    It was also the policy of Clinton. I think it's a U.S government/big business/arms trade thing.

    More specific to the Bushes:

    the Carlyle Group
    the Bin laden group
    Halliburton (Cheney, anyway)
    James Bath
    the CIA (Bush Sr. was director back in the day and still gets daily briefings)
    the Saudi's

    making money, lots of money.

    yes because bush is the only u.s president to ever wage war.

    no, but he is the only (aside from maybe reagan, surprise surprise) to do so in the face of unanimous international opposition.

    and that is why terrorists like to attack us and why we have the GREAT world opinion we have today.

    I don't have a problem with George H.W.Bush. I think he did a pretty good job during his term.
    You cannot equate the Gulf War (1991) with the mess we are in today. The elder Bush KNEW what a mess it would be and how the nation would not stand for such a military fiasco. That is why he steered clear of occupying Baghdad in 1991... it was not the clearly defined military objective. The objective was to enforce the U.N. Resolution to eject Iraqi armed forces from the soverign nation of Kuwait... and that was it. not to chase them back intro Baghdad and endure a decade long occupation where military personel and civilians die on a daily basis. The 'Job' of the fisrt Gulf War was DONE. There was no 'Finishing the Job' that seems to be popular with mini-Bush fans. The Gulf War of 1991 was a justified military action that was planned and executed by those who learned the lessons of Viet Nam.
    And the 1992 wasn't so much a Clinton win... I believe Bush Sr. had a couple of huge obstacles he could not overcome... Dan Quayle was a liability. Shoulda went with Jack Kemp... dumped Quayle on his ass. The other obstacle... H.Ross Perot. He was the Nader of '92. He took more Bush votes than Clinton votes because he preached to the conservative numbnuts that believed a washed out GM Exec could run the country. The guy could deal with the beauracracy of GM... the Federal government is 1,000 times worse. If Perot would have won... he would have quit after a month because he couldn't be able to dictate his will over Congress and we would have been stuck with Vice President (Who Am I) Stockdale.
    So... I don't think it's fair to blame G.H.W. Bush for Georgie's screw ups. We all know someone who is a great guy... but, has a fuck as a kid, right? Just look at the Bush's.

    this is the dumbest fucking thread i've ever read. if you want to know more about the bushes or the republican party, google them or look it up on wikipedia. if i want to know more about a foreign president/ruler/whatever, i'm not going to ask people on an online forum. i'll do some research. i don't know if the original poster is trying to gain acceptance in a mainly liberal forum or what. in every aspect, this is just fucking stupid.
  • The Bushs' wage war because they believe they can keep america from being attacked and keep it safe.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    vietnam was as much kennedy's fault as lbj. though i think lbj is one of the worst presidents in history. however, vietnam was a snowballing mess from the get-go. we were bailing out the french at first and world opinion was not as cohesive as now. it kinda just spun out of control. that's a bit different from reagan deciding to invade any latin american country he didnt like or bush's jaunt into iraq. honestly, i dont know why you righties always get your backs up anytime someone says reagan wasn't the greatest human being ever to walk this earth. shit, most of you would rate him higher than jesus. i truly expect christianity to have evolved in another 2000 years into worship of reagan.

    i call them like i see them. lbj was reprehensible, but diff. reagan and dubya were idiots. bush sr... ok in my book.

    I agree, I really belive despite everything that's going on the heart of it Bush thinks he is doing the right thing, he might be told what to do by the puppet masters behind him but if so they prey on his beliefs. People think he's realy vindictive but I honestly believe him to just be naive and at the bottom of it an optimist.

    mate, trust me im onyour side but the comment i quoted is staight from farinheight 911
    I have been on other boards and have seen the same comments come from many and the retorts are always deriding MIKE moore as a Bandwagon rider. Its a pity that that movie was so big as the arguments made in it have been HOLLYWOODED and now ignored by the mainstream media and the public.
    All I asked you for were your views. I for instance spoke of human rights violations of citizens of my country
    my 86 to your 619 what does that matter, am I not good enough because I havnt been here longer. At some stage you only had 86 posts, does that mean your views then were not valid

    Who said that I was a "rightie"? Besides JFK did not live long enough for 'Nam to become a weight around his neck like what LBJ endured.

    Reagan was good to okay.......I would have preferred at least one more term for Ford.

    i say this thread is stupid (cos let's face it, it is), and you attack me personally. unlike you, i don't get offended when someone who i don't know nor will ever know insults me on an online forum. deal with it.

    fair enough. just seemed like you were getting your back up about reagan and i find that incredibly annoying. also wanted to point out i give no pass to the many presidents involved in vietnam, but the circumstances there were different. it wasnt an outright offensive invasion. it began as an invited defense of colonialism and snowballed out of control.
