The oil-for-food 'scandal' is a cynical smokescreen

Nope. Try again.

C'mon give us a clue.

 

Worked for Saddam. Claimed to be a Christian.

So he did. I just heard about it on FoxNews.

Think we can trust his "information" or is he just trying to save his skin?

 

Yes and yes. I think he knows very well that if he has any chance of saving his skin, he is going to have to show the evidence for his information. Otherwise, he really has nothing with which to bargain.

Your probably right about that. Now I have to wonder if anything will change at the UN because of it. I got my doubts. Unless maybe the guilty parties get promotions. That would be different.

 

It might put more pressure on the administration to de-legitmize the crooked UN, taking us one step forward to getting rid of the evil organization. I can dream, can't I?

I hope your right Joseph! Maybe Laura Bush will realize the mistake she made by signing us back into UNESCO.

 

I believe you. I haven't seen it but if you say so I will accept it at face value until proven different.

My support for Bush is based on a number of things besides his testimony. For one, I like the fact that he doesn't socialize with the DC elite. I like the fact that when he had to make a call he didn't wait on world approval like his dad did. He saw what he thought was a threat and acted in spite of knowing the possible political costs of failure.... like having people call him a liar and warmonger.

I like that he is loyal though I wish Rumsfeld would reciprocate that loyalty and resign. I like the "ownership society" as a peaceful, gradual means of reversing the welfare state. I like the people he has tried to appoint to the judiciary.

I like that his critics condemn him for relying on his faith, the Bible, and prayer too much in making decisions.

I like that we haven't been attacked in over 3 years.

I don't like the Patriot Act. I don't like the spending growth on domestic programs that are not self terminating. I don't like Cheney or Rumsfeld. I don't his decisions about illegal aliens although I think our immigration policy with Mexico should be more liberal.

I don't like that he plays politics like when he gave the outgoing CIA guy a Freedom Award. The guy was wrong on 9/11 and wrong on WMDs and is leaving an Agency in disarray. This is hardly cause for reward.

I don't like that he pussyfoots around with the Muslims. I would like for him to force them to take sides more aggressively.

I don't like that more isn't being done on energy.

I don't like that his Social Security and tax reforms aren't going to be nearly aggressive enough to avoid future problems... even though I realize the political costs of doing the right thing and also that no one has a plan that is politically viable and will work. Increasing SS tax won't work long term since we are headed from a 6 to 1 payer to beneficiary ratio to a 2.5 to 1 ratio in the next 30 years.

I could probably give you alot more but suffice it to say that I voted for Bush not because he was perfect but because I think he is more likely to make more movement in the right direction. </font>[/QUOTE]Scott, all the things you quoted are right on the money except one. We are not moving in the right direction. Please view my next topic, it is on point I think! Thanks!

 

It appeaars that we not only have Bush Haters on this forum but also US Haters.

 

I love America. I don't hate George Bush (either of them). I hate most of the current policies of the Bush administration. I am a native American as well as a lif-long Republican.

OldRegular,

Perhaps you need to watch more Jack Van Impe's prophecy in the News before you can get it?
