anyone against bush, US president?

We do not have a draft so they entered the service on there own choice , I give high praise for that . They knew the possiblity of war was there I think to many families are not suporting the service persons decision . There has been a lot of units with Montanans iin them that ask us to help there fellow members becouse so many do not have family support, we have a monthly drive here in Montana to send theres folks greetings and nessesities . So to get on my soap box but it seems too many people start this anti war stuff forgetting these folks went becouse they are doing the USA a service to keep us free. and then see the anti stuff makes them feel like they are doing there job for no reason . I'm proud to be an American and proud of the folks that do go so I can be here discussing this with you all.
If I were younger I probly would be there to, but the best a 44 year ol woman can do now is wrtie letters, knit items for them , and pray.
SO lets not make the service floks feel like the vets who came home from Veitnaom ,not appreseacted.

there is a difference between supporting the troops and supporting mr bush.

As to the troops staying in Iraq for a long term, we broke it (threw out saddam) we need to fix it, otherwise all that will happen is it will devolve into a civil war.

As to lies, I've yet to see the President (like who it is or not, he holds the office, please give due respect to the office if not the person holding it) proven to have lied. I've heard countless people who oppose him accuse him of lying, yet it continues to be a classic case of mudslinging......throw it up against the wall and see what sticks. If nothing out of this batch sticks, keep slinging.

As to President Bush taking unilateral action in Iraq, Prior to the war, only three european countries opposed the war...............France, Germany, and Russia. What do these three countries have in common? They are all among the largest recipients of illegal oil for food money, they all sold weapons to Iraq after the embargo following the Gulf War was in place, and these three stood to make the most gains if Saddam Hussein stayed in power and the UN Sanctions were lifted (France, 40 Billion Dollar contract to improve oil fields, Russia, 60 billion dollar contract to do similar work, and Germany, who also had significant contracts promised to them). The three countries also held large amounts of Iraqi debt from weapons sales (many illegal weapons sales) and oil field work already completed which they stood to lose if the caolition forces removed Hussein.

As to the President planning the invasion before 9/11, the US Military has plans to invade probably every non-allied country on the face of the earth on the shelf, and these plans are rountinely updated. Anyone ever consider that this was part of a routine review?

As to WMD.......Prior to the war, there were many US allies (and non allies) who suspected that Iraq had WMD. Check out old issues of Janes Defense weekly at the local library. Democrats and Republicans alike had been hammering for years to end the situation and remove Saddam from power. The Democrats just can't stomach the idea (Senator Kerry in particular made some extremely hawkish comments in the late '90s, but changed his mind when he was running against the President (or did he? Depended on the sound bite)) To quote Naill Fergueson, the question shouldn't be why did the US lead an invasion of Iraq, but instead the question should be why it took 13 years and 22 violated UN resolutions to do it.

Thats the same with me... but from what most people say... most other presidents did a heck of alot better than Bush.

Well that's what my dad says... and I believe him.

Bush is apparently is against gays. That is very unfair. My dad is and I take that personally. I bet he does, too. I think we shoulden't have a president that is dicrimanent (sp?) against certain people.
