Highlights of the Bush presidency

[KC0VWU]

If I had to pick one moment in the Bush presidency that was more glorious than all the rest I would have to pick his "Mission Accomplished" speech on that aircraft carrier. Wow, that was great, he is such a fantastic leader. How about you?

Why don't you grab a rifle yourself,or better yet send your son?
I did,and he believes in his CIC,and his mission!

Dude! He wouldn't be there if it really was "Mission Accomplished!"

This isn't about me, it is about our glorious leader. Please do not hijack this thread. Nonetheless, I would be proud to let my son serve under the most intelligent president this country has ever (and I mean ever) had. I would sign up myself but I like to sleep in late and I have a problem with authority figures PLUS I don't look good in green.

As has been explained ten thousand times, the "Mission Accomplished" sign was erected by the crew of the a/c carrier and referred to the carrier's completion of its tour.

There are plenty of things to pick at Bush over, that's for sure, but none of you neo-libs seem to be able to get the point or get it right.

Wonder why?

[W5IEI]

I'm just saying,that Bush 1 ,Regan,Carter were all asleep at the switch.

We finally have a president with a little backbone to fight the terrorists on their soil,and all you can do is belittle them?

What exactly is your solution?

We're listening.

OOPS,
I forgot to mention Clinton.

You didn't mention what your favorite highlight was. This is a positive thread, I'm trying to be nice. If he's done something you think was spectacular, tell us about it. So far, I'm the only one complimenting him.

Clinton tried to bomb Bin Laden. Bush failed to do that until after 9/11.

Actually, if you are going to say something get it right. Bush has still failed to bomb Bin Laden(as far as we know)...But I still fail to get your point? I don't recollect Bin Laden doing anything to warrant a bombing until 9/11 on Bush's watch.

Actually that is not true. It was put up to accompany his speech, but the words "mission accomplished" were struck from the speech at the last minute.

As closely as I had followed that when it occurred and for the years afterward, your comment about the sign being up for the ship is the first I had ever heard of that, even for the "ten thousand times" you claim it had been explained. By whom, by the way? Karl Rove?

Makes a good story, though, even if it isn't true.

I've heard that story too. But I don't think that was the intent when the photo was taken and published. Do you really think the White House and Secret Service would have allowed the sign to stand and let that photo be released by "accident" ? If so, then they are even more incompetent than I thought.

No, he didn;t have the backbone. He ran away from where the terrorists were and went to a place called Iraq where there were no terrorists. Iraq didn;t work with Al Queda. The terrorists did not live in Iraq. Keep your eyes closed.

So you are saying that Bin Laden's bombing of two US embassies and the USS Cole were just things that happened in the Clinton administration, and Bush didn't need to be concerned about them.

So, then I imagine that you would say that if Obama, for example, becomes president after Bush, then there would be no reason for him to go after Bin Laden any more, either. #No?

And actually, Bush did try to bomb Bin Laden - AFTER 9/11. #But then going to war in Iraq was suddenly much more interesting, and he forgot all about Bin Laden. #Yeah, Bin Laden was just not a priority. #Yeah. #

Oh, and that Iraq war was really worth it too, wasn't it. #Why, all of the WMD that was found... all of the yellowcake uranium deals that we discovered... all of the meetings between Mohammed Atta and Iraqi intelligence that we uncovered...

All of the mobile bio-weapons labs that we found, and all of the aluminum tubes and the mushroom clouds that we found, and all of the armor that we did not provide to our soldiers... all of the betrayals by Bush lackeys of a CIA agent who had risked her life for her country, all to get back at Joe Wilson for calling Bush and Cheney on their lie... #it was all worth it! And the thousands of dead soldiers all agree: by golly, that was really smart! #So let's keep forgetting about Bin Laden, and let's keep starting wars that lead to situations that we can not defend... yeah... Ohhhh, you're so right... #God must love the Bush administration for all that it has done... #yeah... #And you must be sooooo proud of them too... #yeah...

Okay I found a highlight, this one is directly from President Bush himself...

Quote[/b] ]“I would say the best moment was when I caught a 7 1/2-pound largemouth bass on my lake,” Bush said.

I didn't realize he was such a sportsman. Wow, cool.

Wonder why?
Quote[/b] ]The White House claimed that the banner was requested by the crew of the ship. Afterwards, the administration and naval sources stated that the banner was the Navy's idea, White House staff members made the banner, and it was hung by the U.S. Navy personnel. White House spokesman Scott McClellan told CNN "We took care of the production of it. We have people to do those things. But the Navy actually put it up." According to John Dickerson of TIME magazine, the White House later conceded that they actually hung the banner but still insists it had been done at the request of the crewmembers.

Whether meant for the crew or not, the general impression created by the image of the President under the banner has been criticized as premature — especially later as the guerrilla war began. Subsequently, the White House released a statement saying that the sign and Bush's visit referred to the initial invasion of Iraq. Bush's speech noted:

"We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We are bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous."

However the speech also said that:

"In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed."

When he received an advance copy of the speech, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld took care to remove any use of the phrase "Mission Accomplished" in the speech itself. Later, when journalist Bob Woodward asked him about his changes to the speech, Rumsfeld responded:"I was in Baghdad, and I was given a draft of that thing to look at. And I just died, and I said my God, it's too conclusive. And I fixed it and sent it back… they fixed the speech, but not the sign."

Bush reiterated his "Mission Accomplished" statement to the troops at Camp As Sayliyah on June 5, 2003 — about a month after the aircraft carrier incident: "America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished."

Also mentioned a thousand times but (to paraphrase) none of you neo-cons seem to be able to get the point or get it right.

Fox? There have been so many stories of their outright lying on newscasts that you must've been hung over from the Koolaid. Don't you have a problem with a foreigner (Murdoch) who has point blank said that he tried to change American foreign policy to the point where more American kids would've died in a war?

http://www.bartcop.com/fox-lies-libby.jpg

How about a quote from them? Coulter is a shill, amazed that you even considered him for a moment. Rove isn't an elected official and as such has no official involvement in running the government. Gingrich has outed himself for the hypocrite he is.

Great sources. Why not ask why the Bible didn't print Judas's side of the story while were at it?

Get some glasses christian dude. Those swine that you cast before, they're full of demons.

This has been discussed before and the evidence, especially from news footage and interviews from the time the event happened, seem to indicate that you are incorrect. #The 'Mission Accomplished' thing, placed in full view of the pres' audience intentionally, was referring to the Iraqi war.

This was the same crew that positioned the aircraft carrier so the TV cameras wouldn't reveal that it was actually close to shore instead of out to sea?

It would be hard to find a photo depicting Mr. Bush's greatest accomplishment. Such a picture would have to have been taken in the dark of night, in a backroom someplace, far from any kind of public scrutiny. And. I'm not talking about the night he created his twins!

There are plenty of things to pick at Bush over, that's for sure, but none of you neo-libs seem to be able to get the point or get it right.

Wonder why?
Quote[/b] ]The White House claimed that the banner was requested by the crew of the ship. Afterwards, the administration and naval sources stated that the banner was the Navy's idea, White House staff members made the banner, and it was hung by the U.S. Navy personnel. White House spokesman Scott McClellan told CNN "We took care of the production of it. We have people to do those things. But the Navy actually put it up." #According to John Dickerson of TIME magazine, the White House later conceded that they actually hung the banner but still insists it had been done at the request of the crewmembers.

Whether meant for the crew or not, the general impression created by the image of the President under the banner has been criticized as premature — especially later as the guerrilla war began. Subsequently, the White House released a statement saying that the sign and Bush's visit referred to the initial invasion of Iraq. Bush's speech noted:

# #"We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We are bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous."

However the speech also said that:

# #"In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed."

When he received an advance copy of the speech, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld took care to remove any use of the phrase "Mission Accomplished" in the speech itself. Later, when journalist Bob Woodward asked him about his changes to the speech, Rumsfeld responded:"I was in Baghdad, and I was given a draft of that thing to look at. And I just died, and I said my God, it's too conclusive. And I fixed it and sent it back… they fixed the speech, but not the sign."

Bush reiterated his "Mission Accomplished" statement to the troops at Camp As Sayliyah on June 5, 2003 — about a month after the aircraft carrier incident: "America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished."

Also mentioned a thousand times but (to paraphrase) none of you neo-cons seem to be able to get the point or get it right. #

I just figured out Bush's anti-terrorism logic.

"They" hate us because of our freedom.

Therefore, the less free we are, the less "they" hate us.

So....take away all our freedoms and viola! no more terrorism.

Kinda brilliant

Hello.

The US was supporting Osama bin Laden in the late 80's.
He went as far as to all but admit that he was involved with the killing of Salem bin Laden.

Fox is a verifiable source. So, too, are a host of others that you lefty-libs like to denigrate. How about a quote from Coulter or Rove or Gingrich?

Sources are worthy only in the minds of the beholders.

I have cast no swine before pearls, BTW, but precisely the opposite.
