Charlie's Interview with President Bush

He still is the worst President in the history of the United States of America. He still does not know it, let alone understand it. Good riddance!

Sargent is correct, and Gibson carried more than his share of the water.

Too bad Bush did not listen to his church, United Methodist, when Jim Winkler, head of social justice wrote him a letter before Bush declared war.

The letter said there was no evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction pointed at ant country. Winkler wanted the US to work with France and other countries to find the weapons.

Winkler told Bush that the war was against the teachings of Christ. He reminded Bush that the the people of Iraq were already in bad conditions.

Instead Bush/Cheney have killed over a million innocent people. 4,200 US military and millions of wounded military and civilians.

In 2006, Winkler called for the impeachment of United Methodist Church members Bush & Cheney

Jen - First of all, I was asserting that historically, geographic barriers ward off attacks. And the Atlantic Ocean has most certainly provided a good barrier, something which the European countries could have used in their post 911 terrorist attacks. In respect to the national tragedy of 911, which occurred under Bush's watch, many have suggested with credibility that it could have been prevented. During his vacation time in Crawford in Aug. of 01, he did receive a specific memo that Bin Laden was attempting to a mass attack on the US and could use hijacked plans as a means. As the result of a perhaps avoidable tragedy, the security of national ann international flights has been improved as it should have been. But it was belated. I'm not aware of significant security improvements made to ports. They remain frighteningly vulnerable.
Look, Jen, I don't like to rehash what all has gone wrong in the past eight years, so I tend to keep it short and sweet on the Bush years. Except obviously, when a Bush apologist makes issue on my reticence to complain about the past.

Jen- Of course they exist, just as geographical barriers do to terrorism

__________

So the geographical barriers didn't exist on 9/11 then.

A cousin of Saddam Hussein, he was considered one of the most powerful and brutal men in Saddam's inner circle. It is his second death sentence after he was condemned last year to be hanged on five separate charges for his role in a 1980s genocide campaign in the Kurdish northeast. "Chemical Ali" earned his nickname for his poisoned gas attacks on the village of Halabja and his crushing of the Kurdish autonomy campaign that killed up to 100,000 Kurds.

For a long time they have had the ability for Chemical weapons, which are WMD.

They even used them on their own people.

"Yeah, because boats and planes don't exist."

Jen- Of course they exist, just as geographical barriers do to terrorism.

I beleive Mr Bush was being Candid and open and honest.

I think He was given a raw deal over it all. By the media, the Democratic Party, and Mr Obama.

Remember this went the UN, with all the other nations involved. The all backed the war.

Combining all the intelligences of all the nations, taking it before the UN, then before Congress.

All made the decision to enter into a war.

Mr Bush did keep us Safe, and no further terrorism on US Soil.

Continued to pursue Terrorism in Afghanistan.

I beleive The Democrats went to extreme measures over emphazing it all. To make it their platform to run on. The war and the cost of the war.

We won the war, and staying for humane reasons until the Iraq people can fend for themselves.

We will see what happens with the new President. I beleive the world has him marked as a easy push over. That would give in and up instead of fighting For the freedom and rights of Every American. It will take more than prayers to keep terror from coming onto American Soil.

I think we have the oceans to thank instead.

________

Yeah, because boats and planes don't exist.

I don't think Mumbai is a good example, with the gist of Miller's remarks being it happened there when it could have happened here. I think we have the oceans to thank instead.

Arun, you shouldn't believe everything you see while watching "24". George "Bring'em on" Bush was the best thing that ever happened to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda. Compound his foolish, macho hubris with the incompetence of Rumsfeld and the sheer greed and malice of Cheney and what you have is most certainly not more security. This administration failed us in every way imaginable.

Asked what he was "most unprepared for:

Iraq and the freakin Economy!!

What a LOSER and LIAR!!!

Always side stepping his role and responsiblity as PRESIDENT!!

Jan. 20th can not come any faster!!!

I think that Pres Bush is probably a good man, he has kept us safe and I also think that you can agree with all three. I think he acted on bad intel, but also with ulterior motives, perhaps oil or finishing daddys job, I don't know. More than anything, I think he gets some pretty bad raps from the media and from the blogs...In a few years that will lighten...I mean look what happened with Clinton, everyone was sick of him and his antics, Gore wouldn't even allow him to campaign...a few years later, he was godlike to most...go figure.

I miss you Pres.Bush

"an evasion of responsibility"

that sums up the whole Bush administration.

Asked what he was "most unprepared for,"

that would be the presidency, don't you think?

Only Greg Sargent was being reasonable and accurate in his assessment of the events. Were the others lying thru their teeth?

The Bush decision to launch a stupid, unjustified war and to commit torture did not enhance our security. Guantanamo, Iraq, holding people for years without charges or recourse to a court all served to put Americans and american soldiers at greater risk. For Bush to blame faulty intelligence for his poor decisions is pathetic especially because his administration was involved in cooking the evidence. The media dutifully repeats this latest lie because you were cheering him on, hoping for a war.

I think you can agree with all three. Saying that Bush needs to take responsibility for the decision doesn't take away from the fact that he deserves some credit for keeping us safe.

By the way, Jake, love it when you come on DM's show. Great balanced views and I thank you.
