    What heavy price will George Bush pay for his miscalculations in Iraq? When he leaves office, he and his cronies will be richer than ever, having made millions from their stock in companies with defense contracts and oil companies.

    Hitler was going around attacking other nations , Saddam was not. In fact Saddam was nicely contained and could have easily been taken care of at a later date. Despite the best advice from the military Bush wanted to play John Wayne, and thanks to his poor planning we are stuck in a big ugly mess. we have not been greeted as liberators and we may never win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people but we have done all that can be reasonably been done.

    The fact that the democrats won the Congress in 2006 and his Presidency is for all practical purposes over cut from 8 to 6 years is a heavy price.

    The fact that the democrats have a much better than even chance of winning the Presidency next year due to his judgements is a heavy price.

    The fact that history will call it a failed Presidency is a heavy price.

    As far as what they do to enrich themselves after leaving office, there is not much different in what they are doing in office. Both democrats and republicans are interested in power and money, not the American people. How many times does this have to be said?

    God will deal with, and IMHO, quite severely, those who have pandered to the Christian vote on false pretenses, and enriched themselves on the back of the American people. They are all that way. Cheney is probably the worst, but they are only seperated by small shades of gray, and that includes the democrats.

    Hope that answers your question.

    Again, the point I was making was, slamming Bush for all his past mistakes is not going to help us solve the Iraq problem.

    I'd almost like to try Cheney's brand of conservatism, as opposed to this compassionate drivel we're being force-fed.

    AP - If someone or even a large group of people in your family chose not to serve, what would that say about you?

    Nothing.

    It would say that a large portion of your family chose not to serve.

    I agree with that. Since the WW2 generation, I think I am the only one in my family that served during the Vietnam era.

    Joshua you missed it!

    It is not about me it is about those who trumped up this war and hyped it yet are not even willing to make a shared sacrifice.

    Should bush and family members who support this war ..be apart of the shared sacrifice..yes or no...it is obvious they are not doing it now.


    your private e-mail is not working ..but keep on topic thanks.

    Joshua, The thing that bothers me about Bush's family serving or not serving ( and it really isn't important that they chose not to) is that Bush practally slapped every American that disagreed with his policies on Iraq in the face when he stated "Either you are with us or against us". I am sure the sacrifices that our brave men in uniform have made since then have not gone un-noticed by the Bush administration but the lack of commitemnt from Bushs' nephews to join the military just shows lack of any real unison from the family . This is the core, if family support is lacking what does that say about the Presidents' leadership qualities. Sadly, time has revealed that Bush is lacking in that department. All he can give us is lip service.

    The maximum age for military service raised by Bush to:

    * Active duty Army - 42
    * Army Reserves - 42
    * Army Natinal Guard - 42
    * Active duty Air Force - 27
    * Air Force Reserve - 34
    * Air National guard - 34
    * Active duty Navy - 34
    * Navy Reserves - 39
    * Active duty Marines - 28
    * Marine Corps Reserves - 29
    * Active duty Coast Guard - 27
    * Coast Guard Reserves - 27

    Why are you claiming that Bush's family members aren't qualified to enlist? Couldn't pass the mental tests?

    Yep, AP, I got it.

    Oh, so it's only about those that YOU say it's about? Forgive me. :laugh:

    Only if they choose to be. They are free people with the same freedom to choose that you do. Whether or not they are related to the President is neither here nor even there.

    Works just fine. You're welcome. :wavey:

    He will go down in history as one of the worst, if not the absolute worse presidents in United States history. His children, grandchildren, other relatives and friends will read over and over about his failings and miscalculations.

    But he didnt attack the United states.

    So if this nutbag in Iran gets squirrelly and puts his foot in his mouth by "declaring" on the United States, then you would favor military action against Iran?

    Those German subs on our coastline must have been a figament of our imagination.
    Just relying on memory here, didn't a german sub sink one of our passangers liners? I'll look it up later.
    have a good day Ps104_33

    I really don't think so.
    That is not human nature.
    Human nature is to "soften" the errors and focus more on the "bright" side of things.
    Only God writes without apologies about His people.

    Germany declared war on the US, remember?

    Bush destablilized a major portion of the world and mortgaged the country to finance his ill-conceived war against Iraq - what is the "bright" side? That he lowered taxes, primarily for the rich, while borrowing from China?

    I thought that was all a plot by Churchill to drag the United States into the war. You seem like a conspiracy theorist. I'm sure you bought that one.

    It's a shame that Christians would support any administration that sponsors terrorism.
