Iraq Invasion Drives Spread of Nuclear Weapons

Iraq Invasion Drives Spread of Nuclear Weapons



The drive of North Korea and Iraq to acquire nuclear weapons is not to attack the United States but to prevent the United States or any other country from attacking them. It is true that both North Korea and Iran were trying to acquire nuclear weapons long before Bush invaded Iraq. However the preemptive invasion and willingness to affect regime change by force has increased the desire of these two countries to obtain a small supply of these weapons. There is no question, if Iran or North Korea are successful in acquiring these weapons, they are far safer from attack by the United States. Now we have North Korea conducting a nuclear test. What Next?

When we look at the direction our foreign policy is taking it is clear we are moving into a MORE not LESS dangerous time in history. It does not matter where you look. Relations with our traditional friends have been strained by our policy. The Middle-east is a disaster and the problems in the Americas is clearly evident.


To give Bush and his Foreign Policy team a grade of a D- would be kind!

Just what questions did I not answer?

I told you where the report came from and provided with the rational as to why it make sense. You just do not want to listen because it shows that what Bush is doing is not working. If his policy toward North Korea or Iran was working they would have abandoned their nuclear weapons programs.

Col, an anonymous analyst on CNN is not a "report", nor is it credible. Do you understand that news companies make up things and are biased?


If his policy toward North Korea or Iran was working they would have abandoned their nuclear weapons programs.


But the policy during the 90's was a success? The best policy is to bomb the s**t out of their plants. But if that was done then you would blame Bush for being too aggressive and part of the Halliburton War Machine. You guys have no plan of your own other than criticize Bush. North Korea would have developed a weapons regardless or not of Bush. They have been trying for years.

Once again you take something so stupid and turn it into "blame Bush".

The very last thing a dictator of a Rogue State wants is to have the U.S. invade their country and cause them to loose control.


Oh for Christ sake, how the hell did you make it this far in life without getting your ass kicked over and over? Are you stupid or something? You make it sound like as if we go about invading countries for the fun of it. You ignorant bastard. You have insulted the very country you live in, you have made us look like some kind of evil terrorist country destroying every country we can to take over the world.

Listen to yourself:

The very last thing a dictator of a Rogue State wants is to have the U.S. invade their country and cause them to loose control.


Shouldn't that be the first thing YOU would want? Why do you care why they do it? You should agree that they need to have control over the country taken away from them. The world sees as as World Police, we might as well police the world then. If we do nothing they complain, if we take action they complain. I would rather they complain about us taking action while we actually prevent these sons of b_tches from killing more innocent people. If you think this is all bad, why don't you run for President and fix everything, otherwise STFU already. You know nothing, you only repeat what others have said. You have no opinion of your own, you have no ideas of your own, you have no solutions to any of the problems. YOU HAVE NOTHING EXCEPT A PURPOSE OF MAKING MONEY BY GETTING PEOPLE TO BUY YOUR BOOKS. GOD, HOW CAN THERE BE SUCH STUPID PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET. I WOULD RATHER GO TO HELL THAN BE IN HEAVEN WITH COL.

A report that cites a agent with 30 years experience with North Korea has a HELL of a lot more credibility then your statements. I am sure that person knows a lot more then GWB about North Korea.

The policy in the 90's was not effective. What we are talking about is the current policy and how effective our current President has been in dealing with this important issue. The simple answer is NOTHING Bush has done with our foreign policy and overall relations with other countries have worked. In fact under Bush EVERYTHING is MUCH WORSE!

Charles. C

I will match my experience and knowledge with you any day. I have not insulted our country. What I have said and documented is that our President and his policies are NOT WORKING. If you believe that we are better off in our relations thought the world or that Bush has made us safer with his policies you belong in the Belleview mental hospital.

You are too stupid and biased to learn anything from my book or the many others books that DOCUMENT how big a failure GWB has proven to be. Anyone that supports GWBis either stupid or a mindless zombie!

Col, your book is a failure. If you can't sell an anti-Bush book, then I wouldn't be proud of it. Any idiot can write a book criticizing Bush. You still ignore how everyone refutes your book and the bs you post. Even the liberals here don't defend you. That should tell you something.

I doubt you have read my book so your comments are baseless. My book is grounded on the analysis and statements from some of the most well qualified people in this country. So what you are saying is not that I am wrong but that collectively the experts and the date from numerous federal agencies are incorrect and ill informed.

That just shows how stupid you are. Setting your uninformed opinions up in opposition to the caliber of resources I used in my book shows how far from reality you and some of the others on this Blog site are with your mindless statements. These are the more important experts I used in my book:

How many times are you going to post the same bs over and over again? Dan Rather? I can't stop laughing.

Your poor excuse for a book is nothing but a collection quotes from other people. You still can't admit the times you have been proved wrong here col. You are like a little kid in elementary school who covers his ears and cries when someone tells him something he doesn't like.

Bush is here to stay his entire term col, and nothing you will ever do will change that.

Oh col, where is that poll of 200 millions Americans again?

The conclusion of Bob Woodward in his 600 pages with almost 76 pages of references is that, "With all Bush's upbeat talk and optimism, he had not told the American public the truth about what Iraq had become"

Bush must GO and I hope the Democrats win both houses of Congress and Correct the catastrophic mistake of electing George W. Bush President of the United States. To allow Bush to complete his term will only allow him to do more harm to our country.

You sir and many others on this Blog site are part of what is wrong with this country. Take George W. Bush to some other country and set him up as Dictator and you can all kiss his A*s each and every day!

There is such an interesting insanity about you Col. I think I will buy your book, but I won't read it. I will, however, wipe my ass with the pages.

You and your supposed sources are not credible. To be credible you would have to be somewhat objective. You are not.

I would really like to know when you and Bill Gates had a sit down (or any of your other sources). Your data likely came from the same confidential sources which published the data for your latest tirade.

A slanted view is a slanted view. Just admit it.

I did have the opportunity to have direct contact with the economics professor Bush had at Harvard. His comments and recollections of GWB are anything but positive. Unlike Woodward who had direct access to the sources he used I had to rely on published comments of my sources with the exception of the Economics Professor. Bush is a Failure is almost EVERY aspect. He was a man that was handed everything through the contacts of his father and his father's contacts. Bush accomplished NOTHING on his own!

What I accomplished were by my efforts without someone handing it to me. I became a Colonel in 19 years in the Army. Gained entrance to Penn State and Lehigh University predicated on my own work. I revived promotions up to that of the COO of a $120 Million dollar school system by my own efforts. I was not arrested for driving drunk and NEVER used Drugs. I obeyed the orders I was given in my 30 years in the military even though some times they did not fit what I wanted. Bush accomplished NOTHING on his own and is the product of privilege ALL HIS LIFE! That shows in how he is failing to help our country and its people!!! He is an arrogant man that would be a GREAT Dictator but has proven to be the WORST President we EVER HAD! The totality of the damage GWB has done to America will come to light in the years ahead!

Bob Woodward is a so-called "journalist" who is selling an anti-Bush book. What other conclusion do you think he would come up with? Get your head out of the sand.

And Bush is still more successful than you. I think it's a bit of jealously that you are so obsessed with him.

Bush is not the worst President, there are too many democrats in line for that. You sound like some mental patient who constantly says the same thing over and over so that you can convince yourself. Nobody here listens to you or cares what you write col. It's all worthless, including your non-selling book.

You spoke with one source. The really interesting thing about communication is that the receiver is left to interpret the message. So often the message gets lost by many factors acting on it. (bias being a factor) You have to admit that you are biased. You are anything but objective. I know I am wasting my time trying to convince the inconvincible but you lack credibility simply because you refuse to see that there are two sides to every story.

You speak of accomplishments... I was amazingly bright as a child. I took my first course in computer programming at 6 (that was almost 30 years ago). I could see things and build them. I could perform two step math problems in my head. All of this at six! Pretty impressive huh? I couldn't write my own name. Your accomplishments mean nothing. It is how you handle failure that matters most in this life.

What I accomplish in my life is by my own efforts. Make no mistake though, if someone extends a helping hand, I reach out and grab it.

I was not arrested for driving drunk


When I read that I see. I got behind the wheel of a car after I had alcohol but I didn't get caught. I took a single piece of a quote from your own statement and made it fit my objective. I find it highly likely you did the same with your research.

George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich by Gene P. Abel, Colonel, USAR Ret. (over 30 years of service as a commissioned officer, and two-time recipient of the Meritorious Service Medal) severely questions the immediate and long-term effects to America that the Bush administration is responsible for. Sharply critical, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich decries the administration's narrow-minded attempts to partially privatize Social Security without providing any transition fund for the interim monies that would be lost; the administration's alienation of its foreign allies in the years after the September 11 attacks due its blind press for war in Iraq; and the administration's utter failure to balance the budget or prevent an explosion of the national deficit. At the same time, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich is not universally negative; it notes the wise actions that President Bush has taken, but laments that the harmful actions may well outweigh the good in the president's legacy for the 21st century. Drawing information from more than 40 renowned sources, and including humorous blogs to convey points with a twist, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich not only identifies potential current and future problems stemming from the Bush administration but also offers recommendations for alternatives to cope with their personal impact on individual lives. Highly recommended.

No I do not drive on the few occasions when I drink. Bush was arrested twice for DWI and was most likely using drugs when he refused to take the required physical while in the National Guard. However as Barbara Bush said when questioned about the DWI citations for little George—NO BIG DEAL was her answer. That was only because GWB did not injure or kill someone when he was driving drunk. I wonder how many other times he was driving drunk and was not caught?

So what are you saying Col? Your Mr Perfect? You never did something you never should have? You never broke a law in your life? I drove for a year and a half with a suspended license, no registration and no insurance. I was a jerk back then, that doesn't brand me a jerf for the rest of my life. I was caught and went to jail for 6 hours. My brother had to pay my bail and i've never done anything like this ever since. Does this make me a criminal? So I broke a few laws, I paid the price for it, done deal, I've never done it again. You act as if every other President never broke any laws, as if they were all perfect except for Bush. So he drove drunk and got caught, when was the last time you heard him do that? Has he done it during his Presidency? Stop being so ignorant Col, people make mistakes all the time, some more stupid than others, that doesn't always mean they are bad people.

Saddam has been killing his own people by the thousands, North Korean leaders don't care about their people, Africans are being killed, abused, sexually assulted, hungry, the Iranian President screamed death to all Jews; I have yet to see you tell the truth or complain about any of them.

Here's a little lecture so you can learn the meaning of the words Truth and Opinion to see if the title of your blogg really reflects what you do in your articles:

Truth: a fact that has been verified; "at last he knew the truth"; "the truth is that he didn't want to do it".WWW Link">Link

Opinion: a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty; "my opinion differs from yours"; "what are your thoughts on Haiti?"Link


You constantly claim that you get your stories from the opinions of other people. Opinions are not facts and there for not truth. While many of your sources are legit, today they say one things, tomorrow they say another. This has been proven time and time again by many people here who have quoted from the same sources you claim to quote from.

This blogg and all your article are not about Bush Truth, they are about Bush Opinions. All you show is what you think about Bush according to a story, a poll, a comment or a book you read. No one on this site has yet to give any legit proof to impeach Bush, hell even the Dems in Congress can't do it, cause there is none, but you all scream it anyways. All those who claimed Bush attacked Iraq for no reason where the same ones who said Saddam was a threat, Saddam had WMD, Saddam must go and they agreed to the war. Changing you mind after the fact does not change the fact that you agreed in the first place. If Bush was lying about the Intel, Congress and the Senate should have done their home work before agreeing. Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool that follows? (words of the great Obi Wan Kenobi).

You should learn the meaning of words before you go about on your quest to prove tehm. You should also learn to spell, or at the least use a spell checker. Oh and do work on being more objective when posting. Even I have agreed with you from time to time, you on the other hand wouldn't give in if proof was physically mailed to you and delivered by God himself.

Anywho..Col, or whoever you are...try something different than Bush bashing. It might just earn you credibility, and some respect. Capiche?

The part that he neglected to mention on this reply was that there was only 1 review and that single review gave him a 5 star which with no other review to compare to makes it look like the best thing on the site. Of course he also failed to mention the 30 new and used copies of this book that others are trying to get rid of. Just look at some of the descriptions of these ads:
