Who hits on a hard Iraq?

So......................................where them WMDs at?

keylock71: Really?

Invading a country on flimsy evidence wasn't "gambling"? I guess that's only gambling with American lives...

Sending pallets of money to Iraq with no plan to track the money's use or even who it was given to wasn't "gambling"?

Hey, stop being unfair. Bush's imaginary friend told him it was a slam dunk.

that boy ought to shut up and pray to his flying sky wizard we forget about is war crimes ass.

uh, he bailed out US auto manufacturers and it seems to have been a good bet. So there's that.

No, he wasn't a gambler, he was a straight up thief.

Mugato: Go away.

"...cause I gambled in 2003 an' that didn't turn out so well, heh heh heh."

Although he did want to gamble with our social security.

"I didn't want to gamble. I didn't want history to look back and say, 'Bush could have done something but chose not to do it...'"

Now, why would history say something like that?





Yeah, but aside from that...

Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio are critical swing states where Romney's clearly stated desire to bankrupt the auto-industry will be played on an endless loop for 6 months. I'm sure he has "The Math" which allows him to win without those states.

"If you make a bad decision in business, you ought to pay," he said. "The problem is, sometimes circumstances get in the way of philosophy."

This might be the man's only lucid comment in decades.

"If you make a bad decision in business, you ought to pay," he said. "The problem is, sometimes circumstances get in the way of philosophy."

In other words, you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em.

Election coming up, better trot out Bush again. Hopefully Obama can beat him again!

Don't forget this too

It's gambling if you don't know the outcome. The Bush administration knew the outcome: war profiteers would get rich. There was no gambling anywhere, other than the gamble that the American public would swallow the bait. Turns out that gamble was correct; the rest happened more or less according to plan.

Now then, you want to see gambling? Look at his response to Katrina. A major hurricane whips some ass, everything goes to hell, and Bush had some numbnuts in as FEMA director who knew nothing about how to do his job. That was a gamble--put some crony in a nice comfy job and hope that no major natural disaster occurs that doesn't involve horse judging. That one didn't go so well, but who gives a shiat, its not like the lower or middle class residents of the gulf coast are important.

Now watch this drive.

paygun: Election coming up, better trot out Bush again. Hopefully Obama can beat him again!

Right, not the party that supported him, or the same people who helped the jerk-off ruin the nation in the first place. They're totally different now. Unlike the Bush era Republicans who were known to ease up on regulations, offer ridiculous tax cuts to the rich, and opt for military campaigns in the Middle East, the new Republican Party has new, innovative ideas to help this nation, such as military campaigns in the Middle East, ridiculous tax cuts to the rich, and easing up on regulations.

Like how "Under Pressure" and "Ice Ice Baby" aren't the same song.

Ed Finnerty: Why hasn't Bush been traveling around the world like other former Presidents?

Yeah. And how come none of the GOP candidates are seeking his endorsement?

There should be an island somewhere where we send people who have so disgraced themselves that it would be a violation of human rights to force any decent person to look on their faces again. This piece of shiat wrecked this country, and we'll probably never recover.

Yeah, I'm not gonna put the blame on W for that last one.

Had he received a note from the CIA or someone saying "Al-Qaeda Planning To Sabotage Columbia Shuttle" a month and a half before the shuttle launched, or if the NWS or NHC told him "we have to have the shuttle land somewhere else because it might blow to bits if we try to land it in Florida" a day or two before the disaster and Bush ignored them, then you might have an argument.

I want to snark at this, but honestly this is one thing Bush not only got right, but nailed out of the park. Good on him.

Now go away. I don't want to ever hear from you again.

A gambler at least has a chance of a payoff. Iraq wasn't a gamble; it was a bonfire fueled by mountains of cash.

I didn't want history to look back and say, "Bush could have done something but chose not to do it.'

Yep.

Ed Finnerty: Why hasn't Bush been traveling around the world like other former Presidents?

THIS:



/It was bad enough when he had to give a speech

I liked Bush better when he STFU'd. You had your chance, you farked up. Shut up and go away, asshole.

King Something: Yeah, I'm not gonna put the blame on W for that last one.

Had he received a note from the CIA or someone saying "Al-Qaeda Planning To Sabotage Columbia Shuttle" a month and a half before the shuttle launched, or if the NWS or NHC told him "we have to have the shuttle land somewhere else because it might blow to bits if we try to land it in Florida" a day or two before the disaster and Bush ignored them, then you might have an argument.



NASA cuts from Bush forced them to remove some sensors from their Shuttle fleet to save money, including some from the leading edges.

Had those sensors been left in there, Houston would have detected something awry about the left wing.

So yes, Bush had a hand in this.

Bush keeps forgetting the old saying about how you should keep your mouth shut when you're an idiot instead of opening it and removing all doubt.

ultraholland: uh, he bailed out US auto manufacturers and it seems to have been a good bet. So there's that.

You know how I know you're the only one in this thread who read the farking article?

Lionel Mandrake: "My view with regards to the bailout was that, whether it was by President Bush or by President Obama, it was the wrong way to go," Romney said

No...this guy's not out of touch, or anything.

What's funny is that Romney is on record as supporting the bailouts at the time (new window). farking hypocrite.
