  • No<-----thats all I can say...
  • &quot;we are going to smoke them out" sounds like a BBQ to me.
  • These things that GWB has said make sense to me: America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders. History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy. If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch. America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings. God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know He is on the side of justice. Our finest moments have come when we faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizens, and for the people of other lands. As Americans, we want peace -- we work and sacrifice for peace. But there can be no peace if our security depends on the will and whims of a ruthless and aggressive dictator. I'm not willing to stake one American life on trusting Saddam Hussein. I believe that freedom is the deepest need of every human soul. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done. We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength; they are invited by the perception of weakness. And the surest way to avoid attacks on our own people is to engage the enemy where he lives and plans. We are fighting that enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan today so that we do not meet him again on our own streets, in our own cities. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. You know what's interesting about Washington? It's the kind of place where second-guessing has become second nature. For too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability. Oppression became common, but stability never arrived. We must take a different approach. We must help the reformers of the Middle East as they work for freedom, and strive to build a community of peaceful, democratic nations. The advance of liberty is the path to both a safer and better world. The desire for freedom resides in every human heart. And that desire cannot be contained forever by prison walls, or martial laws, or secret police. Over time, and across the Earth, freedom will find a way. We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace. We know that oppressive governments support terror, while free governments fight the terrorists in their midst. We know that free peoples embrace progress and life, instead of becoming the recruits for murderous ideologies. America has never been an empire. We may be the only great power in history that had the chance, and refused – preferring greatness to power and justice to glory. American foreign policy must be more than the management of crisis. It must have a great and guiding goal: to turn this time of American influence into generations of democratic peace. In the defense of our nation, a president must be a clear-eyed realist. There are limits to the smiles and scowls of diplomacy. Armies and missiles are not stopped by stiff notes of condemnation. They are held in check by strength and purpose and the promise of swift punishment. The case for trade is not just monetary, but moral. Economic freedom creates habits of liberty. And habits of liberty create expectations of democracy. Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world; it is God's gift to humanity. I believe that God has planted in every human heart the desire to live in freedom. And even when that desire is crushed by tyranny for decades, it will rise again.
  • No, but I can easily compile a long list of idiotic, senseless things he has said and done.
  • He doesn't, and just when I start thinking that he has uttered the most stupid thing, he does it again, topping his last most stupid statement.
  • No really. Whatever sense George W. Bush might have had (if any) was probably taken away long ago by coke, booze, and the evils of genetics.
  • President Bush said the following on May 29, 2007, "I promise this to the people of Darfur, the United States will not avert our eyes from a crisis that challenges the conscience of the world," Bush said in remarks delivered at the White House. He followed up his words with the following sanctions and resloutions: Existing economic sanctions on Sudan are to be tightened and expanded by the Treasury Department to cut off 30 Sudanese companies from the U.S. financial system. The sanctions will affect several companies in Sudan's lucrative oil industry, as well as a company accused of arming militias responsible for much of the killing in Darfur. The United States will also ban travel by a Sudanese government official and a military officer blamed for the violence in Darfur. Also targeted for sanctions will be an "obstructionist" rebel leader who is said to have prevented peace efforts. Those three individuals will also have their U.S. dollar assets frozen. The United States and Britain have been drafting a U.N. Security Council resolution that would mandate international sanctions on Sudan for stonewalling efforts to end the killing in Darfur. The resolution will also seek asset freezes and travel bans for individuals connected to the violence, beyond the three the United States sanctioned today, as well as Sudanese government-controlled entities. Khartoum has still not complied and continues to receive aid from China. This was a cut and paste job taken from the here http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=3776463 I used to participate in a lot of Bush bashing, but when I started to investigate causes that were important to me and what the administration was doing to address them, I found a very different story from the headlines of the day. I don't agree with everything the President does, but I believe he was the best candidate for the job.
  • &quot;I'm occasionally reading, I want you to know, in the second term."
  • Mumble mumble, tax cut, mumble mumble. That's about all I remember.
  • &quot;I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02 "I am truly not that concerned about him." - G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts, 3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02) If you were wondering why our policies after 9/11 seemed to have little or nothing to do with catching and prosecuting the perpetrators of that crime, there's your answer...
