Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

Going off false intelligence is a good war time president?

Bush was just following the law that President Clinton signed into law, the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998.

But some of the Democrats didn't want to uphold the law that Clinton signed into law, remember ?

So they (Bush administration) went with the WMD route knowing that libs were still scared with Muslims having WMD's.
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?


Bush 43 went to war with Clinton's military like Bush 41 went to war with Reagan's military.

Remember Sec. Rumsfeld response was about the body armor ? I believe the words were "You go to war with the military you have." That was Clinton's military.

I feel sorry for the next CnC who ever it will be with what is left of our military. Obama is still in office and it's already his military. Nothing to laugh about.
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

No he sucked.

If one is an anti gun, rich hating far left socialist that despises our military, I suspect I can see that position.

His Justices are far more intellectually capable than Clinton's and CLinton's are more respected than Obama's

Yea he followed the law. Good for him. But what were the two main reasonings on why we invaded the county? WMDS (FALSE), and CONNECTIONS TO AL-QAEDA (FALSE). Wow what a good "war time president" get your country involved in a war (or conflict whatever rhetoric you want to use) based off false reasoning!

I knew better that it had nothing to do with WMD, oil or Al Qaeda but Sadam was training and supporting other terrorist.

Iraq sheltered the Abu Nidal Organization, an international terrorist organization that has carried out terrorist attacks in twenty countries, killing or injuring almost 900 people. Targets have included the United States and several other Western nations. Each of these groups have offices in Baghdad and receive training, logistical assistance, and financial aid from the government of Iraq.

In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers.

Body armor is completely new to me. We didn't complain in Vietnam because we didn't have body armor. All we had were stinking flak jackets and if you were lucky they might stop a grenade fragment. Otherwise they slowed you down and you made grunting sounds when humping in the bush. Grunts grunted back then.

Some of us wonder how todays body armor would work out in Vietnam when it's 120 degrees with 80% humidity ?

The problem is, nobody has been able to figure out how to defeat IED's.
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

And Dicky Chaingang put 'em in there, didn't he?

>>Remember Sec. Rumsfeld response was about the body armor ? I believe the words were "You go to war with the military you have."

And what the hell was it doing in Iraq at a force level well beyond 100K? More to the point, how long did it take Donny Dumbsfeld to figure out BEFORE the invasion that we would need a lot more body and vehicle armour? Too long for some now in the ground or severely wounded, eh? The Chicken Hawks wanted into Iraq with their big invasion force for EIGHTEEN MONTHS before the war started. Great planning.

But being a good war time president doesn't mean that the right tactics or strategy were used. More with earning the respect of the troops who serve under your command and giving a **** about the troops.

You claim Obama doesn't care about the troops. I say that's completely absurd nonsense. And, no, I don't care how many people in the military agree with you — I'd say you have to be an outright idiot to think that he doesn't care.

And yeah, battlefield strategy and tactics are typically not presidential decisions, but how about a decision to invade a country that was no threat to us? I always say I don't really blame Bush — it was that NAZI pile of crap, Dicky Chaingang that manipulated him into it. Chaingang and Dumbsfeld should be despised by the US military.

Nice rant-when you call Cheney a Nazi you pretty well have Godwinned yourself out of having any further posts on this subject taken seriously.

It appears that Bush Derangement Syndrome is an issue your posts are infected with
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

Overall a slight yes. He wasn't too good on spending but he was a serious leader that made good decisions with respect to foreign policy.
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

Nope worst chief executive and head of state in the history of all first world democracies.

LOL drama much? Bush will be rated higher than Obama and Carter for sure. I know that really upsets people like you. But tell me-what causes so severe a case of BDS?
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

Greatest presidents

FDR, Lincoln, Kennedy, Clinton

Worst presidents

No way. Bush is the worst. If there is a president worse than him, he hasn't been born yet.

LOL

why do you claim to be right leaning on the above poll?

worst presidents in terms of incompetency

Harding, Grant, Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Carter (Obama hasn't finished yet)

worst presidents in terms of damage to the USA

FDR, Wilson, LBJ, Hoover, Truman



Most overrated Presidents-20th Century

Kennedy-his assassination elevated him from average to "great" in most minds

Most underrated president -20th Century

Gerald Ford

that is about as accurate as your claim to be right leaning in the poll
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

He was the most comical president for sure. I use to love watching him give a speech for the lol's.

FDR, Lincoln, Kennedy, and Clinton are consistently rated as the greatest

Bush, nixon, Buchanan, and Hoover are consistently rated as the worst.

The fact that you don't considered W as one of the worst shows what a complete partisan hack you are. Seriously we were probably better off not having a president for those 8 horrible years. I don't believe in god, but if I did I would ask god the question what did americans do to deserve a presidency as bad as bush's.

Technically I am a conservative compared to you. I don't collect welfare and post on message boards all day with my obamaphone.

rated by whom and on what grounds? liberal historians love FDR. even conservative historians give him high marks for getting his agenda enacted.

your rants about Bush demonstrate terminal Bush Derangement Syndrome. CLinton is not rated as the greatest-that is a bald faced LIE. Harding and Grant are rated below Bush and Nixon. rating a president within a few years of his presidency is bogus.

He was an embarrassment to America. Now all foreigners think that americans are mildly retarded because of bush.

Thank a look at some of these rankings and tell me there is bias. Almost all rankings have bush in the fourth quartile, except right leaning WSJ. FDR is in everyone's top 3 though.

who does the rankings? historians. Remind me what party most teachers belong to?



and even those biased polls don't rate Clinton as great so you were fibbing there

We had a chance to properly supply the troops. We didnt. "Great wartime president" :roll:

You don't get high rankings for getting you agenda enacted. Bush got all his agenda enacted and he is the worst by any metric.
