Bully come on. The mission was accomplished. The troops on the aircraft carrier were going home. Major operations in Iraq were over. They've been over for years.
But completing one mission doesnt mean the war is over.
Chimpy said that major combat operations in Iraq were over on that day. Since then, more than 2,000 US service men and women have died. He was either pollyanishly optimistic, or willfuly ignorant of the situation on the ground in Iraq. Either case shows him to be unfit to be C in C.
Problem is you guys have been claiming its all lies since President Bush took office. Conveniently they werent lies during the Clinton administration. They just became "lies" because President Bush was actually going to take care of the problem rather than just rattle saber for political position.
But in order for their to be lies, he has to have lied about something. Simply repeating the mantra "Bush lied" doesn't prove it.
Why has Chimpy and Co's rationale for the invasion of Iraq changed some 27 times? Why was the British government worried about Chimpy and Co's "...the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy..."?
here is a thorough listing of Chimpy's flip-flop's, disingenuousness, prevarication and,...yes...lies <a href =http://www.failureisimpossible.com/needtoknow/lies.htm>Bush Lies</a>
The Authorization for the Use of Military Force giving the President power to wage war against terror and any nation that supports terror isnt a declaration of war? The Iraq resolution authorizing the use of force to remove Saddam's regime for their support of terror isnt a declaration of war?
Tell me what exactly do you call bills that authorize the President to wage war? Declarations of "Let's be friends with these people by sending are military in to destroy them?"
Call it whatever you want, Congress has authorized it.[/QUOTE]
Soooo solly! That no makee declaration of war. No credible link between Saddam and Osama has ever been demonstrated, let alone proven, despite right wing-nut claims to the contrary.
Oh please, you have the audacity to lecture anyone on the principles of this republic when you oppose everything it stands for and actively support our enemies? The President isn't tossing aside the Constitution by exercising his inherent powers as commander-in-cheif. and I am sick and tired of holier than thou types such as yourself trying to actively rob the President of his constitutional powers and prevent him from fulfilling his responsibility to protect us just so you can blame him when something happens in an elaborate scheme for your own personal power.
Someone has to since some here obviously fail to grasp even the most rudimentary principles as laid down in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If anyone is robbing anyone, it is Chimpy and Co in their attempts to justify a unitary executive branch which is a law unto itself. And I got no "schemes for personal power". What deliusion did you pull ythat from?
President Bush has served alot more people than you ever will. Remember back to the first Presidential debate? The media declared John Kerry the winner despite a number incredibly naive and deadly campaign promises. Why? Because Senator Kerry spent all day sitting in a salon getting his nails down while President Bush was out working with the people of Florida to rebuild after a hurricane disaster.
So please, by all means keep supporting the candidates who care more about their personal image then helping out the people and doing what's right to protect and rebuild America. Because actions speak a heck of alot louder then empty rhetoric.
Yeah buddy! He's served every high powered, big money interest ever tapped him on the shoulder like some crack whore turning tricks in doorways and back-alleys.
As for myself, I serve people every day...treating patients, comforting them and their families, helping them recover their health.
As for Chimpy helping rebuild Florida, houses and neighborhoods still stand vacant, blue tarps instead of roofs. And don't even mention the ongoing post-Katrina debacle.
