    This is a news article, meaning YOU CAN'T EXPRESS YOUR OPINION! If you want to write about the president, that's fine, but keep your opinions to yourselves! Even if it is about the president and you THINK everyone hates him, it doesn't matter, because everyone doesn't hate him. I personally think he's a wonderful president. And the fact that he is a president means that he's never going to make everyone happy. You try being in his position! I mean he makes decisions for the ENTIRE country for goodness sake! Give the guy a break, he's a president... and that's not an easy job. Oh, and the person before me.... if he was trying to impress everybody, he would do what everybody wanted you stupid dumbass! He doesn't have an "agenda" or an "ego". Well if it's ok for a news reporter to express their opinion, I guess it's ok for me to express mine. DEMOCRATS SUCK! You guys have NO morals or values whatsoever. As long as people can still get abortions and smoke weed, your happy! Well I think your pathetic! There's my opinion.... so if it's ok for a reporter to express their opinion, then I'm expressing mine. I bet that pisses you off doesn't it? Well imagine how people who actually like the president feel about this stupid article! Think about it.

      Comment: l.j., you're a real thinker. First of all the article was not so much news but an analysis and interpretation of the "winners and losers" of the report about Iran's nuclear "weapon development". Analysis and interpretation require opinions, oh great thinker. As far as liking this president, I think that's great. I like my dog; he's not too bright but he has a good heart. On the other hand, George W. has manure for brains, and as far a his heart, well its black as coal. Democrats have no morals or values. Let's look at Republicans like Foley (the senator that hits on underage male interns) or Craig, the guy that likes sex in airport bathrooms. Let's not forget the moral character of good ole George W. Let's see, he intentional lies and misleads America (and the world) about Iraq having WMDs, invades a sovereign nation that poses no threat to the U.S., has murdered approximately 450,000 Iraq civilians, has created terriorist cells in Iraq where none previously were, enjoys torturing "combative suspects" without charging them with any crimes or allowing any legal council, and is doing everything in his power to destroy the constitution and freedoms with illegal wiretaps, searches and seizures. As near as I can figure out, Republicans are against abortions because they want the children to grow up before they kill them. And as far as smoking weed-what's wrong with that? Oh yeah, it relaxes you and makes you feel good. As any respectful Republican knows, we can't have people feel good, now can we?

    I love how everyone can take as gold parts of this report and then completely ignore other parts. My question is this: the report explicitly says that Iran abandoned its nuclear weapons program to avoid isolation and sanctions internationally. They succumbed to pressures put on them by who? None other than one George W. Bush whose hard line stance led other countries to an EFFECTIVE foreign policy regarding Iran.

    We are witnesses to the end of America as you know it. Thank God. America is becoming a gaint 3rd world nation. The rapid influx of illegal immigrants, no leadership or vision from potential leaders. America will soon be bankrupt. Bush will be in Iran soon. The final nail in your coffin. So long America Hello China.

    Although sanctions against Iraq were hurting the people more than it's leadership, I was not in favor of a war with Iraq. We had not dealt the coup de gras ro Bin Laden. However, even if I had been in favor of the war, I would still have been appalled at the way the war was conducted. Every mistake that could be made was. The only phrase I could use to describe it is criminal negligence. Now the president is saying he did not read the NIE report until a week ago and that even though Gates told him they had new information about Iraq some time ago, he never asked Gates what that information was. The president is either lying or he is incredibly incompetent. Either way, he is unfit for office and should be removed.

    I love that we can accept some parts of the report and completely ignore other parts. The report specifically says that Iran abandoned its nuclear weapons program because it did not want to risk isolation and sanctions from the rest of the world. My question is: who used such hard line policies that made Iran believe it was not worth it to pursue nuclear weapons? It was, in large part, the same man everyone is so willing to condemn these days, President Bush.

    If you are fool enough to believe anything the Iranians are saying then you are doomed to suffer the results of your stupidity. They have always been deceptive and they don't feel bad if they lie. Anyone different from them is considered an infidel. They and others like them are musilm facists. They look at anyone else as less then human and it is not wrong as far as they are concerned to lie, manipulate, steel or kill anyone who is different from them. The comments they have made are very troubling. Push Israel into the sea? What if Israel and Jews are no longer around to pick on? You are next. Especially if you love freedom and the right to think what you want. I have heard people ask where the terrorists were when the U.S. invaded Iraq? Was Abu Nidel a terrorist? They found him in Bagdad. Poor terrorist, he died while in captivity. I am not American, Jewish or Israeli. I just have a brain. I know who's side I am on. America, you are not alone.

    Bush is a war president, we are beginning to be the most hated country by others due to him. He went in and raped Iraq and our troops should have been out as soon as no W.M.D's were not found. My opinion is he is trying to make us focus on Iraq by B.S ing us that Iran is a threat.. He needs to look in his own backyard and get a reality check on whats going on with the people in poverty in the US.

      "raped Iraq " Is that what media
      said?

    They should put Sadaam back in power, he's the only one who can run that country.

  • Posted By: i.d. @ 12/05/2007 9:51:44 PM

    l.j., how old are you? Open mindedness comes with age and or wisdom. The agenda in this nation has been that the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer, this has been going on since forever. It's really not about one party, it is about greed and power. Come on now, our pres had such low popularity close to re-elect time and lo and behold, war. Who doesn't reelect a pres during war time?

  • Posted By: Borioso66 @ 12/05/2007 8:33:11 PM

    I again am dissappointed with our President who has lied to the nation again. How can we trust a man who has lied to his people in various occasions just to get popularity and following from this nation. I truly do not believe another word coming from the mouth of another republican. What we need to do is mind our business and take care of our own. look at New Orleans it's been almost 3 years and still it looks the same since katrina hit. Poverty in our country has gone an all time high, we are wasting our time, we habe become the laughing stock of the world. other countries see us as a joke, and don't believe we are as powerful as we claim to be thanks to the President of this country who to my eyes is a joke and an embarassement for this country.

      At the time he said Irian had a nuke program the intel was saying that was true. The intel changed. Bush didn't lie to you, he told you what he was giving. If you won't listen to another word from a Republican then you must be the most arrogant thick skulled liberal here on Newsweek. The only embarrassment to this country is people like you, who can't get over their hatred of the opposite side.
      And New Orleans was hit for a reason. The biggest waste of money is rebuilding that city,.That money should be going to fighting poverty, not rebuilding a city that is a breeding ground for poverty and will get destroyed because of its bad location next time a hurricane hits. I mean the first thing they did was rebuild thier football stadium. If the leaders of New Orleans had any brians they would have spent the money on fixing and improving the leves.

    Hey sapphirebelle get the head out of the sand. Don't believe everything Newsweek and the other liberal media tells you. We still the majority. The ones with a vengeful God on our side. We are the #1 power in the world. It is our duty to protect it against these savages. If we'd think like you, we will have bad teeth and singing "God Save the Queen". War it is a disgusting necessity some times. PEOPLE, IT IS TIME TO GROW SOME HUEVOS!

    When will this country realize that President Bush did not attack Iraq becaue of the attack of 911 but that Saddam purportedly put out an assination attempt against his Father? As an individual that scenario is completely understandable but as President of the United State of America sometimes one can NOT let his/her personal feeling outweight what is for the utmost good of the citizens of the United States of America.
    What candidate (Republican.Democratic. Independent or any other party) currently running for the position of "President of the United State of America" can actually face the American public and say this is how things are going to be done? In my opinion, Not 1. The reason is because that most everyone that is elected to serve in pubic office is seeking the election to serve themselves, either for the retirement or gratification of their own ego..

  • Posted By: cruxmaggot @ 12/05/2007 9:47:29 PM

    If thats the best defense for Bush fireball777 can comeup with, well, what about Saddam Hussein? Think what a tough time he had keeping the shites and sunnis from killing each other. That was not an easy job either. I know, thousands died because of his ill conceived wars, but what the hey, thousands have died under "W" also, give the pres. a break, nobodys perfect! Many thought Saddam was a great president also, but, of unlike "W", I have to admit he did have an ego. I agree, there are Democrats that suck, followed by many more holier than thou Republicans that SUCK. However, the Dems can redeem themselves with shining glory and go for a twofer impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Now that is something for which our Republic could be truly grateful.

  • Posted By: John12 @ 12/05/2007 9:46:54 PM

    Yes , I feel so much safer now that the rest of the world hates us and can't possibly believe a word Bush says.Iraq was not a haven for al-Qaeda, but it sure is now . Amazingly and tragicly, after all the death and loss of American soldiers and broken hearts and millions of refugees, we are no safer then we were when we started. America can and will do better. I know America can do better..

  • Posted By: Nadeem 101 @ 12/05/2007 9:45:14 PM

    Gee, this is great. Our fearless leader has no problem ourtright lying about intelligence, starts a war with no basis that has led to thousands of civilians being killed. I wonder how Columbia's President, Dr. Bollinger, feels about his wonderful intro if the Iranian President when he has to look no further than Washington for some parallels.

  • Posted By: ColDarby @ 12/05/2007 8:56:36 PM

    Spin this the other way... maybe Iran backed off fron nuclear weapons for fear of massive retaliation?

  • Posted By: traceyW @ 12/05/2007 8:52:19 PM

    How can anyone believe this president any longer? His EGO has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents. Why even bother to investigate the facts, this man believes - or worse yet - makes up - whatever will serve his agenda. Damn the rest of us!

    • Posted By: wcool777 @ 12/05/2007 9:43:34 PM

      Same old CRAP!! Can't you come up with a better believable argument? By the way his daddy wanted all this stuff to happen to fill his oil rich pockets.

  • Posted By: msrae45 @ 12/05/2007 9:42:40 PM

    Has money and power become so important to so many that we can't pull our heads out of the sand and see what is happening to our country. Take a good long look at our government and what we are allowing to happen. Our whole country was built on the Christian religion and most people were taught to do good and become people of integredy. We are allowing our whole system to be underminded by the people who want to take control, but we don't want to see it. Please pull your heads out of the sand and look before it's too late.
