does he not control the taxes which make certain businesses more viable than others. also there is goverment spending and it's effect on the economy. and the wars effect on the economy.

i mean you're happy to blame any other countries goverment for the strengh of their economy. so how's this different.

The fact is that Canada is very dependent on the US economy. It's not a policy I'm particularly happy with, but it's beyond my ability to change.

No, Bush doesn't control taxation. That's the responsibility of congress. It's also the responsibility of congress to go to war.

 

[Danalys]

they do it at the president's discresion.

 

[Iceman]

The US' role in the world economy is ridiculous. I can't believe it still has so much influence.

Congress doesn't have to do anything the president desires. Congress could easily vote against anything the president proposes.

That's what happens when a country interferes with its economy the least.

Hmmm I'm moving. I want to be able to shoot burglars anyway.

party lines are drawn there and the repulblicans have the majority. ofcourse he gets what he wants.

The Democrats largely voted for the war as well, so don't lay it all on the Republicans.

Other than a few, who are consistently voting against Bush no matter why, the support for war was largely bi-partisan.

It's funny when the censors bans or censors words like To***ey.

well he did decieve them with "intel". let me ask you what has congress turned down that bush has asked for? anything that would effect the economy? if he got what he wanted and the economy is going badly then how can you not say he hasn't got a clue what he is doing. the fact that america's congress backs him just means they are equally dumb.

or is this the natural result of your beloved capatalism, when left to run wild.

Let's be objective here. There was no deception.

At worst, it was bad intelligence that every major country agreed upon.

If you don't like capitalism, just move to Europe where you can revel in an underperforming economy that is slowed by a never ending beaureaucracy.

 

[Danalys]

but i do live in europe.

you mean the major countries who formed the coalision of the willing. you don't think that perhaps they all had the same objective?

i figure claiming missles could be fired from iraq to america, a deception. that just one of the things they put in to make iraq actually look like a threat.

Please stay there.

To disarm Iraq? Absolutely.

I'm glad that Iran is much closer to Europe than it is to North America, because Europe will be targetted before America.

 

[Danalys]

so they wanted to disarm a country who's army rolled over in a week. how bad was that intel? not much of an army. none of the dreaded sarin gas they were expecting. no WMDs. f all really. who's in charge of making sure the intel isn't that rubbish?

well nice to know you wished death on me.

anyway back to, how your favorite economy is doing?

 

[Shifty]

Or that the war would only cost just over $2 billion dollars.

1237 sequels of Spider-Man, with a budget of $250 million each, could've been made with that money.

I didn't wish death on you, it's simply a fact that Europe is closer to Iran geographically than North America and I'm happy for it.

Intelligence is not a perfect science and it is often wrong, but it's also necessary. For example, the main reason why the US went to develop nukes originally was that the intelligence of the time indicated that Hitler was well on his way to developing them.

It's a good thing the intel was wrong on that one, but WWII would have lasted somewhat longer had America ignored the intelligence.

2 billion would only develop about 8 Spiderman sequels.

*snicker.

I was wondering how the lefties would blame Bush.

Really, I was sure we'd be seeing all the positive effects of his brilliant economic policies. Now this? I'm confused.

Is it that the bad economy started in 2001 because of Clinton's policies or in 2007 because of...?

 

[raybia]

Real nasty.

economy does well...."it was Bush who did it."
economy does bad...."why are you blaming Bush?"

politics is confusing.
