I'm not saying that America is all evil. I´d rather have US as the world super power than China (but im afraid China will take the lead soon). I just don´t get the flag weaving patriotic thing. How can one be proud of an entire country? I mean, you can be proud of a painting you have done or when your son or daughter takes there first steps. But an entire country? No country is ever that great. Not even Sweden =).
Dont worry, you America haters will get you wish soon enough. The world will run out of oil, and then all the peaceful countries, (besides America), will be able to do what they will, I hope you are better at it than us though, Im serious.
I can´t get what you proud americans are so proude of? Guantanamo? The war in Iraq? The fact that Americans are the biggest contributors to climate change counting per capita? The fact America havn´t sign UNs child convention?
If I belived in God I´d rather say; God bless the world.
Our freedom is just an idea. Wars are not fault for freedom. Wars are fault to spread corporate fascism and install right-wing dictatorships that only care about profits from corporations and could careless about their own populations. If we would get rid of the US Federal Reserve Bank and it's collusion with the US Military Industrial Complex we would have a much more peaceful world. Wars are fault for economic gains and the soldiers that are used are just pawns in the eyes of capitalism.
Yes, God bless America and everyone who defends her. Military service is an honorable profession, one that has been a part of my family's history since the Civil War, as far as I can document. But no one has ever been asked to fight and die for one man's "political capital" until now. So while I salute America's bravest men and women, the fallen and the still standing, I say God bless America and God damn this president.
can we give a Memorial day for the millions and millions upon millions of civilians ,who were murdered in arm conflicts or miamed by billions of strewn landmines post ww2????!!!
"war is a racket". -marine colonel and war hero smedley butler. what sacred freedoms do you mean? are there any left? and it wasn't any foreign invader that took them.
FUCK YOU BUSH-in the past 2weeks 15 U.S soldiers died in Iraq-and what were you doing- playing golf, and insinuating political confrontations in Israel.
How is he a criminal? For defending America from terrorists who destroy the largest buildings in the world? Or do you base your belief on the tinfoil argument that he was behind the 9/11 attacks somehow? Do tell.
wow what a SPEECH!!! if Bush so compassionate about History and Heroism then why dont he give Memorial to the young "DEPENSABLE REDUNDANT" DEAD soldiers who seems Disillusioned on the REASONS why they STUMBLED into Iraq???!! Why NOT GRIEF for the 1000000 DEAD Iraqi(5 times HORROR of Myanmar & China Disasters combined!!)
Thanks to the Mainstream Media who seems to BYPASS it) by some ORDER if God is Such a ALLKNOWING ENTITY then By GOD stop the HYPOCRISY Memorial day BULLS**Ting and REPENTS..
This video is a shameless propaganda piece for George Bush - a hypocrite who opposes adequate veterans' benefits while handing out billions of dollars in no-bid contacts to corrupt firms like Halliburton. Fortunately the Senate thwarted him this week (May 23, 08) and added increased benefits to the war funding bill. (by a veto-proof margin too)

IMPEACH BUSH FOR WAR CIMES, LYING TO AMERICA, FOR BEING STUPID AND RAPING THE US CONSTITUTION
Why is it that our government hasn't done anything to stop him?HE IS NOT A DICTATOR and that is why we have a legislative branch to represent the POEPLE. CONGRESS IS MUCH TO BLAME AS FOR BUSH. BILL CLINTON almost got impeach for lying about having SEX with a woman and BUSH hasnt been tried for US CONSTITUTION VIOLATIONS, LYING ABOUT IRAQ and so on. OUR GOVERNMENT IS LACKING BALLS TO BRING HIM DOWN!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
bill clinton WAS impeached for lying to congress. bush has not violated the constitution. being wrong about WMD's is not the same as lying. you don't have the cognitive ability to post a rational comment.
Launching an illegal war of aggression against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, and misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization.
Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through wiretapping of phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.
Violating the Constitution by using signing statements to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.
Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.
Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.
Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
People who still live in the bubble with Bush should be called out for what they are, collaborators. All of them, including the Democrat enablers.
Yeah and you forgot to mention all the war crimes you commited in Europe and Japan. What fucking right did you have carpet bombing Germany and Japan. Those were illegal wars and evert one knows it . Stay the fuck out of others countries.
That Bush never moved troops to Iraq and began bombing raids prior to Congress's authorization to use force?
That Bush never authorized torture of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross, even though he has admitted it in a nationally televised interview?
Has never detained Americans, or legal American residents, without charge, and without access to counsel? Really?
And I guess the revelation that the Pentagon had a panel of paid military consultants who made regular appearances on the major cable news channels to sell the war to you never happened either.
And I guess the fact that it was the CIA who requested an investigation into the leaking of Valerie Plame's covert identity should be discarded too. It was just their opinion that she was an active agent.
None of this ever happened, and the real world is talk radio. You're an idiot.
whats wrong with the pentagon hiring consultants? valerie plame was not a covert agent at that time and her name was released by the columnist robert novak.
The consultants were presented as independent analysts when they were in fact defense industry lobbyists who were coached by the Pentagon on what "analysis" to present to the viewers. No conflict of interest there!
And CIA Director (and Bush appointee) Michael Hayden has set the record straight: Plame was indeed a covert agent up until the day Robert Novak revealed that fact to the public.
so what and so what. the fact that plame wasn't a covert agent at the time of her being "outed" is the point. any other opinion on the matter is subjective.
CIA Director (and Bush appointee) Michael Hayden has set the record straight: Plame was indeed a covert agent up until the day Robert Novak revealed that fact to the public.
WRONG. It does not mater whether Plame was a covert agent or not: "outing" her was a violation of law. But furthermore, it was just plain a very nasty and vindictive thing to do. How anyone can twist their thoughts to thinking this was justified or good is ridiculous.
I honestly do not now how some people (Rush Dimbulb is one) can look themselves in the mirror each morning: how do these folks shave?
Did FOX "news" tell you that? Plame was covert running a shipping company that had the reputation of shipping anything trying to stop nuclear proliferation. After all she was the head of the Nuclear proliferation division of the CIA.
phosphorus is common. it's an effective in use of various weopons and are not illegal. one mistaken hit to the palestine hotel does not an attack make. and i would require proof of any illegal wiretaps in the U.S.
Yes, Phosphorous is common- as an illumination flare and infrared tracking countermeasure. But it has been banned for years as a weapon and the US has signed many treaties agreeing to this.
As to proof of illegal wiretaps, is Bush's admission of this fact proof enough?
the united states has never sign a treaty agreeing to the restricting the use of phosphorous. and bush believed the wire tapping of international telephone calls was within the purview of the NSA. i do also.
Oh, you are right- the US and Israel have been unwilling to sign the international ban on phosphorous weapons. We have been rightly condemned by the rest of the world for our failure to do so.
So if illegal wiretaps are within the purview of the NSA, immunity shouldn't be an issue, should it?
bush had authority by way of the U.N. for not complying with WMD inspections. and he never detained any U.S. citizen unless they were considered hostile combatants.
No one was referring to the UN. Bush appropriated funds and military assets for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan BEFORE Congress gave him the authorization to use force to remove Saddam Hussein. Pay attention here. Afghanistsn is not part of Iraq.
"Enemy combatants" is a creation of John Yoo's and David Addington's imaginations. The term has never existed and is not a part of settled law.
the war powers act permits the president to commit troops overseas and is required to notify congress in 48 hours. then congress has 90 days in which to approve of disapprove this action. enemy combatant is a convenient term to refer to combatants that are not part of a national army. so what?
That doesn't change the fact that Bush misappropriated assets.
"Enemy combatant" did not and does not exist under international law. Enemy combatant was nothing more than a generic term until February 2002, when the administration imbued it with a new and particular meaning that was designed to circumvent the Geneva Conventions and international human rights laws. The Bush administration sees laws as obstacles to their agenda, not a framework for a civilized society.
