You can't point the finger at Bush for going to war in Iraq, basically everyone across the board agreed that it was the right decision. Where I point my finger at Bush as being reckless and stupid is his complete lack of planning. I actually agree with decision to go to Iraq. I disagree with having absolutely no clue what you're going to do after you invade and overthrow Sadaam. That's a problem.

welcome back syckgirl. I missed you darlin. although my opinion of that liberal pussy is not much different than your's obviously is, i did agree with many of his points that were brought up in "bowling for columbine". But, For the most part, I try to pertain my posts to the band rather than my political, moral, or religious beliefs. Your only opening up one large can of worms otherwise. Be prepaired for the forthcoming "attack of the clones".
I didn't really mean it to start anything, just liked it and thought some of you would like it to... not every body has to agree with it.
Good to see you are back, too. How are ya?

Like the republicans give a shit about a 30K per year cubicle dweller like yourself sickgyrl. I note your pro-bush thread gets 10 times fewer respones than my f911 thread. Where did you think you were going with this?
It's not so much a Pro-Bush rant as it is reality. If you honestly think Kerry is the savior, as alot of people do, then I wish you and them the best of luck with all that. They're [Bush and Kerry] both wealthy as hell and they're politicians; ultimately out for their own best interests.
Someone enlighten me, please. What is happening with the Iraqi Oil that the US has confiscated and is controlling now? Why can't we just use THAT money to support the war?
HooDoo - the article below proves Bush isn't self-interested, (barf!)
---------------------
AOL headline: Bush Signs Bill to Add $25 Billion to Wars $417.5 Billion Wartime Defense Bill Includes 3.5 Percent Pay Increase for Troops
WASHINGTON (Aug. 5) -- President Bush signed a $417.5 billion wartime defense bill Thursday providing an additional $25 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan, body armor for troops and reinforced Humvee vehicles.
''With this legislation America's military will know that their country stands behind them as they fight for our freedom and as they spread the peace,'' Bush said.
''No enemy or friend can doubt that America has the resources to prevail,'' he said. ''And we will.''
Overwhelmingly approved by a Congress eager to show election-year support for the military, the measure includes money for 39 more Army Black Hawk helicopters, a Virginia-class attack submarine, three guided-missile destroyers and a 3.5 percent pay increase for troops. ''This money is well-earned, well-deserved and well-spent,'' he said of the pay increase.
With national security the top issue in his re-election campaign, Bush came off the political trail for the bill-signing ceremony, flanked by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, members of the military and lawmakers. The carefully timed event highlighted Bush's role as commander in chief, offering him a spotlight Democrat John Kerry cannot match.
With the ink on the measure barely dry, Bush was returning to the campaign trail for his 20th trip as president to Ohio.
Bush had originally insisted that no extra funds would be needed for Iraq and Afghanistan until after the elections but under pressure from Congress, he requested $25 billion. He said the two countries were ''the front lines in the war on terror.''
The bill has nearly $78 billion for weapons purchases, $3 billion more than Bush requested. Included is more money for Air Force unmanned Predator aerial attack vehicles, Stryker combat vehicles for the Army and a DD(X) destroyer.
There is $10 billion for continued work on a national missile defense system. And there is $100 million for the Air Force to modernize its fleet of midair refueling tankers - though House language was dropped requiring 80 of the craft to be purchased from the ailing Boeing Co.
''This bill will help make America a safer place,'' Bush said.
Bush also said it was in America's interest for Arab militia violence to end in the western Sudan region of Darfur. The defense bill could help, he said, with $95 million in famine relief and humanitarian assistance.
When the war in Iraq began the oil fields were only roughly at 40% operation. Throughout the course of the war as insergents wreaked havoc on the pipelines and oil sites, that operating percentage declined. Until the pipelines and oil wells and sites can be restructed by the contractors there, there will not be any revenue to use to pay the costs. In reality it's more of a loan (though it's doubtful that the revenue would ever reimburse tax payers except for maybe a decent rebate check down the road).
I posed this question to the Bush clan when he was just up here in Mankato.
