is.
August 24th, 2005 at 9:59 pmThis President is a very brave man who is God fearing and more honest than the last one. If you read the comments from all the Bush haters who insult the President with the most vile and outrageous accusations it would not take much to believe that the terrorists are getting great support from the radical left in this country. The Media should be honest and report all the progress and the positive strides that have been accomplished by the combined efforts of the coalition forces and the interim Iraqi government. 9-11 was not our fault but the evil machinations of the terrorists who hate freedom and any type of Democratic society. Common sense seems to have flown out the window and sheer hate driven by the left over the lost elections and the sheer disbelief that most of the voting public did vote for President Bush. Those of us who think past our noses know he is not an idiot or a murdererous chimp as the left prefer to insult him with. Please grow up and think with clarity.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:10 pmI have absolutely no problem with Bush taking a break and recharging his batteries but the guy can't be so daft to think that the appearance of kicking back at the ranch for five weeks isn't going to draw som flak, expecially after repeatedly claiming how dedicated he is to following through on his war - no matter the cost.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:12 pmDoes the President get weekends off? No, Not really. Does he get Vacations? No, Not really. How many of you get daily status reports when you are on your vacation? How many of you meet with foreign leaders while on vacation? How many of you have to travel to military bases while on vacation. While he is doing all this " on vacation", people complain when he tries to take a bike ride. He is still running the country and nothing is falling apart while he is "on vacation". After all, I can't blame him from wanting to get away from the likes of John Kerry and Teddy Kennedy for awhile. Take an extra week on me Mr. President.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:12 pm#53 - Pretty powerful essay and all of it true. It's about time we as Americans stand up and demand that we get our soldiers home NOW! I am looking forward to the Impeach Bush rally on September 24 and wish I could be there. I hope Bush and his entire "mafia" is impeached and tried in a court of law for treason.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:13 pmWhat a clueless prick.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:14 pmPEOPLE WAKE UP! The man is not fit to run our country unless you want him to run it into the ground!!!!
August 24th, 2005 at 10:20 pmYes it is probably a working vacation, you see since he went to the Whitehouse , Crawford TX has been without a Village Idiot. So, therefore he has to return to Crawford periodically. You could say he is moonlighting.
And another thing, to all you people who are calling us liberals because we are so unhappy with the pResident WAKE UP! Get deprogrammed! Forget what you heard on the media about 911, remember Osama Bin Gone Along time, know the Iraq was a cooked up deal long before our troops (whom I support) were sent there, know that the dissidents came to Iraq after Bush declared the war illegally. Know that not only our troops are dying so are too many innocent Iraqi people. If we are Liberals then THANK GOD because we have not been brainwashed!
August 24th, 2005 at 10:30 pmpesident bush in texas because the west wing is being renovated - does no one else see the humor in this statement? isn't the west wing a television series?
August 24th, 2005 at 10:32 pmwill the pres be back in the west wing for the start of the new tv season? and if so - will the war still be his top prioroty or will the writers find something new and just as exciting for him to fight for ? stay tuned for the next 13 weeks and see !!
we'll be right back after this commercial
George Bush is just a man like any other man.There is not a perfect person on this small planet. Hell Aliens really run everything anyway.The only reason where fighting each other is because of religion. And religion as we all know and wont admit is a man made thing anyway.Its all about mind control and who the controller is going to be.Thats it in a nut shell, you dumb poor bastards.OOH Rah and Semper F***in FI.May the God who doesn't exist Bless you all. Dieing is the easy part. Living is the hard part. Living together is even harder. Do or Die!! Semper FI.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:39 pmGWBush is having orgies daily with the Saudi ambassador, Karl Rove, Dick cheney and a few sheep and cattle. Leave him alone.
A REAL MEMBER OF THE SOCIAL DEMOCARTIC PARTY
August 24th, 2005 at 10:40 pmYou know what I meant.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:42 pmIf being liberal means being opposed to NEEDLESS LOSS OF LIFE, civilian and military; supporting the troops & NOT DUMBYA, objecting to being
lied into war-for-profit,
COLOR ME LIBERAL!
p.s.: REAL CHRISTIANS DON'T CALL FOR ASSISINATIONS!
August 24th, 2005 at 10:42 pmCalling Pat Robertson a real christian is like calling Saddam Hussein a real national threat
August 24th, 2005 at 10:47 pmCan we get an AMEN there for KJ!!!!!!
August 24th, 2005 at 10:49 pmI am not very eloquent but to say the least if I held the position of President of the Unites States I probably would take a vacation every other week. Not a one of us knows what weighs on the mind of the President nor can we. He holds a position that I feel puts him in an untenable situation. I applaud President Bush. He had the guts to take a stand and is sticking with his decision.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:50 pmI pray every day for all of our troops and their safe return although I know that many families will be hurt by the ongoing committment to give the people of Iraq the freedom that we take as a given. I also thank my God my for freedom and to be able to say what ever I feel without having to worry about a knock on my door and being hauled off to jail/prison.
I also would like to see Osama Bin Laden captured or eliminated (even if that is not a very Christian attitude).
Former presidents have taken long vacations and done some pretty dispicable things while holding the highest office in our country. Rebublican or Democrat it doesn't matter.
Ms. Sheehan you should be gratful to live in our wonderful country and I am truly sorry for your loss. I have also lost loved ones in this conflict but they never waivered in their belief that they were doing what was necessary to keep our way of life safe.
May God keep us all safe from harm. Barbara
Funny thing, all the Liberals who are complaining the most must not be able to read or even work their remotes for the TV. I have been carefully watching this and have noticed an OBVIOUS trend. While on vacation, Bush has not missed a single day of meeting with high ranking officials, some American and some foreign. Every day, the news lists people who met with Bush and why.
August 24th, 2005 at 10:56 pmCan these liberals be so uneducated that they really don't consider this to be work if it is not done in the oval office?
Hmm, might explain a few of their other positions as well.
Almost reminds me of my ex-wife. She was only happy when she had something to complain about also. Kind of like if she twisted things to make someone else look bad then she felt it made her look better. She was WRONG also.
You are quite eloquent Barbara but Bush has no mind or brain, that would be Karl Rove
August 24th, 2005 at 10:56 pmSo glad that the president has a life to live, and can afford to. My husband is working a 50 hr. a week job, and doing side jobs on the weekends. I am working 45 hrs a week, we are not that young anymore, my husband is53 and I am 49. We are barely making ends meet and haven't had a vacation in 4 yrs. Why isn't anyone asking Bush about these obscene gas prices? Or is that not allowed? All we here about is the war, (which is just a awful quagmire) The middle class in this country is just about at thier wits end, we have our own little war going on here at home, its called how do I keep up with all these rising prices without working myself to death?! So, I hope he is having fun, he will probably have more vacation time than I will in the next 6 yrs!
August 24th, 2005 at 11:02 pmWhy do the neo-cons always resort to insults and name calling when others question their positions? Is it because Bush's pre-programmed talking points are beginning to sound as asinine to them as they do to most free-thinking individuals, so they feel compelled regress to childish jibes. Hey ItSa341, maybe you and your ex had more in common than you thought. By the way, if you resort to sticking your tounge out at me I'll have no choice but to say "No thanks, I use toilet paper."
August 24th, 2005 at 11:16 pmThis is the first time I have ever actually did something by writing. WAR is never an answer. I hear people saying that they support Bush and this war without really knowing "WHY", just joining a fight to be on a side. You have to think for yourself as to what is right and what is wrong. We as adults have to make this world a better place for our children by showing them that violence is not the answer. Why do we only accept what we are told or being led to believe. This is not about being liberal, it's about being human and having compassion when it's needed most. Don't just get on a bandwagon and beat a group of people up for a few who did something terrible. I am not against defending oneself, we should be an example and listen to what the truth. This is what happened to the Native Americans, many excuses were used for what was just plain murder. This is a sad time. We are sending our children to war for????????
August 24th, 2005 at 11:23 pmI would hope he would take a few "vacations" as you call them, to clear his head & be able to think more clearly when he does go back to the White House, so he can make any decisions he needs to make with a sharp clear mind. By the way, he never really gets to go on vacation, the war follows him where ever he goes. The decisions we as regular citizens must make can really wear us down at work or home. Can you imagine how burdensome the job of President could be. Stop ragging him & pray for him, our Country, & be united. Remember the words . . . United We Stand . . Devided We Fall.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:25 pmWho is Bush kidding...he has been on vacation since the day he was sworn in!
August 24th, 2005 at 11:31 pmBRAVO #122, Sammy.
Well said! Too bad most of these fools in this forum are too caught with the Hollywood losers to realize they too live in a fantasy world. Anybody that thinks President Bush is stupid or self serving are indicating their own ignorance. I suggest to all that feel that way try to do their own research about him without media or Hollywoods influence. Unfortunately it is obvious that the President Bush bashers aren't capable of thinking for themselves.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:34 pm"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Quoted in 1918, by REPUBLICAN President Theodore Roosevelt...
August 24th, 2005 at 11:34 pmIsn't it nice that our "war president" can take nice, long, comfortable vacations while the troops that he sent to Iraq, to fight in a war HE started, have their tours of duties there extended?
As for the president's comments today. He never tells us why he started the war in Iraq. Bin Ladin was not in Iraq. Al Quadea was not in Iraq. 15 of the 19 terrorist attackers on 9-11 were from Saudi Arabia, NONE were from Iraq. Why did our president make Iraq the center of the fight on terrorism?
August 24th, 2005 at 11:43 pmIt is very sad but we are as divided right at this moment as we were during the war between the states. I fear that it will only get worse
August 24th, 2005 at 11:45 pmGet over it people. He has the hardest job in the world and has to answer to all of you morons at the same time. It's not easy appeasing morons who can't think straight. He is probably doing more work on his vacation than we all do every day at our jobs. Get off your little soap boxes (aka - get your head out of your butt) and let him do his job. You can disagree with him but at least he isn't getting "head" in the oval office during normal working hours. Sit back relax and have a cigar.
Have a great day.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:46 pmI for one Ms Gywnn don't see what Hollywood has to do with this situation. I have a mind of my own and am not influenced by Hollywood of all places
August 24th, 2005 at 11:48 pmGetting his rocks off in the oval office was far less criminal than what his admin is doing!!!!!
August 24th, 2005 at 11:50 pmLB:
What do you call thinking straight? You must live your life never knowing anything for certain but "probably", and having cigars!!!
August 24th, 2005 at 11:53 pmIt's amazing how he can be so brave as to send our men and women to war when he had daddy get him into the Texas Air National Guard (daddy was a member of congress at the time). Daddy also protected his ass when he disobeyed a direct order to get a flight physical (which might have gotten him to Viet Nam. I served my country in the U.S. Navy. Didn't have to, wanted to. Never did I ever see or hear of anyone disobeying a direct order and not having to answer to his superiors for it.
August 24th, 2005 at 11:56 pmHis Chickenhawk Vice President was able to get five, count them, five college deferments so he could get out of serving his country in Nam.
These two are the John Wayne, drugstore cowboys who are so brave in sending other people's children to war. They are two chicken shit people who don't have the guts to do their part to secure this country from its enemies. Shame on this country for electing them not once, but twice.
I do not know much about politics but heres my thoughts on the Bush vacation thing: WHO CARES!!!! He's the President! like anyone of us or his staff is going to go to him and tell him no he can't go on vacation. Its like telling a kid they can't have a toy or something he wants or needs once in awhile. If we are going to treat him like a kid then I personally would like to see him throw the tantrums kids now a days throw when they dont get their way!
August 24th, 2005 at 11:59 pmThis is too perfect!
I was just thinking today what a selfish coward our "president" is. You see I look at this vacation like this. Sure he can go on vacation, because his life isnt on the line. I mean he can deny to meet the families of fallen soilders, and in the same breath say that this war is needed to protect our freedom. You see like many others I used to think like many that President Clinton was wrong for having an affair while in our highest of offices, but clinton never played with lives and if he did we knew all the facts. But with Bush in office, gas prices go up while oil execs still bring home a great paycheck, we lose jobs but Mr. Bush eats plenty on our dollar. Big deal, clinton had sex with another woman. Mr. Bush takes vacations and will get reports of fallen heros. He will then walk over to his paper shedder and destroy them. Bush plays with lives as if there is a reset button. I am ashamed to call him the president of the united states and look down upon those who voted him in again to screw us with our pants on for a second term. In a sense, we the people have no one to blame but ourselves for this war because we basicly voted for it. His daddy was power hungry and now he's doing everything he can to follow in daddy's footsteps. I dont understand how he can sleep at nite.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:04 amStraight thinking means that we as regular working class Americans, take 2-3 weeks off a year. Our jobs are nowhere near as demanding, stressful, important, multi-faceted, etc. as the Presidents. If we take time off he is allowed to take time "off" as they are calling it. Because the news does not tell us all of what he is doing I don't think you have any right to say that he is not working. You have no idea what meetings he has during the day or what he is doing. All the news is showing is him riding a bike.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:06 amClinton played with 3000 lives by ignoring the news coming out now that he knew about the Ata and the other terrorists before 9-11. Of course this isn't in the news because it would take focus off Bush. We, meaning Liberals, can't have that now can we.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:09 amLB if you throw enough lies out there, no way can anyone answer them all.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:16 amGeorge W. Bush deserves a vacation. Although, i doubt that you could really call it a vacation. Have you thought about the constant pressure he's under? Being the President is a very hard task and its even harder when there is a war going on. People need to really give him a break. I respect him. Maybe others should look past the vacation and the war. Do you honestly think you could have done a better job? Also, everyone must love him since he did indeed win the 04 election. Ironic isnt it? People have so many bad things to say about this man when most people voted for him. He is probably very stressed out and who can blame him? I think that George W. Bush is doing a very good job!
August 25th, 2005 at 12:19 amI don't even think Bush knows what "multi-faceted" means
August 25th, 2005 at 12:23 amMy point exactly Miss Dimitria. Keep displaying your brilliance. It is very entertaining.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:32 amIf there was this many haters making time to write their thoughts about how bad the President is doing and actually voted maybe he would not have been re-elected. But I think there is just some people that just like to complain.They would be sitting there probably complaining of John Kerry right now. And for 5 weeks vacation, isnt there anything else anyone can complain of besides his vacation time? There are jobs out there that offer that much vacation time. Just depends on how long you stay with them. I know big companies offer their employees that have worked with the company 3 weeks to a month vacation time. It is how hard you have worked and how long you have been there. With all the president has to deal with 5 weeks is a short cry from a vacation. And let alone when he does go on vacation he got people picketing outside where he is. Do we have to go through that when we go on vacation? When something big or stressful happens at our own jobs dont we all need a break? How stressful is that and you cant really call that a vacation at all. For all those people complaining of the time he is spending on vacation. I hope one day someone just stands there in front of you holding a sign screaming how wrong you are in the things you do while you are lounging around on your beach chairs. Well maybe bring your mother in laws with you on your vacation. That probably be damnn close.:)
August 25th, 2005 at 12:36 amI still want to know why you are associating Hollywood with people who are not happy with the pResident Gywnn
August 25th, 2005 at 12:36 amBush has not one redeeming presidential quality...from the election tampering in both elections, his administration trying to carry out the plans for the New American Century, his own vendetta against Saddam to avenge his daddy, his disregard of the repeated reports from the inspectors in Iraq that they were finding no evidence of WMD, saying that the Iraqi's hate us because of our freedom (a crock), asking the Congress for permission to declare war ONLY after all peaceful means were exhausted and they weren't, changing the goal of the war to suit the situation Bin Laden, no, Saddam, no, oh! democracy that's the ticket. Who the devil are we to be doing this? From the surplus (however they figure THAT, but okay) left by the Clinton administration to the most outrageous national debt ever, he has REALLY dumped on the citizens here. His uneducated, naive policies are creating an international disaster for us. This war is not about our freedom or even protecting our borders. So why weren't those planes intercepted on 9/11? We had enough time, you know and if you don't know, research it. Since the boys wanted to build up our military (refer to PNAC)having the 9/11 attacks was the perfect set up. So they have been feeding us fear, fear, fear, to justify this war. Impeach his sorry ass yesterday. And you Bushites, shame on you for not doing your homework.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:39 amThe president is working no matter if he is on vacation or not.He has the hardest job and I frankly feel sorry for the man,especially when his own country wont stand behind him.Its sad that the only people complaining about the war are the ones that arent even there,you have no idea what is going on there and for the people that are there its a slap in the face for you to put what they are doing down,They obviously believe in what they are doing,and that they are helping people or else they would not have joined the armed forces.I believe in what they are doing and the war because it was meant to happen,and I would have wanted that man out of power too,he tortured he people,be thankful for what you have here.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:43 amDo you boobs really think his vacation is like yours?
Do you think he shuts off his cell phone tells his boss he is on some remote island with no phones and decides to visit all the six flags parks in the USA?
The man is Always WORKING, he is never "OFF". Get on with your lives. Which from what I read pretty much starts at 4:30pm and your boss pays you till 5pm.
For the most part you whiny few have a lot of time on your hands to play monday morning quarterback & complain.
Doesn't matter if the President is in Washington, Texas or anywhere else. He can't jump on the next Jamaica Air flight and say "ain't my problem for the next few weeks". Any of you who think you could do better, start getting your signatures to get your name on the ballot.
Oh and this is to Michael Moore: You are an ass. You would make Hitler sound like a hero with your clever sound bites in a "documentary" supporting his "working class cause". Thank God that you were not around in Europe in the late 30's and early 40's cause not only would my grandfather and his brothers be dead, but I probably wouldn't be here to write this, then again who would be left?
August 25th, 2005 at 12:46 amIf John Kerry were President right now the people that were smart enough to vote for Bush wouldn't be wasting there time whining about it. Instead they would continue working hard trying to make life better for everyone and hope for a better election the next time. Unlike the lazy, brainless, monkey see monkey do people that voted for Edward Kerry. Anybody complaining about the Presidents vacation probably has never worked hard or long enough to earn a vacation so they can't comprehend it when someone else has.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:47 amP.S. 15 Saudis were hijacking the planes on 9/11. Why don't we bomb the Saudis (well, that's stupid, the Bushes are "in bed" with the Saudis and their money). So okay, don't attack a country, have our CIA et al conduct their own covert war on all the little terrorist factions which seem to be all over the place (especially now). Kinda like fighting fire with fire. Know what? I travel a lot. I was glad the shoe bomber didn't have a stick of dynamite up his a**. Can you imagine dropping your pants and spreading cheeks? That's the kind of knee jerk response we have to new situations.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:50 amIf President Bush feels he can accomplish more on his "vacation" then fine. Why not? Maybe, more ideas will come to him in Texas than the pressure of cutthroat Washington, D.C. The run of the country is not just at the White House. It is where the President is located.
We won't know exactly what he was working on til later on. How long? We will know once what he worked on becomes known.
And, how stupid does the Press think that we don't know what a "President's Vacation" is!!! He is still working!! He only does stuff to appease the Press.
Whatever he is working on, he will let us know later on. If he tells America everything at the start, whatever plans he has would not work. We must be patient and trust OUR President to give us his best shot. NOT What the PRESS determines his Best Shot is!!
All America needs to stand UNITED to confront the Heartless Terrorists. We have to stand together and be alert to hunt down these criminals!
If we stand UNITED and other countries stand UNITED with us, we can catch the terrorists whom have been using Islamic religion as a front for their criminal acts. They are going against their own religion! Killing is not condoned in a civilized culture. The Islamic people want what is best for their children. NOT to let some criminals kill their children by using them for their own personal vendettas.
Thank you for reading my thoughts on this subject.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:51 amDear Paul,
The founding fathers were the most liberal group the world had ever known. If we always went with social conservatisim we would still be a colony. We would still have segragation.
By the way, anyone, what is brush? Why does it need to be cut? Seriously, I trully have no idea what brush is.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:52 am9/11 never happened. Sadam is a really good human. Keep telling yourselves that.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:55 amHey Kwabba2, did you ever see Farhenheit 9/11? Those weren't fabrications and i have yet to meet a Bushite who was willing to see it. No lie. Michael Moore was a hero and was really trying to let the nation know what was up...unfortunately, the media didn't have any backbone to stand up to the truth and just parroted what the administration wanted said. He's on vacation because he is not part of the think tank in office. He's not capable.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:55 amI saw Farhenheit 9/11 and I have some items I'd like to sell anybody that fell for it.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:58 amGood night everybody. Unlike the majority of folks on this blog I have a job I have to be at in the morning. My 5 week vacation starts next week.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:59 amI have devoted my whole career to housing the homeless and low income people. It has been rewarding, it has been sad, I have laughed with people and cried with them. Lately, due to federal and state budget cuts I have mainly cried with these people. There is virtualy no Headstart Program for low income children any longer.( what happened to no child left behind)? I will tell youwhat happened, all the money went to fund the war in Iraq. Now correct me if I am wrong but the leader of a country does not deplete his own country of funds, jack up the gasoline prices so that it is now almost impossible to get to your job and to top it all off the funding for housing in my state for low income people is just about gone. I work through my vacations so I can buy gasoline.
August 25th, 2005 at 1:03 amp.s. I do support all of our military and want them back home
Aurora, you are making the assumption that Bush tells us the truth. That is not true. Nor are there other countries that want to unite with us. No one is hiding behind the Islam religion. The faction that hates us believe that the only way to atone for their own sin is to commit suicide. Maybe the Iraqi's didn't like us because the gas and chemical agents Saddam used against his own people were sold to him by us. There is a lot of evidence out there that is very damning of the present administration. Bush going on vacation was probably a good way to hide. He's a puppet for Cheney, who doesn't have a noble reputation himself.
August 25th, 2005 at 1:05 amSure Leslie, You really convinced me, no such thing as editing just enough sound bite or clip to make anyone sound like an ass.
By the way I did see Farscenheit, twice, though it was a great comedy. nothing else.
August 25th, 2005 at 1:07 amAfter all I've read on this Blahb, some of you should actually travel outside the USA. Most of you truly have your heads up your ass, liberal and otherwise.
I have seen & lived how shitty people live "life" outside of our country, 25 years ago till today. I recommend all of you haters use your frequent flyer miles to travel to some of these mid eastern & african fifedoms and express your views to those people
August 25th, 2005 at 1:22 amHOW DARE HE!! Mothers' babies DIE!! WHY?? Our children are there like "Standing Ducks" getting PICKED OFF every day.
August 25th, 2005 at 1:28 amOK, so? You didn't SEE this coming..as you SHOULD HAVE!! This should NEVER have happened!!
You are a pathetic PUPPET!!
OK, you've KILLED almost as many lives/families as they did on 9/11
Take care of our lost, hurting, unmedicated, poverty AMERICANS!!
STOP KILLING OUR STRONGEST AMERICANS!!
GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND FACE REALITY!!
YOU ARE KILLING !!!!!
GET BACK TO WORK!!
Mostly what I have read has been quite negative about our president and that saddens me, because I believe in this country and I believe in what our founding fathers were fighting for and gave us, and to me it is the Ameican SPIRIT and that is one of the things that makes us great. I once debated with someone about the war and they asked what if one of your chrildren were there fighting and was killed, and I thoutht for a second and my answer was "It is not about me or my son or daughter it is about this great country and if you don't see it that way than you need to leave", all I here is about self and not about the betterment of our fellow american. This is still the greatest country on earth, but I see it decaying before my eyes and that saddens me. GOD bless America and our Troops.
August 25th, 2005 at 2:35 amNero fiddled while Rome burned.
August 25th, 2005 at 2:50 amOur Founding Fathers weren't simply "liberal" --- no, they were RADICALS. Duh. They DESTROYED PROPERTY, not to mention took up arms against their own King George. They were REVOLUTIONARIES.
How stupid are these MORONS defending their Moron in Chief? They have no clue what "liberal" means, they just spew it mindlesslessly like the ciphers they are.
Meanwhile, 2/3s of the country now disapprove of the "job" Dumbya's doing.
Does that mean 2/3s of the country is "liberal?" Does it matter? I sat next to a vet today who told me what this war is being fought for. To enrich the fatcats in Dick Cheney's precious Haliburton.
Meanwhile, Haliburton is feeding our soldiers ROTTEN FOOD, which apparently is a-ok with the 1/3 die-hard MORONS in our nation.
Time for patriotic liberals to follow in the spirit of our country's forefathers and ramp up to radical/revolutionary level and kick the shit out of the elite and their most hopeless dupes.
August 25th, 2005 at 3:00 amBushes month vaction is a sign he has lost control of this nation. He is trying to regroup. He lost control of the war and of fuel prices. Other presidents would have called for a investication in the raise in oil prices.
Have you ever noticed that everytime this country has went to war a Republican was in office.
August 25th, 2005 at 5:50 amGo to hell and take your mothers with you. While you're at it, take your asses over to Iraq and send home the military service. I am sure your antigovernment beliefs will bode well in a land where the militants would appreciate you. Oh and as far as I am concerned your whole blog site should be shut down, because it insults me.
August 25th, 2005 at 7:47 amPresidents goes on vacation when the entire Congress is not in session. They are all on vacation too. Many are on junkets around the world. Seems like the right time to be away from Washington.
August 25th, 2005 at 7:52 am#181 that is not true. Truman/Korea, Kennedy & Johnson /Vietnam, Roosevelt / WWII, I don't know Woodrow Wilson's affiliation
August 25th, 2005 at 8:01 amMs. Summers, if you're such a patriotic chimp why don't you go to Iraq and take your mother with you. Show the Pres how much you really believe in his misguided handling of this war on terror.
August 25th, 2005 at 8:04 amIt is August and that means GWB/DC pols are trying very hard to vacation and enjoy the waning days of summer. The problem is however that there is a nasty war in Iraq with no end in sight, a president who doesn't have the first inkling how to conduct himself as a leader during a war, and growing insurgency in this country that is pissed at the whole mess Bush and the neo-cons have gotten us into. What to do when things start to melt politically? That's easy. Just attack, divert, and deny. It has always worked in the past, right?
The Rove playbook this time seems to not be working so well during this era of bad feeling. Conservative preachers are calling for political assassinations, patriotic Bush supporters are trampling the crosses of fallen soldiers, GOP senators are openly saying the "V" word in regard to Iraq, and no matter how the RNC spins this "working vacation" at the ranch, Americans can't seem to shake the depressing vision of Bush frolicking on his bike while our troops in Iraq still don't have enough armor, as deaths near the 2000 mark. On the domestic front, Americans are not enjoying the daily crude oil enema they get in the form of gas prices. Cindy Sheehan may not have the total moral authority that some claim she has, but she represents the tipping point in this misery that is called America under Bush. She has also sacrificed much more than most of us have in regard to the war on terror, including our clueless recreating president. Naturally, Swift Boat Mothers have now arisen from their residence in hell to attack her for making Bush look like the idiot he is. Rush, in an obviously drug related flashback, even said on the air that Cindy was the equivalent of CBS' report on Bush's National Guard story. Yea Rush, and her son is still alive, ASSHOLE. But the lowest point came when the president himself said he has to "go on with his life" in the face of Camp Casey protests.
Historians will have no choice but to declare this statement the most arrogant and out-of-touch uttering by any man in the White House entrusted to lead a war, ever. There isn't even a close second. This makes Hoover's Bonus Army insensitivity look charitable. At least he offered to pay their fares home so that they would leave D.C. Bush whizzes by the protestors on his way to a fat-cat fundraiser and acts like some sort of demented King. Nothing tugs his conscience. The same can be said of Bush enablers in their attack of Cindy Sheehan and others who question the wisdom of this war. But the most powerful force in politics, (please take note Mr. Rove and Mr. Cheney) is not spin, it is shame. When Americans come to the sad but inevitable truth that Bush & Co. would sacrifice young lives to protect their political prospects rather than admit culpability for Iraq, then there will be no place for these traitors of American trust to hide.
August 25th, 2005 at 8:33 amWhat???!!! The man isn't human and doesn't deserve a vacation ??!! Would his being in the White House have prevented any deaths in Iraq ? Nooooooo. Just another example of "Bush bashing" with half the "chosen" facts given.
August 25th, 2005 at 8:49 amGeez, bush just loves to lie, he really thinks some Americans are really stupid. He is just sickening.
August 25th, 2005 at 8:52 amHow is it that back in 1973 a Republican controlled House and Senate had the balls to go after Nixon for the cover up of a two-bit b&e (although Jerry Ford allowed him to weasel out by resigning), yet these spineless goose-stepping fascists that have the majority in Congress today won't impeach this idiot who for purely self-serving and blatantly false reasons has essentially committed mass murder! And then they have the gall to insult the American people with this hogwash that this little five week sojourn by this butcher isn't a vacation? We're rapidly approaching 2,000 dead young Americans for this war and an unthinkable number of dead innocent Iraqi civilians so that Halliburton and Bechtel and all the other war profiteers can continue to rape and pillage the economies of two countries! We average Americans may not all be rocket scientists, but these smug, arrogant chickenhawks who have no stake in this war(other than their bank balances) and are sacrificing nothing of their own personal fortune or sending their loved ones off to die for greed, graft and corruption based on nothing but lies act like we are all a bunch of unwashed, illiterate peasants who owe them our blind, unquestioning loyalty! Unless I missed something, these bastards work for us. If this bunch of co-conspirators to this war crime ever grow a spine and (Lord hear my prayer)seriously consider impeachment of this would-be emperor, he should not be allowed to slink away as Nixon did and should spend the rest of his life in prison. He and all the other neo-cons who orchestrated this should be sent to Gitmo to share the luxury, tropical accomodations we have given to so many detainees, some of whom are there simply because they had the misfortune of sharing the same religion (in name only) as the barbarians who attacked us on 9/11/01. I wonder if they'll be given flowers and greeted as liberators, hmmmm.....
August 25th, 2005 at 8:59 amJeez...I came to read some intelligent opinions. The only ones I've seen so far...and I admit I haven't read them all....are the ones from blue state red. It's scary to know there are so many air heads out there. Read your history, folks. The liberals...the extreme liberals...are our problem. Not President Bush. He's been a wonderful President doing as much as he can with what he has to work with. Yes...war is ugly...and people die in war...and families hurt when their loved ones are killed. But, where would we be if all the past presidents "never" sacrificed members of the military?! Would Hitler have conquered the world? Get my point? Nah...even if you liberals did, you wouldn't dare admit it. I feel sorry for you. You are bringing our country down and slowly but surely destroying it, and all the while proclaiming what you do and say is "best". You don't know anything.
August 25th, 2005 at 9:11 amAnd...the President can certainly work from his ranch as well as the White House. With all the pressure he faces each day, I'd much rather know he take a break and come back rested, refreshed and ready to go. He has the most stressful job in the U.S., and he isn't entitled to some R & R ?? C'mon people...CEO's and other upper management people take a month and nobody says anything, and their companies get along just fine.
I believe it's just another underhanded attempt to take a shot at Bush. You aren't winning in that area.
"Its a very European thing to take the month of August"
Yes, it is especially FRENCH!
August 25th, 2005 at 9:39 amYou moronic libs need to read the paper. Bush signed two bills and has traveled to give speeches as well as meeting with fallen soldier's parents during his so-called vacation. Perhaps he should receive head in the Oval office inorder to gain your support.
August 25th, 2005 at 9:45 amTHERE WAS NEVER A DECLARATION OF WAR MADE BY CONGRESS SINCE PEARL HARBOR. THIS IS A CONFLICT! A CONFLICT THAT BEGAN FROM LIES AND GREED. DUMBYA HAS BEEN ON VACATION ALL HIS LIFE. WHEN ASKED A QUESTION GIVES NO ANSWER OR GIVES THAT ARROGANT SMILE AND BLANK STARE AND REPEATS THE SAME WORDS HE HAS BEEN SPEWING SINCE DAY ONE. DO ANY OF YOU KNOW THAT THE VETERANS ADMINISRATION CANNOT TAKE CARE OF ALL THE VETS COMING HOME FROM IRAQ AND AFGANISTAN BECAUSE CONGRESS HAS CUT ITS FUNDING. THEY CANNOT HIRE DOCTORS AND NURSES DUE TO A HIRING FREEZE. ALL THE PROBLEMS OUR VETS ARE HAVING IS DUE TO A NO PLAN WHEN WE INVADED IRAQ. I AM QUITE SURE THAT OSAMA IS GETTING THE MEDICAL CARE HE NEEDS WITH TAXPAYERS MONEY FROM TAXES WE PAY AND PRICES AT THE PUMP. OUR VETS ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES, THEIR LIVES AND FAMILIES BECAUSE OF A ADMINISTRATION THAT COULD CARE LESS. REMEMBER ALL THE PROBLEMS THIS COUNTRY HAS WHEN YOU GO TO THE POLLS IN 2006 AND 2008.
August 25th, 2005 at 9:51 amThe next thing you know he'll deny he even takes as shit. Can't these people admit anything?
August 25th, 2005 at 9:51 amYou people are idiots with way too much time on your hands. You all take vacations...most of you do not stay in touch with your work while you are out. The President whether Democrat or Republican does not get a true vacation for the length of time they are in office. Have you noticed how quickly the office holder turns gray? Doesn't that tell you something about the pressures? You idiots need to get a life, there are more important things for you to do. God didn't put you on this earth for you to complain how much vacation time the President gets. This is not thinking progress, this is stupidity!
August 25th, 2005 at 10:00 amI have one question for the Republicans here:
Did you ever criticize Carter or Clinton? How about LBJ, for you old fogies like me?
Oh, but NOW we mustn't criticize the sacred PRESIDENT, because that wouldn't be patriotic!
Yeah, YOU can KM Blue State A, you morons. You greed-heads. You cowards. You ignorant fools. You thugs. You twisted minds.
You probably believe Bush is READING those books his P.R. flaks said he has. Good God!
He's a sick psychopath who loves death. And rest assured, he wouldn't bat an eyelash over yours or your mother's.
August 25th, 2005 at 10:08 amOh come on guys...Bush works 24/7....24 mins a week and 7 months a year..
August 25th, 2005 at 10:18 amwhat a bunch of dim witted brain dead idiots who think dubya is fit to be president . They can't be much older then my great grandson.who is 3 years old.years ,I talked 2 grandsons out of joining the military and thankfully they are still alive.Now if only we had decent jobs for the returning soldiers and gas wasn't $2.69 a gallon. Gives one plenty of time to stay home and watch the real tv-FSTV and watch s-spann and not the whimpey networks.
August 25th, 2005 at 10:44 am"Would Hitler have conquered the world? Get my point?"
Georgia Republican is right. We will never conguer the world if we do not persevere in Iraq.
I feel so dumb. I will disabow my liberal affiliations immediately and join the W fan club.

August 25th, 2005 at 11:03 amStevensville, MD
Once again the republinazis resort to name calling and empty talking points to make their case. Obviously it's because they can't base their positions on logic, history or common sense. AND STOP COMPARING OUR ROLE IN IRAQ TO OUR ROLE IN WWII!!! Remember, we invaded Iraq based on lies and half-truths, similar to Germany invading Poland, and Japan invading Manchuria and China. The Iraq war is wrong, immoral and illegal. I will NOT blindly follow a president that leads us down such a path. As far as soldiers voluntarily join the military so they should be prepared to die wherever the commander and chiefs sends them...HORSE PUCKY!! These soldiers are prepared to die for this nation and it's ideals but they expect their leaders to be wise enough to know the difference between "Protecting the Nation" and dying to fatten the wallets of Pioneers and Rangers.
August 25th, 2005 at 11:05 amBy the way, I shouldn't have used "republinazis" in my last post. Calling someone names while I'm bitching about namecalling is wrong. I was wrong and will not do it again.
August 25th, 2005 at 11:12 am"You moronic libs need to read the paper. Bush signed two bills and has traveled to give speeches"
Yawn ----- your tired attempt to defend laziness bores me. Can you come up with something more "peppy"?
With a workload like that, (signing his own checks) he would not get it all done in less than ten minutes!!!!
“God didn’t put you on this earth for you to complain how much vacation time the President getsâ€
Oh, that’s right; God put us here to work 80 HOUR WEEKS so the affluent and powerful can get a good rest!
However, I feel sorry for you all, a two-bit con artist (Bush) has duped you and I cannot hold your own stupidity against you, only God can ---- your just lemmings anyway.
August 25th, 2005 at 11:38 amTrue, he's got a life to live now only if he had a brain to use!
August 25th, 2005 at 11:41 amRepublican Excuses
Is it just me, or are the excuses Republicans are making getting stupider? Let’s look at what’s happened just this week.
August 25th, 2005 at 11:41 amMonday WMAL radio talk show host Michael Graham was fired after refusing to apologize for “Islam is a terrorist org...
#201 and all the rest, the republiTHUGS posting here are doing what all REPUGnicans do, get you OFF TOPIC so you won't discuss the issues...
it is so ROVIAN!
August 25th, 2005 at 12:06 pmTo Georgia Republican:
The fact that you can even try to compare the invasion of Iraq to WWII is ludicrous. You may want to check your "history" and see who were the isolationists prior to WWII. FDR and his "liberal" friends prepared this country for war unlike the conservatives in Congress at the time. In fact these "liberals" also provided a few social programs that many Americans today are thankful for. I think you are the one who doesn't know anything and you may want to brush up on your history.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:22 pmI wonder if the troops who died over in Iraq had lives to live too?
August 25th, 2005 at 12:28 pmOur brave and devout President deserves his vacation. Besides he can run our great country from anywhere.
I am appalled by some of the comments posted here.
Do you people really believe that we would be better off in we had listened to those dirty veto threatening French and left Saddam in place?
August 25th, 2005 at 12:39 pmNothing we type in these long blogs seems to matter to anyone. It makes us feel better by letting off steam, but SOMEBODY needs to really DO something to get him impeached, or at least ride his bike off into the sunset. I never dreamed we, the people could feel so helpless, angry, and rung out. This county's in a mess people. I guess money really does rule.
August 25th, 2005 at 12:47 pm"Well come on, why should I waste my beautiful mind thinking about all this messy war and junk...its so like a total buzzkill after my ride."
August 25th, 2005 at 12:48 pmCheck your history. Roosevelt vactioned durring WW2, and you liberal ninnies think he is a god. I think a few more of our brave young soldier died in that war.
August 25th, 2005 at 1:05 pmI find it interesting that if you dig straight down from the pRESIDENT'S pig farm you will not end up in China, you will end up in Iraq.
(it is not a ranch as no livestock is raised there and it was a 1600 acre PIG FARM- I guess it still is)
Besides as long as Dumbya is "on vacation" he can't screw up too much more. I say keep the chimp on the pig farm.
August 25th, 2005 at 1:05 pm#211 Check your grammar
August 25th, 2005 at 1:06 pm#211 your post tells me you think Hitler needed to finish the job?
BTW, are you a PRODUCT of the no billionaire left behind?
August 25th, 2005 at 1:07 pmI'm convinced you don't know what any post tells you. Sorry for the grammer (but it was spelling errors). Bored by all the lib comments that don't even address the original point.
August 25th, 2005 at 1:17 pmUnbelievable posts.....
Miss Gwenn....how far up your a** is your head????
Christine Summers Post #182....it took you 181 post to be disgusted???? Try joining the military and seeing the action up close and personal...and not just what the media is "allowed" to feed you!
Georgia Republican.....is there any reason why we thought you would think anyone other than another "bleeting neocon sheep" would have a valid point or opinion.
Isn't it great folks....a**holes are just like opinions....we all have em
August 25th, 2005 at 1:21 pm"...it is hard to see how any President, given the constitutional limitations of the office, could have done more to precipitate the United States into war with Germany and Japan than Roosevelt accomplished during the 15 months between the destroyer-for-bases deal and the attack on Pearl Harbor. Former Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce found the right expression when she charged Roosevelt with having lied us into war..."
Crazy is as crazy does ... conservative or liberal. Keep on posting your juvinile rants. You make me laugh.
August 25th, 2005 at 1:43 pmWe always react to this kind of story (and there have been so freakin' many of them) by saying, "Who would be stupid enough to believe this cockamamie rewriting of reality?" Then the MSM lines up to do just that. Dollars to donuts that most MSM talking heads and press pundits quit talking about Bush being on vacation and begin talking about him "working out of the Crawford ranch location."
August 25th, 2005 at 1:59 pmAt least Roosevelt was wise enough to declare war on the nation that attacked us.
August 25th, 2005 at 2:02 pm#217 My point in the FDR comment was that he understood that we would need to deal with Hitler and as you say, did everything that he could to support Britain short of war. In this case, it was the liberal that was "strong on defense" and not the conservatives.
#215 The point isn't that Bush shouldn't get a vacation. You don't really think that he's actually running the country? The point is really a matter of perception. He is asking our military to make the ultimate sacrifice while he goes on with his normal routine. He could set an example by cutting his vacation short and possibly having some fake town meetings to see how his adoring subjects are doing.
August 25th, 2005 at 2:04 pm#219 Yes Germany in their supprise attack. Wait that was Japan ... But FDR was for war in Europe and a holding action in the pacific? I'm confused. Anyway they both were defeated and no thanks to the conservative panisies who did not want to go to war.
#220 "President Bush has faced intense criticism for his insensitivity in taking a leisurely, 5-week vacation while the country is locked in an increasingly violent war in Iraq." I must have missread this.
August 25th, 2005 at 2:16 pmOh my god, the 37% of you who STILL BLINDLY support this political puppetry called the bush regime are just not paying attention! You keep drinking the kool-aid and are so easily brainwashed with his catchy little phrases, "stay the course"....What FOOLS you are!
August 25th, 2005 at 3:21 pmPlease start paying attention and QUESTION the actions of your current administration! They have mishandled EVERYTHING and THIS IS ABOUT CORPORATE GREED AND OIL!! Bush is too stupid to work whether on vacation or otherwise. His only ability is to memorize the crap Cheney and Rove tell him to spew on the airwaves.
He won't answer the tough questions or listen to the people. This man is a DICTATOR puppet!
Unbelievable that you people vote against your own interests. NO CHILD LEFT A DIME!! We'll be paying for this for generations to come.
BUSH is destroying our reputation, economy, environment, and safety!~
#222 Again I must commend you libs on your humor. While seriously ranting about brain washing you spew the soap bubbles of Ferinheit 911.
August 25th, 2005 at 3:28 pmI support those who take the sand no war for any reason, but I can not stomach those who say we could do it better. What war was ever right, moral and legal? What war was ever managed correctly? You manage a business you prosecute a war.
August 25th, 2005 at 3:55 pmmission accomplished...
bring it on...
i've got a life to live...
think people, think!
August 25th, 2005 at 3:55 pmOur declaration of war on Japan after Pearl Harbor was right, moral, and legal.
Our action against the Taliban following 9/11 was right, moral and legal.
The UN's actions to protect South Korea from the North Korean invasion was right, moral, and legal.
The UN's actions to chase Iraq from Kuwait was right, moral, and legal.
Our decision to wage war in Vietnam was wrong, immoral, and illegal.
Our decision to invade Iraq was wrong, immoral, and illegal.
I'll write this in small words so you understand... If someone attacks you for no or poor reasons you get to attack back. If you attack someone for no or poor reasons it's wrong.
August 25th, 2005 at 4:14 pm[...] Topics Covered with related links: Army recruitment exceeds all goals Bush’s Idaho speech and Cindy Sheehan President Bush’s critics once again bash his “working vacation” [...]
August 25th, 2005 at 5:14 pmKoolaid good.
Critical thinking bad.
I love how the NeoNutballs like to say " We won the election so get over it" except that they didn't. The election was rigged and it has been repeatedly statistically proven for both 2000 and '04. Those wonderful paperless/auditless Diebold ( and other)voting machines did just what they were supposed to.
Then some holier than thou former military guy sez "Love it or leave it" you commie so n so's...yeah, that's the answer, have all the resonable and intelligent people move out so you can be a macho tough guy and shit all over the redstate dumb asses.
Confrontation or cooperation?
The choice was ours to make until chimpy was told to jump by the real president Darth Cheney.
The Vacationing President (I like the sound of that. Perhaps we should use it all the time...) sez we have to stay and fight because of all the people who have stayed and fought...now there's some serious neoconning in action..more circular logic - basically their mantra is " The ends justifies the means" and their actions simply prove this point. 1800+ dead americans, no WMD, no Al Qaeda, uh no Usama, uh..er...ummm...
The facts speak for themselves. The republican neocons are neither Republican or Conservative.
They are making money hand over fist right now at our dead and injured soldier's expense.
Let's see... the largest deficite run up in our history.
How many Republicans have been indicted on criminal activities during this administration? How many people had to recuse themselves from RoveGate because their hand was in that cookie jar? Who chooses to sneak partisan legislation through in the middle of a friday night when no one is paying attention? Bait and switch wars... its Afganistan, no wait it's WMD's, no wait it's Iraq, no wait it's because we have all those soldiers and guardsmen dying over there...
The real reason is that the republican neoconmen are simply power hungry, chickenhawk doughboys, (c'mon, look at Rove that fat lying closeted slob)who are owned by Big American Business a.k.a "The Corporatocracy".
Bush does not have the IQ to do more than listen to his earpeice and regurgitate Karl's talking points dujour.
You red staters have shot yourself in the ass. When you stop and look around your situation is no different than any other,except you will feel the bite sooner. By then Cheney will have us all busy protecting the U.S.A. preemptively from Iran.
To the 30% of you who beleive the NeoCon propaganda in the USA: You will one day have to lie in the bed have you made and I'm sure it will be all Bill Clinton's fault.
August 25th, 2005 at 5:22 pmPerhaps again it wasn't the reason it initially was for, but tell the people of Irag that the war to get rid of Saddam was wrong, immoral and illegal. Also, tell them that we are there only for oil, not to help educate, build infrastructure, train troops/policemen. Also tell the hundreds that try to sign up to be a troop/policeman, while risking the chance of death, that here in America, we think they should've simply stayed under Saddam and quit whinning about it. Maybe I am ignorant, but how does Bush cause the gas prices to increase? Isn't it Wall Street pushing up the cost of oil? Has there been a serious decrease since Clinton? I do not think so. I believe that the cost of oil is always based on what may happen if the oil decreases. Since there is a war in Irag, changes in Saudi Arabia and conflict between Israel and Palestine. Please people, support the country and remember how you felt that September day. Its days like this that I wish they would show the footage from that day. I don't want to offend anyone, and I'm not trying to blame, but let's win this thing.
August 25th, 2005 at 6:51 pmAsk the people of Iraq yourself if they're better off! They will tell you they were BETTER OFF UNDER SADDAM! With the mess bush, rummy, and cheney have made over there, these people live in constant fear, limited basic needs, no protection, hunger, etc.
August 25th, 2005 at 8:00 pmour military is suffering. They get seriously injured and are sent back to the front lines within weeks. They are called to serve year after year or they threaten they will take away their bonuses and honors! This government has NO RESPECT for our troops, the people of Iraq or american citizens. It's all about corporate greed and Halliburton.
No one would even CONSIDER profitting off of war in WW2!!! It's NOT PATRIOTIC TO PROFIT OFF OF WAR! And this war was designed for exactly that: PROFIT! And not for you and me, but for big mighty corporations.
Chew it up, swallow it, or spit it out. But THINK ABOUT IT!!!!
If you support this war, PLEASE PLEASE GO TO IRAQ, sign up your sons, daughters, nephews, etc.....and let THEM GO DIE FOR OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and for all of you who keep bringing up 911. WE WILL NOT FORGET. But your president sure has! He does not care where Osama is. Bush is in bed with Saudi Royalty...the very people responsible for 911!!!!!
August 25th, 2005 at 8:02 pmIraq had nothing nothing NOTHING to do with 911.
god, figure it out already!!!!!
Do you really think that the people of Irag were better off under Saddam? Now isn't that just the dumbest thing someone has ever said. I guess the Jews were better off under Hitler after we invaded Germany. Also, how long were we in Germany after the war was over? I think that we are still there and its been 60 years. I think that it is sad that people can not think for themselves. You are so mad that Bush won by a clear majority the second time. Its sad. Do you really think Bush has forgotten about Bin Laden? Do you think that our government is so stupid that it can only concentrate on a single objective? Please. Go ahead and spit your hatred for Bush, call him stupid. Do everything that your constitution allows you to do, but remember what you are doing. You are basically saying that it is ok for you to question your leaders, but that the Iraqi people were better off when they were killed for questioning their dictator.
August 25th, 2005 at 9:08 pm#231 I agree.
But these nutjobs (without spell check or grammer concepts) will never open their eyes, much less minds. I have come to the conclusion that they are so dumb they don't even know when they are beat. I mean for them to say something as stupid and incorrect as dumbya won the election. The only ones they fool is each other.
Let them STAY STUPID.
August 25th, 2005 at 9:10 pm...(FOR # 233)... Do I think the people or Iraq were better off with Saddam? No. Maybe in 100 years or so it might be better for them, BUT do you think that if our President went to congress and said "I need you to vote on my proposal for war simply because the people will be better off" that they would have bought it? The fucking spin that this administration puts upon it's weekly changing justifications is something that a third grader could read into. AND comparing Hitler to Saddam and the Iraqi government to the Nazi party shows your intelligence. Have you by chance ever picked up a history book you obvious candidate for jack ass of the century?
August 25th, 2005 at 9:29 pmYoooHoo!
GW did not win either election. both were fixed or fabricated for him. It has been proven statistically impossible for the voting result and exit poll irregularities we witnessed in'04 and of cousre we had ourSupreme court select the president the first go around.
I'm amazed that someone could suggest with a straight face that having rel,iable and safe electricity, reliable and safe drinking water, educated and unmasked women walking around day or night safely under Saddam was very bad. He must have been, especially after Osama, his Arab buddies and the terrorist purported to reside in Afganistan attacked. We sure fixed that up didn't we?.
If we were more interested in the social condition of the Iraqi's why did we secure their oil fields immediately while knowingly let their hospitals, national archives and national treasures get looted.
We had enough "boots on the ground" din't we?
Uh, I know it's hard to remember the facts after all the bushit but wasn't it Afganistan not Iraq?
Oh wait, that's right... we are placing all these american soldiers in harm's way because(according to the 101st chickenhawk keyboard brigade) it was Osama from Iraq who was buddies with Saddam that actually convinced all those Saudi's to create such a brilliant attack plan and attack the US.
What horseshit!
All you jackboot Nazi brained couch warriors just keep drinking that koolaid...try turning off your television for one whole day (get off that Faux News NeoCon high for a couple of hours if you can) and maybe, just maybe you'll have yourself a genuine independant thought.
August 25th, 2005 at 9:54 pmBush needs a vacation..he works 24/7.....................24 mins a week and 7 months a year...........
August 25th, 2005 at 9:58 pmI think you're going to steal my rollerskates, so I label you a sodomite and a child molester and punch you in the nose then I take your lunch, your wallet and leave a big steaming shit in your living room, right after I shut off your water and electricity.
I claim to have more knowledge than you or anyone you might know regarding how to run your house and I then give you FIFTY AMERICAN DOLLARS.
Becuase I have the big stick and your nose is already broken and hurting and you really need the money to buy drinking water and bread for your family, you simply lay down and offer no resistance.
As I leave you the evil pervert with the broken nose and your evil wife and your evil children,I notice you have a very valuable statue of some famed ancient leader in your living room. I shoot your evil wife and I take it. I load it into the back of my truck and drive off.
I sell that valuable statue to my fellow american friend who has a large company let's call it Iraqishurting Inc. that sells stolen statues in Iraq. I make millions in cold hard cash. My friend also makes millions in cold hard cash from this transaction. This process works so well for creating riches out of thin air that I repeat
the process over and over until the good statues are hard to find. No worry though there are lot's of natural resources to take profit from.
My Statue selling american friend has other corporate friends who want some of this action! We invite them over to feast with us and enjoy the rightous bounty for a while.
I just don't understand why you people won't like me. I'm doing this for your own good. I know what's better and I know what's right.
August 25th, 2005 at 10:13 pm234,
I am confused by your statements. Are you actually saying that women were safe in Saddam's Iraq? That the raping of women was ok? The electricity in Iraq now is twice what it was under Saddam. Also, if a terrorist wanted to derail the fruition of Iraq, what better way to do that then by delaying its best assest....the export of oil. Thats why we secured them as fast as we could. I was trying to understand your thinking, but I just cannot. I am still confused by your statement that people were better off under Saddam. Using your logic, I will state again...The Jews were better off under Hitler than the Atlas of Power in WWII. If you cannot grasp that Saddam was similar to Hitler, then you should read more about their tactics. Killing their own citizens. Murdering opposition. Torture. Yeah, the Iraqis must have been better off. I was so wrong. I would much rather live every day worried that the government might kill me.

August 25th, 2005 at 10:17 pmWho said this:
...the community of nations may see more and more the very kind of threat Iraq poses now -- a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction ready to use them or provide them to terrorists, drug traffickers or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed.
If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity, even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program."

August 25th, 2005 at 10:51 pm"The Taliban blew up the statues during Bill Clinton’s term. Bin Laden planned the attacks during Clinton’s time." --Sammy, post 102
Typical Bushbot. Can't get his facts straight...
May 02, 2001 - Buddha Statues Completely Destroyed by Taliban
In a display of extreme prejudice against the Hazara people the Taliban have destroyed two of the world's tallest ancient statues of Buddha in Bamyan, Afghanistan. Bamyan is the center and heart of Hazarajat region inhabited by the Hazara people since the 11th century and maybe earlier
The Taliban leaders issued a religious edict deeming the two of the World's tallest Buddha Statues, which are carved into a mountain, as non-Islamic and ordered their destruction. The Taliban are supported by their masters - the Pakistan army and Saudi Royal family.
Islamic scholars all over the world have condemned this decision and act of barbarism. The 2000 year old Buddha Statues were believed to have been carved during the time of the Kushan dynasty which are believed to be the ancestors of the Hazara tribe that inhabits Bamyan, the heart of Hazarajat region.
August 26th, 2005 at 7:21 amIt seems to me that the majority of people that don’t like what Bush is doing are just envious of his success. Instead of crying about what you don’t have why not try to better yourself. You people just seem to want something for nothing. You have to work for what you want so get off your asses and get started. Stop trying to blame Bush for your failures. As to this war, well I have yet to here a suggestion worth listening to about how to complete what we started in a better way than we are currently pursuing. We can not just pull out and leave. We have not lost a large number of troops considering what we have accomplished anyway. Most of the anti war crap is just that crap. You people just don’t like Bush and can not stand the fact that you keep loosing elections to people you don’t agree with so you are looking for another way to turn the public against him.
August 26th, 2005 at 10:54 amI for one think it is refreshing to have a president who admits to been refreshed by a change of scenery once in awhile. What a contrast vs. his predecessor who was so insecure that he needed to convene focus groups in order to find a vacation spot that would 'play' well with key swing voters.
August 26th, 2005 at 11:36 amLooking upon these posts I see a nation completely divided. The Northerners are once again launching a war of aggression against the good and rightous people of the south.
War has always been good for America! Why can't you people see this truth.It has made America great in th eeyes of th eworld. War has repeatedly pulled us out of debt, unified public opinion and solidified the Christian Warrior mentality in America.
Bring it on!
We are prepared to take on the world! We have enough young men and women available to defend our right to freedom however we choose to define freedom.
It's our freedoms they hate after all - we must defend freedom with full military committment and as many boots on the ground as we can muster for as long as it takes.
If it takes 20 years or more to kill every terrorist Iraqi or Iranian, it is our duty to GOD and country. We have the might, the human resources and the moral leadership to steward us into a postition of total global resource control in the next millenia.
GOD bless our moral and rightous conservative Republican leadership.
As Americans this is our right and moral duty as espoused by the Monroe doctrine and our religious and political leaders.
Our President talks with GOD regularly and he has received a clear vision from GOD, instructions for the world to which we will all bear witness.
Who are we to question GOD's will?
To those of you who disagree with and are calling our GOD fearing president unholy: You will burn in eternal hellfire and damnation for denying Gearge W. Bush and therefore GOD's will.
Our Republican leaders are moral and rightous men:
Donald Rumsfeld is a great and moral man who is keeping our young men and women in the military safe.
He clearly has a plan in accordance with the vision given to Gearg W.Bush by the one true GOD.
Tom Delay is a great and moral man protecting innocent victims like Terry Schiavo from activist judges..
Rick Santorum is a great and wonderful man who understands that sharing the great bounty provided to all good and moral Christians by GOD. Rick Santorum understands morality and the evil ways of the Sodomite.
We will continue to help accelerate the time of the second coming of Christ our Lord and Savior in order to cleanse this world of all GODLESS HEATHENs.
Follow George as he follows GOD's instructions for bringing about the end of days.
We are respected throughout the world because of our clear and obvious rightousness and our superior moral and military might.
It is our duty as Christians to bring Jesus back to earth. We are rightous, we are holy, we are soldiers of the one true GOD.
GOD bless our moral and rightous conservative Republican leadership.
The rest of you can go to hell.
Father Jim - GOD's Warrior
August 26th, 2005 at 3:50 pmGood GOD!!
Pun intended.
Hey Father Jim, where do Jewish Americans fit into this? What about atheist Americans? What about sane Americans?
It's like the 3rd grade playground with you, my God can beat up your God.
August 26th, 2005 at 4:13 pmFather Jim, the fact that you attempt to pimp Jesus Christ and Pervert his word and message to ALL of us is beyond blasphemy. God have mercy on you and the rest of the small minded Republican Leadership that twist and manipulate the Lord's plan for you own selfish, bigoted agenda.
Shame on you!
August 26th, 2005 at 5:02 pmSince when have cheaters and liars been righteous? If bush has shown any consistency it’s that his whole life he has cheated and lied to get what he wants. Why do you think he and rove get along so well!!
August 26th, 2005 at 5:11 pm240,
My mistake, I thought that it had happeded earlier. Sorry about that. Again it was a travesty that Bush did nothing then.
August 26th, 2005 at 5:53 pmPay attention, people.
We were lied and misled into an illegal, preemptive, and pre-planned war that had nothing to do with 9/11 and that has so far cost half a trillion dollars and the lives and limbs of 15,000+ American soldiers, not to mention tens of thousands of lives of innocent Iraqi civilians;
we have record budget and trade deficits that are sending U.S. currency into a tailspin;
we have a president who has the worst job-creation record since Herbert Hoover;
we have the first president in history to cut taxes during a time of war, turning the biggest surplus in history into the biggest deficit in history and benefiting only the wealthiest Americans;
We have a president who now has a lower approval rating than Richard Nixon did during Watergate;
we have a president and vice-president who, for 18 months after 9/11, refused to investigate the worst attacks in history on American soil, and who later refused to testify under oath before the 9/11 commission;
we are facing astronomical prices at the gas pump while the world's oil supply is being depleted, but we have a new energy bill that does nothing -- zero -- to reduce our dependence on foreign oil;
we have soaring health insurance costs, but are facing cuts in Medicaid for the elderly impoverished;
we have an administration that in the spring and summer of 2001 ignored CIA and FBI warnings about an imminent terrorist attack on American soil, then later lied about it;
we have an administration that ignored warnings by the previous administration that finding and dealing with AlQaeda needed to be at the top of its list of priorities;
we have an administration that is closing military bases and reducing the number of active military aircraft, even though we are at the greatest risk ever of being attacked again;
we have done nothing since 9/11 to increase protection of our food supply, water supply, nuclear facilities, broadcasting facilities, or ports;
we have an administration that has waged war on the environment, reducing or eliminating years and years of environmental protection standards in virtually every area, from water quality to the ozone layer to forests to global warming;
we have an administration that uses scare tactics and misleading figures to gain support for its plans, such as one to dismantle the social security system as we know it and replace it with an $800 million plan that has more risk for wage earners, but benefits Wall Street;
we have a president who appointed a man who epitomizes multilateralism to run the World Bank (Paul Wolfowitz) -- the man who predicted that Iraqi reconstruction from the war would pay for itself with iraqi oil revenues;
we have an admistration that touts support for our troops while at the same time cutting benefits for veterans.
Must I go on? I could! Please. Every single one of the above listed items can be checked out and verified. Any single one of them is worth rallying against.
August 28th, 2005 at 2:19 pmIf it was such a priority for Clinton's administration to find Al Qaeda, then why didn't they do it when they had the chance?
August 29th, 2005 at 8:53 pm234,
I am a candidate for the jack ass of the century? How dare you! You are saying that Hussein and Hitler were nothing alike?
1. Gassing their own people.
2. Rape/murder of innocent civilians
3. Attempt/Take over of other countries
4. Imprisonment of political dissidents
5. Torture of said dissidents
6. Trying to harness nuclear weapons
Should I go on? Perhaps you should study history yourself before you start name calling. There has not been a single president that has done what everyone wants him to do, but at least this president has done what he said he would do. Again I find it funny that people against the war say we are there under false pretenses. Who cares? We are there helping others. Isn't that what we were told to do as children. Help those who are not as fortunate as yourselves? Liberals are all for programs in this country for those less fortunate, but when we try to help those outside our country......To hell with that!
August 29th, 2005 at 9:03 pmI reiterate: Nero fiddled while Rome burned. (But then Nero called CNN, Fox News, etc., and proposed a photo op with the flames of Rome behind him.)
September 2nd, 2005 at 1:50 pmI am so sick of the LEFT wing stupid, stupid people who read this crap and thinks it's all ture..I got something for you all, it's not. If we had a demo in for the President we would be in bad shape. And the whole vac thing give me a break.. These ads are B. S. they count anytime he leaves the White House a vaca day, come on.. Grow up people and get your facts right before you make yourself look stupid..

September 9th, 2005 at 4:02 pmFrom post 251 - "Again I find it funny that people against the war say we are there under false pretenses. Who cares?"
Did this guy really just say that?!! Our government lies to us about going to war...2,000 US citizens dead, countless more maimed and traumatized, but "who cares" that our government lied just to get us into a war?
Geez, I guess that pretty well defines the duhbya voters.
