BF2S Forums George W. Bush in surprise visit to Baghdad

Hopefully a stray motar does not hit his position...

Your either with him or against him.

The Iraqi Prime Minster had 10min's notice that a foreign president was in his country before he met him. I think that says it all about the puppet government which has been installed. Its a good moral boost to the troops. He hasn't been out there in 3 years, same as katrina..........better late than never I guess.

I can't comment on how I truly feel or the NSA will take me away. Some freedom of speech.

Condaleeza Rice once said that a safe nation is one where you can go out to town square and say what you want and not have to be fearful of what might happen to you...she was referring to some former Soviet state (Georgia I think) but it applies here as well. God bless the Patriot Act.

I like G-dub. He's not a pussy. I can respect that.

i mean if our primeary-minester goes to afganistan noone make a treat so

(if it was your pic mail me and il give some karma for the good pics=p)

He didn't finish his enlistment in Tex. Air National Guard.  In fact... he just stopped showing up.  He is a pussy.

Excuse me while I go clear some brush.

But first...  watch this drive.

Keep up the good work.  You're doing a heckuva job.

To be on topic:

Bush went to Baghdad to show support for the new Prime Minister.  It had two target audiences:  1)  International to show we care about Iraq and its new government.  2) American populace... to show he can go to Iraq.  It was a neat PR stunt.... nobody knew it was going to happen. 

In my opinion, politically, Bush needs these small victories.  His approval rating is low enough that he can't hit a home run on domestic legislation but can do some of the more basic things correctly.  I'm not a Bush fan but won't bash him too much on his visit to Iraq.  But I would note that with the 10 minutes notice to the Iraqi prime minister, it shows they are NOT in control of their own country (imagine some foreign leader springing a surprise like that on Bush w/ 10 min notice).  Also noted is that Bush was there for 5 or 6 hours, helicoptered to the green zone and never left that zone until he went back to the airport. 

As for the cheering... he had a selected audience.  'nuff said.

All in all... I still give him a semi-thumbs up on the trip itself.  What I'd like to see next is more honesty from his administration and a swift kick in the ass to the incompetent boobs that continually make poor decisions and give bad advice.  He promised accountability.  I'm still waiting.

So they give the guy a weeks notice allowing insurgents time to plan an assasination ?

Are you implying that the new president of Iraq would give out information to the insurgents?
Look I do understand that if it leaked out, every insurgent in the country would have a pop shot at his black hawk on the way into the green zone. My point was however, that I feel the current Iraqi President is toothless and has no power whatsoever, as Ive said before, Iraqi is under the wing of the US Federal government.

Until an hour and a half after the last US Soldier leaves. Then all hell is gonna break loose.

You two need some serious help. You post that the president being killed would be a good thing and then bitch about why someone gave you that kind of karma. This forum doesn't need your crap.

A good thing indeed. The only person that needs help is Bush himself. I apologize if you can't handle someone else's opinion...

I think people take things a bit to serious these days...

Saying it's ok to assassinate my president is never a funny joke. Seriously leave the debate and serious talk forum now if you cannot realize what you are saying is wrong.

P.S. I don't give a shit whether you negative me or not. My karma is only a reflection of the intelligence of the BF2S community as a whole. But next time, give a more logical reason that "grow up seriously". child please...

Don't think anyone said it was "ok" to assassinate him... but anyway screw assassination, kangaroo court followed by Texas style execution would be more appropriate for Bush.  They do still execute the mentally retarded in Texas, right?
