Bush gets more bad news from Iraq

WASHINGTON - Just when President Bush was trying to accentuate the positive in Iraq and declare a new beginning in the war on terror, a rash of bad news comes from multiple fronts in the global struggle.

New details are emerging in the killings of two dozen Iraqi civilians at the hands of Marines. Anti-American protesters are staging riots in Afghanistan after a U.S. military convoy rammed into several civilian cars. And a reported 75 military detainees at Guantanamo Bay are on a hunger strike to protest their continued imprisonment without charges.

Add the trouble to the continuing daily violence in Iraq — at least 40 were killed in a series of bombings Monday, including two from a CBS News crew — and Bush could be in danger of losing even more support for his mission.

Bush has tried to keep the nation behind him with repeated talk about the importance of defeating the terrorists abroad so they cannot attack the United States again. He has expressed confidence that the U.S. will prevail and spread democracy. And he has acknowledged costly mistakes along the way.

1. He deserves every bit of bad news that he gets. It is HIS war.

If it all went well he would be basking in the glow of success. But it hasn't gone well at all, and now he (and his minions) must pay the price. That's the way it goes, *W*

12. If only it was all happening only to him.

2. It wouldn't matter to Busholini if

the entire Iraqi Govt. was blown up. He will continue the Occupation. Nothing will deter him from occupying Iraq. It is vital to his Junta that Iraq is occopied as a foothold in the ME and keeping the oil from America's enemies.

3. I agree but the blind sheep will still cheer *

At the Arlington Memorial Day Ceremony the Bushbots loudly cheered for Bush. The cheers were deafening when Rumsfailed was introduced. He began his speech with 9-11 and the Pennsylvania crash, I had to turn the channel because he made me ill. I turned back in a few minutes and had to mute the sound when Pace defended Bush and Rumsfailed.

4. "...repeated talk ..." is all he has to offer

and not even his own words.. His speech-writers must be working overtime, trying to come up with the right combination of words that will placate a Bush-weary nation..

[Disturbed]

6. Reality.

There are millions of Americans that still support the Bush Regime. They have a mindset and most will not change. They view America in a way that is patriotic in their mindset. That is their reality. We can only keep going with our reality and maybe even persuade some to change their views. Some people actually like war. It gives them a sense of purpose. It is a simplistic mindset of right and wrong.

10. freedom - 9/11 - terra - freedom - 9/11 - terra

5. He can't really believe that

if he does, I want some of what he's smoking.

7. But the terrorists obscure the good news

by putting unsettling images onm our TV screens. Progress is being made. Why can't you dumb libs see that our commander in chief is trying to bring peace and stability to the middle east. We must press forward and make sure that the sacrifice our fallen soldiers have made is rewarded with victory.











































HRRMPH! Fuck you dimson

8. As a Veteran, I am abhored...

... that * and his cronies used a day set aside to remember the supreme sacrifice made by the Men and Women of the Armed Forces to preserve freedom, not only in this country, but for the rest of the world, to politicize it, and to try and garner support for his failed agenda.

Whatever power that exists in the heavens should damn him to hell.

9. Amen, misternormal!

I am sickened by this group. Sickened. And for him to say that the "U.S. Must Honor War Dead" is an abomination. Many of us, in fact MOST if us, I would say, DO honor the war dead. And we would also like to stop the accumulation of the number of dead (and wounded). This man wouldn't know honor if it hit him upside the head.

I am so sorry, misternormal, that you and all the men and women who served, and are currently serving, must suffer the likes of Bush as Commander in Chief. There is no way he deserves that title, even if it comes with the office (he doesn't deserve the office either).

11. I found a quote I had saved to my drive. It seems appropriate

at this time. this dates back to before the Iraqi invasion.

"What a disastrous twist of fate it would be if the feared Islamic jihad were brought into being not by the al Qaeda gang but by the President of the United States and his close advisers." Salman Rushdie
