George W. Bush - The Next Move - Page 13

I respect your opinion, but completely disagree with it. I believe that Rumsfeld has done an incredible job. President Bush has done a wonderful job. The ratings are as they are due to the continual drumbeat of doom that comes from the media. Even when there is good news presented, it is presented in the most negative possible way.

Heck, the news media continually bashed McClellan. They will probably do the same to Tony Snow. However, I think that Tony is strong enough, intelligent enough, and quick enough to be able to turn the negatives around on the press. He has had a lot of experience dealing with debate on his radio and TV shows.

I think this is a great move for all concerned.

Move The Bush W George

I can't speak about the job the Bush Administration has done at a domestic level, but their foreign policy record has been one disaster after another.

People overseas will remember the Bush Administration for the following reasons.

Afghanistan: This was in direct response to September 11 and received a lot support initially. Coalition forces invaded the country with the aim of capturing Osama Bin Laden, believed to be behind the attack. Bin Laden has not even been seen by coalition forces nearly five years after the invasion began. The Taliban was disposed off and replaced with a toothless government that controls most of Kabul and little else. More innocent civilians were killed in Afghanistan as a result of the invasion than those who died in September 11. The country enjoys more freedom in areas that are secured by coalition forces, but for the vast majority, the violence and oppression continues. Afghanistan is very much a forgotten cause and the Taliban is starting to regroup.

Iraq: It is still unclear why the US was so desperate to invade this country but let's go through their official reasons. 1) Saddam has WMDs - LIE. 2) Saddam has terrorist links to Al Qaeda - LIE. 3) Saddam is an evil person and Iraq needs regime change. TRUE, but this was even more true 15 years ago when he was a US ally. The world was spoon fed these lies and for the most part spat them out with contempt. Weapons Inspectors were sent in by the UN, largely at the request of the US, and subsequently pulled out by the UN, largely because the US realised they weren't finding anything. The UN was by-passed and slurred by the US as being impotent because they wanted proof of WMDs before planning military intervention. The end result, conservative estimates predict in excess of 100,000 innocent Iraqis are dead as a result of the direct conflict and subsequent violence. Over 2,000 US soldiers have also been killed and countless more Iraqi security forces. There was no post-invasion plan by the US and the country is now in turmoil. Iraq is in a worse state with more daily deaths than it had been under Saddam. It is now heading towards becoming a clerical Shiite dominated government, similar to what Iran has. The world is a less safe place as a result of this invasion.

Guantanamo Bay: This legal black hole has stripped the human rights of hundreds of inmates for no apparent reason. Stories of torture and deprivation of the human rights the US once championed are common. Prisoners are still being imprisoned without charge and released without charge, years after they were first captured. The captives are not entitled to a fair trial and many have no developed mental illness as a result of being held at Camp X-ray for years. This jail has set a dangerous precedent for other nations to follow.

Abu Grahib: We now know that the kind of torture famously implemented in Abu Grahib and other US controlled Iraqi prisons was signed off by Donald Rumsfeld. This disgusting breach of human rights has done more to fuel terrorism than it has done to prevent it. I read a recent report that suggests that over 500 US officers and contractors around the world have been involved in the torture of a similar amount of foreign citizens.

Extraordinary rendition: I accept that this is not a Bush policy, but it has come to the fore and the US Government, through its intelligence arm, still uses it.

Iran: This country appears to be next in the firing line with Iraq-like rhetoric being used by senior US officials. Iran is one of the most powerful countries in the region and any military attack will place an unstable region into bloody war. The jury awaits to see what will happen on this one.

India: The US has virtually denounced the nuclear non-proliferation treaty by sharing nuclear technology with India, a non-signatory. It has done this on the condition that India opens up some, not all, of its nuclear reactors to inspections.

I would like to add that on Iraq and Afghanistan, the Australian and British Governments have obediently followed the US lead. They also must share blame for these foreign policy bungles.

Nighthawk, I am curious to understand why you believe Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney have done a good job.

Bush Impeachment

The Illinois General Assembly is about to rock the nation. Members of state legislatures are normally not considered as having the ability to decide issues with a massive impact to the nation as a whole. Representative Karen A. Yarbrough of Illinois' 7th District is about to shatter that perception forever. Representative Yarbrough stumbled on a little known and never utlitized rule of the US House of Representatives, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States House of Representatives, which allows federal impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of a state legislature. From there, Illinois House Joint Resolution 125 (hereafter to be referred to as HJR0125) was born.

I don't agree with a lot of what Bush has done but does anyone here really think he deserves to be impeached? The guy was lucky to get into power in the first election but clearly won the second. I say give him his fair go. Unless he personally does something completely outrageous should he be forced out of office?

Move The Bush W George

This is purely a political move, another attempt to embarrass him in this mid-term election year. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have been trying to bring up similar charges for several months. They know that there is no basis whatsoever for impeachment, but keep the story alive in order to throw dirt at the opposition.

However, they should be VERY wary of starting something like this. If a liberal state like Illinois can do this to the President, what is to stop a conservative state like Utah or Wyoming from starting an impeachment proceeding against a Federal Judge or a Democratic President later on?

It sounds rather stupid to me mate. Let elected representatives have there fair go.

I have watched the last two White House Correspondent's dinners, and admittedly, Bush does have a sense of humor. Last year it was Cedric the Entertainer that hosted it. This year, self-ascribed pundit Stephen Colbert and comedian Steve Bridges were in attendance. Here were some of the funnier moments at the dinner.
