GIVE ME A FREAKIN BREAK

He needs to continue the war because is making CHeney and him rich!!!

Retreat! Retreat!!

The war is costing America its future. An average family of four is paying $19,000 for this war soon. As a member of a family of five who does not have enough money to pay for heating oil that is now at $3.65 a gallon. In addition, our schools, brigdes and road are falling apart and the death toll in Africa both from violence and AIDS is on the rise.

We are in a mess and this war is part of the series of bad judgements from Bush!

Bush is at it again with his vicious lies and cowboy mentality! After the mess Bush and his neocon idiots have made of this country he doesn't have the right to say anything. I can't wait till he crawls back to Crawford where he belongs.
It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for another Republican!

I find it interesting that there are only 2 (now 3) comments regading this story but over 200 for the McCain gaffe. GW has truly become irrelevant.

USA can conquer the world. Torture anyone who disagrees!

this shows you how ignorant Mccain is. how can we elect a person who does not know and understand the fundamental difference between the sunnis and shiites. Its just an unfortunate that ,that crazy president of Iran would walk with tthis to make his case about how ignorant our leaders are and the reasons for instabilities in the middleeast.

Since his daughters aren't in Iraq, he doesn't care how many get killed in a war that never should been started.He knows the war is
wrong, but HE DOESN"T CARE.

Can anyone say 'BIRD BRAIN'! Believe it or not, there are people that not only voted for his guy, but voted for him twice! Insult on top of injury if you ask me. Now these same people are going to vote again next year. That's what frightens me!

NO to McCain.

Complete incompetence. G.W. needs to be sent to the Hague.

Bush won't stop this war until every penny is squeezed out of the american citizen and into Cheney's pockets.

No…..

He needs to continue the war because as a world leader the United States can't leave Iraq high and dry. It is the right thing to do. All you people who want to "bring the troops home now" don't realize what kind of bloodshed would be caused.

It's ironic how the left think that conservitives are heartless. Go hug a tree and only be concered with our little island libs!

Lets see their kids over there, The war will stop in a heartbeat! Let them kill themselves not our families!

Disgust is all I feel any more whenever I see or hear from President Bush.

People say history will judge him…well, it ain't gonna be pretty!

Truely a good "bad example" of how NOT to lead a country.

who wants to listen to this guy anymore. He is like a mad cow. Tell him to send his dautgher and his causins. We have lost 4000 troops and countless of iraqi civilians. Say no to this idiot.

Does anyone even listen to what Bush has to say about anything these days? He can't even form a complete sentence. And, we've got Cheney over in the Middle East, still spewing his delusions that Saddam and bin Laden were buddies - contradicting his own DOD. These two should be in orange jump suits.

Of course it should Mr. President! Now that we are in it, we cannot leave r else it will be more catastrophe. But should we be in this situation today of even contemplating whether it should go on or not? Will you, Dick and Rumsfeld will ever have a clean conscious of the wrong doings and misleadings?

But I don't know if you three even know. I know that you know the some knowns, but there are so many unknowns, and then there are unknowns that are known and knowns that are unknowns about you even realizing the damage Iraq war has done to our country and to the world peace.

What is that evil Rumsfeld up to these days?

what determines a "win"? when all of our troops have died? come on now bush, get our troops the heck out of the middle east!!

Of course it does, his daughters aren't in it. He doesn't care how many
of our troops get killed, and he never will. The war never should have been.

Ok, if we're stupid enough to elect McCain a.k.a. WBush 2.0. We deserve everything that we will get with continuing this bleeding war. I also know that we as Americans are not the smartest people. We will be stupid enough to carry on this war with Insane McCain! People, let's stop running with the pack and really see what's going on here. The change starts in Washington and must be a major change. This old Washington BS is no longer working. We know that insanity is doing the same thing, expecting different results.

Obama or Clinton 08!

"The answers are clear to me"? It's become blatently apparent that NOTHING is clear to this president or his administration.

He needs to shut his mouth sorry I don't as a rule talk like this.This man along with his friends have RUINED america just look at the financial mess he has put us in.He is so out of the real world I just wish he woud go now sooner than later beefor the whole mess gets worse.

The profiteers are the 28% who want the war to continue. They are doing well at the public feed trough.

This, like the first war in iraq is only about one thing "OIL". Bush and Cheney do not, have not, and never will care about "freeing" the iraqi people. Its a good cover story and makes the ego of misinformed americans think thats what this war is all about . Since when does a more powerful country like the US care about the people in other countries? All the US cares about is exploiting the natural resources and cheap labor of lesser countries. Thats what caused the US to begin to exploit China.

The man is clueless. Totally clueless.

What else is he going to say, the war was a mistake and I'm sorry for all the lost lives, injuries, money, relationships and prestige. Oh by the way, I am happy for me, Dick and the rest of the gang.

This man has no conscience, and no feelings except for the rich. To say the surge is working is just ludicrous. Enough is enough, all we are doing is pouring money into Iraqie leaders that care less about their country. Come on, Bush, it is about the oil!!!!! And you need to take full responsibility for this mess we are in…. Do you really believe that the Americans are believing anything you say? You have lost your credibility with us just as you have lost America's credibility in the world. I hope that other countries do not think all Americans think like you do.

This guy must really be crazy, a war launched on the base of the biggest political lie ever made, WMD which never existed in this country, Bush wanted just a revenge after the war his dad had lost in 1991.
And now, despite the billions of dollars and almost the trillions to be spent, we need to continue this dumb war ??? Whouuuuu, this is a guy who lives in another planet, Gosh… !!!!

Just start the Draft.After the election of course.

A war in which only 4000 volunteer troopers died to free 26 million people from tryany. Another first for the history books..

That's it Shrub. Milk it for all it's worth.

Bush proves once again that he's never been in touch with reality. His hallucinogenic view of Iraq and the US has taken trillions of dollars out of the US economy. The Republicans have saddled us with a $10 trillion deficit, increased the national budget from $2 trillion in '02 to more than $3 trillion in '08, and sent our economy into the toilet. Of course this boondoggle is hurting the economy, but nowhere as much as the Republicans have with their cronyism, corruption, record number of earmarks, spending spree and ineptitude. It's time for them to go.

He needs to continue his war on the English language. "Why can't I learn-ificate these words!!"

After putting up the Wright story in big words and pictures for 5 days on this site, CNN has already managed a way to almost erase the important and unifying speech that Obama gave yesterday…

Shamless behaviour.

What a retard. Biggest mistake in American History = the courts electing this President.

I hate people who can't admit their mistakes. On a road trip, Bush would rather drive around the world than to admit he missed his turn. We're going to paying for this for a long time.

The sad part: Imagine what we could be doing with all the money.

306 days until our next exit!

the monkey speaks and says the war must go on lol delusional till the end huh bush.

IF PEOPLE VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN THEY WILL GET MORE OF THE SAME!!!!!!!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!

SENATOR CLINTON IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE EXPERIENCE AND TENACITY TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS!

SHE GETS MY VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

The show must go on as they say..
Just as long as its not the Presidents children, the children of congress or the legions of contractors getting killed and injured.

If we only had went into Cuba, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Russia, and Iran with the same gusto and "sacrafice"
Maybe our way of life and liberty as we keep hearing every day for the last five years would not only be preserved but spread to all these countries.

Clearly these countries especially China with its poisonous toys, dog food, and other cheaply made products pose a more immiment threat to the American way of life.

And maybe I could even be able to travel freely to Cuba and enjoy a Cohiba cigar.

Look around do you see anything that this war has been good for you. Do you feel free. This country is going broke and so are we. You have no idea what this is costing us in the future. How could americans put such a idiot in office. This man has faild in everything he touches. This country has the worst presedent ever. And those of you that voted for him needs to live with that. We need to hold him and Cheney accountable . Put them in prison for deciveing this country.

Can someone please tell me what there is to win in Iraq?

McCain said we should have stayed in Vietnam until we won. Won what? I'm afraid he may be trying to redo the Vietnam war vicariously through Iraq. Iraq for 100 years, invade Iran and then pick up again in Vietnam so we can "win". Can that man get along with anyone?

George W. Bush has re-defined the term "ignorant"

Blame Hillary and McCain along with Bush for this disaster. Support our troops for ending the war and bringing them home.

Obama 08

I bet none of those 4,000 dead were relatives of his. And I bet he and Cheney have made millions of personal dollars on this war. AND I bet if he believes in God like he has made a political platform of saying, he's got a lot things to answer at the pearly gates.

We need to end the war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's easy for him to say. Meet a real coward, every one.

What happened to "bring 'em on?" And Yes, Zoraida from Michigan. It has always been about oil. "Shock and stupid awe" was about oil. This cabinet has always been about oil.

The leadership of this was hijacked, plain and simple. He talks of executive privilege. This imposter was born privileged.

Just remember, a vote for McCain is another vote for Bush. Bush is a national disgrace!

"This is a fight America can and must win"

George we won it. Then you declared to a crowded room that you'll fight all comers indefinitely, "bring it on" I believe was the diplomatic terminology you used.

We won the fight to prove there were no WMD's.
We won the fight to remove Saddam Hussein.
We won the fight to have the Iraqi's establish an elective government.

The only fight we are losing is the one with common sense. We could have gone home victorious if we'd just managed the exit strategy better. We can pour troops and money into Iraq for the next 20 years, and it will still not be completely stable. But now that artificial goal of stability is our benchmark for "winning".

Nicely played, George.

Then when he leaves office, the first thing that should happen is that he be put on a plane, given an M-16 and put on the front lines.

The "Iraq War" is an invasion and occupation based on a conspiracy of lies. The Republicans have supported this from the beginning and continue to do so, contributing to our enemies' goal of bankrupting the US financially, not to mention the cost of American principles and standing in the world. The worst is the cost in blood and ruined lives. Why? So Bush could hang one man by proxy, enrich his cronies, and fulfill the neocon view of the world as American empire. Impeaching Cheney and Bush would be a step in returning to a government by the people and for the people.

I can't wait to hear what George Bush has to say on the fifth anniversary of "Mission Accomplished." Think he'll fly out to the USS Abraham Lincoln again on May 1?

His White House staff can dig out that old banner (they don't seem to be doing much else these days) and Bush can invite John McCain to join him on the deck of the Lincoln. Then they can both hold up the banner for a great photo op. Maybe Joe Lieberman can be there too!

This guy HAS NOT upheld the Constitution, and Congress should strongly consider some type of legal action.

McCain needs to distance himself if he has a praying chance of winning in November, and the Al Qaeda in Iran story doesn't help.

Thats just 4,000 American soldiers lives, and how about the TENS OF THOUSANDS of INNOCENT IRAQIS that have died and the soldiers of other nations.

I dont fault Bush as much as I fault Cheney and Rove.

THIS WAR HAS TO STOP!!!! PLEASE!!!!

Sombody stop this Mad man!

Right or wrong we are in Iraq now. What happened to American resolve to finish a job that we started? Is that resolve dieing with the generation that had to deal with threats like Hitler?

Yes, the cost is high, but we made a commitment and should stick to it. Nothing worth doing comes without a cost.

What is the definition of war?

"News Flash", Mr. President, the majority of Americans don't support your war–20/01/2009 won't be here soon enough. Is he trying to protect some sort of legacy? Someone please name one national or international accomplishment under this administration… I didn't think so! If he considers "suckering" us into a war which there's no end in sight, or running up billions and billions in debt an accomplishment, well…

CNN claims Obama achieved his goal with his speech. He achieved to Separate America. I am outraged at Obama. He needs to step down.

I HAVE SOME NEWS FOR PEOPLE! OBAMA HASN'T GOT A CLUE HOW TO FIX THE WAR!!!!!!!

HE ALSO HAS NO CREDIBILITY LEFT!

CAUSED BY HIS OWN LIES!!!!!!!

GO HOME TO PASTOR WRIGHT OBAMA!!!!!!!

HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO BELIEVES THE LIES!!!!!!!

MY VOTE GOES TO SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!

SHE WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!

Why is it so difficult to arrive at the number of Iraqi casualties that this war is responsible for? It seems as though both the Bush/Cheney regime and the US Media are carefully hiding this staggering figure. I personally believe that over 650,000 Iraqis have been slaughtered over the past 5-years.

The world is watching, and very concerned with the TOTAL casualty count!

I think his cheese slipped off his cracker a long time ago!

The very good reason that the war needs to be stopped is that Mr. Bush says it should go on. Can someone remember him being right on just one thing?

Another hitch in your giddyup, George? Cowboy diplomacy and the mentality - (or lack thereof on your part) - that follows died in the Old West. Take your horse and the cattle you call your administration and ride out of town permanently into the sunset. Adios!

Here is one topic where Bush and McCain agree on.

What's troublesome about McCain's gaffe is that he did not correct himself, it was Lieberman who corrected him. To say that you are the best qualified candidate to fight terrorism and then to make such a big mistake is unexcusable. Can McCain give an in-depth interview in which he will defend his knowledge in foreign politic, so we can actually really judge his qualifications. So far, he seems as biggot and ignorant as Bush was, and still is.

Unfortunately, the loss of American lives have only become a scale to measure our success in Iraq.

TO THE PRO-IRAQ "WAR" PEOPLE

You are so willing to sacrifice our American troops to protect another country's consititution and babysit another country's dysfunctional government.

Those troops are supposed to protecting the US Constitution!

Yet you dishonor our troops by allowing this BUSH/CHENEY/ROVE administration to convince you to give up your constitutional rights, (the SAME rights our men and women in the military or dying for!), by allowing them to approve the UN-American "Patriot Act" and allowing the reputation of the USA to be sullied by condoning torture.

"Stay the course in Iraq?" how about …

STAYING THE COURSE WITH THE US CONSTITUTION!

Shame on you!
God save us!

I would be willing to live with a little LESS security if it meant not comprimising our beloved Constitution!

Now THAT'S patriotism!

SENATOR CLINTON HAS GREAT POLL NUMBERS!!!!!!

THEY KEEP CLIMBING!!!!!!!!

SHE IS THE ONLY CAPABLE CANDIDATE !!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

McCain=Bush3.0, only less intelligent and more out of touch……….(if that's even possible)

Even the village was wise enough to let this idiot go! Go Riddance you good for nothing, nutcase.

Maybe soon enough we'll see him doing the jig on SNL as well.

Lastly, as a liberal I believe withdrawing the troops now would not be in America's best interests. They started the war so now they have to get Iraq to the point where they can handle their own affairs once we do withdraw our troops. Set a timeline and our guys out of there but let's be prudent about how we do it. We could first start off by not announcing our withdrawl dates to the world.

Obama 08!!!

Bush, has got to be the biggest liar on the planet. I can't believe that little monkey bastard still even shows his monkey face on tv.

I love how everyone blindly waves off Bush's policy as ignorance. Well, regardless of whether or not it was a mistake to go there, we are there now. I'm sure the Democrats will be brining up this "mistake" for the next 50 years if they think it will help them win arguments.

The point is, we're there now. What is the best thing to do going forward?

Leaving the country quickly sounds like a good idea at first blush. You get the immediate benefits of decreased defense spending, and less American casualties in the war.

But at what cost? Does anyone really know what will happen if we leave too quickly? Sure, we all surmise what might happen based on different exit strategies, but the reality is that you can't just arbitrarily leave - you have to be prepared for contingenies - and one of those contingencies might be that we have to go right back in to re-stabilize the place, which would probably be harder, and cost more money and lives. If that's a possiblity, then we should look at whether or not it's strategically smart and cost-effective to leave, or to just stay and finish the job.

It is time to wake up America, and vote on some one who will stop this war ( and didnt agree with it from the begining, or change his mind later) bring us together, and improve our economy, Obaha is the man.

Oh My GOD, he McCain and Hillary all for the war, look where we are, look where the poor people of Iraq are, look where our economy is going, look at the rest of the world, it all equals to: disaster
disaster.
he is one of the worst people walkign around in this world,

High cost of War , the high cost of oil, and the loss of American jobs good reason to stop the War.

President,

What a great noble thought!!!

You want to continue to make your and Cheney's oil, Halibutron and defense contract friends richer and push the avegrage citizens of this country onto street by creating an economic crisis by taking away all the tax payers money to fund this untruthful, unwanted, unjustifable war.

Who is the guy…….I would like to let the rest of the world know that we the people of America dont all think like this.

Brian from Chicago, obviously you don't have any family members fighting this senseless war in Iraq, because your an idiot. We should have never gone there in the first place.

What an idiot. All his foreign policy is doing is to create more terrorists and ill feelings of our nation. His opinion does not reflect that of "We the People."

Bring the troops home….Ron Paul for '08!

"No…..

He needs to continue the war because as a world leader the United States can't leave Iraq high and dry. It is the right thing to do. All you people who want to "bring the troops home now" don't realize what kind of bloodshed would be caused.

It's ironic how the left think that conservitives are heartless. Go hug a tree and only be concered with our little island libs!"

Feeling a little lonely now? How does it feel to be in the minority?

Bush hasn't been right for years, He has truely let the american people down. He is a sellout. Him and the rest of his little untouchable group. How much does he profit from this war? I think he is a billionaire now.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.

Bush is dillusional. He can't help the fact that he has the IQ of a possum which doesn't have enough sense to get out of the road when he sees a mach truck coming right at him.

Register Independent. No more Republicans. No more Democrats. No more BS.

Does bush seriously believe in his mind that Americans are better off for having invaded Iraq? I question his integrity, and since we cannot impeach him, I wouldn't rule out the possibility for his trial at an international war crimes tribunal.

WAR MONGER!!! It's time for Bush to pack his bag and head over to Iraq to fight his own war. No more innocent lives should be lost!

How does GWB breathe with his head so firmly wedged up his @ss? Let's not trade senility for stupidity in 2008 … say no the McCain!!

president bush is truely out of touch with the american people……..why would terrorists remain in a country with american troops? he gets sadam out of the picture so that he and his cronies have all the access to the oil rights in that country………….iraqs freedom what a joke…….the bigger the lie the more believeable……….who in their right mind voted for this war monger president…………..this president and his vp are insane………….i dont know why mccain is buying into this bs………i guess hes out of touch with america as well……………maybe we should all take a vote on the war in iraq in the general election………..send a message to washington………….

A war without end destroys a viable economy and moral order. Always has, always will. It's not the war that must go on, it is the Bush regmine that must go. Yesterday would not be soon enough.

The worst President of the United States elected to 2 terms by scared,uninformed Americans!!

McCain/Bush are like clones of each other. Both are not very bright and delusional. It will be a pleasure to have someone in the Whitehouse next year that has an IQ higher than their resting pulse rate.

We now have a president who doesn't have a clue, let's not elect another one. The next debate should put all the candidates in seperate rooms and without notes, so they can not hear each others answers. Then McCain and Obama can openly reveal their ignorance of the issues, without someone there to correct them. Vote for McCain get 4 more years of Bush, Vote for Obama and have Wright mentoring the White House.

Still, Iraq is surrounded, by even more dangerous. Leaders…. But' who are they??

Not as easy to find as Saddam was…

The only reason Bush wants the war to go on is to protect his legacy until he leaves office. As that happens, he can once again say "Absolutely, we're winning"

Oops!

No, he later corrected himself. "We're not winning; we're not losing."

And wipe his hands of his murderous war.

Is it just me, or does every bodys blood pressure go up when you hear Bush speak.

The war is obviously over oil - look how much the price has come down since the war began!

McCain is the best chance for the war to end in an acceptable, honorable way without relinquishing our security. I want our troops out of Iraq too, but we must be smart about this, not emotional.

I am laughing my so hard , I can't stop, I keep thinking is this what we call EXPERIENCE, if so Please for GOD sake give me someone with no experience, I rather take my chances. lol.

Obama/08

"five years later!" Wow Bush you really look old.

Hillary all the way

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK HILLARY OR MCCAIN IS POSSIBLY CAPABLE OF CLEANING UP THIS MESS THAT THEY CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE?

VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE'S THE ONE WITH THE SKILL AND JUDGEMENT THAT'S NEEDED AT THIS POINT!

This just goes to show you just how delusional Bush and the ENTIRE GOP is and has been the past eight years. This statement, along with McCain's gaffe on Iran just shows us more and more that the wars were started illegally - based not upon facts, but on rhetoric. The GOP wants to keep us in "Perpetual war for perpetual peace." 1984 anyone? Eurasia? Who is our war with? This is SCARY people! It's like the GOP read 1984 and thought that government was the GREATEST IDEA EVER! We need to oust these delusional madmen NOW! IMPEACH, TRY, AND PROSECUTE BUSH, CHENEY, and ALL INVOLVED!

The only person Bush cares about his himself

Cheny is just plain EVIL.

sorry- "is" himself…… (typo)

At least I admit my mistakes….unlike bush…

If the surge is so successful like Mc Cain and Bush have said, why can't we see an end in sight. The Republicans are famous for spouting false circular logic. The officials in Iraq are aware of the United States fragile economy and are addicted to the never ending funds available. Why not help the U.S. to go bankrupt. If they knew we were leaving, they would have to step up thier efforts. If not, too bad, they have been given enough time and support to get their act together. Bring our men and women home and put them to work securing our borders. Stop the never ending spending and corruption.

Obama is correct you need to not only be ready on day one but also right on day one. Unfortunately he is neither; he wasn’t right on day one when buying his home. He hasn’t been right on day one for over 20 years picking Rev. Wright.

What a hypocrite! I am black and I am switching to vote for Clinton–she deserves it.

Can ANYONE please tell me why he's given tv time, press time, any time from anyone…This buffoon needs to get the hell off my radio, tv, computer…The only hope for this country is someone who will end this Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove/Rice war and get our people home and our country mended.

What a complete moron. American allies have desperately tried to distance themselves from America because of Iraq. There is still huge world wide discontent. Iraq has opened a can of festering radical islamic beliefs which undoubtly will last for generations. The economy is falling apart. Yeah I call that a safer world. Please get rid of this babbling fool. PLEASE

Neither Obama nor Clinton has pledged to remove all troops even by the END of their first terms!!! Seems to me the answer isn't as easy as some here are suggesting, if even democrat candidates won't promise to leave within 4 years.

by Bryan:
He needs to continue the war because as a world leader the United States can't leave Iraq high and dry. It is the right thing to do. All you people who want to "bring the troops home now" don't realize what kind of bloodshed would be caused.

reply:
Have you ever heard of civil wars. all countries go through them and yes… lots of blood will be shed. Does that mean we need to fork out 10 million every month to pay for this not to happen in Iraq. Save our money and let them kill themselves if they want

This administration has brought our great country to its knees. The last thing I want to see on the news is King George trying to convince us all that we are safer. Give me a break! Our borders remain open, people come and go here freely without obeying our laws, we cannot take care of our people who are in desperate need (financially, medically, economically, or natural disaster), we have lost respect throughout the world, heck our government almost allowed our ports to be controlled by UAE, and now we have McCain running around on the king's coat tail trying to convince us all that this is what we need to do! I just thank God that I am a strong-minded individual, can see through this scare tactic smoke screen, and cannot be brainwashed by this HOG WASH!

I am with Leftnut!! People wake up……..we are ruining this beloved country. God Help us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,get these idiots out of Washington quick.
Oh my Gosh I wonder what it will be like in 10 years.
I am taking the first spaceship to Mars.

CHERYL…stop going from ticker to ticker posting the same pro-Hillary stuff. Polls are snapshots in time. Hillary is doing better in the polling of late, but not better than Obama. Once the media goes through Hillary's White House schedules, her joint tax returns, her congressional earmarks, and the Clinton donor library list, the polls will change again.

Obama in 08!

Since 911, Bush and Cheney have been spitting in the face of the American people for over seven years. Lying to us continuously and stealing and squandering our tax dollars. Sadaam Husien has never been caught and way too many of our sons and daughters have given thier LIVES, Thier LIVES to fight in a war that Bush and Cheney have set up with all of their lies. These men and women have fought for our country valiantly fulfilling their duties because thats what they are sworn to do. How can a leader stand up and face the American people knowing that HE lacks integrity and honor.

*Yawn* Oh, I'm sorry Mr. President. Did you say something?

Bush may WANT the war to continue, but he won't have control over that when this horse's rearend is finally out of the WH. No doubt, his people will spend the last year in power trying to erase all evidence of their illegal and immoral activites. It is my sincere hope that the pain and misery of the tens of thousands of people that Bush has killed will visit him nightly for the rest of his mortal life and that his name will live only in the mouths of the wicked until eternity erases him entirely.

Let's not forget that Bush is our employee. He works for us. It is beyond me that this man is still in office. This country was ready and willing to impeach Clinton for having an affair but people are so afraid to touch Bush, the war criminal. Why? Doesn't add up to me. This man's decisions are already paving the way for the abysmal future of America.

Big rah rah speach from an idiot that says war is "Romatic". How sick is that ???????. I am still waiting to see his military records and how much he missed.

Well, I will say Bush is consistent if nothing else. Consistently making the wrong decisions! This war is draining America. It is having a direct effect on our economy. We do not have an unlimited supply of money to keep spending billions of dollars in Iraq. Bush is out of touch with everyday Americans whom are struggling to keep their homes, to feed their families and to put gas in their vehicles!

Bush, if you feel so determined to keep the war going, then allocate your personal funds to keep it going. Everyone knows you are an oil billionaire!

Why does the so-called enlightened progressives want to desert poor Iraqi's fighting for their human right to self rule? Is their motto now, get there on your own or don't get there at all??

TheLeftNut: Right ON!! Spoken like a TRUE American!!!

this time next year new U.S. president = different update; I hope

We were much safer from a terrorist threat before this war rather than right now. It's a cycle as old as World War the First itself- we support dictatorships for the sake of profit of corporations, and then when the President's approval rating drops or when they're no longer convenient, we go after those same dictators for "human rights".

The only way for this country to move forward is to realize that we are not the "good guy" by default. That's decided by your actions.

Pink elephants can fly too when your delusional!

Was Dora the Explorer on a commercial break????

Wouldn't it be something if Americans could muster a fraction of the outrage expressed over Jeremiah Wright for the illegal occupation of Iraq that has resulted in 1,000,000 dead Iraqis and 4,000 dead Americans? Anyone hear about the Winter Soldier Conference where Iraq War veterans described in graphic detail the crimes and atrocities they witnessed and committed themselves, the rampant racism coming from the top down? Probably not, because CNN and the rest of the mainstream press ignored it.

Still in denial? well, now we are paying the price!

Obama Supporter, I have only one thing to say to you, there are skeletons in all of our closets and when you find out just how many in Hillarys you might change your mind again. I am a Black Woman and my mom always told me that we can be our worst enemy now I see exactly what she means.

Bush:

It's our money, man. Stop playing God with our tax dollars. I refuse to let my tax money go towards killing middle eastern people half way around the globe. This is absolute insanity.

President Bush,

This man writes check that Ameica can not afford, write policies that favors his life long friends.

His has allow his friend to abtain more no bid contract in the Billions than any other President in our History.

Thank you Mr. President for Bankrupting America.

The mission is to:

1. Capture the WMD. (none there)

2. Revenge 9-11 (oops, they weren't there either)

3. Overthrow Saddam (mission accomplished)

4. Establish democracy (done)

5. Succeed (what does that mean???)

McCain's gaff shows he's too old for the responsibilities of being President. That's the kind of mistake the elderly make when they don't have enough stamina and are suffering from fatigue. We don't need a bumbling President. If blood is going to be shed, better theirs than that of our sons and daughters. We are sick of rich men and their stupid wars and their costs to American lives.

Hey "W", what happened to the WMD's that fueled the premise of this war? Five years, trillions of dollars, economy in dire straits, military casualities up in the thousands and nothing to show for it. I wonder how many Iraqi's think life is such a parade with Saddam gone? The dollar losses value everyday around the world and our national image does too. American blood is the most expensive currency on the planet and you continue to spend it unwisely. Crawford is calling and America will be glad you are no longer at the helm.

war mongering fool! I'm so mad that I am GOP and see my party hijacked by these neo-con globalists. this is a clear path that has been going on with his father then Clinton and now this guy. and the next POTUS will be no better. all are globalists and march to the drums of the corporate/banking elites.

This is hardly even news, because he will just repeat his self and it is fully predictable what he will say.

Repeating the same thing over and over and hoping that by doing so the public will start to think his viewpoint is a truth.

Congress should have enacted a gag order.

As long as we have statist/Keynesian minded politicians in Washington (and with the three front-runners, it looks like this will continue) we can expect this war and more like it to contiune. Yes, you all are mad at Bush, especially in the Obama crowd, but you are fooling yourselves if you think anything different is going to happen.

I'd gladly fund a week long hunting trip for him and Cheney in TX, hell I'd even buy the ammo for Cheny at this point. I now understand the second part of the famous Thomas Jefferson quote: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Man look at that pic. He looks brow beaten.

Hey Cheryl and other Hillary supporters, the choice is simple:

Hillary Clinton is nothing more than a victim.

Barack Obama is a proven leader.

Bush is a true terrorist! Every time he talks to us and tries to push his points he uses fear. Think about it, what is the last thing he pushed for where he didn't use threats like they will follow us home, they will take over, etc…

With:

McWar I mean Mccane: 100 years of war.

Billary: Voted FOR the war.

Obama: The ONLY one that has been against the war since "day one"!

He would say to continue the war because he is the one who started for no reason. If he accepts his mistakes then he will be sued once he leaves office for lying to American people. He started this war on lies and distortion for personal reasons.

During 'Nam it was "Waist deep in the big muddy, and the Big Fool says
push on." Now with W in Iraq it's "Waist deep in the sand, and the Little
Fool says push on." Those that don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it, and thus cause untold suffering to others. Impeach Bush and Cheney!

And we wonder why America is hated around the world? Stop meddling in other country's affairs!!

Bush's war does NOT have to go on. He is too stupid to realize that once he is out of office he has no control over it.

I see screaming cherly is in the house…. Wanting to trade one crook for another…. Give the caps a break billary supporters we see your highly misguided remarks…. gesh!!!!

Well of course the show must go on! This is a war that was waged on misinformation,wether intentionally or not we will never know for sure.The arrogance of a president that will justify a war that was waged for all the wrong reasons ,is ubforgivivable.He will play on the emotions of the families whose children and loved ones have given thier lives valiently,for the sheer purpose of his own pride.Because of this arrogance he cannot find a way to say that he put American lives at risk without any reason but what appears to be personal gain. He took advantage of those who would go to the ends of the earth and bravely give thier lives for the country they love so dearly.While they did not die in vain because of the love and dedication for thier country.And while they may have fallen on a battlefield not of thier choosing,we will alway's hold in esteem thier bravery.It is truly unfortunate that this case of ignorance by this adminstration, will never be tried anywhere but in the course or public oppinion.For brave men and women layed down thier lives for thier country,Wether right or in this case wrong.We will think of them when history recalls. Not the selfish monarch for love of his own legacy,who would not yield to reason niether for the love of God ,or his fellow country men.Would that he were to fight his own ignorance on a battlefield ,than for any more brave americans.But pride and arrognce knows no limit and see'e not the light of the dawning of reason.May God have mercy on us all!

Impeach this moron before it is too late.

And he is the same alleged President who refuse to feel that he owes the American people an apology for driving this country in the hole. He is also in denial of his declining mental status.

President Bush is probably the greatest President in American History & his administration is the best. Help me God.

Whatever Bush says, do the complete opposite.

RealityKing, only 4,000 died? You make it sound so insignificant. Furthermore, that figure completely ignores the number of Iraqis killed. It also ignores the amount of money and support the United States must continue to dump into Iraq to support this war/occupation. How many more trillions are we going to spend? How much more debt are we going to rack up? How long must we remain in Iraq to make sure it is secure? Can we ever make it secure?

This man should be convicted of war crimes. I can live with my commander and chief sending me off to war to defend the rights of Americans what I can't live with is how he treats my fellow veterans when we return. He should be in a prison this very moment making new friends, my partnership with you sir has ended.

a couple of responses:

To the people talking about Bush sending his daughters over, and how the war would end immediately:

I seem to remember a certain Prince from Britain being in Afghanistan a few weeks ago, and being in combat. Last I checked, Britain still had a military prescence there, so that idea has very little merit.

To TheLeftNut, about supporting the US Constitution:

Does that mean that if Hillary or Obama (whichever ends up to be the Democratic nominee) wins the election in November, that you'll accept McCain as the Vice-President? That's in the constituion too, as originally written. (look it up, the runner-up was supposed to take the office of VP up until the 12th amendment, a policy I wholeheartedly support)
Personally, I'd love to see members of both major political parties holding those positions, because it might mean that we might have more widely-supported actions, and none of this partisan nonsense

We will miss you Mr President. Many awful things has happened in the last eight years to our country and I know you have done your best in righting the wrongs. History will judge your time in office. Liberal hatred will not. I and many americans have respect and appreciating for your time in office. Enjoy life outside the white-house and thank you for all you've done. Take good care of youself and thank you again.

Bush's head whistles in a crosswind. Failed foriegn and economic policies are all this administration is capable of. Somebody show this cloud ranger from Crawford the door………………………..
