Bush gets good press


video1.washingtontimes.com
Mr. Bush, said Mr. Geldof, "has done more than any other president so far."


"This is the triumph of American policy really," he said. "It was probably unexpected of the man. It was expected of the nation, but not of the man, but both rose to the occasion."

great right up until

I'll be curious to see how this particular article will be twisted by those suffering from (BDS) Bush Derangement Syndrome


*sigh*


everyone is entitled to there opinion its just the worlds opinion is that bush is an ass.


BUT

Bob Geldof is right - alot of money has gone to africa - its just a crying shame that those little genocidal wars get in teh way of it actually helping people - get out of Iraw and into Africa where REAL help of removing dictators is needed.

Hey Harl,

I actually completely agree with this statement. Some African countries are suffering at incredible levels. It is the world's responsibility to help them.

ps. Sorry the BDS hurt you. I think they're making a pill for that!

You should really come over for a visit sometime. We're not all that bad ya know. Heck I'll take you out to the firing range here in Arizona and we'll pop off a few rounds together.

It'll make you feel better. It's kinda cleansing in a way.

i have plenty of friends over there you know - but its not the people that the rest of the world see`s - its the gentlemen who stands in front of the camera and proclaims the noooo cler threat from eyeran is terrible etcetera etcetera , and thats the issue - the world see`s mr bush making an ass of himself , and not mr joe smith of 999 the avenue in nowheresville who is a damn fine bloke with his 2 kids and immaculate lawn ; the image portraid by the media is of flag waving patriots wanting to bomb everything, which isn`t really the case.


which is mr geldofs point - mr bush HAS done something good and they (the media) ignored it

although for 1/2 the countries a carrier full of marines would do a better job than money

Thanks Harl, I appreciate your honesty.

I think there are many things this preident has done which have gone unnoticed. He was, however far to reactionary after 9/11 and the hole he dug was quite deep.

Time will tell with him. Legacy has a funny way of developing.

It's funny though this legacy thing............

Clinton lit up the Balkans pretty well and got a free pass on the Monica thing. I guess I'll just chalk it up to the hard lean to the left the U.S. media has. He's really quite reveered.

I'm just a little frightened with the posture change of my country. There seems to be a vast majority now that wants to hand out flowers and have quaint little chats with the Ahmadinejads of the world.

There are too many citizens that really hate their own country. I think it's a recipe for disaster. Look at what Mrs. Obam said yesterday.

This is the probable first lady. YIKES!
