Thank you, Mr. President

Steven Curtis Chapman has written and recorded a song he's streaming on his website for free right now. I haven't actually heard it since I don't have speakers with this computer, but thought I'd pass it along anyway.

Wow, what a great song.

Looks like the President is also being honored today by Rick Warren for his part in fighting the AIDS epidemic in Africa:

Cool. I'd buy that one if Steven would also write, "No Thank You, Mr. President," to make the collection complete.

Why don't you write that one, Tim? You seem to have the passion for it.

Tim I see you keep getting upset because everyone will not bash Bush yet does not agree with Obama.
I have seen many here disagree with Bush yet we all dont fall for the conspiracy theories.
I appreciate Bush and what he has done for this nation. To believe he fabricated a entire war and convinced most of congress and the senate and the UN is laughable to me. Yes the U.N agreed with the intell and it was them that made the 23 resolutions he broke.
Whether they agreed with the war or not they had the same intelligence.

President Bush helped me. That's all I can say from firsthand knowledge. I received rebates and stimulus checks at least 3 times under his watch. Otherwise, he has been as good as any president I can recall.

Oh, I see: to criticize Bush for a strategically motivated war and his hard-fought policy of indefinite detention of men without charge is to "bash Bush," but to call Obama's "Office of the President-Elect" seal the greatest form of arrogance is to "not agree with" him. Sorry, I wasn't born yesterday.

I have seen many here disagree with Bush yet we all dont fall for the conspiracy theories.

The fact is that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and we attacked it anyway. Cheney attempted to concoct a bogus link between Iraq and an al-Qaeda operative. He ordered the CIA to falsify a report to that effect. His assistant outed a CIA agent's identity as retribution for investigative reporting that found Iraq's link to Nigerian yellow cake to be fraudulent. Neoconservative doctrine, which was at inner circle of the Bush administration, held to democratizing the Middle East through military means. Paul O'Neill, Bush's Treasury Secretary, heard Rumsfeld tell Bush three days after 9/11 that they should attack Iraq, even though all evidence pointed to al-Qaeda, which had no connection to Iraq. There was absolutely no reason to attack Iraq in retaliation for 9/11, since Iraq had nothing to do with it. Just when we should have been focusing all of our efforts in Afghanistan the administration took a detour. Why? Because it saw the circumstances created in the aftermath of 9/11 as cover for enacting its pre-9/11 neoconservative Middle East policy of democratization by military means. There is absolutely no rationale for attacking Iraq after 9/11 other than a strategic one.

I appreciate Bush and what he has done for this nation.

I appreciate the good things he did. I don't appreciate the bad things he did.

To believe he fabricated a entire war and convinced most of congress and the senate and the UN is laughable to me.

The facts are that both Democrats and Republicans in Congress believed that Saddam had WMDs. So did most nations. Congress authorized the use of force against Iraq based on this belief. The UN had earlier authorized force, but did not authorize force after 9/11. The administration had ultimate responsibility for the decision to go to war, even after Congressional approval. The administration was involved in fabricating evidence to sell to the American people and the UN, and it thwarted diplomatic efforts to prevent war because it had no intentions of not going to war. It aimed to attack Iraq regardless of its feigned diplomacy and regardless of Iraq's disposition with regard to WMD. Its reason for attacking Iraq was neither WMD nor 9/11. It was to effect a geopolitical strategy, and facts and evidence and diplomacy were only impediments to effecting that strategy.

President Bush and Democrats and Republicans in Congress handed those checks to you. They further indebted the country to get points with you at election time. If you consider that a good thing, you have no moral authority whatsoever to criticize Obama for doling out money to anyone.

Otherwise, he has been as good as any president I can recall.

Yeah, I've kind of gathered that killing Iraqi babies in Iraqi mothers' wombs for American strategic purposes doesn't bother you.

[valley]

oh...




my...




gosh!

Am I the only one thinking it is just a song? All of this might be enough to drive a person to lose their religion.

You better believe it, YellowRose. Going to war for geopolitically strategic purposes and as much as waving an American flag over the dead Iraqi fetuses and maimed children our unnecessary war caused is as low as pathetic nationalism ever gets. Yeah, George Bush is as good as people who don't give a rip about fetuses where our bombs explode can remember.
