Bush has done it again

[gekko]

A top Revolutionary Guards commander has warned that his forces will destroy Persian Gulf oil fields if the United States threatens Iran.

He said the oil fields in the region, which are the sources of energy for the United States, will be threatened because in the case of a U.S. attack on Iran, the country will not limit its defensive actions to within Iranian borders.


Wow Mr. Bush! You're doing a great job running our country. Now not only are you pissing off other nations with your Nazi speeches, you're getting our oil supply threatened! Thank you Mr. Bush! What else would help this economy than getting an entire oil field bombed and raise gas prices to $5/gal? I guess you must've forgot that most of our oil is being used in the war. Real smart Mr. Bush!

Top Iranian leaders have been warning the United States against taking military action in Iran. Iranians have been angry that U.S. President George W. Bush said Iran, along with Iraq and North Korea, was part of an "axis of evil" that supports terrorism.

Mr. Bush is suffering from Shooter-syndrom! He doesn't know when to shut up! 80% approval my ass! Can we say Hitler?

"Iranians will not roll the red carpet for the U.S. If they do come, the only red that they will see will be the blood of the aggressors," Rafsanjani said.

Oh look, more people want to kill us. Great, real great.


Iranian leaders have called for a large anti-U.S. demonstration on Monday -- the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution -- to send a signal to Washington that Iranians are firmly behind their leaders in confronting any aggression.

No not terrorists, you havce a whole country against you're stupidity! Will someone kill they man? Or hell, at least let Cheney do the speaking!

Hitler.

I agree with you on this one, despite your comment about me.. Bush is making too many stupid mistakes, and is pissing too many people off.

[Joeiss]

Does Iran, Iraq or North Korea have nukes?

And Bush is an idiot. I am not sure why he wants to take on all of this terrorist thing by himself. I think it should be a United Nations thing to stop terrorism, not an American led thing where Bush makes all the decisions.

I wonder what Bill C. Would do in this situation (before the threats stated in topic.

[GameMaster]

Texans these days ...

I agree that he's doing stupid stuff, and I don't see why he has such a high approval rating... Oh wait, yeah I do, everybody has this "yay go america" mood, so it makes Bush so amazingly good when we attack back after such a major terrorist attack



*waits for nwochrisnwo to come in here and start shouting a bunch of racist comments*

It's kind of funny that you should compare Bush to Hitler because my History teacher was saying the same thing in class a couple of days ago. I agreed with him and I agree with you. I mean I've been saying ever since he was voted in as President that the guy was a warhappy, stupid redneck (hope that didn't offend anyone here but that's what I think of him so ). I mean all this you're with us or you're against us crap is just that. As for his approval rating, I think if you put Richard Nixon in the office replacing Bush, his approval rating would be about the same .

Does anyone else think the government is pushing this whole patriotism thing a little too much? I mean the flag from the WTC being raised at the Olympics was a nice gesture and all, but don't you think it's beginning to be a bit too much now? Don't get me wrong, being patriotic towards your country is a great thing, but.....do you get what I mean?

Without it, bush's approval rating would probably drop a whole lot....

If people stopped being very patriotic (wether fake or not ) about all this, they probably wouldn't care much about the military or whatever and what it's doing, and they wouldn't be like "WOO! TAKE THAT, TERRORISTS!" and instead they'd be like "Hmm... I wonder if Cheney really is hiding something about that Enron dealy "

I never got into the patriotic stuff anyways, although I kinda liked the WTC flag thing... just cuz... well, I mean the olympics are taking place in the USA... and it's a flag that was recovered from the place of the worst terrorist attack ever on the US where thousands of citizens from countries around the world were killed...

So it all fits nice'n'good in the ceremonies, IMO...

But meh...

And you know what's sad? He'll probably go down as one of the greatest presidents of all time. But then again, he's still got some time in office to more things that could make that more believable (doubt it though ).

But shouldn't people just be patriotic without all the "Yay we just killed another terrorist/destroyed another camp/etc. Go team!"? Then again when stuff like this doesn't happen to a nation for a while, people begin to take it for granted. Almost seems like a damned if you do, damned if you don't, kind of thing to me .

Oh don't get me wrong, like I said the WTC flag thing was a nice gesture but ......arrrgh I don't know.

[Joeiss]

Bush compared to Hitler, I never thought about that. I mean, Bush isn't letting any countries be neutral. They are either with America or against America. But, wasn't America neutral in WWII until Japan attacked Pearl Harbour? So, is Bush being like Hitler, like he is war crazy and just wants to control everything. Or, is Bush trying to help all countries to not make the same mistake that America did in WWII? I think he could be viewed both ways, as a lunatic, and as a life saving guy.

Exactly.... but they're not...

Before the terrorist stuff it was all democrats bickering back and forth about tax stuff... and people complaining about the woman's right to choose thing... and Bush's approval rating was at like... what? 50 something percent?

Then all of a sudden we're attacked and we're like "WOO HOO! GO AMERICA!" and then we attack and we're like "YAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Maybe that's why gekko calls all that patriotism fake (at least I think he called it fake) because it pops up when it's convenient or whatever you wanna say

And now stuff is dying down with the USA like... pretty much done with the bombing and such (or at least the major bombingness) in afghanistan, but not doing anything to another target yet...

So now it's the Enron scandle... "Why is it a big deal if these talks are private or not? What is Cheney hiding?" and stuff like that...

But I dunno...

[MiscX]

do you honestly think that Bush is the only one making all these decisions? by himself? ha.ha.ha.

sorry, folks. we don't have a dictatorship. i think it's sad that you compare bush to hitler. HITLER! he's not trying to annihilate an entire race, or take over the planet. he's a conservative president who is going to follow his views that we should protect america at all costs, and perhaps, AMERICA BEING THE SUPERPOWER, we need to take steps to prevent terrorist actions in other nations as well as our own.

i'd say that's MUCH better than selling military and nuclear secrets to the chinese (you think Clinton wasn't doing that?) if this happened while clinton was in office i would guess he would avoid war since he was screwing our military out of decent pay/equipment anyway and go have some more "Peace Talks" that we know are never going to work.

impressive liberalism in here though.

[DeathsHand]

For some reason, when I saw your name under the last person to reply thing, I knew you'd say something like that... and you only have 5 posts...

[Angrist]

We Europeans hated Bush from the day he won the polls.

Bush doesn't quite realize terrorists are there because they don't like American culture. As long as we don't change our culture, people won't like us. You can't kill off everyone who has a grudge against the US. Al Qaeda was responsible for a few things before we ever got the 9/11. And yes, that was a big deal. Shut them down the best you can, and then try to get the countries to stop terrorism in their country. We can't fight a war with every country we feel might have terrorists. We've lost men in Afghanistan fighting them, and we've lost men in Somalia fighting them. If we go to N. Korea, Iran, and Iraq, we'll lose even more men. You get to a point where it's not worth it. More soldiers will die trying to stop terrorism than the terrorist attacks will kill.

That's why I compared him to Hitler. After WWI, Germany was being screwed over. Hitler wasn't happy because they made all Germans look like ****. He turned his country around, told everyone how great Germans were. He preached nationalism, and that's what Bush is doing right now. In reality, he's not doing that great of job. But he'll tell you how great it is to be an American, and how the free world will conquer terrorism.

It was too much. That, and that's against flag rules. The flag looked like ****. It's a flag, not a rag. Make the thing look nice! I want to see the flag flying in the wind, not pieces of it flying, and big holes in it. I personally felt it was a disgrace to this country to use that flag.

Maybe that's why gekko calls all that patriotism fake (at least I think he called it fake) because it pops up when it's convenient or whatever you wanna say

Exactly why I call it fake. Before that we had people bitching about the things in the country. No one was flying the flag. No one said "yay, I'm an American!" Then one day terrorists strike. Still nothing but a shock. A few people fly the flag, most still don't care. Then Bush goes on and preaches nationalism, and within the next few days there are flags flying everywhere. Then everyone thinks they're all patriotic because they fly the flag. Like hell they're patriotic! Before that, they didn't give a ****. They could care less about the flag. Veterans Day to them is just a day to take off of work. They don't give a **** about the men who served under the flag. Then, when they feel it's convinient, they're all of a sudden patriots. Our military has been risking their lives every day, but until we go to war, no one cares. Firefighters put their life on the line all the time, but they never cared. It's like we'll be patriotic when the time is right, and after that we'll start bitching about stupid things again. Our society doesn't teach patriotism, and we're not patriotic. Give it 10 years, no one will own a flag anymore.

sorry, folks. we don't have a dictatorship. i think it's sad that you compare bush to hitler.

It's really sad they teach you so little about Hitler.
