Tonight President Bush will speak about the state of the Iraq war in front of thousands of servicemen at Fort Bragg. The AP has released a few excerpts of his speech with a side of left-wing rhetoric.
“Like most Americans, I see the images of violence and bloodshed. Every picture is horrifying and the suffering is real,” Bush said, according to excerpts released ahead of time by the White House. “It is worth it.”

The Associated Press has me confused.
What day is this? Tuesday, right? Late afternoon? The AP is reporting that President Bush gave a speech on Tuesday evening about the situation in Iraq. Except that it’s not yet Tuesday evening. And he hasn’t given the speech, yet.

A good speech because it addressed all of the major growing concerns of the America people.
One thing, though, Mr. President.
Freedom is a moral, not an ideal. In a contradistinction, peace is an ideal.
But otherwise, an excellent direct communication with his bosses, to whom he is accountable.

President Bush has screwed up America! No one backmouth me on this because it is true. It’s time to face the facts and get real people! Don’t let him brainwash you with his bull crap.
Ever since he has been president the following things have gone up in price out of sight: gas, college education, insurance, many food items, and tons of other stuff. Although prices are rising the amount of jobs available is decreasing. Many jobs are either being sent overseas or remain here but are taken by foreign immigrants(most of them illegal) when a lot of home born American citizens need them badly. The national dept is higher than it ever was in U.S. history. And how do you figure he’ll make an attempt to pay it off? Increase taxes! Duh!
Bush claims to be this very moral religious person, but has the general morals of the American people and national crime rate really improved? No, if anything they have gotten worse!
We are in this stupid, useless war in Iraq and Bush seems to show no signs of letting up anytime soon as useless and wasteful as it is. His mission is to establish total peace worldwide and rid the earth of all terrorists. Awesome intention, but immpossible. You can’t force people to stop fighting if they want to fight. And one nation can’t capture every criminal or terrorist in the world. We are wasting precious lives, money, equipment, and time on something that can never be. Unless a country is a direct threat to us, we need to leave them be and let them handle things for themselves. We needed to go to Iraq to capture Saddam and those others that were a threat to us, but after we did that we needed to leave. What ever happened to the hunt for bin Laden, the main person behind the 9-11 attacks? Why isn’t our main mission hunting him down? He is still loose and a much bigger international threat than anyone else at this point. We have much more serious threats here at home that we need to deal with, both American citizens and foreign immigrants.
Bottom line, Bush is a terrible president, and will much more likely be the death of America instead of any “terrorist”.

All I can say is Helen Thomas has been covering the White House for umpteen years. She says she never covered a President who wanted to go to war…er wait…until now.
He actually wanted to be a war president, whether there was a war to fight or not. Here a guy who got out of war at all costs, wants other kids to fight this one. and for what? every indication is that Iraq is to al Qeada what stagnent water is to misquitos, a breeding ground. We gave them what they wanted, we played into their hand of making us the clear villian who bombs and invades at whim, with bad intelligence etc.
Face it folks, we are much less safe than 9/12 2001.

In any other generation President Bush would have been hailed as a great leader. Who knows, maybe in future generations he, like Ronald Reagan, will be recognized as the great leaders they are.

Please tell me what’s so great about Bush! When will everyone wake up and see the truth for what it is and stop being overtaken by this brainwashing effect he seems to have on you people?

Thats exactly why crackpots like Dallas and carolm carry on the way they do, they know that unless we actually lose this war on terror, Bush is going to be one of the major historical figures of this age. If what he is trying to do comes to fruition he will, as some leftists has publicly worried about, have schools named after him. Imagine how horrifying that is to those whose “great white hope” was Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton, while quite a good President from a domestic point of view will only ever be remembered as that guy who got blow jobs of his little starstruck intern in the room off the oval office, and blatantly lied about it, and yet dopey ol Dubya may well get remembered as the man who changes the course of history by bringing freedom to countless millions – eek, what a horrible thought eh?

Forget Bill’s personal life. He did a good job running the country and at least he wasn’t allowing hundreds of people to die mercilesly and purposelessly at his hands. Bush basically a murderer. You guys who support him are the crackpots.OK!

The Bush Speech

When the going gets tough…
What did you expect to hear? The president’s speech tonight has been described as “treading water”. Of course he is treading water. What else can he do? He made it plain to us, over and over again, that this would be a long, tough fight.

If Bush took a dump in your faces, I’m sure y’all would find some way to justify it.

Dallas,
Pay close attention and you may learn something.
O.K. ? Here we go then.
1. The 9/11/01 attacks were initiated because the United States was perceived to be a paper tiger in the eyes of Al Qaeda because the 2/26/93 bombing of the World Trade Center and various American embassies overseas went completely unanswered by President Bush’s predecessor.
2. The present budget deficit became so large post 9/11 simply because we are fighting a war. The military that President Bush inherited had literally been gutted by his predecessor as well. Troop strength+ ammo+supplies+equipment= $$$$
But try to understand that the money we are currently spending to fight this war abroad is better than fighting the war on terror here at home. Period.
3. What is so great about this President is that he is truly a great leader. President Bush has made tough decisions based on what was necessary; not on what was popular. Unlike some former Presidents who avoided making these tough decisions but instead conducted polling and focus groups before they formulated their opinions, policy, and public statements. There is a huge difference between being a leader and being an elected official. Whether you like it or not Dallas, this President is a leader.

I give up, there is obviously no way to get through to you people. But at least you can’t say I didn’t tell you so. Everything I’ve said has just been stating the facts, facts that you refuse to accept, they are not only my opinions. Let’s just agree to disagree because there is obviously no way we are going to agree on this issue. Don’t get me wrong though, I have no intentions of offending anyone. Again I’m just stating true facts.
3:46 pm [ Quote ]
Are these quotes your “so called” facts?
1. “Bush basically a murderer.”
2.”Bottom line, Bush is a terrible president, and will much more likely be the death of America instead of any “terrorist?.”
3.”President Bush has screwed up America!”
They sound more like opinions to me, my friend.

Here is a Dallas fact:
“Ever since he has been president the following things have gone up in price out of sight: gas, college education, insurance, many food items, and tons of other stuff.”
I thought all the looneys out there were saying Bush went to war for oil. How come oil prices are going up? Oh, wait, I forgot. Halliberton is secretly controlling oil prices so they can get rich faster. I think your tinfoil hat is getting a bit tight.
Who controls education these days? The looney left.
“...many food items and tons of other stuff.” That is a great way to make a point – generalizations with no specifics. Is this one of the “facts” you are referring to?

Hey, lay off dallas you gob of republican freaks! Go establish a country of your own and live their and do things the you want to but leave us people with common sense out of it, or if you don’t want to do that, just stick your messed up heads in a toilet and never pull them back out. Get what I mean? You know he’s right, now face it and stop your dumb whinning and fussing.
8:05 pm [ Quote ]
We already live in the greatest nation the world has ever known. Perhaps you missed the point that we are quite happy where we currently are!
Why else would we be defending President Bush?
So hang in there J.W.B. and don’t get down on yourself my friend. Maybe next year when you start the 7th grade they will teach you some better grammar, spelling, and punctuation so you can express yourself in a more perspicacious manner.
Why are conservatives always potrayed as being mean and evil, but liberals can get away unscathed with comments like “stick your messed up heads in a toilet and never pull them back out”?
Please enlighten us some more J.W.B.

Okay, you should listen to the speech while watching this slideshow

J.W.B., although I do agree with your political views on this issue, I think the language you are using is out of line. Our job is to tell them the truth, convince them of the true condition the country’s in, and that the president is not doing a good job running the country and how and why. It is not to offend them, curse them out, and call them names. Our mission is to enlighten. And people do judge you by the way you talk and write, so you really should improve your grammar and spelling too.

Listen Dutchboy, if you don’t have anything better to do than sling insults and tell us Americans how stupid we are or how bad our country is, then don’t post any more comments. Your comment did not even pertain to the topic on this board. Some Americans are arrogant and act like they know way more than they do, but we are not all like that so don’t throw us all in that category. And as for penis size, I am happy with mine, but you must not be or you would not feel the need to brag so much. And most of us speak English well enough to get by so lay off us about that too. You should also have more empathy for Natalee too. We don’t know what happened to her or who is responsible, Van Der Sloot and his dad are just suspects. But don’t slam Natalee, it is not her fault she was kidnapped. The ones who commited the crime are to blame.
