Could he fit the bill for worst President in history, then again they are all as bad as each other.

mmm, what war can I start next week?

turboman786

It's shocking that America can invade 2 countries with tens of thousands of troops...yet cannot do anything for their own country folk....is is because they is black?

Drunken Bungle Whore

I understand if they're trying to protect people looting TV's etc - as long as they don't shoot to kill. Problem is a lot of these people are looting food shops cos they're hungry - who wouldn't do the same thing in their shoes?

moses

u forgot INNIT boyakasha

unclebuck

The bloke is an ******* with a brain rotted by years of heavy drinking and then neo con brainwashing. Dangerously incompetent.

Best thing he did was go running to daddy and uncle Bill.

moses

lol true well said he killed a man while drunk driving as well but got no punishment

it all went wrong when he converted to the born again cult and got brainwashed with money and neocon fascism

SJ_Skyline

I agree in principle but I think the shoot to kill policy is not about killing people, it's about deterent. Steal xyz and you will get shot / steal xyz and you will get killed.

Bush really is a tw@

Patt@firstime

Exactly

Matt

Leslie

You cant expect anything else when they are dying of starvation and dehydration. We would all do the same.

Bush will probably be off for another holiday next week then!

I think it's more aimed at stopping the armed gangs which are apparently robbing hotels/shops/banks etc, raping/killing people, hijacking buses and aid trucks etc, rather than someone looting food/water to stay alive. I'm sure the national guard aren't being told 'it's open season boys - free bottle of bourbon to the highest daily bag'.

I hope this makes people see Bush for what he really is. They might not be bothered when they see him $hitting on people in other countries, but when they see him doing it to the people he's sworn to 'protect and serve' (the presidential motto) they'll start thinking differently.

The US government has massive means to help available.

For example, getting a few LCAC's in there would be amazingly useful for pulling people out and delivering supplies.





They also have thousands of transport aircraft, trucks, humvees, APCs stockpiled since they pulled a lot of kit out of europe since the cold war warmed up. I can't see why they aren't mobilising everything that works asap.

There are people looting televisions..... what's that about???

Dont forget its the American people that voted him in for a 2nd term.

SJ_Skyline

It's a pitty that bit of pretzel wasn't a bit bigger....

George W. Bush, aka "Curious George," is the poster-chimp for idiots world-wide. The man is not a leader. He is a robot. His approval rating among the citizens of the USA is around 32%. In other words, 68% of the nation thinks he is doing a HORRIBLE job, and I agree.

Georgie and his chronies own big stock in oil, and they're raking in the Benjamins (money). He's absolutely loving this increase in gasoline prices.

The man is a former drunk (probably still a drunk), as well as a former cocaine addict (probably still a cocaine addict). Mix those two traits with incompetance, and you get George W. Bush.

George W. Bush is an embarassment to the United States of America, and since his induction to the presidency, I have been ashamed to say that I am an American. In fact, I'm so ashamed, I'm honestly considering uprooting and moving to Canada. I have nothing but feelings of disgust for what this country has become since his induction.

Sinister Subaru

Mate, you have no idea....no idea. We have to live with him. All you have to do is hear about him. Damn you, you lucky Brits!

TelBoy

So do you like him or not?

Sinister Subaru

Hey, now, don't blame me. I nominated my wife! In the first election, I didn't vote, PERIOD.

scrappydoo

'Lucky brits?' I dont think so mate, have you seen the state of our government? We are an exact mirror of the US..

unclebuck

No - we get Blair. Just as bad, trust me.

khany

Are there many people in America who think like you do?

Not from what i have seen in the news/media.......they tend to be very one minded and stick by what the president is doing good or bad.

I dont understand how he got into the whitehouse for a second time?

Is it because people like yourslef who dont like him don't vote at all?

Sinister Subaru

Keep in mind, that you only read what the press allows. Most people DO NOT agree with the invasion in Iraq, and want our troops home. It is a total fabrication of the media to make it seem like the majority of the people support George W. Bush's actions. The reason you aren't going to hear otherwise, is because it would make America not only appear vulnerable, but weak and unorganized as well.

Believe me, I don't understand how he got into the Whitehouse for a second term either. Our democratic candidate in the last election, Senator John Kerry, was a very weak candidate for the presidency. The man is just as incompetent as Bush; maybe moreso. However, at this point, I question who the worst candidate was......

There are a lot of people who didn't vote in the last election, because they were unhappy with both candidates. Some people voted for 3rd party candidates, and others nominated candiates, such as with my choice. Here in the States, you can nominate a candidate. I chose to nominate my wife. Now, nobody can say that I didn't vote, so I don't have a right to bitch. In fact, Genghis Kahn, Mickey Mouse, and Kermit the Frog received quite a number of votes, believe it or not!

Again we mirror the US...Blair got in again and most people I know and myself did not vote for him this time.

Both a pair of goons

Everyone moans but they don't do anything about it - where do you start?

Leslie

He only got in the first time by the good offices of his family in Florida.

Les

Sinister Subaru

That about sums it up, and there was another f**k-up with the votes for a SECOND time in Florida, courtesy of the good offices of his family. Good ol' Jeb Bush.....
