Uhm, no . . . he couldn't even attack the Kurd area. You really think he could've attacked Israel? With what weaponry? Let me guess, the WMD that could've hit Europe in 45 minutes?

He probably wouldn't be successful at it, but all it would take is an attempt on his part to cause a war.

And it would take Israel less than 6 days to shut him down, we've been there 6 YEARS.

There really was a six day war back in 1967 (not with Iraq) I think, but that was then. The times are different now. We're there and we will stay there, and that's what you're not comprehending. It was that way post WWII. We went to Germany, fought in Germany, and stayed there, as well as other European countries. Bush is not getting enough credit for his actions in Iraq. Personally, I think Bush was way underrated and Obama is way overrated. C'mon, the dude got praised like he saved the whole fking world before he even made it to the white house.

I said that to make a point. I'm glad you at least got the reference, so why do you seem so uneducated about what is going on now?

I give Bush credit, credit for killing innocent Iraqi civilians. Credit for becoming the aggressor and making military moves based on false accusations. Credit for making America the laughing stock of the world. Credit for taking a balanced budget with a surplus, and turning it into a financial crisis. Is that the type of credit you think he deserves, because that is all the credit I will give him.

There is no evidence whatsoever that he had the ability or even the intention to attack Israel. There was more evidence that WMD was in Iraq and he could've sent the WMD to europe in 45 minutes, which was all false and close to lies.

Yeah, it was then. Who's to say what would happen in the future. kstar doesn't have a fcking clue. We've got bases set up in Iraq now, and we're not leaving. So far this has been the most expensive war in U.S. history, and right now, people don't agree. I can't say I'm all for every decision Bush has made, just like any other president. What I am saying is, this all seems fcked up now, but I think people will appreciate what he did in the future. You also have to take in account that the govt. isn't going to tell us everything. They know a whole shit load of stuff we'll never know. Bush wanted to go in and root out terrorism, and he started with Iraq. I think he should have started with Saudi Arabia. Those assholes are no allies of ours. Most of the countries in the mideast hate the U.S. anyway. Who was responsible for 911? Those guys were all fking Saudis, dude. What did you expect Bush to do? Sit on his hands and do nothing? Those fkers in the mideast have been fighting over the same bullshit since the beginning of time. I would like to take out that whole region. They're fcking evil.

I'm amazed . . . truly amazed.
