The bush admin

Just a little rant here. I dunno what everybody on this site thinks but iam sick of hearing about it. The current issue is cheney and the shooting. This should of never happined. Still in the news is the handling of katrina. Several high ranking people have been charged with crimes. I think that this admin is one of the worst of my time. I know iam young still but i doubt that i will see worse.

Cheney's accident is completely unrelated to the Bush administration.

That incident is blown way out of proportion, no way in hell does that little private matter affect the nation as a whole.

Not to justify the media, but I can at least see what they are saying (I dont agree!) that if Cheney is irresponsible enough to shoot some one on a hunting trip what makes him qualified to run a country. I mean, I don't agree but I can see where they are coming from...or at least what angle they are taking. Its kinda funny if you ask me.


...but yes, there are more important things...like..yanno....bird flu...it could possibly kill some one in America at some point in the near to never future...yeah.

how doesnt it? the man admitted to having a few drinks with meds before he went out to shoot. it indirectly has an effect on his position. it making him look like the laughing stock. i can pretty much garantee that the next election there will not be a republican president. the upcomming state elections the power will swtich from repub to democrate.

Cheney alone is not the entire Bush administration. This accident was blown way out of proportion.

We'll see about the next presidential election - I don't have any idea who's running..

Everyone seemed to think so with Clinton

its just a way for Bush haters to be heard even more... who cares. The media needs to focus on whats important.

yeah like the wmds that were found right or the loss of thousands of americans over a war we are not winning it seems

Im in the military... I know whats going on right now. Not the total BS the media feed you. Dont you have a sweater to go knit or something?

Let's see.

Hunting accident...or...lying under oath..hmm.

The Bush Admin. has a history of not backing down or admitting they are wrong when facts come to light proving them so. I think the media used this as an opportunity to see if Cheney would take responsibility for something that was clearly his fault. Initially, he didn't make any comments stating the incident was his fault, but he was forced to when the media started to have a field day with the whole thing.

This is nothing more than a funny example of the Bush Admin's "shoot first, ask questions later" style of politics.

lol I'm in the military and I have no idea what's going on. I'm a peon, not a cabinet member. I was in Baghdad too. Yeah the media is normally pretty off, which is kinda scary, but I'm not going to say I have an inside track to information. I'm no James Bond.

yeah, I did my time in the sandbox also... its nice how the media shows all the negatives and not us rebuilding schools, passing out food and water, and stuffed bears to kids with a blown off limb from a suicide bomber. Oh well, you all can believe what you want to believe but we need to be there.

Yeah but by the same token, not to be insensative, if a people want change enough, they will eventually realize there are more of them and will revolt. [Or at least that sounds good in my mind. lol]

Its all spin. Doesn't really bother me. Most of the time I'm too lazy to watch the news anyway.

Doesnt matter where the media stands its my personal view point. I dont belive we have done a thing over there. We have made big stones in to smaller ones. We dont need to be over there since when was it put on us to police the entire world? Its useless even when we pull out iraq will go back to the way it was. Just my view. Btw iam glad polo that you are serving in the military i support you but you cant knock me just because of a personal viewpoint on something.

dont have any problems with getting knocked for it.. i do watch the news i read the newspapers what else am i to rely on for my information. I know service people who have come back and said that we are not doing a **** thing over there. I guess that for me to be correct i would have to go over myself and take a look see

no i didnt say that yes its helping the people out but some wonder what is going to occur in the long run when we are not there to run every single aspect..

not right away but i think down the line it will just go back to the way it started

how can you say that? They have an entire government that is set up now, it's no longer a dictatorship. Also, they have their military and police units up and operational... we are just there to help provide manning until all their people are trained and ready.

Do you understand that these people hate us?? All they do all day long is think up ways to hit convoys and shoot down helo's. Then in their off time they run down to the market place to kill a few innocent mothers and children for no real reason. Just imagine what they would do without us there... it would literally be hell.

Im not saying you dont have an opinion, but the way you talk about it is that you truly know whats going on and you dont. from the few months that I was there... if I had to live there every day of my life I would kill myself (just myself, not in a marketplace haha). There is NO feeling of security, no daily routine, no jobs, no nothing for these people. that is what we are there changing.
