Incorrect - since your nation are judged upon your presidents words, actions AND behaivor.
If you say no to this - then I guess you know better how euros, asians and so on, view your country better then we do it yourselfs...erhm...

I'm pretty sure the President is dyslexic- thus reading a speech aloud is troubling for him enough as it is without tens of millions watching him. Give the guy some credit....he's probably doing a better job than 90% of the people out there, most of whom can not deliever a coherent and flowing speech to a classroom, much less a nation.

Pretty sure he's dyslexic. He's speaking better than most people on this forum probably could in public, not to mention in front of millions of people. At this point he's also having to think on his feet, which means that quite naturally he'll be taking some short pauses and "uhs" to continue his response.

Actually....your understanding of the American political system smacks of ignorance. The President, by and large, is merely a mouth-piece for the true legislative and ruling body of America- Congress. The President himself has very little in terms of direct power- most of which comes from the power to veto new laws (which itself can be over-turned by the Supreme Court). He can only suggest policy both economically and internationally. Granted his words have significant weight, but in the end it is Congress which must approve any action.
In short....he is only a man, a man who's job it is to relate what the massive instituion we call "government" has decided and agreed upon to the people.

Fox news (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,117017,00.html)
This has been tough weeks in that country. Coalition forces have encountered serious violence in some areas of Iraq," Bush said in a prime-time press conference.
Bush said three groups -- Saddam Hussein backers, insurgents, including those backed by Shiite cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr (search), and foreign terrorists — are fighting against the U.S.-led coalition. He warned that Al-Sadr "must answer the charges against him and disband his illegal militia," which has been responsible for much of the violence as well as recent kidnappings of foreign workers in Iraq.
"They want to run us out of Iraq and destory the democratic hopes of the Iraqi people. The violence we have seen is a power grab ... it's not a civil war, it's not a popular uprising. Most of Iraq is relatively stable," he said.
The president opened the news conference with a 20-minute statement on Iraq in which he reminded the country what's at stake in Iraq and repeated his commitment to transfer sovereignty to Iraqi civilians on June 30.
"Were the coalition to step back from the June 30th pledge, many Iraqis would question our intentions and feel their hopes betrayed. And those in Iraq who trade in hatred and conspiracy theories would find a larger audience and gain a stronger hand. We will not step back from our pledge. On June 30th, Iraqi sovereignty (search) will be placed in Iraqi hands," he said.

Out of context quote.
The question asked was, "What would you have done differently with the War on Terror?"
He couldn't think of anything to say and I don't blame him.
Pretty sure he's dyslexic.
I have also read that.
If that is the case, he has probably had to go through a lot just to be able to read outloud like that.
I've got family with learning disabilities, and it's definitely hard for them to learn or think in the same way as the rest of us. People with ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia many times get labeled as unintelligent or stupid by the people who don't understand those problems.
My kid sister has ADHD, and it's definitely a morale-raiser for her to see that people with learning disabilities can do great things and hold high offices.

I know very well how how the american system works, both juridicial and political. Do you know how any european system works?
Btw, you are still incorrect - since you somehow try to tell me that I don't know how he is representing your country according to US (non-us-citicens) by refering to the political system. That is pure nonsence.
By our logic you know better how others feel by the US or how others feel about your president and his PR-value to your country then the once that are affected - wonderfull.
(Btw, incase you aren't able to read english properly, take note what I said about the kings and queens in Europe - they don't have any power _at all_ in most countries, and are still considered 'PR-officers' for their respective countries - how strange huh?)

I think President Bush has done extremely well under immense pressure to get results. He has my respect and admiration. I dont think any other President would have had the courage (balls as some would say :)) to do what he has done. If I was American, he'd have my vote for sure.

I have to say, I watched the whole thing and I think he does truly believe that what he's doing is necessary and right, and that is more important than whether he makes a few slip ups or not in his speech. Whether it's been gone about it in the right way is a different matter .... I don't know the answer to that one.

Well, contrary to Finland for instance, we have a lot of 'black' people here, aswell as many other groups, since we are kinda open for imigration (or so, more then other scandinavian countries).
Due to recent events, large immigration-groups from kosovo and clashes between turks and kurds, aswell as turks and greeks, black acctually have a higher social value by default.

say what you will about Bush, but I think he truly believes what he says and isn't just bull****ting his way through it. when he says something, he means it, and he follows through on it.
I happen to like the fact that he doesn't sound like an elitist bastard when he is giving a speech, a al AlGore. he speaks in plain language and speaks right past the snobs in the media and right to the public.
I don't agree with most of his stances on domestic issues, but to me the most important issue is security, and I damn sure won't entrust that to the pacifists and apologists in the democrat party.

To be honest, a 1200 on the SAT isn't amazingly impressive anymore. Maybe it was back then, I don't know. Today it's definitely a strong score but I doubt it'd get you into an Ivy League school.

I also think you are the same idiot as truthsayer...again i think the mods need to do IP crosschecks.
As for the speech, i think he did a great job. its not his grammer or speaking abilities that you people should be scrutinizing. Its the message.

Keep those thoughts and reasons short and sweet (that way you don't have to think too hard). You don't think that the instagators of 9/11 cost those lives? Were we meant to roll over and say we are sorry? Yah, that would have have been better! I don't see hoe those lost lives have ruined America. Our brave soldiers that have died made the ultimate sacrifice, so this country could move forward into a safer world. It has been tragic for many families, but I don't think it has ruined America.

I voted for President Bush, and I will vote for President Bush again, I think he is doing a better job then Al Gore would have done, and will do a better job then Senator John Kerry would do. As for the economy, I am guessing people are saying the collapse of Enron, Worldcom, and the resulting loss of jobs are Bush's fault. Hate to break it to you Bush haters/Clinton lovers, but these companies were skimming the books LONG before Bush came into office, time just caught up to them and they happened to collapse at the time they did. Jobs have been going overseas long before Bush came into office, and sadly they will continue to go overseas, and the President can NOT force coporations to stop the practice.
Personally, I feel that Operation Iraqi Freedom was the right war at the wrong time. We should have stayed in Afghanistan til bin Laden was neutralized then moved on to Iraq.
Now Operation Desert Storm only has a cease fire correct? Now I believe that under UN Resolution 1441 and Iraq's continued firing on US/UK planes over the Northern and Southern No-Fly Zone's thus violating the Cease Fire Agreement the US and the Coalition of the Willing was justified in toppling Saddam Hussein. Oh, have we also forgotten that the Clinton Administration drafted the policy to topple in the late 1990's???
Unfortunately the US, being the world's only super power, is damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

I know very well how how the american system works, both juridicial and political. Do you know how any european system works?
Btw, you are still incorrect - since you somehow try to tell me that I don't know how he is representing your country according to US (non-us-citicens) by refering to the political system. That is pure nonsence.
By our logic you know better how others feel by the US or how others feel about your president and his PR-value to your country then the once that are affected - wonderfull.
(Btw, incase you aren't able to read english properly, take note what I said about the kings and queens in Europe - they don't have any power _at all_ in most countries, and are still considered 'PR-officers' for their respective countries - how strange huh?)
I understand that the President has significant PR value, hell, that's almost his job in a nut-shell. However, when people spew ignorant crap like "I hate Bush" or something to that effect, it shows their ignorace. Generally speaking, most people in foreign countries who make such judgements don't know the details of the American political system and believe the President is the one who decides when we go to war and with whom. They hold the President personally responsible for the actions and decisions of literally hundreds if not thousands of people who (supposedly) represent ~300 million people from across the political spectrum. The true blame should be on them (senators, congressment, chief justices, agency heads, department heads, et. al.) and not so much the president as an individual.
For example, the King of (insert-random-European country here) is a Asshole with a capital A. Does that mean that the country's government is wrong? ineffective? corrupt? racist? etc. Of course not. By the same manner people should cut the President a little slack. Does he represent the country? Yes. Should he be held solely responsible for it? No.

I watched the speech today as well. If you look at the transcript and take out all the uh's and ah's and unnatural pauses its still not good but it isnt terrible.... The problem is that Bush just sounds like a 4th grade child in front of the microphone. He is a terrible, no the worst, public speaker in US presidential history. (Nixon and Reagan come in second and third).
Notice he called both Rumsfeld and Powel "secretary of state"
not to mention he outright avoided and didnt answer half the questions thrown at him and he had to ask for a repeat of even a two part question!!!!! He cant even anser a two part question without asking for them to repeat it..... JEEZUS
And he didnt respond very well to the question of why he demanded that VP Cheney be with him to help him in the hearings over 9/11.....he sounded like he was too frightened to do it by himself as the committee requested. His only respnse was "to better serve the committie". BULL****!!! The Committee itself REQUESTED he be seperated form Cheney.....oh well.....
Its almost like his own party doesnt trust him to be by himself.... Its really a bit embarrassing to me as an American that he is my leader........sorry to say it but it must be said......
Overall I give his performance a "D-". He gets past the F mark just for showing up and not calling in sick.........
Also it seems like every time there is something important in the news I hear "President Bush could not be reached because he was relaxing at his ranch in Texas"..... The way I see it, Bush is just the "innocent religious idiot" talking to Americans with simplistic analogies and phrases while the real people like Cheney, Wolfowits, Rice, Rumsfeld, Powell, etc run the damn country........

Bush's speech was easily the worst I've ever seen by an American president. Actually, his 17-minute speech wasn't bad, but the Q&A was absolutely horrid. He didn't answer a single question directly, as usual. He seemed completely unprepared for the line of questioning on 9/11 and the commission -- usually his handlers have already pre-screened the questions so he has a fighting chance.
Let's face it -- the guy is a puppet for the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove/RNC power-base, and so he is not the one devising any original ideas. Thus, he cannot, as evidenced in the handling of a lot of questions, defend coherently any of the policies he's implemented. The exception is that he is sure (and so am I) that terrorists are evil and America is good, which are concepts he hammered into the ground last night.
I think Bush is better than Gore at this point in time, but man, Bush will lose the upcoming election on his own merits if he and the administration don't get their acts together in terms of communicating an understandable strategy for Iraq. Kerry will tear Bush apart in the debates (if Bush has the balls to participate in more than one).
It's too bad that Bush can't tell us Americans and the world why we really invaded Iraq:
1) To show the Arab street that you cannot f*** with the USA
2) To have a new base (and better base) to influence Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, et al.
3) To draw terrorists into battle, outside of the US, so we can eliminate them.
God bless the president, and God bless the USA.

Still, I think Bush has done more to damage the prestige and standing of America than any European........but I also cant shake the feeling that this is the very thing the European's have waited for, the very opportunity to bellittle America and bloody our noses a bit..........
I cant shake the feeling that Europe is not the good freind of America that we (Americans) ounce thought....they will turn around and bite us in the ass like a poorly trained dog when they see the chance.......which makes me very untrusting of Europe.......I seriously doubt Europe would come to our aid and risk it all to help us if we ever faced a dire situation...
Even with Europe's committments to A-stan, they are still very very small ones and I think Europe is hoping America expends all its wealth and power in A-stan and Iraq so that we will be weakened.............In this sense I see Europe as an enemy or sorts, or at least as the kind of freind you keep close when times are good but at arms length when times are bad........a "fair weather freind" as they say...

obd, no, now you're paranoid.
Europe, in general, isn't anti-american, but anti-Bush. Europeans don't trust his agenda, his 'mission from God', the neocons etc.
That has been said often, but it seems like that subtle difference between anti-americanism and anti-neoconism isn't really understood on this board (and the US in general?).
IF Europe wants to weaken the US or if Europe is quietly watching the US taking a bloody nose it's because of Bush and his hawks. Their arrogant, self-righteous, missionary attitude has cost the US much sympathy and respect.
That's why the general attitude in Europe (and in much of the rest of the world) is: They wanted that war, so let them look how they'll clean up this mess now. They didn't want to listen to our advice, so be it.
Which does NOT mean that we gloat in each and every death of US soldiers. They mostly are kids sent on a mission they don't really understand. They too are victims of Bush's war.

DAD probably told him there would be days like these. Just as President George W. Bush was taking a political beating over what his Government could have done to stop the September 11 attacks, Iraq erupted into the worse violence since last year's war. Mr Bush responded yesterday with a speech in which he did not waver from the course he has charted from the start. He justified the war to remove Saddam Hussein as a warmonger with form in using weapons of mass destruction. And he promised that the US would hand over power to an Iraqi government on June 30 with elections to follow for a national assembly to follow next January. "A free Iraq is vital because 25 million Iraqis have as much right to live in freedom as we do."

First off, the 95% of Iraqis have FAR more freedom now then when Saddam was in charge. These anti-american protests wouldnt even be allowed under saddam. nor would the newspapers, or TV. Or the religious festivals. None of it would be allowed.
And i think the president made our goals and timeline very clear. We will stay until the insurgents have been pacified, at which point, or even before then, control over the countries domestic affairs will be turned over to the Iraq Governing Council. Once that occurs, the insurgents are disarmed and the New Iraqi Army is trained, the number of US troops in country will drastically be reduced, leaving only a small security and engineering force to ensure that the country remains secure and to rebuild the war torn country. To quote bush:
"We will stay until the job is complete, and not one day longer"
My guess is we will probably have large contingent in country until 2006, with a small contingent of Engineers, security, CT and training personel remaining in country until 2008. But no one can accurately give anything more the a guess. it all depends on how well the Iraqis can take government and army into their own hands.

IMHO, Bush did fine last night. He didnt give what the press wanted which was giving John Kerry's campaign soundbites of admiting responsibilities to 9/11. Who here honestly thinks that the press is actually on his side.

We seem to be willing to fight and die alongside you is that not enough?
they will turn around and bite us in the ass like a poorly trained dog when they see the chance.......which makes me very untrusting of Europe.......
Not so much a poorly trained dog just one that like to think for itself sometimes. We aint no f*cking poodle.
Even with Europe's committments to A-stan, they are still very very small ones and I think Europe is hoping America expends all its wealth and power in A-stan and Iraq so that we will be weakened.............In this sense I see Europe as an enemy or sorts, or at least as the kind of freind you keep close when times are good but at arms length when times are bad........a "fair weather freind" as they say...

Can't say that I was so happy about Ronald Reagan when he was President. He had some "mistakes", but who's perfect. But afterwards when he retired, I learned him in new ways. Not that I didn't knew what he had done earlier, but when the heat was off I could see him in a new light. There is no doubt that he was a great states man, and will go in to history as on of the best Presidents that the USA as ever had.
And to see how he's reduced today due to his Alzheimer is truly sad. I wished that he could have had many healthy years and really enjoyed his resting days. He so did earn it.

I don't even wanna try to comment that crazy talk. He obviously runned away from the Funny Farm and no longer is subdued to medication.

Post spammer. :D
8 pages later how wrong could you be? :P
Hehe, you may call me what you wish, but still. I feel that my motives for disliking Bush may be different from certian European's motives...... To clarify, my dislike of Bush is based on my patriotism. I see Bush as taking my nation down a dangerous path...I dont like his foreign policy approach nor do I like his domestic policy.... I think he has proven himself a threat to our constitution, our international prestige, has helped wreck the economy and reverse the good of the Clinton years, he has reversed internaitonal and domestic environmental protection, he has reduced the protection of privacy Americans used to have, he has attempted even to bipass due process of law towards American citizens suspected of "terrorist" activities, under his rule the government beaurocracy has bloated to a level never before seen in the nations history (something Republicans used to be against) and his tax cuts mean nothing, especially after gas prices doubled........only that the nation is more in debt then it has ever been in its history.........
I must say though that although I didnt support the starting of war with Iraq, for strategic reasons, now that we are there I support our goals and our troops..........and the good that has been done such as arresting the tyrant Saddam Hussein.....
What I was trying to say is that, at least for a large minority of Europeans, I fear that thier anti- Bush stance is more than just that, it is instead indicative of a wider anti-Americanism..... I am not just throwing this out. I read local French, German, Spanish, and Italian papers that I get off the net and translate... Sometime I go to the foreign language department at my University for help in that and other times I use programs.... I even have paid memberships.....
Many European newspapers, especially French, are EXTREMELY anti-American and very combative and aggresive with regards to how they suggest to oppose the US. Example is using language such as "we must fight the threat of American influence around the world" and such........
What worries me is that the "anti-Bush" stance of many Europeans may be a manisfestation of a deeper anti-Americanism........
I will watch very very closely how Europe reacts towards America and John Kerry if he is elected..... Only then will I come to any conclusions.... I wasnt trying to make a statement of fact, just expressing a general unease many Americans are feeling these days about Europe... We are not quite sure of Europes motives in this regard......especially France and Germany whose leaders have publicly asserted that they see themselves as counters to US influence and American world view.....in essence they seek to oppose our goals and set thier own agendas.......and have made no secret that they seek to derail out efforts, even contradicting themselves from time to time with "America must succeed in Iraq because it is in the worlds interest"= yeah maybe so, but France wants to see us bleed out in the process............or so it seems at times......
No I am not a radical and its interesting that some of you Europeans respond to what I said with "he must have escaped the funny farm" or whatever....... What that shows me is that you Europeans lack an understanding that many Americans feel that you have overplayed your hand so to speak and gone too far in sidetracking and undermining US efforts in Iraq to a dangerous level.........this goes especially to France and Germany.........
Again though, this is just a feeling in the back of many Americans minds. A general unease that has not really manifested itself as anti-Europeanism as of yet.....Again, I will watch with great interest how Europe restructures its relationship with American when, hopefully, John Kerry becomes president............

Intersting quesiton.
On a serious note, im starting to wonder if he is well.
He looked very old last night, surely from the stress of the job. I would have grey hair to if i had to put up with so much ****.
But the job must be really putting a heavy burden on his health id imagine. He used to look alot younger, but since 9-11, he looks older and more tired everytime he speeks.
Still not to the droopiness level of john kerry though.

04-14-2004, 04:37 PM
I just wanted to say few things.
First of all, it doesn't really matter on the international field if he is dyslexic or has other problems with public speaking. The fact is, he is not percieved as a good public speaker. If you place no value on this, how the president is percieved in other countries and how he is viewed.. well I just think that might be little short sighted. Now, Bush isn't horrible speaker, but he is not very good either and what matters to the rest of the world is how we see it, not what the facts are. No one here cares if the person has problems and has gone through a lot in his life and is now a winner. It might be difficult for some people to truly understand, but make no mistake, it has certain value and that value has direct effect on how the rest of the world citizens see him, and the ignorant ones would stereotype the whole country based on that. It's stupid, but that's how it goes.
Furthermore, every kind of remarks about Europe is not seen very nice if it's like few of the posts here. You don't retaliate to critisism, no matter how stupid it is, with bashing back. Then you are just lowering yourself to that same level and it really doesn't matter who started it. It's the internet my friends and most of us too have freedom of speech in our countries. If you don't like that some non-americans talk bad about Bush, that's too bad, but it helps if you can intelligently counter those claims without passion. You can hide it and call it Patriotism, loving your country and supporting the troops, but what it really is.. is just unability to counter those claims. You make the other guy look bad for bashing, not yourself, that's how you win, and if you love your country, that's how you make your fellow citizens look better for all the rest of us.
And for the record, I don't live in a ****hole and if you have something against me because I'm European, then you are a racist and bigot. If you do not realize the variety of Europe and that there are actually many countries in it, that differ from each other like day and night, then that's something to look into and read about. And don't forget, we are your friends. Sending troops or not, we still are and friends can and should critisize each other, but in proper manners because bashing leads nowhere..
Sure there's some anti-americanism in Europe and everywhere else too. But don't think you are some kind of special breed that is hated because everyone is allegedly jealous. We are hated too. My country is hated somewhere. I've been harrased in other countries just because I was a tourist. Jerks and bigots are everywhere. Who cares?! Do not fall into the same trap of paranoid thinking, because it is not true. Especially now, when terrorism is on the rise, we should remember who our friends are. Never forget it. It's very important. We will only see the value of our friendship if it's gone and then it's late. Terrorists will be creaming their pants at that point. Even they couldn't have expected jackpot like that. West must be united and stand strong through the little arguments and petty little things. Like a good marriage.
And this goes for all, not just Americans, but everyone equally. **** just gets escalated out of proportions these days with internet and keyboard warriors lose their tempers, stereotyping is wild and everyone just gets offended and 99% of those are for no good reason too.
To sum it up, we are friends, and we have the same goals and we want the same things. We think differently and come from different cultures and histories, and 99% of arguments are basically just misunderstanding the other one. I travel a lot to the US and Europe as well. It kills me to see guys bashing each other when I see there's no reason for it, they just misunderstood each other.
That's it.

If we Americans had a command of another language like Sergeant does (and most other posters on this board), then we would probably be better off. I can barely remember my French and Russian, I hate to say, since my sorry ass hasn't been to Europe for about 10 years.
As for Bush, it is patriotic to criticize him -- I care about our country, our national security, our economy and our Constitution, not about some stupid political party. These are tough times now, and so some things (e.g., national security) become more important, as hard as that is for me to swallow. Bush is going to lose the election because he seems like he and the administration are hiding something.

Universal what do you hate about what he has done to America? I've lived here for the past ten+ years and in my opion (and that's all it is, MY OPION) life under his presidency has been no worse than life under the previous president. I have been affected by the 9/11 events, but he had no control of a bunch of fanantic damaging our country and economy, and in the years since everything he has done has been for the good of the country and it's people. He had to make some tough decision and thank god he had balls to the make though decisions.Do you live in America? Have you spent alot of time over here before and during his presidency?
Imagine a world were corporations choose leaders, put them in power, and have them rewrite laws to increase profit. Imagine a world were corporations start wars, to create and increase their man further products. Imagine a world were the news media, owned by these corporations, only tells the public what they want them to know. Imagine the president who sells out his people and their environment to boost the wealth of a few. Unbelievable? It should be.

IF Europe wants to weaken the US or if Europe is quietly watching the US taking a bloody nose it's because of Bush and his hawks. Their arrogant, self-righteous, missionary attitude has cost the US much sympathy and respect.
That's why the general attitude in Europe (and in much of the rest of the world) is: They wanted that war, so let them look how they'll clean up this mess now. They didn't want to listen to our advice, so be it.
Which does NOT mean that we gloat in each and every death of US soldiers. They mostly are kids sent on a mission they don't really understand. They too are victims of Bush's war.
There have been European leftists that have been gloating over the deaths of American GI's right here on this forum. One commie POS from Finland was gloating over the recent deaths and mutilations of the four Americans in Fallujah.
Much of the advise coming from Europe has been bad advise. The governments in Europe suppported Saddam Hussien for the oil. It is why the French built a nuclear power plant in Iraq. It is why German chemical companies supplies Saddam's regime with everything they needed to make the chemical weapons that were used to gas many thousands of Kurds.
Another factor is the many Leftists in socialist Europe. They loath the USA for having fought and won the Cold War for capitalism.

The message was that as the worlds most powerful country, it is our duty to humanity to ensure that freedom and liberty are protected. And that we will see it through. And amen to that. On 9-11 Bush said we will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. We havent. And we wont.

Yes Sixgun, everything bad originates from Europe. Just think about it, two most destructive ideologies of mankind were born in continental Europe. Communism and Fascism. While the US was basking in the light of democracy, dictators rampaged throughout Europe. Luckily USA came to rescue but still those rats turn their backs at you when you want to spread the gospel of Democracy and Freedom in places where no civilized man has gone before.

Why do you find me so objective dude? I've told you how much I love and support the states, the people, the troops, yet you seem to ignore all of that and just focus on the negatives that I say, which is directed towards your government only. They are brainwashing you guys, you know how TV commercials, magazine adds, and everything else in a "free" country use specific words to get your attention and make you believe what they want you to believe? Your government is using that same concept on its people. It has been for many years, and not just in the US. You guys believe that the US is always 100% right about everything they say and do. That's not true, this is war, its a big misunderstanding, no one is 100% loyal.

The US Military doesn't take in idiots. They're serving their country and know why they're there, whether they agree or not. You also act as if the US is the only country to recruit "kids" (as if 18+ years could be considered such) into their military. Where do you get the impression that they don't understand what they're doing? Have you had first-hand interaction with US troops over there?

In regards with the war in Iraq, it has been explained before as to why many europeans don`t trust Bush`s reasons for it (mainly were are the WMD? why so much interest over the oil? etc), but let me tell you that all of Europe was with the US on 9/11 to a degree not seen before, however Mr. Bush, wether willing or unwilling, has caused all that goodwill to erode. And take into consideration that I belief that my country (Spain) should and will continue besides the US in Iraq and in all places were terrorism is being fought, so I aint no pantsy leftist, however I am playing devil`s advocate here.
Specifically in regards to cooperating with Saddam, there is a really funny pic of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam, other pics of afghan soldiers firing US made stingers at russian chopper, and years later those same guys are the ones behind Al Qaeda. Common enemies make for strange bedmates.
And in regards to ANY person who makes fun of other people`s death (like those finns in the commie site), they should be whipped for being @ssholes- or send to the front lines so they can ¨appreciate¨ for themselves what war is (and perhaps grow up). Saying that, if all terrorists killed themselves right now, I would laught my ass off (but terrorists don`t count as people).

Europe, in general, isn't anti-american, but anti-Bush. Europeans don't trust his agenda, his 'mission from God', the neocons etc.
Yeah, because he's a religious man, the war must be over religion.
Did you listen to his speech yesterday? going on about the all mighty had made it his job to bring "freedom" to the world? It's that kind of mix of religion and politics Europeans are weary of. Afterall it sounds like something Bin Laden would say.
That's why the general attitude in Europe (and in much of the rest of the world) is: They wanted that war, so let them look how they'll clean up this mess now. They didn't want to listen to our advice, so be it.
So be it. We have plenty of people helping us out in Iraq, in case you haven't noticed, many of them European as well. The mess will get cleaned, and the pessimism coming from people isn't going to stop that.
The majority of the population in pretty much all those European countries were against the war. The "mess" will be cleaned over long years, even then the repecussions of the war will exist for decades.

you need to grow up.
You need to admit your ducimus and shut up and stop destroying this forum. Every single thread thats started is filled with rubish by you and your alter egos. You dont have any intelligent things to add. You make no intelligent arguments. You give no examples to support your arguments. If your going to come here and say for example, that bush ruined our country, tell how and why, dont change the subject like you did. Changing the subject is for people who are intellectually weak and instead of forming a supportable, viable opinion, ride the wave of hate only to try to distance yourself from it when it comes back at you.
So please, leave this forum, your making a mess here. Your multiple accounts, your hijacking threads, your lame personal attacks. Your crude feelings....
Youll never make it in JTF-2. ALong with the physical training there is a harsh mental evaluation and character selection process that is done by the people recruiting the candidates. You wont pass. Dont waste your time. You cant make decisions under pressure. You cant adopt to situations and stick to your guns. instead you come down to harsh words and changing the subject. You lack the stability that a JTF candidate must have. You lack the traits and morals that a JTF candidate must have. And most importantly, you lack the maturity that a JTF candidate must have.
Dont bother, they will not take you.
In a situation where you were captured by the enemy, instead of gathering intelligence with regard to who he is, where you are, and why you are there...instead of misleading him with false information and instead of keeping yourself alive, you are the kind of person who would either curse at him, or try something stupid. And either you, or someone in your squad, would wind up dead because of that.

Okay, am I missing something? Is Universal claiming to be me, or do you guys think I am this guy? Get the mods to check our IP's for all I care. I could care less what this guy has to say, or what any of you have to say to him for that matter, just don’t mix me up with other forum members. Check with the mods if in doubt. This is my only account, and has been my only account.
I can’t believe the nerve of some people.
Anybody care to apologize? I don’t know who is worse, thy guys who pretends to be me, or these spiteful little prick forum members.

Good points cut, but regardless of his speech, to say that the war is about religion is extremely presumptuous and assuming.
And usa, shut the hell up already, you're giving me a goddamn tumor. TO say that every person on this board recently who disagrees with you is actually Ducimus is one of the f***ing stupidest things I've heard in my time here. I know you feel the need to lash out on people who even remotely challenge your views on the world, but SHUT THE HELL UP!

Any member who has been here for some significant amount of time would be able to discern the difference from my style of writing and this Universal guy. If you somehow doubt that I am adhering to forum rules by accessing multiple accounts, Pm the mods and they can verify for you. But please don’t 'cry wolf' all over this forum with the same finger pointing nonsense. Comments like these only remind me how juvenile this forum can be.

Everything you say here is wrong. I tried to reason with you earlier, but I guess you don't want to, and you're calling me immature? You're accusing me of things I haven't done and things I haven't said. I allready know what a jtf-2 candidate must be like. Trust me bud, I am not what you described up there. Show me where I wrote the words "bush ruined america". Show me how I have multiple accounts, or how I hijack threads. I said it before and I'll say it again; you need to grow up.

I just wanted to say few things.
First of all, it doesn't really matter on the international field if he is dyslexic or has other problems with public speaking. The fact is, he is not percieved as a good public speaker. If you place no value on this, how the president is percieved in other countries and how he is viewed.. well I just think that might be little short sighted. Now, Bush isn't horrible speaker, but he is not very good either and what matters to the rest of the world is how we see it, not what the facts are. No one here cares if the person has problems and has gone through a lot in his life and is now a winner. It might be difficult for some people to truly understand, but make no mistake, it has certain value and that value has direct effect on how the rest of the world citizens see him, and the ignorant ones would stereotype the whole country based on that. It's stupid, but that's how it goes.
Furthermore, every kind of remarks about Europe is not seen very nice if it's like few of the posts here. You don't retaliate to critisism, no matter how stupid it is, with bashing back. Then you are just lowering yourself to that same level and it really doesn't matter who started it. It's the internet my friends and most of us too have freedom of speech in our countries. If you don't like that some non-americans talk bad about Bush, that's too bad, but it helps if you can intelligently counter those claims without passion. You can hide it and call it Patriotism, loving your country and supporting the troops, but what it really is.. is just unability to counter those claims. You make the other guy look bad for bashing, not yourself, that's how you win, and if you love your country, that's how you make your fellow citizens look better for all the rest of us.
And for the record, I don't live in a ****hole and if you have something against me because I'm European, then you are a racist and bigot. If you do not realize the variety of Europe and that there are actually many countries in it, that differ from each other like day and night, then that's something to look into and read about. And don't forget, we are your friends. Sending troops or not, we still are and friends can and should critisize each other, but in proper manners because bashing leads nowhere..
Sure there's some anti-americanism in Europe and everywhere else too. But don't think you are some kind of special breed that is hated because everyone is allegedly jealous. We are hated too. My country is hated somewhere. I've been harrased in other countries just because I was a tourist. Jerks and bigots are everywhere. Who cares?! Do not fall into the same trap of paranoid thinking, because it is not true. Especially now, when terrorism is on the rise, we should remember who our friends are. Never forget it. It's very important. We will only see the value of our friendship if it's gone and then it's late. Terrorists will be creaming their pants at that point. Even they couldn't have expected jackpot like that. West must be united and stand strong through the little arguments and petty little things. Like a good marriage.
And this goes for all, not just Americans, but everyone equally. **** just gets escalated out of proportions these days with internet and keyboard warriors lose their tempers, stereotyping is wild and everyone just gets offended and 99% of those are for no good reason too.
To sum it up, we are friends, and we have the same goals and we want the same things. We think differently and come from different cultures and histories, and 99% of arguments are basically just misunderstanding the other one. I travel a lot to the US and Europe as well. It kills me to see guys bashing each other when I see there's no reason for it, they just misunderstood each other.
That's it.
This post should be stickied, or FAQed. There are so many posters on this forum that seem to be sociopathic but in reality I think are simply exorcising their RL frustrations on the web, since its a consequence-free environment. Our job is to counter them in an intelligent, rational way and help them to see how ridiculous their behaviour is.
