Bush Speech

[biker]

Without waiting for the pundits to weigh in, my opinion is that this was a very good speech.

Especially at the end: "Our enemies are brutal. But they are no match for the men and women of the US military."

[citymouse]

While that may be true, speeches don't bring back the dead boys and girls or stop their mothers from crying.
It's not very comforting to know that your child died freeing a people who use that same said freedom to kill somebody elses kid with a road side bomb.
Kind of takes the glory out of it.

Those brave men and women died protecting America from an evil which will visit our shores again if it's not eradicated.

[Chancellor Qu'noH]

Freedom isn't free! It has always been and always will be payed for in Blood.

If we were not over there do you think for one minute they would not be over here. Now I do not agree with the methods they are using but fighting them outside of our borders is much more perferable.

Ok Dove's its open season..... I am not a war monger, But I do certainly believe their is a line you cross and get you *ss kicked. Also that this country sould be doing '' A LOT" more of it!

During last year's Presidential campaign, the main stream media was all giggly over those surveys saying most Americans didn't support the war in Iraq. They must've had a new one every week.

Every time, I wondered how many of the "don't approve" were those who thought we weren't aggressive enough?

How many thought we should have finished the job in Fallujah in April instead of pulling the Marines out?

So, if you combine the "support the President" with the ones who wanted him to be even more aggressive in eliminating the terrorists, I bet the poll would've showed over 75% supporting the overall strategy.

But strong support for the President on anything wasn't on their agenda last year.

Fortunately, the only poll that counts came out right.

Look guys, America want blood, revenge after 9/11 now that we are getting what we wanted you cry about it. I don't care who we hit after 9/11 so long we hit someone and iraq was in our way so, live with it. And for all you young boys stop crying and go join the Amry and go fight....

Bush's speech was all about telling you we are there and we are staying there until the job is done...what Bush needs to do is to close all those boarders in iran and seria to stop those fighters from coming into iraq..if I could go back I would in fact, I asked to be sent back but the Marine Corps said that's but no thanks. At least I tried to get back into the RUSH !!!!

Stop crying and start supporting your troops or you will see more emotional boys damaged beyond repair like I am.

The open borders with Iran and Syria continues to puzzles me.

Two weeks after the war was over, noises were being made about how maybe we should keep going inot Syria and finish the job.

But Colin Powell, firmly captured by the white shoe crowd in the State Dept, went out of his way to travel there and say "No, we won't."

Too bad. We wouldn't have half the terrorist problem in Irag we do now. We would have captured the rest of the "Deck of Cards" Ba'ath scum. And we probably would have found the WMD that have been missing.

Oh look, there's the WMD right here in the US.

Maybe Bauerle's show today might be of interest to you.

He's disclosing that Terry Nichols is admitting a Middle East link for the first time with the OK City bombing.

I guess your post was more accurate than you thought.

While that may be true, speeches don't bring back the dead boys and girls or stop their mothers from crying.

Words are cheap - and so is his treatment of ex-veterans.

(The V.A. recently reported a $1 billion deficit in the FY '06 budget.)

'I had the opportunity to go out to Goree Island and talk about what slavery meant to America. It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America. America is what it is today because of what went on in the past.'

'It's hard to be successful if you don't make something somebody doesn't want to buy.'

It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas. [now we know why US attacked Iraq.]

The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case.

Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods. [I wonder what he would call the "foreign oil" - trans-hemispheric?]

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together. [duh! and huh?]

I understand small business growth. I was one.

We don't believe in planners and deciders making the decisions on behalf of Americans. [no wonder US is where it is now]

This is Preservation Month. I appreciate preservation. It's what you do when you run for president. You gotta preserve.

Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness. [i wish my boss thought so too]

You can't put democracy and freedom back into a box. [i agree. you can only blast it out of existence]

Wowee, there's a fresh angle: Republican Presidents are idiots.

[avet]

In a recent report the Lovenstein Institute *1 of Scranton, Pennsylvania detailed its findings of a four month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush. Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published its research to the education community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ" report among others.

According to statements in the report, there have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F.D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush who were all rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they alone produced without aid of staff, their ability to speak with clarity, and several other psychological factors which were then scored in the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking.

The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points:

147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)

132 Harry Truman (D)

122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)

174 John F. Kennedy (D)

126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D)

155 Richard M. Nixon (R)

121 Gerald Ford (R)

175 James E. Carter (D)

105 Ronald Reagan (R)

98 George HW Bush (R)

182 William J. Clinton (D)

91 George W. Bush (R)
