God bless you President George W. Bush, the greatest president in american history.

I was curious.

Does Bush deserve that honor for the 10,000+ Americans that died on his watch, for outing an undercover CIA agent, for failing to get Osama bin Laden, for wiretapping American citizens without even an ex-post facto warrant, turning the U.S. into a country that defends the use of torture and secret prisons, doubling the National Debt after being left a Balanced Budget, or for leaving the economy in a shambles not seen since the Great Depression?

Just curious.

O'Neill gets fired and all of a sudden he wants to "tell the truth about the Bush White House." I don't like Bush, but this O'Neill guy is just trying to get noticed, and get back at the Bush Administration after he was fired. If it was so obvious that Bush was incompetent and doing odd things, then why didn't this guy come out earlier. Once again, I don't like Bush, but I don't like this O'Neill guy either.

A couple of points:

O'Neill, was not fired, he quit (according to him, over Iraq).

His accusation has been repeated two other Bush Admin vets.

Search my videos for "warpath".

Florida Recounts Would Have Favored Bush

But Study Finds Gore Might Have Won Statewide Tally of All Uncounted Ballots

By Dan Keating and Dan Balz

Washington Post Staff Writers

Monday, November 12, 2001; Page A01

the Gore team contested EVERY militay ballot

[BI30]

Funny, you said "every" recount favored Bush, yet by your own acknowledgment, a statewide count (the only count that matters) favored Gore.

And no, Gore did not contest EVERY military ballot. That's just stupid. What would be their defense?

[PDXKevin2]

Bush is such a HUGE liar. He needs to be impeached immediately.

[ricsen13]

@PDXKevin2 He need to be jailed in Guantanamo now!

[ricsen13]

@jamesallegro Fuck you!

I knew this long before Bush Junior took office.

The Iraqi Wars is nothing more but a vendetta or revenge against Saddam Hussein

[RealCosmicSurfer]

You forgot 1.2 million Iraqis murdered and 4 million displaced for oil and to destabilize the Middle East

[smokeydebear911]

So we have two differing stories on how O'Neill got out of the Bush Administration. One is from a WH Economic Advisor, and another is from O'Neill. The advisor has nothing to lose by saying O'Neill quit, while O'Neill looks incompetent if he was fired. I believe the advisor. And just because his accusation was repeated by other sources doesn't over shadow the fact that he came out with these accusations only AFTER he was fired/quit. Something tells me he isn't doing this because its right.

oh no we were lied to
