How come that chart only starts comparing from 1974 on?

 

Look at the left black and white bar...

[El Mamerro]

Look at the left black and white bar...

 

Yeah but it's all smushed together and averaged out, not a comparison like the rest. For all I know, the pattern could be the total opposite of 1974-onwards, but was conveniently left out to make the point. I'm sure it isn't, but the chart feels incomplete nonetheless.

[the.crooked]

the chart would have been too large.

 

 

 

I just get filled with an indescribable anger slash want to destroy that man whenever I see pics of him with veterans.

 

 

I know a few infantry that would love to tell the pres how they feel about things.

I don't hate the guy, but I don't think he was a very good leader.

 

In fact, he's no leader at all. As far as I can tell, all that he's been proven capable of is doing what he was told.

 

He missed his calling. He would have been a great soldier, but he's not officer material.

[eatso]

because his name includes herbert walker.

At one point, Bush viewed aerial photos of the Auschwitz death camp taken during the war by U.S. forces and called Rice over to discuss why the American government had decided against bombing the site, Shalev said.

 

"We should have bombed it," Bush said, according to Shalev.

To the chart question - I can't vouch for their validity, but the patterns seem consistant...

I'm sure everyone has read this by now, but if not:

 

WASHINGTON - A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

 

The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

The study was posted Tuesday on the Web site of the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism.

 

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel did not comment on the merits of the study Tuesday night but reiterated the administration's position that the world community viewed Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, as a threat.

 

"The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of intelligence agencies around the world," Stanzel said.

 

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.

 

"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida," according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism staff members, writing an overview of the study. "In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003."

 

Named in the study along with Bush were top officials of the administration during the period studied: Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.

 

Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell's 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.

 

The center said the study was based on a database created with public statements over the two years beginning on Sept. 11, 2001, and information from more than 25 government reports, books, articles, speeches and interviews.

 

"The cumulative effect of these false statements — amplified by thousands of news stories and broadcasts — was massive, with the media coverage creating an almost impenetrable din for several critical months in the run-up to war," the study concluded.

 

"Some journalists — indeed, even some entire news organizations — have since acknowledged that their coverage during those prewar months was far too deferential and uncritical. These mea culpas notwithstanding, much of the wall-to-wall media coverage provided additional, 'independent' validation of the Bush administration's false statements about Iraq," it said.

woop go george. im gonna go out and try and get some haliburton/blackwater/war shares. its gonna be another great year.

[MisterSenor]

he is the president.

[Malin]

I hate George Bush because he came out of Barbara Bush's crotch. And George Senior gets to smash that.

No but seriously, not only for all the shit he has gotten this country into, is really working for the Queen's regime, he is just one of those people that are easy to hate. Such as that guy that is as old as you are and is extremely immature and when he calls you, you can not help but press the ignore button.

[SHIT$REAK]

He made 9/11 happen, which then send us into war.. but that's just my opinion.

[christo-f]

I love him. I also love Dick Chenney and Don Rumsfeld. I love how in the light of overwhelming evidence, national Intelligence Assessments, expert opinion and commonly known facts, they still stick to their line. We all laughed at Iraq's spokesman when he was saying that there were no Americans in Baghdad, well this bunch take that sort of shit to new levels.

 

I'm sure Dick is still saying that Saddam and Osama are regular bowling buddies and that there are security photos of them at nudie bars together swapping WMD's for upskirt pics of NAncy Regan.

 

If all this shit hadn't have happened, I'd be a psychologist. Instead, I'm an Eat Asian Security analyst and really happy with that outcome. So I say thank you George, thank you Dick and Thank you Donny for steering me in the direction of an interesting career!

[chicken_Dipper]

hes an american

[viperface]

Mother Fucker started offensive war against a sovereign state. Disregarding international laws.

Shit like that tends to encourage other nations to push similiarily assholeish foreign policy (see early WWII).

 

No country will ever even attempt to occupy United States. All this war shit he's been talking about is fucking stupid. Seems as if no one has any clue about the effects and prolonged negative influence that war has to all sides of conflict.

Not to mention the every day hell he has managed to inflict upon iraqi civilians for the next decades or so.

 

Posing with disfigured soldier doesn't take away the fact that iraq veterans will eventually be completely forgotten on institutional level

If you sort through any of the links in the google search above, the are articles about Bush reducing time served in Iraq/Afghanistan by troops from 15 to 12 months. I hate him because he had and McCain both were against this very same thign last year. Further his promise is not law and the troops are those deployed from August forward meaning the 12 months wont come up until a new president is in office. Had he made it law, it would mean something, but instead this retard is playing political games with the lives and families of troops.

 

I guess those in the military who keep voting Republican like this sort of stuff though, so who am I to have an opinion?

Yeah, obama isn't playing politics at all. Good call. But let's look outside the box for a second to answer your question.... perhaps its because surge has reduced the violence in iraq and the numbers of Americans being killed, and instead of relying on their personal emotions and biased coverage of the war, they are confronted with whats actually happening.... or perhaps its because Obama and Clinton are only saying they are going to end the war when they are trying to get the highly intelligent citizens of this fine country to vote for them, and if you read the fine print they are just going to greatly reduce the numbers of American forces in Iraq and then expect them to do the same job they are doing now.

[LIVERWURST*]

Help me understand: your argument is fine print? Or perhaps that Iraq is safer? Or does it have to do with the Iraqi army running away from recent conflicts? Or maybe I misunderstand the 4000 soldiers who died? I'm really confused.

 

Hopefully McCain will help me see the light.
