Pro- Bush thread

[red]

In the interests of peace I have started two threads one for those who hate bush and one for those that love bush. This thread is for OTB and friends to play in. I will get you started:


He’s done wonders for the economy
Saddam was tyrant who needed taking down
Aristide resigned
He served in the National Guard
He’s no Bill Clinton

 

[Snook.fr]

Americanson will up his post count by 50 with that thread !!

 

[The Shake]

If you hate Bush you must be a no-good Stalin-loving leftie.

 

[johnnyhandsome]

I'm a serious right-winger so any Bush is a friend of mine.
Whether it's bush Sr., Jeb or Dubya.

 

[Peeping Tom]

Fortunately, Bush is influencing our political scene. The Martin administration is actually doing something about corruption and the huge mess left behind by that dolt Cretin. I find it hilarious that the lunatic left fringe is getting the heave ho, especially Sheila Copps, who can't understand that her electorate doesn't want to be represented by a mullah. Of course she's pulling a Gore ... bleat bleat, "I deserved to win" ...

Hey americanson, it's a billion dollars and not multimillion dollars
I also want to know why the fukc nobody has been arrrested or put in jail over our scandal??
The americans would never put up with this kind of sheittt!!
Heads would roll a la Enron and that homemaker bithc, whats her name again??
Oh yeah, Martha Stewart

Kill someone ... OK. Just don't touch the money! - Paraphrasing Jay Leno on last night's show.

 

[The Shake]

Oh, Lord.

Hey americanson, it's a billion dollars and not multimillion dollars

The entire amount spent was $250 million dollars. Of that, up to $100 million may have been unethically or illegally siphoned off.

I also want to know why the fukc nobody has been arrrested or put in jail over our scandal??

Because the police are investigating it. You can't just start arresting people because you think something bad has happened. You need a chain of evidence.

The americans would never put up with this kind of sheittt!!

No, never. There's no corruption in American politics or business. None.

Sigh.

Heads would roll a la Enron

I can't believe you're citing Enron as an example of the American judicial system working. The bilking of Enron investors was evident as far back as December 2001 but, last I checked, Ken Lay was still living in his huge mansion. Do you have any knowledge about the Enron scandal, or are you just throwing out a word you heard in an elevator?

and that homemaker bithc,

Nice.

You forgot to include Libya in your first post, red.

Democrats on Iraq and WMD's:

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity
to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver
them. That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998


"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear.
We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass
destruction program."
- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a
great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will
use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest
security threat we face."
- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten
times since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent
with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions
(including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond
effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of
mass destruction programs."
- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom
Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of
mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the
region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of
mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his
weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and
nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In
addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless
using the cover of an ilicit missile program to develop longer-range missiles
that will threaten the United States and our allies."
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and
others, December 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant
and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored
the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass
destruction and the means of delivering them."
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and
chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

 

[djk]

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven
impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as
long as Saddam is in power."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002


"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and
developing weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We
are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical
and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash
course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities.
Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the
authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because
I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his
hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working
aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons
within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always
underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of
mass destruction."
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11
years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm
and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity.
This he has refused to do"
Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports
show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and
biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.
He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al
Qaeda members .. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam
Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and
chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence
that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing
capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

 

[djk]

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a
brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents
a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response
to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass
destruction... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass
destruction is real."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

[Peeping Tom]

The sponsorship scandal was ~ 250 million or so. The gun registry was the billion dollar black hole.

There have been terminations and with the ongoing investigation it is very likely that arrests will follow.

good ole GWB

 

[Drunken Master]

You forgot to include Libya in your first post, red.

Cheers,

-djk

What about Libya? Seems to me that another brutal dictator - like Kim in N.Korea - has made a deal with the States and gets to live the rest of his life in comfort - and in power. Gosh, there wouldn't be a double standard here, would there?

Oh, and congratualtions to red for successfully baiting all of us confrontational political junkies. Well played, sir.

 

[Peeping Tom]

Maybe because the Libyan sultan got the hint and looked at the big picture? Handing over the terrarists and giving up his WMD might have something to do with it?

Dear Leader doesn't have a deal. Where were you hiding when Bush made the famous speech, notifying three parties that they were placed on the Axle of Evil?

I've seen trolling before but to this one is the only appropriate reply.

We must all be taking the Democrats words out of context. Not sure what dictionary they use but it had a very different definition of "sexual relations" than mine so perhaps the verbage in your quotes have their own unique meanings as well.

Best post this year, and nice ending with the Sen. Kerry quote. A man who is firmly on both sides of every issue.

Say what you will about Bush (and I could criticize a plenty) but he believes what he believes and he does what he says he's going to do. It's a weird experience after that used car salesman Clinton.

I think this election is going to come down to a couple of states (mine - Ohio being one of them), get out the vote party faithful.

Nice.

shake listen up,

I'm referring to ALL the scandals under Chretien. Starting with that billion dollar scandal of 2 years ago. I dont remember the name but it was a female mp that was under investigation. and now this scandal plus I almost forgot about the gun registry.
I also know damn well that the Enron people have nothing to do with government but my point was that americans arent afraid of locking up the rich and powerful while we, canadians, seem to be.
I also never said that America has no corruption so there goes that argument.
