Bush admits mistakes

Vith- I only sarcastically said you zinged me. Since that is the only way in which you conduct yourself, I figured you'd understand it. I didn't bring up the moral perspective because, well, most of everyone's posts focused on my comments concerning the budget and the economy. You throw all these counter arguments on the economy at me, of course I am going to respond. I can sum up pretty easily my thoughts on Bush's morality: just fine! No, I don't care that Jack Abramoff was spotted a mile out into the background of a white house dinner photo, it is circumstantial. No, I don't find it coincidental that he was once an oil man, and now we're in oil rich Iraq; it's simply guilt by association without any real proof. In fact, I support the war in Iraq almost strictly based on moral and strategic grounds. I don't dog Bush and Congress and then complement them on the same issue. You are just put off by the fact that I won't completely support Bush on every issue; I'm human, some issues I will agree with him on, and others I won't. Doesn't mean I'm being contradictory, but that I am showing the different sides of my opinion on Bush. Sorry to disappoint!

Plague- I'd rather look at our foreign policy as full of strength. To a degree, yes, I actually do believe in using strong arm tactics against other nations when it comes to policy. The truth is, when dealing with nations such as Iran and North Korea, you can't trust them, and must deal with them firmly. North Korea has violated every agreement we ever had with them, and Iran has rejected our more moderate previous offers to them concerning enrichment. We were actually going to let them enrich but on Russian soil, but they even rejected that. To me, it's obvious they want the bomb, and I'm glad we have an administration that will take a hard line stance with them. And if the UN and EU want to ally with us and help, fine. But neither organization may dictate our foreign policy to us. You can think what you want about Iraq, and why we went in, but I'll say this: the entire reason the UN and nations like France and Russia didn't allow us the Security Council vote to invade the country was out of economic interests. Remember the Oil for Food Scandal? I mean, talk about corruption...
As the strongest nation in the world, we have a responsibility to act like it. It's been this way forever, the strongest nation (whenever there is a clear strongest) should not pretend as if it's equal with every other nation for the sake of unity. That's nonsense; there needs to be an enforced reciprocity in our foreign dealings with nations, and if they refuse to hold up their end of the bargains we make with them (i.e. the PLO not curbing terrorism in Israel despite being given land, Iran violating IAEA rules, North Korea violating agreements) then we should not turn the other cheek. To do so would be to reveal ourselves as weak, and to encourage such encroachments upon our foreign policy. Look back at how our past Presidents handled the league of nations, or how Truman handled the UN during Korea, or FDR's foreign policy; this kind of strong arming is practically in our blood. With the exception of Clinton and Carter, most Presidents have viewed these organizations as symbolically important but realistically weak. Case in point: over 20% of the UN's funds are provided by the US (could be even more at this point), they would never ever sanction us. When Congress threatened to cut funding last year, the UN got scared and starting paying lip service to reforming their body. The UN, whether they like it or not, are an organization based on spreading the post WWII ideals which the United States itself promulgated in the first place. They are our brainchild in so many ways, and simply the heir to the League of Nations' failed legacy. Name me a genocide they actually prevented! With this under consideration, why would we take orders from them? Why wouldn't we thumb our noses at them when they decide to oppose us like they did prior to Iraq? As for the EU, Germany now has a pro-US Chancellor, and France's next President may well be Nicholas Sarkozy, who is also very pro US. Spain, Italy, the UK, South Korea, Australia, Poland, and most of Eastern Europe supported the invasion, yet because the almighty France, Russia, and Germany opposed us, it was made into a big deal. A good portion of the international community supported us, let's not forget that, and important nations, too (not just the tiny ones Michael Moore poked fun at in his movie).

Anyway, I'll try to end it here, lol. Nice arguing with you Plague, at least you're somewhat civil. Maybe next time we'll have a discussion about something VF related! lol Vith...SEEK HELP, urgently! You've let those Star Wars movies get to you again...find a female, fast! Please, for your own good! You need to stop trying to live our your boyhood fantasy of defeating the Sith through me. It's not real...


Later dudes...

 

If you see the international community as people in other countries, then NO, you don't even have a tenth of the support you claim to have.

 

No, sorry, when considering foreign policy I do not consider the international community as people in other countries, I only consider their democratically elected leaders. Nations in general only consider elected leaders as well, hence the reason for having state departments exist in the first place, so someone can speak for these countries! Why would the US give two shits about the support of the general populations? They can't send troops, and they don't make foreign policy. Yes, they can vote out the ones who agree with the US, like Spain did (on the eve of an attack, it is important to note), but generally this did not happen. In more than a handful of countries it happened, but not many. In fact, some notable pro-US leaders were either reelected (Howard, Blair), or newly elected (Merkel in Germany, the recently elected Polish leaders, Czechs I believe as well). As far as the other countries goes, most have not changed their Iraq policies, and most countries in general stayed true to their scheduled timetables of support before leaving.

Ok, let's see here:

Countries which supported the invasion of Iraq in 2003, sending in troops and/or personnel: (list is from Wikipedia)

UK, South Korea, Italy, Spain, Poland, Romania, Georgia, Japan, Denmark, Australia, El Salvador, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Latvia, Albania, Czech Republic, Lithunia, Slovakia, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Macedonia, Kazakhstan, Canda, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Nicaragua, Honduras, Norway, Dominican Republic, Phillippines, Thailand, Hungary, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, Netherlands, Iceland, Moldova, Tonga.

As you can see, a good mix of unimportant countries and indeed very important countries. Starting from Canada down, most of those countries have finished their pledged time of assistance in Iraq and have withdrawn. Many of the smaller countries' support is important, because they hold significant constituencies in more important countries (example: many ethnic Latvians live in Russia, as well as other people originally descending from smaller East Europe/former Soviet bloc countries which supported the invasion). So, just as I said...most Western European nations with the notable exceptions of France and Germany supported us, and if I can recall correctly, ALL of Eastern Europe sans Russia. Like I said, people just made a big deal because we did not have the blessing of the UN Security Council (you know, that council made of such stellar, uncorrupt countries like France and Russia, both of whom were profiting from the Oil for Food scandal).

I find it funny that all these people from foreign countries criticize the U.S's war strategy, and how we decide to protect the international community from terrorist states (Afghanistan), rogue states (Serbia circa mid-90's), and states which violated international agreements consistently (Iraq, Iran, North Korea). It's like that quote from A Few Good Men...you sleep soundly under the wing of our protection and then question the manner in which we provide it. If Iran, China, Russia, North Korea, or any other nation big or small decided to attack Europe, who will defend them? Sweden? Norway? France? It would be NATO, led by the United States. Frankly, I wish we'd let all the weaker nations fend for themselves, but apparently none of you believe in military spending, and are happy to let us act as your de facto protectors. If you didn't agree with the invasion, fine, that's great, but you know what, we're there and we're not leaving yet. I wish more people, in the US and abroad, would say, "You know what, I disagreed with them going in, but since they are there, I support them getting the job done right, because the alternative would be much, much worse." It may sound like a bad excuse to a lot of you, but I just wish most of these foreign countries, especially Europe, who owes the US big time, would show a little more gratitude and support towards us when we need it the most, instead of trashing us about everything.

This is exactly why, when the international community criticizes the US (When do they not?), I and many others say to ourselves: "Who the fuck really cares what they think?"

I will defend the President, though, against people who make absurd claims regarding what is and isn't his fault without explaining WHY it is. It's all guilt by association: liberals will place Bush's name in the same sentence of a disaster or hot button issue and blame him for it, all in one sentence without giving any kind of rational explanation. BUSH failed us during KATRINA. BUSH is responsible for the BUDGET. BUSH lied about WMDs. BUSH has us bogged down in IRAQ. Bush is an IDIOT! But somehow, nobody ever connects the dots on these claims and explains why they are true. And when you dare question liberal groupthink on the issue, they can only reply with insult, sarcasm, or absurdity. OK, you may be one of the few who can actually explain his position, and I sincerely applaud you for that, but most (like Vith-Dos) argue like typical liberal brats. They can't just disagree with the President, he has to be EVIL! They can't just oppose the war, it has to be an imperialist exercise of fascism! They're extremists, and shame on me for not doing a better job of relegating them to isolation instead of actually trying to argue with them...there's no point in it! It is, yes, like arguing with a small child. Yeah, I'll throw out some insults here and there if it gets heated enough, and when my opponent is bratty enough, but at least I can back up my point of view reasonably. I mean, what do you want, a chart, poll, and a balance sheet everytime I make a point? 12 academic sources everytime we argue on the budget? Sorry, I'll save my energy for my term papers. Vith gave me a very simplistic chart on growth during a 6 year period, I gave him a more detailed one. And he's demanding more info from me? lol. I make my assertions based on everything I read and conclude from Foreign Affairs, the Economist, to the more ideological National Review and Weekly Standard, and of course the dailys. None of you are providing sources, so why should I? That's what an argment is (or should be): educated opinion! Some, though, prefer to limit their arguments to sarcastic one-liners with hints of opinion in them. Sad but true. This is what I mean of the difference between rational explanation and wacko leftist claims.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think this statement is a classic example of the thought pattern of people who support Bush and commonly the Republican party in general.

1) Notice that he wants people to explain to him in detail why Bush is to blame for various failures/mishaps/wrong-doings. No doubt if someone were to do that he would read their argument meticulously and disagree with nearly every point. At the same time Bush could tell him almost anything and he would buy it, no matter how blatant of a lie it is. For example when Bush got on national television and admitted that he broke the law by wiretapping American citizens without a warrant, and told us an obvious lie that the Constitution authorizes the President to break the law, Warchild most likely bought that lie even though he probably knows better on some level. He is not bothered by the fact that the President is breaking the law and violating the rights of everyday citizens. Dictatorships are made of people like him (WARCHILD).

2) That brings me to my next point. The Republican party's first and foremost goal is to distribute wealth to the ultra-upper class from everyone else (lower-class, middle-class, and normal upper class). They always cut taxes in such a way that the middle class end up paying for a larger portion of the government cost than they did before they cut taxes. This very weak the Republican congress is going to debate cutting or abolishing the estate tax, which would be very, very bad for the country. All other goals take a backseat to that. They can never seem to get the votes to pass the moral causes they take up; but for people who make more that $1 million per year, they always have enough votes to pass tax cuts strictly down party lines.

3) Republicans don't believe in small government. No Republican President has ever shrank government spending. I am amazed that Republicans still fall for this line.

I wouldn't say that Vith_Dos "zinged" Warchild. He made many good points against him, but I wouldn't use the word "zinged." The is a word I would use. What is it........um........I almost had it.............Oh Yeah, I got it..."OWNED." That's the word. Sometimes it is written PWNED. I would say that Vith_Dos pwned Warchild.

I don't feel like proof-reading. I will correct my typos and/or mispellings later.

Several of them feeling obliged to contribute because of an unwarranted inferiority complex and/or the need to do so because there are american troops on their soil. The people in some of these countries are wildly against sending troops or the like, and why wouldn't they be? But with their prime ministers being nice little pooches of the US, there's not much they can do.

Oh NOES! There are people who DON'T believe in brute military force! Kill them!

seriously though, the US millitary spending is way too high, and there seems to be no ambition whatsoever to lessen it(on the other hand...why would there be one when you're busy making enemies?).

And no, we Europeans are closer to having nightmares because of your non-existant foreign poicies. Calling North-Korea an "evil" state? Way to go there, Bushie! You just blew off negotiations for at least another few months and negated anything resembling progress made in earlier sessions. No matter what you think of a state, insulting them is not an option.

And lastly, we should thank the US for what(lately...I know you played a big part in the war)?
For overconsumption? There's something seriously wrong when a government idiot says "Um...the US is consuming too much on it's own...we can't be the only ones consuming, so Europe and Asia should consume MORE!"
For insulting other nations? For exporting loads of guns to poor nations(not alone there, but still)? For spewing out cheap, low quality, artificial foodstuffs? For unjustly dominating other countries? For having loads of people who can't even point out Europe if you gave them a map?

I appreciate your honesty in owning what many may consider an unpopular stance.

I don't think fomenting hatred across the world comes without consequence. I'd prefer to travel abroad and be welcomed rather than spat upon. I'd want my welcome based on love and friendship rather than fear of repercussion.

What if the last part of your paragraph comes true and, one-by-one, democratic countries vote for US detractors worldwide? I don't want that at all.

Based on your post in the NYC thread, I don't think you like to leave your house all that often. You appear afraid to visit NYC for VF as it might be in a "bad" neighborhood. I've never read about "bad" locales anywhere in the NYC thread, and that's the flavor of your first post. I feel sad for you. I also find it fitting based on your conduct and thought process. A tremendous opportunity is closed to you - even as it holds the door open and beckons you in.

Just to correct you, WARCHILD never posted on the NYC thread. He posted in Srider's 10 ways to improve thread and stated he only played Kumite and how could he judge his skill. Then various people noticed his location was Long Island and mentioned he should seek the NYC crew out. Then he responded on his paranoid views on NYC.

Sorry to go off-topic; NYC is listed the 7th safest city with pop. over 500,000 and has the largest pop. overall in the US.

I think that's pretty damn safe. /versus/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Your welcome to join in our (NYCVF) game sessions WARCHILD. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

Luddie: Thank you for the welcome. Hopefully I'll take up that offer someday. I've been to Europe once - it was in 1987. I hope to visit again.

Shag: Thanks for the clarification.

 

Plaugue...

Funny that you mention how I don't leave my house for fear of bad neighborhoods...except for the fact that, when I'm away at school, I live in an apartment in Jamaica, Queens! Anyone who knows anything about New York knows that certain neighborhoods in the Bronx, and in Brooklyn (i.e. Bedford-Stuyvesant) are areas you really don't want to be in. I don't care, call it racist, call it whatever you want...I call it smart. However, it was tongue in cheek anyway- if I have the time, I'd definitely stop by for some games. And yes, NYC is generally safe, but like any big city, there are definite no-go areas.

Anyway, enough about politics. I said what I needed to say, and we'll all have to agree to disagree. I'll end it by saying this: just because you disagree with one political party doesn't make them evil, dictators, racist or evil. Conservatives make reasonable arguments concerning our views on wiretapping and the like, and of course it's a touchy subject, and Democrats have a reasonable position as well. I wholeheartedly disagree with it, but I would expect a whole lot of people to have reservations about Patriot Act type laws. There are a whole range of Constitutional scholars though, and some very brilliant ones I may add (such as my professor, Dr. Ganji at St. John's), who make a rational Con-Law argument defending such acts. You may hate him, and will probably disagree with him, but read some of Antonin Scalia's speeches on the topic. However you feel about him, one really cannot deny his legal brilliance. Unless you're THAT partisan where anyone on the right is automatically stupid, racist, and evil (a stupid, thoughtless position to hold in and of itself).

And that's all I have to say (boy that was a lot!) lol.

Maybe I'll have the misfortune of seeing some of you in the arcade, where we could play a game and then debate for real! ;-)

Queens is not that bad at all, and if you are really that scared, call and big policeman to escort you.

 

I think it's the misfortune that the nice VFers in NYC will have to put up with such a dick.

then again, him vs Kazu will be fun yes!

 

No time to trash warchild here for real.
Just one quick observation to show him for the ignorant asshole he is.

Terrorist attacks against the US INSIDE the US since 9/11 included but are not exclusive to Anthrax scare, several seperate sniper incidents, a sportsplane flying into a federal building, some shithead who didnt know how to light a fire inside an airplane etcetera.

 

LOL, please!

Srider, you live in goddamn Tennessee, so please don't lecture me on the city or talk to me about being scared- I LIVE in the city (Jamaica, Queens) 9 months out of the year! You're going to tell me about where I live? Thanks, appreciate the info buddy! You can't generalize Queens by saying it isn't that bad; some areas are nice and look like Nassau, other parts (like Jamaica, again, my home) are shitholes. You'd know that if you didn't live in a NASCAR neighborhood three houses down from Jeff Foxworthy.

You people hang out in video arcades all day...please don't act all hard on a message board. I guess I'll have to live without knowing whether or not I was better than you at the arcade version of Virtua Fighter 4! I'll think about that when I'm out, you know, having a life a whatnot. If I HAPPEN to pass by a VF4 arcade in this lifetime, I'll play whoever is there. I'm not gonna bother to "meet up" with you friggin' people from the message board- thanks but no thanks!

Actually, I believe my dear buddy Subbers lives in this exact same region. He's a pretty normal guy, not really anyone you'd be scared to meet in a dark alley, yet somehow he's managed to both survive in Queens and go to frequent VF meets. Funny thing, that.

Since it doesnt involve polotics , i'm not going back on my word in responding to this thread.

Listen Sith Scum, its obvious your just some jerk that decided to join VF board to try and flame people over polotics. I highly doubt you live in queens at all during the year, or in fact ever have been to new york. You dare not come to new york now, especially when you know your ass is gonna get trounced (either IRL or in game). Nearly all of us are nice calm people so I dont see why your so scared? I have a life, I have a life! Your still reading and replying to all these threads now arent you? The more your mouth opens the more hatefilled and ignorant you appear and you wonder why people dont like conservatives.

Sith scum must stay off these boards! lock the thread! Do something to stop this imperialist scum from spreading his stupidity any further.

PS: Srider and nascar is too rofl-worthy not to laugh at tho, at least for anyone whose actually met the guy. Could you imagine him with a six pack of bud, a trailer trash wife with a black eye and a trucker hat that says honk if you're horny? That'd just be too much /versus/images/graemlins/lol.gif my day has officially been made.

Snappy-boy I really hope you're just messing around. Because right now you're breaking all the angles & standard that was set by the previous morons. So in case you're not messing around or trying get a feel for ppl here's boiling point then the only person living in a bubble here is you.

I suggest you take at least 10 steps back b/c most ppl here are alot older than you are. If not physically than mentally.

Lastly if you thinking of lecturing me takes this into considerationg that right now I am trying very very hard to be nice.

 

You people are the typical "message board assholes" one commonly finds online. Anyone disagrees with you, or says something tongue in cheek or kidding around (i.e. me joking about beating an Asian once in SFII, hence making me good. Obviously a joke referring to how Asians spend their lives at arcades, but apparently most of you are too dull to grasp the concept of sarcasm unless you're using it yourself), and you go apeshit. Ohhhh, how dare I sign onto the holy VF4 message board and start shit. You guys are so smart, witty, and cool...you know, cause it took about 15 of you freaking losers to gang up on me here in an attempt to make me look stupid, simply for disagreeing with any of you, or making a comment about me not wanting to wander into your fucking dirtbag slum neighborhoods.
And on a side note, while I could certainly guarantee that any of you weird internet people who spend all your time at the arcade while the rest of humanity is out doing more constructive things, could beat me easily at VF4, you somehow fail to intimidate me when mentioning you'd whip me in real life, LOL. Just a guess, but I'm betting most of you just do your fighting on a video screen.

Most of you are apparently so enraged by what I say that you feel the need to reply everytime I write something. It's become fun for me (while at the same time, making me feel a tenth as pathetic as most of you feel every time you wake up knowing you're you and not somebody else), so that's why I keep posting. But obviously, I have clearly angered you morons more than you're willing to admit, since if I were really that insignificant here none of you would have replied further after my third or fourth post. Please, I implore you to keep replying. It's fun, and I really don't mind it. You idiots will saying something about me, I'll show you why you're completely and utterly wrong, and then you change the subject and insult me in a more irrelevant way. Perfect example- Sith. He has yet to say anything remotely intelligent. He just sarcasticly uses Star Wars analogy, bashes me for being a conservative, and posts a picture of an owl for good measure in between. Because, you know, nothing "zings" 'em good like a picture of an Owl saying "oh rly." So...hilarious...yet eerily gay.

And then, of course, I caused an uproar by saying that I wouldn't go into certain city neighborhoods. Oh, how silly of me. There are no such thing as bad, "stay out unless you live there" neighborhoods in NYC. How foolish of me! To think that one of the largest cities in America would have bad neighborhoods, how preposterous! Why, the Bronx is a clean, safe, crime-free area! Brooklyn too! I mean, are we even talking about the same Bronx and Brooklyn here? And the person who said Jamaica is a safe place...you're kidding me, right? I mean, listen, nothing bad has happened to me there during the semesters I've stayed, but I don't take that for granted. I say we should invade and democratize Queens next. I'd place money on the fact that there are probably more English speaking people (aside from soldiers) in Iraq than in Queens.

Another sidenote: isn't it funny how everyone in their profile here is a "small business owner." Yeah, right, that's just what small business owners do: spend all their time posting Akira's combo moves on an online forum and meeting up with their homosexual Japanese-wannabee website buddies to play round after round of Virtua Fighter fucking 4.

Holy SHIT you people scare me!

Any other victims? Bring it on, morons.
