George Bush: Worst American president in history



Recommended Posts

Actually it's sad. People have to take sides. Misplaced hostility from the civilians has polarized the loyalties of the troops.

Either that or, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome

I figured you would say that. I was in the Navy during Bill Clinton and Bush.

And could not stand Clintion He had little to nill aproval with me. And I would like to speak for others but I won't. But I could.

The Clinton era was hardly a time of national crisis with record economic growth and record unemployment lows. Stockholm wouldn't apply.

And you would still be in the minority, I kinda liked the adulterous fool.

I never said it is cleaned up we are for the most part out of there.

there will always be some remnant of our existance there. Just like there is still remnants in Germany, Japan, Cuba, Korrea and the list could go on. We have not been at war with Germany since wwII.

Excuse me, but that's exactly what you said....

we spent 16 week in afgan. And cleaned it up.

So....you're saying that our approximately 23,000 troops in Afghanistan are merely a "remnant"? Sounds like a bunch of people to me. But I suppose one man's remnant is another man's show of agression.

Nevertheless, we have treaties with Japan, Germany, and other nations which allow our presence in their countries - a very different thing than what we are doing in Afghanistan. We are not forcing an occupation on the people of Germany, Japan, etc. We do not meddle in the affairs of their governments whatsoever.

And CUBA??? Where have you been living for the last 40 years or so? The only US presence in Cuba is the prison at Guantanamo Bay, which we have occupied for over one hundred years via a lease agreement. Castro's government, by the way, maintains that our presence there is illegal. We have NO contact with the Cubans.

Iraq was a major threat to the stability of the Middle East, the flow of oil to our country and was a safe haven for terrorist training camps. Sadam committed genocide against his own people, was unstable and a terrorist to his own country.

Well....shame on us, then, for propping up his government. In February 1982 the State Department removed Iraq from its list of states that supported international terrorism. And in 1984 we restored formal relations with Iraq (and SH).

Depends what you call a crisis. if you think cause wall street is up then no ( no crisis). But if you want to talk about morals and our children growing up in filth. then could be a that the clinton era was the worst thing. since the Civil war when all men were not created equal.( and just so this is spelled out.) I'm saying that it is as bad as when women and blacks had no rights. which in my opinion was not right at all

Well you might need to get out more yourself. Here is the info I just pulled of the net.

Main article: Coalition combat operations in Afghanistan in 2006

Representing the international nature of the conflict, Dutch Cougar and British Chinook helicopters at Kandahar airfield, part of NATO’s ISAF force in southern Afghanistan, 2006.

From January 2006, a NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) force started to replace U.S troops in southern Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The British 16th Air Assault Brigade (later reinforced by Royal Marines) formed the core of the force in Southern Afghanistan, along with troops and helicopters from Australia, Canada and the Netherlands. The initial force consisted of roughly 3,300 British, [10] 2,300 Canadian, [11] 1,400 from the Netherlands, [12] 280 from Denmark, [13] 300 from Australia, [14] and 150 from Estonia [15]. Air support was provided by US, British, Dutch, Norwegian and French combat aircraft and helicopters.

Bill Clinton was not responsible for the morals of anyone's children except his own. But while you are wielding that brush, let us not forget all the Republican lapses in morality which occurred between 1865 and the present. By your logic, they ruined plenty of young people, too.

So if I am understanding... there is less filth now? Just checking, because your statement seems ABSURD. Really, bizarre - and obscure.

So Bush's war on civil liberties is as important to society as the abolishment of slavery? I'll agree that what Bush is doing is important, but not in the same way that you will. It NEEDS TO STOP.

*shaking fist* Damn that damn freedom of damn speech! People are responsible for so much damn smut when they can voice them(damn)selves without fear of litigation and imprisonment. Damn!

Luckily we are well on our way to getting that little obstacle taken care of. If you want, I'll cite references later. I have to go for now.

Take care peeps

Summary

As interest in troop level deployments continue, recently, President Bush announced in a February 15, 2007 speech, the administration’s plans for an increase in U.S. forces in Afghanistan, including a planned gradual increase of 3,200 U.S. troops on the ground in the coming several months. The total troop deployment in this region is expected to reach 70,000 by 2008.

I will be waiting patiently for your retraction, 396. I'm sure it will be forthcoming, just like the one where you owned up to saying we had "cleaned up" Afghanistan.

your post is misleading the 70000 is not U.S. it is what some other countrys have offerd that Bush has not accepted yet. And the 3200 is just for a few months(4 months to be exact)

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
