Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

President didn't know there were different sects of Muslim's in Iraq that have been fighting each other for 1000 years. The only way you'll ever get peace in Iraq is to have them share the responsibilities. Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki wasn't willing to do do that and that's we have this flareup today.

Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

millions in the streets.. where?

Beginning in 2002, and continuing after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, large-scale protests against the Iraq War were held in many cities worldwide, often coordinated to occur simultaneously around the world. After the biggest series of demonstrations, on February 15, 2003, New York Times writer Patrick Tyler claimed that they showed that there were two superpowers on the planet, the United States and worldwide public opinion.


Europe saw the biggest mobilization of protesters, including a rally of three million people in Rome, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest ever anti-war rally

New York

300 buses and four special trains brought protesters in from across the country. 100,000 protesters (BBC estimate) took part in a rally near the UN building

As people tried to reach the rally area they ended up constituting an unplanned march, stretching twenty blocks down First Avenue and overflowing onto Second and Third Avenue. In total estimates range from been 300,000 to 400,000 protesters (WSWS estimate)

At a demonstration in Los Angeles, California, 50,000 (WSWS estimate) to 60,000 (GLW estimate) protesters (CNN said "thousands") marched down Hollywood Boulevard filling it for four blocks.


According to the French academic Dominique Reynié, between January 3 and April 12, 2003, 36 million people across the globe took part in almost 3,000 protests against the Iraq war

the reason is Obama is not trusted.. and should never be.. our allies know Obama doesnt have their back.. look at Syria?.. look at the Crimea.

GWBs word meant something and leaders could hang their hat on that..

Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

The millions out in the street protesting Bush's run up to war? The one he CHOSE to go into based on KNOWN faulty/slanted intell?

Millions out in the streets ?

You'll have to provide some photographic proof on that claim and provide proof with names that they were "qualified and smart."
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

only if certain security goals had been acheived.. to Obama that meant his election here... GWB was not leaving

As long as you say so, after all CONservatives (Dubya) have a LONG history of being on the wrong side of EVERY major issue facing the US since CONservatives stood with King George in 1776


DUBYA COOKED THE BOOKS TO INVADE ON FALSE PREMISES. WAS A HORRIBLE PREZ, ON EVERY SCALE...
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

Got it, an unwinnable war done on false pretenses was good. Obama following Bush's timeline was bad...

we won that war.. how is that "unwinnable"?... Obama was able to lose it ..

Nah, we'll just 'believe' CONservatives who have been on the wrong side of EVERY major issue facing the US since they stood with King George ion 1776

Dubya didn't do much different than most CONservatives have as Prez, they go by their 'guts' over fact based science, history or math...

We won the invasion, but like EVERYTHING Bush brought US, why am I not surprised you can't recognize facts and policies. The dumbing down of the right was galvanized with Dubya's election...

The Economic Consequences of Mr. Bush

The next president will have to deal with yet another crippling legacy of George W. Bush: the economy. A Nobel laureate, Joseph E. Stiglitz, sees a generation-long struggle to recoup.

The Economic Consequences of Mr. Bush | Vanity Fair



David Stockman, Ex-Reagan Budget Director: George W. Bush's Policies Bankrupt The Country


“(Reagan’s deficit policies) allowed George W. Bush to dive into the deep end, bankrupting the nation through two misbegotten and unfinanced wars, a giant expansion of Medicare and a tax-cutting spree for the wealthy that turned K Street lobbyists into the de facto office of national tax policy,” Stockman wrote.

You seem to be misinformed, were you one of the misinformed who voted for Obama ?

G.W. Bush is not a conservative, he's a neoconservative.

Do you know what a neoconservative is ? They use to be the liberal base of the Democrat Party.

You're definitely not a politico.
 
Re: Was George W Bush a good president?

no ... GWB won that war.. Obama lost it

What war? Give me a link. The invasion was based on false, biased intell to give Bush a reason to attack Saddam because he was mean to his Daddy!

Dubya had BOTH qualities, and yes, SOME Dems were NEOCONS, we called them Southerners, the GOP's base today!

NOPE, THEY WEREN'T THE 'LIBERAL' BASE' EITHER...

Senate Intel Report

The report found that these failures led to the creation of inaccurate materials that misled both government policy makers and the American public.

The Committee's Republican majority and Democratic minority agreed on the report's major conclusions and unanimously endorsed its findings.
