Reagan, Bush arm and finance the Taliban. Bush’s go into business with the Bin Ladens (Carlyle Group).

People start making excuses “we haven’t been attacked in five years. Experts then ask “what about five years and one month, this shuts up Republicans.
Americans invent a new drinking game called “if in doubt blame Clinton”. Whenever a nut case Republican or conservative tries to put blame on Clinton to divert attention away from the Republicans terror record (see above, or read your high school history books) take one shot of whiskey.
Rumsfeld sells nuclear reactors to N. Korea. Bush sells parts for fighter jets to Iran. The question is do you still feel safe? And will Republican conservatives quit arming, training, financing all our enemies?Is this proof that when it comes to national security neo-cons are about as bad as it gets?
All the while the liberal media second guessing them when the conflicts were started. One wonders how World War Two would have ended if the media of the last 40 years was in place and allowed to stir up the loser mentality at home, as they do now.Is this proof that when it comes to national security neo-cons are about as bad as it gets?
That has to be the most factually distorted reading of history I've ever seen.
Too many distortions and falsehoods and outright fabrications to waste my time correcting. But let's just say it has all the truth of a Clinton testimony under oath. LOL!
Yes and the one Republican counter argument is, basically, ';No he didnt NEITHER!'; You can just see this guy sticking his tongue out at the monitor, completely but impotently enraged by your excellent quesiton.
You forgot to include:
1. Bush's initial resistance to the creation of an independent 9/11 commission, and his refusal to testify to it under oath. If Clinton had refused to go under oath about oral sex, Republicans would have lost their minds. Bush's refusal is confusing, unless he has something to hide. We will never know, as he spoke to the commission only once, only off the record and only with Dick Cheney sitting there beside him, telling him what to say.
2. If Bush can blame Clinton for something which happened 10 months after his Presidency ended, can HE then blame George Bush Sr, for the FIRST WTC attack, which occurred only 39 DAYS after Clinton became President?
3. How do Republicans justify villifying Clinton's lack of military experience when Bush couldnt even complete a 6 year Reserve obligation? In effect becoming a deserter in a time of war?
4. The GOP Congress last year tooka $650 Million appropriation out of the Federal Budget. This money would have been used to inspect up to 75-80% of cargo coming into the US from overseas. We currently inspect roughly 3% of this cargo and some estimate it's actually much less than that, as our trade deficit increases and even MORE cargo comes into our wide open ports.

Where on Earth did you go to school to learn history? Even in bad shape as our education system is, there is no way you could get that many facts screwed up!
1. Regan was never blackmailed by Iran with the hostages. They were taken hostage under the leadership of President Carter, and released the day Regan took office!
2. Carter didn't send in special forces, nor did the Iranians shoot down a chopper! God Lord, where do you get this stuff? A chopper hit another aircraft on the ground attempting to land, setting off numerous explosions.
3. President Bush NEVER sold fighter jet parts to Iran! This practice stopped in the late 70's due to the unstable govt there!
4. No WMD's in Iraq? Look into the New York Times archive, April 2001. Even this Democrat newspaper had proof that the WMDs were there.
You are just another Kool-Aid drinking, tin foil hat wearing, ';hate America'; left-wing Liberal nut. None of your facts are right, even with the so called sources you provide....commentaries don't count as sources of facts! And BTW, the first source you list (consortium-news), it says that the world trade towers WERE INDEED brought down with aircraft flying into them! So whats happened to the ';It was an inside job'; theories you Libs love to spout off? Can't have your sources both ways now!Is this proof that when it comes to national security neo-cons are about as bad as it gets?
YAWN!!!! OMG could your question be any longer! Boring!!!!

The borders with Canada have been open for a long time, but other than that very well said.Lets just take a look at the Republicans real record on terrorism shall we? Now do you feel safe?
I will never feel safe when there are terrorists that hate us and would love to kills us, no matter if there is a Republican or Democrat in office, because they don't care if they kill Republicans or Democrats..
I hope you get better real soon.
Yes well done sadly the caliber of most yahoo views will not read your facts and will turn to fox for all their info-tell.
Calm down and stop pointing fingers. Yikes. Do you really think your post is being productive? Both republicans and democrats can be blamed for various things, whether it be security related or otherwise.
why do the repugs always pick the WRONG friends??inquiring minds want to know!
Where were Conservatives' so-called ';strong defense'; on 9/11?
Conservatives want us to be glad that there hasn't been another attack but I want to know why there was such a massive attack in the first place.
The real threat to America are the very people that are in power today. The war on terror is just like the the war on drugs, the war on poverty, etc. The true victims in all these wars are the American people whose freedoms have been eroded, retirement accounts and pensions have been stolen, and what used to be a world superpower has become a world class bully with no visible means of support. If American business was truly patriotic, then all the manufacturing jobs which gave this country its economic might wouldn't be in China and Mexico. We are becoming a country of loan sharks and thieves. What happened to our honor?
Very well put.
But I must take exception to your second to last paragraph. There'd be a problem taking a shot of whisky every time some right-wing nutball blames a Clinton (Bill or Hillary) for everything that ever happened.
There isn't enough whisky in the world.
Do you really think that if the terrorists had their choice in beheading Americans they would have any interest whatsoever in the victim's political affiliation?
Do you believe they think for one minute that a Democrat is less of an infidel than a Republican?
The terrorists don't give a damn about our political affiliation.
As far as your cherry picked examples - you fail to mention LBJ's ';contributions'; to the Viet Nam war, Carter's ';tough'; choppers didn't get ';shot down'; - they got bogged down in the deserts with sand in the engines (great strategic planning, eh?) - You left out Reagan's response to the bombing in Lebanon (you probably don't even know of the devastating rocket and shelling he responded with) - and on and on and on.......
The war on terror follows many mistakes by BOTH parties - and trying to lay the entire blame on one is nothing but counter productive.
We can't ';feel safe'; regardless of who's in office - we must take the terrorists' threats very seriously.
We must, sooner or later, present the Islamic terrorists with a united front - either that, or we better just convert to Islam - or die.
Bottom line five years no attacks here.Oh and one month.
well for one thing I give you credit for at least trying to think this through, but you aren't doing a very good job. there are things you need to look up about Johnson, Reagen and carter that you have missed interpreted. go back and start over.
Oh get over the poor Clinton bit, he sunk himself, he needed NO help from anyone to do that!!
Bin Ladens first attempt on the Towers back in 1993, was under Clinton, which he was too busy to do anything about it, then the bombing of an American Embassy in Africa, then the USS Cole, many were killed, all under Clinton, did he do anything???? NO!
So, 9/11 happened and Bush reacted like a President should, and we haven't had any attacks since, so do I feel safe?? Yes, allot more than I would if a player from the opposing team was up to bat.......
Oh %26amp; BTW... your ';facts'; , well, they just AREN'T!!
Isn't this party politics game exciting.
Let's stand back a little, and take a look at the bigger picture.
Party politics is simply in place to enable people to believe that there is some form of democracy.
This is not the case. Behind elections and government is something considerably more powerful and insidious.

People like you make me want to stay conservative.
well clinton had 5 terrorist attacks and bush had none, i thought the hostiges were released on reagans watch so he automatically gets credit for it right?
How about all the times Clinton cut and ran in the 1990's? You are playing Monday Morning Quarterback with this one. We had no idea how bad the problem was going to get 20 years ago.
with a record like this i would hide in a cave and wait for the next ice age.
Hell, conservative Republicans ARE terrorists. After 800 years of Western European legal protection, they go and habeas corpus out the window.
I won't feel safe until our government is back in order.
Yawn, listen you moronic liberal, conservative leaders are the only ones fighting terror in the last 20 years.
Quit taking our quotes too, because LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER. We came up with that first, thank you Mr. Savage.
liberals: Dumb, no talent, whiny hacks.
looking at your 360 comments you have been defeated but are to arrogant to admit it. now to answer your rave: Republicans suffer from Reality
Democrats suffer from Delusions.
Is this a question? I will try this. Bill Clinton cut a deal with Korea and it went something like this: We will supply you with energy, if you stop any nuclear activity. Korea said OK and Bill believed them. Bush is now dealing with that result.
Bill Clinton stated repeatedly that Iraq had WMD, but failed to act on any of this information. 9/11 happened and Bush acted on this information and we all know that this information was not accurate. Thanks Bill for signing the act that didn't allow our intelligence agency to pay informants - lost our best source of information.
By the way, Richard Clarke - He failed to print the correct year of the Sudan attack in his book. Off 1 year. Maybe that is why he couldn't convince Bush?
Either way, the public should work as a team to resolve this! I've never come across a situation where infighting had a positive result. Well, maybe that is the plan?
Bravo! well said and well backed. I believe it was Adolph Hitler that said '; It is easier to fool the masses with a big lie then it is to fool them with a small lie.'; It seems that the republicans have worked this to the death, and as long as they can convince the uneducated masses they will!
I'm not nearly as good as you are at re-writing history to support polical motivation, so I'll just stick with reality.
It's obvious you blame Bush for everything wrong in the world. You are a half-step away from saying you think Bush attacked the United States and terrorists had nothing to do with it.
Here's some information you don't seem to be aware of: terrorists (and not politicians of either party) attacked the United States on September 11, 2001.
You claim Bush ';ignored'; the warnings about Bin Laden. You seem to think out of the literally hundreds of pieces of intelligence that come in each and every week, there should have been some miraculous and psychic ability to predict which ones were and were not valid and specific threats. Hindsight is always 20/20.
You completely ignore Clinton's contribution to the mess which was mostly in his systematic dismantling of all human intelligence sources that US operatives had built up in the Middle East. It took almost two decades to build that up, but Clinton destroyed it in under two years. It's possible (but not guaranteed) that if Clinton had simply left that system alone, then 9/11 could have been prevented.
Clinton has admitted his regret for not killing Bin Laden when he had the chance. However, at the time Clinton had the opportunity, Bin Laden had not yet coordinated any major attacks. Therefore, Clinton also would have had to be psychic, so he's no different.
All of the world's major governments support their allies by arming them to allow them to fight their enemies. In the Middle East in the late 1970's, the U.S. armed the Taliban because the Soviet Union had already invaded Afghanistan to steal their oil. Reagan (and the Democrat-controlled U.S. Congress) was simply trying to restore order to the region and unfortunately, the Taliban was the only option to make that happen.
Are you saying you would rather that the Soviets had slaughtered and/or subjugated all of the Afghan people? That was their intent. But I guess that would have been OK with you.
I guess it doesn't really matter, though. From your writing it's clear that you've let one side of the political battle COMPLETELY brainwash you into thinking the other side is EVIL. Nothing I write here has a prayer of changing that.
If you would consider taking any advice from a moderate Republican, I would offer the following few items: Look at the bigger picture. Don't let one side convince you that they have exclusive possession of moral authority (they're all do bad things as well as good things, too). Try to discern the facts from the news and the history books. Think for yourself.
Good luck and God Bless you.
Conservatism in the USA right now is more like a plague. And for the people that have it, there is no cure.
Well written question. At the time of writing my answer there were only two responses both from unintelligent right wing, conservative, red neck wallies. That tells a story of apathy and brainwashing, does it not?
We have all the same things happening here in Australia except our bloke just follows Bush down the toilet instead of pulling his own chain. Selling Aussie jobs overseas, importing cheap labour, supporting wars that are not supportable etc, etc, etc.
If we don't get rid of these conservative nit wits and drongos quickly we're all off to hell in a hand basket.
Actually, to answer your question, HELL NO!! I thought we were better off with Saddam than the power vacuum we have now. America's foreign policy and aggression is largely to blame for terrorism in the first place and how does Bush deal with it? You've got it, by doling out more of the same conservative drivel. God help us all.
I'll go now and brace myself for the torrent of right-wing abuse and psycho-babble that will come in the wake of this answer. Keep up the good fight.
Jules, Australia.
i think the rest of the world will agree : you made your hole, now fu*king lay in it and stop your go**amn bitching, u pansy a** mother*ucker
Reagan CUTS and RUNS from Hezbollah in Lebanon when they bomb a marines barracks. Reagan and Bush arm, train, finance Bin Laden and his boys in Afghanistan (the CIA operative who was the go between said on p.b.s that he warned Reagan and Bush to stop dealing with Bin Laden, but they ignored him thus ending any excuse of “we were helping him to destroy the Russian occupation”. http://www.consortiumnews.com/Print/0917…
Reagan, Bush, Rumsfeld give Saddam chemical weapons. Hundreds of thousands die during this long ordeal (including an estimated 90,000 infants and toddlers which is more in that time span then abortions for a decade) Saddam runs out and then we stop arming him. That’s why we knew there were no WMD’s in Iraq.
Reagan, Bush arm and finance the Taliban. Bush’s go into business with the Bin Ladens (Carlyle Group). Bush’s become great friends with the Saudi Royal family, the same family which has financed terrorism for years. Dubya ignores Presidential Daily Brief which says “Bin Laden determined to strike U.S.”. George Tenant Begs Bush to be on alert for airplane hijackings from Arab students who are being trained to fly aircraft, but not how to take off or land. Congress wants a budget of 3 million to combat terrorism, Bush squashes this and gives zero, that’s zero dollars to terrorism. Richard Clark constantly warns Bush about terrorist attacks that will be coming soon, Bush ignores him. 9/11/01 We are hit on Bush’s watch and Bush looks like an idiot on TV when he finds out we are under attack, and operation blame Clinton because Bush is an idiot begins.
Bush protects the Bin Laden family before 9/11 when the FBI was told to back off Bin Ladens brother who was funneling money to Al-Qaeda http://www1.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/… 9/11. Bush tries handing over port security to countries linked to terrorism. Bush cuts a deal with Pakistan, a country to be well known to be a safe haven for terrorism. Now Pakistan has cut a deal with Al-Qaeda.
Bush tries handing over our ports to countries linked to terrorism. Bush is opening up our borders to Mexico and Canada soon allowing terrorists free reign in America, and handing over a hundred thousand jobs to Mexicans to be in charge of our cargo security, and all importing and exporting (this one is from Conservative Republicans http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?i… )
People start making excuses “we haven’t been attacked in five years. Experts then ask “what about five years and one month, this shuts up Republicans.
Americans invent a new drinking game called “if in doubt blame Clinton”. Whenever a nut case Republican or conservative tries to put blame on Clinton to divert attention away from the Republicans terror record (see above, or read your high school history books) take one shot of whiskey.
The question is do you still feel safe? And will Republican conservatives quit arming, training, financing all our enemies?Lets look at the real Conservative Republican record on terrorism? And is conservatism a mental illness?
Let's stand back a little, and take a look at the bigger picture.
Party politics is simply in place to enable people to believe that there is some form of democracy.
This is not the case. Behind elections and government is something considerably more powerful and insidious.
Take a look at this page for a little enlightenment, and then search around the site to fill in many blanks.

People like you make me want to stay conservative.
well clinton had 5 terrorist attacks and bush had none, i thought the hostiges were released on reagans watch so he automatically gets credit for it right?
How about all the times Clinton cut and ran in the 1990's? You are playing Monday Morning Quarterback with this one. We had no idea how bad the problem was going to get 20 years ago.

Why are people tearing down Nanci Pelosi....especially after she saved the economy from Bush?
';SOME'; people better get off the Speakers back about some crap about whether she heard the CIA talking about water boarding or not...WHO care!
FACTS:
When she took over in Jan 2007 this country was in a mess, unemployment, millions of people were hungry in the streets, schools had no electricity or even food to feed the kids for lunch. I can't remember but around 29% of people had no jobs at that time....people were selling everything they had just to make it by...minimum wage was around $3 per hr.
Enter Nanci Pelosi: She dumped all of Bush's laws to help the people. She found out that Bush had all these laws to hurts blacks, children and the elderly and Bush made the poor pay for the rich...HOW sick is that!
Bush worked everyday to kill and destroy everything....The speaker stopped him and changed these laws.
Caqn't you get behind her and stand with her like she stood for you?Why are people tearing down Nanci Pelosi....especially after she saved the economy from Bush?
How satirical. If you were serious....yikes.Why are people tearing down Nanci Pelosi....especially after she saved the economy from Bush?
She is one of the most illogical speakers in politics I have even heard. Additionally, I truly believe she is nothing more than a politician that knows how to sway the public to her point of view.
SHe has to be one of the worst in congress.
Your definition of fact is the same as Pelosi's, isn't it?
Not a chance down with her she deserves everything she gets + some. The rest will follow in short time.Nice to see they are destroying themselves with out any help.
Had me going for a minute. But your alright with me now. LOL
Are you drunk?
Pride goeth before the fall - that is all I have to say - about Nancy Pelosi-
Yea you have hit the ignorant nerve of the Pelosi supporters, She will not go away but she has made a complete joke of her position.

How much of Bush's policies of last 8 years were supported by republicans in congress?
1) making it harder for ciitzizens to file bankruptcy yes no
2) making it harder for citizens to sue big corporations that injure them
yes no
3) cutting funding for medicare and medicaid, for education, using no child left behind to cut off funds to schools that actually need it the most
yes no
4) not moving to assign more border patrol as mandated by law.
yes no
5) moving to get as many free trade agreements signed as possible for which the greatest ingredient was to make it easy for american companies to close factories in USA and transfer manufacturing jobs to other countries causing mass layoffs of american workers yes no
6) Deregulation across the board. Suddenly federal agencies that were created to help protect citizens and consumers were actually there to protect big corporations and harm consumers . Literally putting the foxes in charge of the hen house.
yes no
7) The war in Iraq and its continuation ...the stay the course slogan that we kept hearing over and over..even as great majority of americans wanted us out of Iraq. yes no
8) Wanted to privatize social security and wanted funds invested in the stock market yes no
9) The belief that Bin laden was not that important even though he engireered and ordered the murder of over 3000 innocent american citizens on our own soil. yes no
10) That over 800 signing statements by Bush basically amending laws passed by congress ...literally saying there are certain parts of the law he will treat differently than what congress said or that there are certain parts he will not obey yes no
11) That outing a CIA agent for political reasons was legal and right
yes no
12) Mixing govt and religion in a way never done before with faith based initiatives
yes no
13) that for years we were told the economy was booming and how great the bush economy was...that as recently as months ago we were told we were nowhere near a recession that the fundamentals of the economy was strong and suddenly we are told that we are in dire straights and that an emergency bailout was needed immediately and that about 1 trillion dollars had to be handed over to financial institutions to rescue them or else we would have a disaster worse than the great depression....this of course being told to us by the very people who just a few months back were telling us to chill that all was good.
yes no
14) That putting people in jail and throwing away the key without a trial is just fine
yes no
15) that obtaining information via torture (As described by international community) is just fine.
16) that firing of attorneys working for justice department because they refused to blindly follow directives to harass political dissidents with investigations was just fine.
yes no
17) that killing the electric car was the right thing to do.
yes no
18) that mistreating returning war veterans whether at hospitals or not paying attention to their mental health was just fine.
yes noHow much of Bush's policies of last 8 years were supported by republicans in congress?
The Bush Presidency was anchored by a Republican control Congress for the first six years. There afterwords; the Democrats regain a slim margin of a lead; but not Filibuster proof. The reign of the Republican deregulation has proven to the American people, its failures not vicariously. Failure after failure has created the biggest aftermath and legacy of the Bush Rule. Indeed; historians on a generous day; would be hard press to show favor. How much of Bush's policies of last 8 years were supported by republicans in congress?
McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time.
It's ok that you are democrat. You have a right to your opinions..... even though they may be wrong!
Ok your definitely a liberal. However I do agree with you that a lot of his policies were wrong and this is coming from a conservative. You also forgot giving 40 Billion dollars to Africa to fight AIDS I was deifinitely against that!
Look, don't get me wrong, Bush is a horrible president, just like most of them, but I have a problem with No. 6. Seriously, name one thing Bush ';Deregulated';. He didn't ';deregulate'; anything. We still massive amounts of regulation, which big corporations are the only ones advocating to eliminate competition from smaller companies. Yes, his so called ';free-trade'; agenda is ridiculous, its really just government managed trade. Unfortunately, Bush advocates the free market, but doesn't practice what he preaches, so now people will think that the free market is bad and will call for more regulation which, in reality is just central planning, like the Soviet Union, which we all know had a superb economy. lol!!
Without going through everything you wrote, I think it is safe to say that the last 8 years were full of partisan politics and Republican Congressmen and women strongly supported the President.

Should george bush be impeached?
after having a war that killed so many American Soldiers and Iraqi's for weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist. after the CIA repeated sent him letters, telling him they didn't exist on at least 11 occasions, he still brought us into a war instead of helping here on our own soil the people of 911, katrina and so on. do you think he should not only be impeached, but all the money him and his croonies made on the war, by selling the uniforms, meals, tanks etc, from their private companies to our military and country and making the taxpayer pay for it. do you think the way we got screwed, that the money should in fact be taken away from every company they all own here and around the world and give the money back to the people of the united states and put jobs, businesses, education and health care into own country?
what do you think we can all do to fix and settle this problem, obviously throwing a shoe at him doesn't so a thing. He didn't realize what an insult that was. its like saying, hey, mr bush, you are a dog!
also, should Harvard and Yale take back the Business degrees they gave him? his daddy paid for that with your tax dollar.
our kids can't even go to a safe school and this son of a b*tch is president. plus, if your president, i thought you couldn't have a past record of illegal drug use, so how does a coke head alcoholic get to be President?Should george bush be impeached?
it should have been done long ago but Pelosi is the one to blame. articles of impeachment have been read into the congressional record and she has refused to act upon them. she took the speaker of the house position and stated impeachment was off the table because she wanted to work with the president. She didn't change that course even though GWB used his veto pen to let her know he wasn't interested in cooperation, only having what he wanted, the way he wanted it. I'm happy the government is in the hands of the democrats but Pelosi should be taken down for her betrayal along with the Bushman.Should george bush be impeached?
Short answer.
no.
EYES..... BLEEDING.....
%26lt;Wall of Txt crits you for ..... %26gt;
The penalty for conviction after being impeached is removal from office. That is all. He will be out of office before anything could be done so no, regardless of what you think of him.
You are a day late and a dollar short.
He's leaving in a month by the time it gets to court he would already be out of office. This question is kinda 8 years too late.
Ask yourself this question:
';If Congress wasted NO time impeaching Bill Clinton for committing perjury and they haven't brought any charges against Bush, doesn't that mean that Bush didn't break any laws?';
Logic is your friend.
What are ';croonies?'; Is Bush in a singing group? Do they have a CD out yet? You probably think Bush should not be allowed to profit from the sales.
Yes, we should throw the shoe, I mean the book at him!
Yeah thats a great idea. Months and months of paperwork, millions of dollars spent, and lots of time wasted so that the lefties can try to prove a point. Then sometime next year he will no longer be president,... woops... didnt we have an election a little while ago?
How do you think Obama got his degrees? His poor food stamp getting mother saved and scrimped while keeping him at his poor grandmother's house so he could go to Harvard. Nope, grandma was sorta rich, but he got his degree with your tax dollars. Dont worry, he was planning on paying back that money with the sale of his senate seat.
No, he shouldn't. He committed no high crimes and misdemeanors, so even if he was impeached he would not be convicted.
I suspect you will feel even stronger feelings about wanting to impeach a president about a year or so from now.
No thanks to us he kept you butt safe for 7 years. Get over it.
Well only a month is left before he is replaced so they are not going to impeach him.
No. You complain about making the taxpayers pay for the war and yet you're willing to throw away millions of dollars on an impeachment hearing/trial. Crazy.
Um...what's the point? He'll be out of office in a couple months anyway.
Anyway, we impeached Bill and where did that get us?
No, Move on and start worrying about the one with no experience and more scandal than any other president elect has ever had. Let's now worry more about where we are going rather than where we have been.
for all your hot gas, you haven't indicated ONE law he has broken, so, no, he shouldn't be impeached.
NO. Peace
No. He's leaving in a month anyways.
nope
A criminal indictment would be better, that way if found guilty he would go to jail.
';so how does a coke head alcoholic get to be President?';
Ask Obama
Iran-Iraq War, 1980鈥?8, protracted military conflict between Iran and Iraq. It officially began on Sept. 22, 1980, with an Iraqi land and air invasion of western Iran, although Iraqi spokespersons maintained that Iran had been engaging in artillery attacks on Iraqi towns since Sept. 4.
Nevertheless, Iranian leader Ruhollah Khomeini declared that Iran would not cease fighting until Saddam's regime was toppled. Iran began a series of offensives, which proved successful enough to cause Iraq to resort to the use of chemical weapons a tactic reviled by the international community.
Who do you think sold these weapons of mass-destruction to Iraq?
It sure wasn't Mexico or Canada!
As far as the CIa goes they are the ones that told him and most Americana's on top of the news already new!
Unlike some Americans that circumvent stories they hear on the street or read in a tabloid rag, to justify the hate they have for President Bush without doing any research of any kind!
And President Bush is not a dictator, (yet) do a search of executive order he signed in 2005, with out congress approval!)
Now, the house and congress make the laws and our courts enforce them!
So if you impeach President Bush then we need to impeach most of the house and all most all of Congress!
As far as President Bushes allege drug and alcohol use, did you see him indulge?
Anyone can say anything about anybody! you shouldnt beleive everything you here on the streets!
And his daddy did not pay for his son's education by tax payers dollars!
They already had money, like most rich Americans do that don't have to take grants to pay for their childrens education.
They did it the old fashion way they earned it through hard work.
Or for the Bush family google Forrest Prescott Bush!
Has there been any charges brought against him? No? Well then I guess not. He earned his degree at Yale and served in the National Guard. Katrina was more the fault of their crooked Governor/Mayor of their state/city and FEMA than Bush. I hopr you get over this senseless hatred someday, you sound rather childish to be blunt about it and not able to carry on a reasonable conversation.
Too late. Now is the time to either get obama's attorney general to charge him and his cronies with war crimes and other crimes or get the world court in the hague to do it.
what do you think we can all do to fix and settle this problem, obviously throwing a shoe at him doesn't so a thing. He didn't realize what an insult that was. its like saying, hey, mr bush, you are a dog!
also, should Harvard and Yale take back the Business degrees they gave him? his daddy paid for that with your tax dollar.
our kids can't even go to a safe school and this son of a b*tch is president. plus, if your president, i thought you couldn't have a past record of illegal drug use, so how does a coke head alcoholic get to be President?Should george bush be impeached?
it should have been done long ago but Pelosi is the one to blame. articles of impeachment have been read into the congressional record and she has refused to act upon them. she took the speaker of the house position and stated impeachment was off the table because she wanted to work with the president. She didn't change that course even though GWB used his veto pen to let her know he wasn't interested in cooperation, only having what he wanted, the way he wanted it. I'm happy the government is in the hands of the democrats but Pelosi should be taken down for her betrayal along with the Bushman.Should george bush be impeached?
Short answer.
no.
EYES..... BLEEDING.....
%26lt;Wall of Txt crits you for ..... %26gt;
The penalty for conviction after being impeached is removal from office. That is all. He will be out of office before anything could be done so no, regardless of what you think of him.
You are a day late and a dollar short.
He's leaving in a month by the time it gets to court he would already be out of office. This question is kinda 8 years too late.
Ask yourself this question:
';If Congress wasted NO time impeaching Bill Clinton for committing perjury and they haven't brought any charges against Bush, doesn't that mean that Bush didn't break any laws?';
Logic is your friend.
What are ';croonies?'; Is Bush in a singing group? Do they have a CD out yet? You probably think Bush should not be allowed to profit from the sales.
Yes, we should throw the shoe, I mean the book at him!
Yeah thats a great idea. Months and months of paperwork, millions of dollars spent, and lots of time wasted so that the lefties can try to prove a point. Then sometime next year he will no longer be president,... woops... didnt we have an election a little while ago?
How do you think Obama got his degrees? His poor food stamp getting mother saved and scrimped while keeping him at his poor grandmother's house so he could go to Harvard. Nope, grandma was sorta rich, but he got his degree with your tax dollars. Dont worry, he was planning on paying back that money with the sale of his senate seat.
No, he shouldn't. He committed no high crimes and misdemeanors, so even if he was impeached he would not be convicted.
I suspect you will feel even stronger feelings about wanting to impeach a president about a year or so from now.
No thanks to us he kept you butt safe for 7 years. Get over it.
Well only a month is left before he is replaced so they are not going to impeach him.
No. You complain about making the taxpayers pay for the war and yet you're willing to throw away millions of dollars on an impeachment hearing/trial. Crazy.
Um...what's the point? He'll be out of office in a couple months anyway.
Anyway, we impeached Bill and where did that get us?
No, Move on and start worrying about the one with no experience and more scandal than any other president elect has ever had. Let's now worry more about where we are going rather than where we have been.
for all your hot gas, you haven't indicated ONE law he has broken, so, no, he shouldn't be impeached.
NO. Peace
No. He's leaving in a month anyways.
nope
A criminal indictment would be better, that way if found guilty he would go to jail.
';so how does a coke head alcoholic get to be President?';
Ask Obama
Iran-Iraq War, 1980鈥?8, protracted military conflict between Iran and Iraq. It officially began on Sept. 22, 1980, with an Iraqi land and air invasion of western Iran, although Iraqi spokespersons maintained that Iran had been engaging in artillery attacks on Iraqi towns since Sept. 4.
Nevertheless, Iranian leader Ruhollah Khomeini declared that Iran would not cease fighting until Saddam's regime was toppled. Iran began a series of offensives, which proved successful enough to cause Iraq to resort to the use of chemical weapons a tactic reviled by the international community.
Who do you think sold these weapons of mass-destruction to Iraq?
It sure wasn't Mexico or Canada!
