George W. Bush Secretly Visits Fort Hood Victims

Not sure how that shows -he- wasn't human.

Protecting America from idiocy is not an easy job. He took it deadly seriously.

What is inhumane is tying the hands of our troops, of our intel services, and then pissing in their faces. Telling the world the war is lost, that they are themselves committing acts of terror, are Nazi's, and rapists. All from the mouths of the left's leadership.

Bush has always been a good man. I didn't like a lot of his domestic economic agenda, but on protecting us, he was right on the money.

Tell me, after 911 how do you defeat the terrorist scum?
Tell me, has a war, and we were attacked, ever been won on the defensive? Through the courts?

It's not like 911 was the first time we were hit by the scum. We had a finger waving president telling the terrorists he would get them... what did he do? Shot missiles into a hillside...

I'd just give up Arch. I see the point you're making and somewhat agree, but they just see "not human" and "Bush" and immedietely assume you mean Bush Bashing, the war was unjust, he lied people died, etc etc etc. Immedietely defensive. No matter how much you explain they're not going to actually READ your words, they're just going to see them and interprit what they want.

I agree with you that on matters of defense, Bush handled things quite well. I thought he handled the 9/11 attacks and the war in Afghanistan well. I didn't agree with the invasion of Iraq, but despite that I can't find a lot of fault with how he handled it.

I couldn't stand the way he handled most domestic issues though. I hated the fact that he seemed to think that his own personal beliefs should dictate policy. Even so, I don't think he was a bad person, just a bad president.

Going to visit the victims of the Fort Hood attack was a good thing to do, and I commend him for it.

They went out of concern and in respect of our Military without the fanfare and cameras like you can count on Obama to take full advantage of in his constant and continuous self aggrandizement. Obama will do everything he can to make it all about himself as he has everything else he's been involved in.
I doubt seriously that you will ever hear Obama admit the Hasan was acting as an Islamic terrorist. And would never sign a death warrant that will be required when he is found guilty of murder. Obama will no doubt site some BS how this poor misunderstood Hasan was confused and was picked on. BOO HOO big deal.
your attempt to politicize this is uncalled for. and your equally pathetic attempt to link obama with terrorists is contemptible.
 
My post did not in any way refer to anything political or any political position.
It is you who are trying to politicized this act of compassion. I simply pointed out that some people care more about other people than they do about their own image. It's about the measure of a man and his integrity. Something Obama lacks.
Politically I have over the years disagreed with GWB more than almost anyone in the office, until now.
I feel it's important that everyone do a little reading and study into how to comprehend what you read so that you can stop projecting your automatic defense of what was not said. Your knowledge of Obama's lack of genuine concern over anything not Obama related is what caused you to do this. It's kind of sad.
YES IT DID. how disengenuous.

Post 911 what do you do with a lingering threat.?

12-years, 16 ignored UN resolutions, known to use WMD, kicked out UN Inspecteurs de la Sortie pour le WMD, and trying to assassinate a former president?

Bush went to the UN, he gave Saddam a last chance to come clean. Had he balked after doing this, the standard Clinton move... balk and walk... the idiots of the world would have been empowered beyond belief.

You cannot win a war on the defensive or by Clinton-styled cowering... passing everything to the corrupt UN.

That Saddam wanted war... was his choice. That terrorists flooded in wasn't a bad thing as we had a battleground to centralize a lot of them, their efforts, and defeat them.

I couldn't stand the way he handled most domestic issues though. I hated the fact that he seemed to think that his own personal beliefs should dictate policy. Even so, I don't think he was a bad person, just a bad president.
I didn't like his spending.

I take it you wouldn't have liked George Washington either. Or John Adams.

Bush was a great president where it counted most. National security.
He took a hell of a lot of flak, but he stayed the course.

When he ran for office, he told you where he stood. He didn't hide it... or lie about it unlike Clinton and Obama.

Going to visit the victims of the Fort Hood attack was a good thing to do, and I commend him for it.
I believe it is totally consistent with his character.

America being huge, diverse, a tremendously open society with borders... amazingly porous presents a huge challenge for security. The kooks only need one good day. After 911, Bush had some huge decisions to make, and he made them. We weren't hit at home again... until last week.

What caused it?
Political correctness. We let our guard down, looked the other way once and look what happened.

You write as if to deny or at least excuse that 911 happened on GWB's watch.
 
YES IT DID. how disengenuous.

Are you actually referring to my comments about Obama's religious leanings and personal lack of concern and insensitivity as being political?
Here's was I said if it will help you recall the facts. These comments never referred to Obama being a Socialist/Communist or anything other than his personal attitude based on observations that make them clear even to a blind follower.
And would never sign a death warrant that will be required when he is found guilty of murder. Obama will no doubt site some BS how this poor misunderstood Hasan was confused and was picked on.

Also when it Comes to Obama's whole persona is it's all about me. And it's not political it's a major character flaw.
Look at the fact that it took him almost a full two minutes to mention the terrorist attack while giving a speech that day.
If that's not enough to show that my assessment is spot on look at the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down. As much of the free world was celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall we sent Hillary Clinton to represent us. What did she talk about? The contributions made to the fall by a US President Named Reagan who was in much of America and many elsewhere in the world instrumental in the ultimate demise. Hell no he never came up. She said, "I have the pleasure to introduce a man who tore down different kinds of walls. Including walls of racial intolerance", Barack Hussein Obama, then a video of Obama was shown and he never mentioned Reagan either.
Obama's theme song should be "It's all about Me" DRU HILL "ITS ALL ABOUT ME" I think it sux but it fits.

Say what?
Disney... you really have too take it easy with the Kool'Aid.

I could handle your other blather, but this my friend is just nuts.
Borderline seriously ill.

Funny....I had the same reaction to your post :doh

Yeah. I already gave up.

Pearl Harbor happened on FDR's watch.
What's your point?

i'm referring to your need to disparage obama while claiming to honor bush. 2 different circumstances.

of course, you know that.
 
your attempt to politicize this is uncalled for. and your equally pathetic attempt to link obama with terrorists is contemptible.
OK, I'm confused. The public actions of a sitting President, and a former president at an event the includes the press and public speeches is in some manner, not fair game for political discussion? Isn't this somewhat akin to saying that a bordello is no place to discuss sex?

by the way, a dull child could link Obama with terrorists, at least as an enabler, it takes brilliance however to contrive an imagined discontinuity.

I like Bush. His heart is in the right place and once he makes a decision, he doesn't back down - he sees it through.
 
He paid great respect to Obama by not drawing any publicity.

Well I'm sure Clinton went......

oh, never mind. He's busy finding new ways to get our Satellite and missile technology to China for campaign contributions
 
This was a good thing Bush did, but why do you feel the need to politicize it? It had nothing to do with other than a kind act on the part of Bush.

President Obama is the President for goodness sake, he has other things to attend to that are as important, Bush no longer does.

Amazing the level of partisanship.

Its shining a bright light in contrast to what a former president does and what a current president should have done.
 
Sentencing hundreds of thousands of people to their death (whether that is the intention or not is not important) can only be a function of the state, or the office in this instant, not of human or individual.

So Churchill wasn't human I guess. Or Roosevelt or Truman.

Hell, or Washington or Lincoln for that matter.


Your analogy is so full of holes it boggles the mind.

Good guy, that GWB.

I think history will judge Bush as a very good president.........Much better then Clinton or Hussein Obama...........
 
Presient Bush visited the wounded at Walter Reed many times without fan fare or the media there unlike our present president who never saw a camera he did not love............
