While deposing a dictator on false grounds in Iraq a true threat has been ignored.

Let's hope the intelligence analysts are wrong.

"Some American intelligence analysts are becoming increasingly concerned that North Korea may have three, four or even six nuclear weapons instead of the one or two the CIA now estimates."

U.S. trying to determine number of N. Korea nukes

Maybe that's the Bush administration's out. He said nukular weapons, not nuclear weapons!

What the hell is a nukular weapon anyway?

Right, while we were in Iraq, we could have invaded North Korea? Did you skip your anti-psychotic medications this morning?

The US has know for a while that N.Korea broke the deal reguarding Nukes and this is just one of many reasons why we went to war with Iraq. We didn't want to be in the same situation with Iraq like we are now with N. Korea years up the road. Ya I know we had him contained but how long is that suppose to last...Saddam and or his sons would eventually have gotten tired of being boxed in and the minute they got there hand on a nuke,the threats would start. He's been shooting at the coalition aircraft patroling the no-fly zones for years now so you know he was getting restless.

Going to war with Iraq was the right decision in my opinion.

BOBDN is merely projecting his afflictions onto the Bush Administration. BOBDN's life and vocation is singular in purpose; his obsession with Bush. Just because BOBDN can't multi-task, doesn't mean that Bush's administration can't.

I have yet to see that Bush can single task, unless it involves blowing something up

Typical reply from a partisan moron unwilling to see, or dishonestly misrepresenting, the facts.

You may not agree with his policies, however Bush has passed an impressive amount of legislation, appointments, crafting another behemoth governmental agency, all the while dealing with 9/11 and its it's aftermath--the supposed "war on terror".

All this while supposedly on vacation half the time...........

If you cannot address the message, belittle the messenger. Oh well, you never were given much credit for handling topics, just witty responses attacking the messinger. Want to continue? Useless, but if it compensates for the inflatable gonads you must be using to impress the ladies, go for it.

Now if you are done displaying your aggression, back to the point...

I will concede you are right about getting legislation through. Patriot Act is one. I have no doubt that some useful legislation was passed as well, although nothing stands out. The point is Bush's emphasis has been on prosecuting this war, and our occupation. He has done that alright, but his justifications as publicly portrayed by his subordinates before the fact have not been proven. The occupation was supposed to go something like "we liberate them, they thanks us, have a parade and all is well" Well, that worked out didnt it? Or are you saying they planned to have a growing resistance and our military being attacked daily? The only thing that worked out was the invasion of Baghdad itself, and unless you are saying that Bush personally planned that, the credit goes to the generals. This whole thing is screwed and you ought to know it


BTW, in the last election I was an independent who voted for Bush. So much for partisan. Bush on vacation? I couldnt care. Presidents bring whatever work they do with them. I was generally in support of Bush. I even called out some well known liberal members on some issues. Pursuing Bin Laden was a no brainer, because he was directly responsible for 9/11. IMO he went downhill when he kept painting himself into a corner with snappy rhetoric, like the "axis of evil" speech. "Bring it on" was nice too. Back to his vacation.. I think he needs to be retired from office. He then can vaca forever if he wishes.

Waaah. :(

I quit reading after that sentence and here's why: Whining about being belittled because you belittled someone else (Bush) rings hollow and hypocritical. Did you address the "message" of my post? Probably not, but as I said, I quit reading right there, so I dunno and don't really care--you are of no real significance when you demonstrate nothing more than the bandwagon mentality..

Hey, I'm a partisan republican, and not ashamed to admit it, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna sing the praises of everything Bush stands for. On many occasion I've voiced opinion critical of policies of Bush that I don't agree with (steel tarrifs, the budget defecit, "faith based" initiatives, and the new beheamoth Dept of Homeland Security, and his love for the neo-con poison that has infected the Republican party, to name but a few). At the same time though, I will continue to recognize the things that I believe he is doing right. This goes for the "opposition" party too.

Actually I find you quite entertaining.

Please feel free to attack me or others here. You certainly will, because you cannot differentiate between Bush and yourself.

I have no real problem with you trashing any politician or policy, or not. Heaven know, I will. You, however attack people who don't do the same to you. You are not up to the task though. I have watched people who could practically flay the flesh off your bones with a look and a sentence of 10 words or less.

You want to partisan? Be my guest. There are lots of people on the other side.

If you want to defend Bush, that is fine with me too. I will disagree, vehemently if I feel it warranted. I will not launch into a tirade against you, unless you insist on making it personal. Even then, I make no promises to play with you. Even cats get bored with rubber mice.

BTW, be careful when you start calling people morons. You ought to praise them as geniuses. That way you will almost come up to average.

The game you started grows tiresome. If you want to play, go outside.

I stopped reading after "Waaah." The opinion(s) of pompous jerkoffs really don't matter to me.

Thanks, I do try!

Please feel free to attack me or others here.

As you can see, I didn't wait for your prior approval, but thanks for offering it anyway. I'll be sure to take you up on the offer.

You certainly will, because you cannot differentiate between Bush and yourself.

Of course I can. Don't confuse the fact that just because I treat you in the same manner in which you treat Bush, that I somehow I believe I am Bush, or am personally harmed by your's (and others) obsessive vitriol spat at his general direction. I'm simply amusing myself by listening to you hypocritically whining about being "attacked".

I have yet to see that Bush can single task....

What's the "message"? Oh yeah, so simple I missed it: Bush is a moron. Forgive me for showing you no respect in my reply to your evident lack of respect and the tired insult directed at Bush. How crass of me. Your "message" showed genuine thought and integrity...

I have watched people who could practically flay the flesh off your bones with a look and a sentence of 10 words or less.

LOL, well now, that's damned impressive!! Please, by all means, invite them to the party! I enjoy a good BBQ, and nothing tastes as sweet as grilled corn!

Even cats get bored with rubber mice.

My cat prefers the fuzzy mice to the rubber ones.....catnip sticks to the little fake mice fur and my cat has yet to tire of it's effects... ;)

Yeah folks, and whatever bush would have done y'all would still try to discredit him. So he can do no right in your eyes, so what's it matter. Oh, and lets not think of who let NK get these nukes, and you damn well know who I mean.

While personal attacks are unwarranted, the tone of many of the posters being attacked certainly invites them. The OP was fine as it was, however, the whole "I HATE BUSH/CONSERVATIVES" wankfest that followed, and often follows so many of these posts does nothing but provoke and irritate people that disagree. I respect critical opinions of the president and his administration, and but only if they're presented in a thoughtful and respectful manner, rather than "DUUUUH BUSH IS STUPID."

Making nonsenical personal attacks on both posters and political figures, using insulting nicknames or references, and calling anyone who disagrees you an idiot is just trolling and should be stopped. You can say that you have problems with the Iraq entanglement without calling Bush a dumbass and saying some smug potshot like "that's so typical of conservatives." If you're trying to convince people of your opinion, don't you think you guys would do a much better job of it without being so condescending and hostile? I mean, you don't see ads trying to win customers by saying "HEY MORON, BUY MY STUFF." Truth be told, it's not the conservatives here adore Bush; they hate the childish behavior of so many of the Bush-bashers here.
