The George W. Bush Appreciation Thread

[Destroit]

He got rid of Saddam and his cronies (a good amount at least), which I believe is 100% worth the war in itself, because now Iraq can work on being liberated and Afghanistan is working on becoming a free country. These things don't happen overnight, but I believe the impact that we have made in those two countries will be long lasting and eventually we will have them fully allied with us, kinda how Japan is. For instance, if we didn't have WWII, Japan would have NEVER EVER EVER became what it is today. Just wouldn't have. They became integrated with westernism GREATLY after that war when we were helping them rebuild, and I am hoping that Iraq and Afghanistan will be the same way, even if it takes awhile.

I scoff at most Americans because they're not able to see past their own selfishness to see this. If it doesn't happen on our soil, we don't care. If it doesn't give us money, we couldn't give two shits. If it means having an entirely free country with happy and newly liberated people who will now be able to live out their lives, and the future generations can also, we couldn't give two fucks because we don't see "any reward" for it because we're a country full of simple minded Paris Hiltons. If it doesn't happen today, nobody in this country gives a shit if it will happen tomorrow.

The progress in the middle east, since not 100% visible and instant this VERY SECOND, is scorned and frowned upon by many Americans (due to our shallow and simple minded ways) but you bet your ass that decades, possibly centuries from now, the middle east will be a better place because of what we have done today. This war is only a beginning. I have a feeling that ironically they'll probably be building a memorial for G.W. Bush when the middle east fully turns around, however long that may take.

He had the balls to go in and do what Clinton didn't, even though Clinton is the one that set up this mess by completely ignorning it, just sweeping it under the rug over and over again. This to me means Bush has balls...too bad Clinton was too busy using his to fuck Monica Lewinski...

i doupt the middle east will change without a major civil war. to much bad blood between kurds shitte and sunni, and most of them out to rid the jewish race. the people have been fighting over this land since the dawn of civilization. its not going to stop cause we said so. it will continue. to many stakes of been put on the land to have peaceful cultures there.

and i do believe we went there for oil. there the 3rd largest oil nation, but now there currently 13th on production. which has made many other countries rich as hell just from that loss alone. and created a piggy bank for the us we ally with them, we get more dibs on that oil when the production resumes.

I just thought of another thing...

George Bush is an animal lover... he kept the animals on his ranch from ever missing him too much

[n0Mad]

Someone posted this on another site. I haven't had the chance to check the validity of any of it though.

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.

A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.

4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +

5) American's were buying new cars,taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...

But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;

2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;

3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);

4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;

5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~

$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!

YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ...

REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.

[SaGa]

Someone posted this on another site. I haven't had the chance to check the validity of any of it though.

thats why i noted the war is the bad mark. and you know one dent in a nice car seems to make it a pos automaticly. donno how that happened.

"In October of 1998, during the Clinton administration, the U.S. House and then the U.S. Senate passed The Iraq Liberation Act, which was signed into law on Oct. 31st, making it the official policy of the U.S. government to seek regime change in Iraq. The Senate vote was unanimous, including every Democrat, even Ted Kennedy."

now bush isnt exactly the idea man for the war. he just was seizing the oppertunity to complete the liberation act.

iraq just seems way more then a war on terror. it HAS to be a investment with a net return. either military industrial complex. or a return later on. for a war when counting inflation is approching the price we payed for world war 2. it gets you thinking.

[TygerLili]

As if I don't already think pretty much everything Ann Coulter says is rubbish, her bigoted remarks aren't doing anything to win me over.

As for Bush...sorry, I've got nothin'.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Someone posted this on another site. I haven't had the chance to check the validity of any of it though.

Thats easy to fact check... and it's true be everything I have been able to find.

[Goth Brooks]

I just LOVE how:

When it's "your" president, every bit of good done during their term was their doing, everything bad that happens was the fault of their predecessor (or a contrary Congress).. and the facts easily prove this!

When it's NOT "your" president, every bit of good done during their term was the fault of their predecessor (or a contrary Congress), and everything bad that happens was their own fault... and the facts easily prove this!

BTW:

I find it odd the Republicans had a different message when Clinton was President:

KY's Senior Senator Mitch McConnell said during a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate

"Domestic terrorism is not a cause we have to fight or a project we need to fund. We are not interested in capturing bin Laden. Even though he has been offered to us. We are not the world's policemen. It's not our job to clean up other countries messes or arrest it's bad guys."

VERBATIM QUOTES FROM WHEN CLINTON WAS COMMITTING TROOPS TO BOSNIA:

"You can support the troops but not the president."--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years."--Joe Scarborough (R-FL)

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"--Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

"[The] President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."--Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)"

American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."

--Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."--Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."-- Governor George W. Bush ®-TX

And this, while Kosovo was a FAR more honourable and justifiable deployment than Iraq ever was.

INDEED... good observation

[n0Mad]

The media is full of pandering and I'm just as sick of the trend as everyone else is. I started this thread because W. is not my president. I did not vote for him this past election. I did not want him in office. He's had his fair share of screw-ups and yes, blame those on him. But I'm sick of every woe of America being blamed on him when a lot of it is not his fault.

I did not like Clinton, but I think he accomplished some good things in office.

I do not like Obama and won't vote for him, but I think if elected he can accomplish some good things in office.

I don't like George W. Bush and didn't vote for him, but I think he accomplished some good things in office.

But most of you are so full of spite that you can't even name one good thing he did. I wish I remembered the exact quote and the Japanese man who said it but it was something to the effect of, "Speak well of your enemies because it reflects more on yourself what you say about them than what you say about your friends." Maybe it was in Hagakure but it's been a while since I've read that so I don't know.

[Rev.Reverence]

..I am not full of spite...I just did not see anything good happen...aside from Afghanistan..(I'm a tin-hat.. I supported Afganistan but not Iraq)...

I however did just think of a "posativeish thing"...

The Katrina hurricane...not his fault. I just don't see it. Shit was just not ready anywhere...

(edit to add: I bash the 2 parties equally...I'm no kind of Leftist nut...I'm a totally different kind of nut altogether... )

nafta has helped more then hinder the economy, it allows the us more freedom of exporting. the facts show nafta has incressed our gdp.

now the bad of it is the new world order, and north amarican union which bush's father bush was in favor for. and the issue is mostly how mexico is the low end of living standards and we cant compete with there cheaper price of labor. canada isnt a issue. there on par with our standard.

I second that. Also just because Pres. Bush isn't that great at public speaking DOES NOT make him an idiot. I happen to feel safer in this country than I did when Pres. Clinton was in the White House. I also like that Bush was able to give us the tax breaks that we needed. I do, however disagree with some of his policies. (I'm too tired right now to name them) IMO though, he's been a pretty good president.

[thewhiterecluse]

Not to be offensive to anyone here but personally I think Bush did a terrible job in office like most other money war monging businessmen. How did America benefit out of it? The truth is it didn't and all it did was outsource jobs, cost both the middle and upper class more money, wasted tax dollars that should be spent on education and providing more jobs in America, and dealing with another country's problem which in result made an even bigger problem.

Dear.. I love you and all, but you're completely high if you think Japan after WW2 and the situation in Iraq are even remotely comparable. The underlying societal differences are massive. Japan was back on it's feet inside 10 years and an economic powerhouse in 25 -30. You're asking us to wait two or three times that on the optimistic side? Fuck that. The Bush administration used 9/11 as an excuse to initiate this completely unnecessary war. They planned so poorly I'm not even sure it's fair to say they planned for the aftermath at all. Their assumptions were criminally stupid. The middle east will continue to be a hotbed of terrorism and senseless killing until either some some event that makes them ALL change how they view life, or they are all dead. I have a feeling the latter is the more likely.

N Korea and China are in far more need of "regime changes" than Iraq.

Are you really endorsing WWIII?
