I think this guy isnt really involved in whats going on in the world. I mean this is not the cold war, we dont need anybody who thinks communism is the worst thing in the world etc. There are more important things than this SDI trash again.

With all due respect, you don't get to be PResident of the United States without knowing whats going on in the world. G Dubya doesn't have to be a genius on every world issue, because he has enough advisors around that help keep him updated. Foxo, this topic is absurd, and just another excuse to start a war in the forums.

Foxo, can you back up you story a little. Anway, as we all know, Cheney is the brain, Bush is the mouth. He won't actually have do do any thinking, that's what Cheney's for.

I think we should give Georgie Junior a chance. Afterall, he realizes:
1) He doesn't exactly have the reputation of a rocket-scientist.
2) He realizes the circumstances surrounding his recent election "victory."
3) He realizes the popularity and concomitant successes of his predecessor (regardless of whether certain people wanna accept those successes as being valid.)
4) He realizes he needs to prove his ability to stand on his own without the direction of his father.
Yeah. I say give Curious George a chance. Let's reserve our imminent side-splitting laughter for when he f*cks up.

Hey, Bush is gonna be criticized for this, right now he is playing the part of the school janitor, sweeping up the many errors of the idiot that was president for 8 years before him. Die Saddam, Go Bush!

Oh, so now Saddam is Clinton's fault as well? BULLSHIT!
Sorry pal, but Saddam, like everything else in Clinton's Presidency, is a left-over, and you know exactly who didn't finish him.
Now I suggest you take SEVEN_FIFTY7's advise and start saving your energy for the inevitable attacks on Bush. We're going to make what you did to Clinton look like friendly kidding....

Actually, it was Daddy Bush who didn't finish off Saddam. During the Gulf War, they had the option to push the ground troops to Baghdad and finish it off, but Bush pulled back.

Well, the reason Saddam wasn't finished off is because they decided that leaving him in power was better than having lots of terrorism directed at the U.S. and crew, and also to make sure Iran wasn't the predominant power in the immeadiate region.

A good friend of mine said something the other day that i thought was interesting.
We were talking about assassinations and someone brought up that someone was threatening George W Bush (i think this was right after that crazy guy got shot by the secret service).
He said, "I don't care if I don't like the guy or didn't vote for him, he's my president, and nobody messes with my president."
I think we can accept the president of People of the United States.

For all of you, who think Bush Sr. failed to finish off Saddam, you all need to check your facts. There was great pressure not to "finish off" Saddam from not only middle eastern nations fearing complete upheaval, but even members of Nato (like the freakin' French, who oppose damn near every U.S. military action, oh, except those times in WWI and WWII), who for some reason, thought it best that we only show Saddam who is boss. Because of this, the war ended the way it did. With Kuwait liberated, and Suadia Arabia feeling "safe" again. Bush Sr. nor justthe U.S. called all the shots in the Gulf War.
Also, Billy Clinton on occasion had fighters attack Iraqi radar sites and such, when they were threatening Coalition aircraft patroling the no-fly zone. Why is it that when G. Dubya does it, he gets critized? Why?, because the world and this forum is filled with a bunch of hypocrites. Not to mention, Bush Jr. didn't wake up, and say "Let's bomb Saddam today." You see, Bush has military advisors. Its those advisors job to watch military issues, such as Saddam. Those people recommend to Bush what course of action needs to be taken. 90% of you who are critisizing Bush Jr. for this, are just looknig for another platform to attack him on, and thats pathetic.

I had my doubts about him, but he's doing alright. You can't criticize him bombing Iraq if you didn't criticize Clinton for doing the same thing.
I think that Bush was letting Saddam know who's in charge (USA), even after Clinton.
Don't forget that it was the United States that gave Iraq a lot of the technology they have today, including anthrax.
I voted for Gore, but I think that I'm going to have to live with Bush for a while and accept it.

That is the most absurd thing I have heard since I last read a post on the Affirmative Action tread. Bush was not letting Saddam know "who is in charge." Bush, was acting on what his top military advisors suggested to him, and that was a course of military action, due to the fact, Saddam had his Army keep threatening coalition aircraft patroling the No-Fly zone. There was a logical, and real explenation behind the attacks. If G. Dubya was just flexing the U.S.'s proverbial muscle, then why did the British attack as well?
