What if Franklin Roosevelt had run World War II the same way George W. Bush has been running the war on terror?

  • President Clinton thought Saddam was a serious threat but took no action although he violated UN sanctions multiple times. The Europeans who opposed the war even had business dealings with Saddam.

    I am sick and tired of far-left radicals accusing Bush of lying because he didn't lie; he based his decision on faulty intelligence. Even the British said Iraq was looking for uranium in Africa, which was also false.

    Iraq is much more peaceful today than it used to be and is now a democracy.

  • I'm a bit puzzled that believing the military actions of the commander in chief ought to make America more safe is now considered a "far-left radical" notion.

    However, I'm happy to meet you halfway, and agree that Bush was didn't lie; he just fired everybody who told him something he didn't want to hear, leaving him free to believe whatever he wanted to.

  • How many American soldiers die in Germany and Japan every month?

    How many die in Iraq every month?

    Do you maybe see a difference?

  • If FDR had been like Bush the Japs would have never made it to Pearl Harbor. FDR fooled around and let the Japs almost beat us, but that's what can be expected out of a Democrat.

  • Good point!

    If took FDR a whole four years to win World War II, and George W. Bush has already not won the Iraq war in longer time than that! W for the win!

    Also, W has made the entire Middle East even less stable, giving him the chance to not win even more wars in the future! Yay, W!

  • haha! I love it! Shame our politicians today can't be like FDR was. The Fala Speech is probably one of my favorites aside from the "Let Me Warn You" speech. Where'd the politicians' balls go?

    Don't mistake that I'm Democrat or Republican, I just think that FDR was quite genuinely one of the best presidents we've had in our history.

  • FDR was a monster

  • Haha, awesome

  • what a bunch of crap

  • Jesus Christ. You right wingers are such fucking liars. Bush is an evil scumbag. His administration did everything wrong. He ruined the economy. He let 911 happen and used it to justify his evil agenda. He handled the aftermath of Katrina horribly. Does your racism and hatred extend so far that you STILL defend this evil fuck?

  • I think we can say, however, that Bush was like FDR and not the other way around in that he continued the failed Keynesian policies that keep magnifying our recessions and artificial surpluses.

  • Ron Paul? A genuine bastard.

    I'm guessing because you have taken shots at both parties, including the one the Mad Doctor actually belongs to.

    Or maybe the bastards you support were defeated in 1865. Or 1945.

    Clearly, you don't support Americans.

  • You're a funny guy, UncleMikeNJ. Perhaps you'd care to name one of the "bastards" that I support.

    Go ahead. Tell me who I support.

  • No, I didn't know that, and neither did you, because you're lying again. But Nixon was in Dallas that day. No joke, he was doing legal work for Pepsi. Iran had committed terrorist acts against us, by the Bush-Cheney definition aiding them was treason. Carter and Brzezinski did not aid the future Taliban and al-Qaeda. They did let the Shah into the country, which was bad enough. Still far less than the bastards you support.

  • Oh my gawd, UncleMikeNJ. You are really embarrassing yourself. There's no excuse for you not to know this. Just do a web-search for "How Jimmy Carter and I Started the Mujahideen".

    Hmmm... I suppose selling weapons to Iran could qualify as "Aid and Comfort". But it all boils to whether or not Iran was legally an "enemy" of the United States at the time of the transaction.

    Are you aware that both LBJ and H.W. were instrumental in the JFK assassination? Last I checked, that's HIGH treason.
