George W. Bush is a manipulative liar who misled the American people by distorting intelligence in order to strengthen his political argument for war. Here's proof to back up my opinion:
Lou_Sir said this in post #1 : George W. Bush is a manipulative liar who misled the American people by distorting intelligence in order to strengthen his political argument for war. Here's proof to back up my opinion:
I disagree. Bush is stupid. He is a puppet to his master, (Dick Cheney), who is the real manipulative liar.
Bush, in actual fact, takes very little interest in his contractual obligations, and bows down to his main advisor, Cheney. The war in Iraq was formed by Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz, and got the token signature of Bush.
The thing is that this is what makes Bush dangerous. The fact that he is too stupid to tie his own shoelaces, means that he is ripe for being manipulated by the likes of Cheney. Plan of Attack, by Bob Woodward, shows exactly what happened within the Bush administration. Bush did not go out of his way to go to war with Iraq, Cheney did. Bush takes Cheney at his word, and Cheney went against whitehouse opinion, and said Saddam was developing WMD, without any intelligence at all. After this, the whitehouse was forced to go along with this evil little man, and his entourage, (Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz mainly), and attack a nation that has never attacked the US.
Bush needs to be outed, but only because he is too easily manipulated by nutters. Personally, I think that Bush is not an evil person, simply someone who is in over his head. He can never live up to his dads level of intelligence, so relies on Cheney, who is intelligent, but evil, meaning that his decisions are fundamentally flawed.
Well, I think it's none of the people of America's business what the Iraqi government were doing in Iraq, but apparently it is ok for America to interfere in other people's business.
This forum is discussing the American government's heavy handed wrath on the rest of the world. I am talking about the reasons for the American government invading a sovereign nation. (One that is NOT America). Therefore, my opinion on the American government is just as valid as yours. Whilst Iraq maybe another American state now, what was done in Iraq was not "what we do in America". I realise that being American, (and particularly a Texan American), your concept of Geography is sketchy at best, but Iraq, geographically at least, is not "in America". Maybe one day you might be able to look at a globe and see exactly where Iraq is. That is once you have gotten over the suprise that the earth is not actually flat.
People disagreeing with your views and having some acquaintances in english = liberal british citizen. Your sense of short cuts has always amazed me, USA1.
Do you sometimes READ their arguments and reported FACTS ?
Absolutely I do. At least until the spin starts. Then I stop.
In saying that, most of the spin comes from Western Europe on this forum. Each tries to inject their spin wishes into actual reports. It's just plain rediculous and sometimes amusing.
