<p>^ yeah he ran his oil company into the ground, making texas the most polluted state in the country. </p>
<p>I can't believe you, and I thought you were a democrat! Ugh! Yeah, you're damn right "successful can be argued" the man is ruining the middle east, turning it into the Anti-America, he's run our economy into the ground as well, and</p>
<p>SINGLE-HANDEDLY CREATED THE LARGEST BUDGET DEFICIT OF ANY AMERICAN PRESIDENT....
is that the sort of businessman you want working for you?
Yeah ferst, keep telling yourself that, in that crazy, mixed up world you're living in, President Bush is "rich and successful" </p>
<p>Hah! Someone pass me the whiskey, I think I'm gonna need it to down that one!</p>
<p>Are you joking? Bush was pratically handed Arbusto. It was financed with his TRUST FUND and it failed. His next company, Harken Energy lost something in the range of $20 million and was also embroiled in an insider trading scandal. </p>
<p>Yeah, only in America can the son of a humble former President/Congressmen/HEAD OF THE FREAKIN' CIA rise to such heights. Don't make me laugh.</p>
<p>Personally I feel that he may be remembered in a hundred years for the involvement of Iraq and an amazing example of American ignorance. The primary reason that many Americans wish for Iraq to be ended is not due to the troops losts, rather, it is the cost of the war. He will be remembered as a president who had back-bone to support against the loopholes of Democracy. As Plato and Aristotle both argued for a democratic representative, time will represent that as globalization has affected the entire political system, that our government will ultimately have to shift ways to protect itself from it's own people.</p>
<p>Ultimately, if the politicians are fully persuaded to back out of Iraq, more and more pork barrel legislations will pass. As time will tell, as more and more people recieve benefits from the government, taxes will also ultimately increase. Then those recieving benefits will ask for more, and vote for more benefits. As the cycle continues, Bush may be the last amongst many that was willing to stand up to causes that he supported.</p>
<p>where in the hell did you get that idea from?</p>
<p>"Bush was pratically handed Arbusto"</p>
<p>True, but I said it wasnt from his father...he was handed Arbusto virtually through one of the Bin Ladens. Every company he merged with he became a part of their board or their CEO. By the time Harken came around he sold his shares, made a profit...I'm not saying the company benefited from this, but he personally did. </p>
<p>In no way am I implying any sort of good businessman with the govt...which I think he is doing a poor job in. Bush is acting like a friggin liberal, spending spending spending</p>
<p>Bush is a bad businessman. Period. There are more qualifications to being a good businessman than achieving personal wealth (which he hasn't even done since his early business ventures were funded by a TRUST FUND given to him by his parents). Given his track record of running things into the ground, I wouldn't trust him to run a liquour store in Ireland. </p>
<p>Hey, I recently made $1500 on a nicely timed call on Activision, that doesn't mean I should be running an EB Games.</p>
<p>If you made millions I'd call you a good business person. If you make a substanital profit for yourself....I dont see businessmen as too caring about other people, except those people on which their salary rests. But lets not talk about business, its not one of my best topics.</p>
<p>Since my internet was down for 3 damn days:( :( and I got it back in the morning when I can't use it. :(:(:( I'm gonna reply to what Bendumfront said in pg. 2. </p>
<p>In Vietnam, Vietnamese were killed like anything with NAPALM. Imagine yourself encased in a ball of flames, only THOUSANDS of people just like youself whailing and screaming of pain and aggony. MANY villages were accidentally bombed with napalm. Not to mention our own American soldiers that were bombed accidently as well. To put it mildly, Vietnam was more violent than Iraq will EVER be.</p>
<p>And how is voting in the next election gonna help what's going on in Israel-Hezbollah? This has nothing to do with the US, really. Plus, the fact is that Bush is not running in '08 (since he can't. Thank god for Roosevelt's death. :p That was just a joke, for the unfunnies over here. It was funny! Get it? Funny! Okay it wasn't. I tried, tho :( <em>cries</em>) Israel is gonna retreat in Monday, anyway. (which makes no sence. I mean, They are in already. They might as well finish the job :/)</p>
<p>ICrisis: LOL. I actually made money off EB. I sold off 7 Xbox 1 games (I got them for 5-7 bucks each) and got a DS when it was $150. Good to be a scamming American. :p</p>
<p>^^^^
I know. I went online, saw that on Yahoo, and said W T F??!!??</p>
<p>It made no sence and was sooo illogical. </p>
<p>Translation: The 1000+ deaths in this war was for nothing.
This has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my 16 short years of existence. It's not like they can't physically beat Hezbollah. I reeeeeeely don't get.</p>
<p>caving in to political pressure.....either way Israel is going to be chastised, staying in or not. but personally, they should finish the damn job they started</p>
<p>And what is that job? Huh? Blowing Lebanon to pieces? Killing more Lebanese? Suffocating any movement for reform? Enciting more extremism? What sort of havoc do they need to wreak in order for them to "finish the damn job" huh?</p>
<p>it would look like somebody actually had a heart, and a brain for that matter. If anything, the Isrealis are only making Hezbollas and Sheik Nasrallah look better, this is what he WANTS, he wants his people to see how cruel the Isrealis are because then he will look good and attract a larger following. Remember, terrorists wins by not losing. Israel will always be the loser, in the eyes of its Arab neighbors, because it is Isreal.</p>
<p>Ah, so having a brain mean you go into a country to thrust out the terrorist arm of an orgainization, you destroy buildings and kill civilians along with relatively low terrorist deaths. And instead of converting from bombing the hell out of everything and using infantry to expel these people from their underground bunkers...you just pull out with half of the country you bombed already destroyed? Like I said, its lose lose anyway for Isreal...but the least they couldve done was finish their mission and change their poor strategy</p>
<p>you still never told me how i came off as a democrat earlier? :)</p>
<p>Umm what you said made little sense. "you destroy buildings and kill civilians along with relatively low terrorist deaths. And instead of converting from bombing the hell out of everything and using infantry to expel these people from their underground bunkers...you just pull out with half of the country you bombed already destroyed?" </p>
<p>That is exactly why I said pulling out would look like someone finally got a brain over there in Isreal. </p>
<p>Yeah, and I said it was lose-lose for Isreal too, so it makes no sense that you continue to insist they need to finish their "mission." Um, why if you and I both agree it's lose-lose?!?</p>
<p>To answer your question, I think I got ur screenname mixed up with a democrat's on here. CLEARLY, I was wrong. Hah</p>
<p>Its lose lose in their international relations...therefore I suggest they finish what they started. </p>
<p>Id rather lose in the eyes of most and finish what I came to do rather than lose in the eyes of most and not accomplish a damn thing other than simple destruction</p>
