President Bush

I am afraid that the President is pushing us closer to a wider Mideast war. I have 3 children and I am afraid that they will end up fighting it.

It sure is a sad day when our President will say to the public that he is not Dishonest, and then go to church every sunday to stand in front of his maker after killing so many of Americans and thousands upon thousands of people of other belief's, and still lie to us for a reason we will not understand, and continue because we put our faith that he has the correct information and is doing the right thing, dishonesty is a very small part of what he has done to so many people.

I think President Bush is just a ordinary man with extra ordinary pressure and responsibilities. I believe that if the American people would pray for our president half as much as they ridicule him he and the country would be better off.

I feel that the President and his people made the right decision going into Iraq. The information that was readily available at the the time was in my view accurate. There were other countries that had the same intelligence info and that is why they stood up with the USA. The USA and its Allies should have gone in with way more troops and wiped out any resistance and because it was not done that way is the reason that there is so much resistance now, not to mention our Iranian friends contributing what they can. The time is now to wipe out all resistance so that the people of Iraq can go about their lives in a stable and democratic manner. If this mess is not cleaned up prior to the US and its Allies leaving you can bet this will come around and bite us in the ass.

To those who persist in kissing the persidents dieriere in hopes of gaining some reward or recognition I challenge you to defend him and his cohorts in their ignorance of what they were putting the United States up against in taking on the Muslim world. Thinking they could change a belief that has been going on for thousands of years. You and he have exposed your total stupidity to the entire world..

In the future such chances for the President to "make his case" before the American public (as stated in his closing comments to interviewer Scott Pelley) should be made before a representative sampling of the American public (people of diverse ages and backgrounds and socio-economic status). After all, in the District of Columbia, he lives in a kind of "bubble" where advisers who agree with him are around him 24/7/365. In previous interviews, he has admitted that he will proceed regardless of lack of national consensus, even if only his wife Laura and dog "Barney" are the only support he can count on. This highly edited piece of publicity does show some different sides to the President in his self-confident role as "Decider in Chief" but there was little accountable to those of us who will be paying for this "war" for decades to come. . .

It's not going to end. We stepped into a S*it storm and we have to keep moving foward at this point. The president wrong or right we can't turn back. We would be simply compromising ourselves, and the safety of the troops already there. I Mean I don't like the idea one bit to send anymore troops but with out somemore help we'll just extend the troops to thin that are already there. They need help and more back up ASAP.

I think it is high time that either the Congress stops Bush from deploying the additional troops to Iraq or, if he doesn't follow the Congress' advisement, impeachment proceedings are initiated. Furthermore, Congress must give him strict time guidelines with respect to withdrawing the remainig troops from Iraq. The majority of the population wants this to occur and is not interested in sacrificing more American lives just to maintain his legacy.

I think that the mistake the president and his administration made in the first place, they put there nose in every country's affair, we should have left Iraq and its leader to deal with each other alone, now we are deep in the war, the president does not want to back off, needless to say, he care less about our young men's lives, all he cares about is to succeed, and that is not going to happen as long as the Iraqi's are fighting among themselves. I say get the hell out of Iraq, and spare our young men's lives, we just cannot police the whole world , spend the billions on our elderly, homeless, poor, education, crime prevention and the president's rating will go up.

Did the American people forget what happened on 9/11? After that tragic day, the President said this was a war on terror. Those who support terrorists are our enemies and Iraq had terrorist cells brewing up hate for the USA and most likely trained some of the pilots of those planes. What is the plan of the Democrats? They say, "let's pull out" but then what? If we didn't act on the tips about Iraq, people would've been all over the President saying,"You knew this information and you didn't do anything about it??!!" The President is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
