George Bush on Iraq

On 01/29/02 State of the Union address, President Bush began focusing his attention on Iraq, the president had said about Iraq as labeled as part of an "axis of evil" allied with terrorists and posing "a grave and growing danger" to U.S. interests through possession of "weapons of mass destruction". Towards the middle of 2002, the CIA had Saddam Hussein was intent on reconstituting nuclear weapons programs, had not properly accounted for Iraqi biological and chemical weapons, and that some Iraqi missiles had a range greater than allowed by the UN sanctions." The thing that I wonder is "whether the Bush Administration manipulated or exaggerated the threat and evidence of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction capabilities or attempted to create a tie between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda attacks would eventually become a major point of criticism and controversy for the president."On Sept. 18, 2002, CIA director George Tenet reported to President Bush in the Oval Office with a top secret document that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction. Bush dismissed as worthless this information from the Iraqi foreign minister, although it turned out to be accurate in every detail. According to "the intelligence included in the National Intelligence Estimate of October 2002, which stated categorically that Iraq possessed WMD." For the record "no one in Congress was aware of the secret intelligence that Saddam had no WMD as the House of Representatives and the Senate voted, a week after the submission of the NIE, on the Authorization for Use of Military Force in Iraq." Due to the information," it was not circulated within the CIA among those agents involved in operations to prove whether Saddam had WMD."Between 2002 and 2003," President Bush urged the United Nations to enforce Iraqi disarmament mandates, precipitating a diplomatic crisis." In November 2002," Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei led UN weapons inspectors in Iraq, but were forced to depart Iraq four days prior to the U.S. invasion, despite their requests for more time to complete their tasks." In showing the facts, "the U.S. initially sought a UN Security Council resolution authorizing the use of military force but dropped the bid for UN approval due to vigorous opposition from several countries." In the "coalition of the willing" its war effort was a combined rate of over 20 other nations.For a reason the " invasion of Iraq commenced on 03/20/03 and the Iraqi military was quickly defeated. Kofi Annan, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, as well as leaders of several nations made statements implying that the attack constituted a war crime." As a result, "the capital, Baghdad, fell on 04/9/03." On 05/1/03, "President Bush declared the end of major combat operations in Iraq." According to "the initial success of U.S. operations had increased President Bush's popularity, but the U.S. and allied forces faced a growing insurgency led by sectarian groups." As the mission was progressing, "Bush's 05/1/03"Mission Accomplished" speech would be criticized as premature." According to "the Bush Administration was also criticized in subsequent months following the report of the Iraq Survey Group, which did not find the large quantities of weapons that the regime was believed to possess." On 12/14/05, Bush stated that "It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," and in Bush's opinion "he nevertheless continued to assert the war had been worthwhile and confirmed he would have made the same decision if he had known more."

George Bush on North Korea

Due to the article of United States-North Korea relations, "Bush publicly condemned Kim Jong-Il of North Korea, naming North Korea one of three states in an "axis of evil," and saying that "the United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." Going through the months, "both countries had walked away from their respective commitments under the U.S.-DPRK Agreed Framework of October 1994." Due to "North Korea's 10/9/06 United States and including China." On 09/2/07, "North Korea agreed to disclose and dismantle all of its nuclear programs by the end of 2007." The United States remains committed to diplomacy, and we will continue to protect ourselves and our interests. I reaffirmed to our allies in the region, including South Korea and Japan, that the United States will meet the full range of our deterrent and security commitments. Threats will not lead to a brighter future for the North Korean people, or either weaken the resolve of the United States and our allies. Today's claim by North Korea serves only to raise tensions, while depriving the North Korean people of the increased prosperity and better relations with the world offered by the implementation of the joint statement of the six-party talks. The oppressed and impoverished people of North Korea deserve that brighter future.

George Bush's foreign perceptions

Well it definitely seems that "Bush has been widely criticized internationally and he was targeted by the global anti-war and anti-globalization campaigns, and criticized for his foreign policy in general and because Bush's policies were also the subject of heated criticism in the 2002 elections in Germany and the 2006 elections in Canada." Of course, "Bush was openly condemned by current and former international leaders such as Gerhard Schröder, Jean Chrétien, Mohammad Khatami, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Romano Prodi, Paul Martin, and particularly Hugo Chávez and later in Bush's presidency, tensions arose between himself and Vladimir Putin, which has led to a cooling of their relationship." For the record, "Bush has been described as having especially close personal relationships with Tony Blair and Vicente Fox, although formal relations are sometimes strained." In 2006, "a majority of respondents in 18 of 21 countries surveyed around the world were found to hold an unfavorable opinion of Bush and the respondents indicated that they judged his administration as negative for world security." In Europe, "a poll conducted in Britain named Bush the second biggest threat to world peace after bin Laden, beating North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il." According to a poll taken in November 2006," Finns also believed that Bush was the biggest threat to world peace after Bin Laden. Kim Jong-Il came in third in the poll and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah came joint fourth." Due to the "March 2007 survey of Arab opinion conducted by Zogby International and the University of Maryland found that George W. Bush is the most disliked leader in the Arab world. More than three times as many respondents registered their dislike for Bush as for the second most unpopular leader, Ariel Sharon." According to a 2006 poll which was conducted by the Iraq Center for Research and Strategic studies, "a majority of Iraqis believe that the U.S. has lost its global credibility as a result of Bush's foreign policies." Due to, "the Pew Research Center's 2007 Global Attitudes poll found that out of 47 countries, only respondents from Israel and some sub-Saharan countries expressed a lot or some confidence in George W. Bush more than 50% of the time." Of European respondents surveyed, "only Italy and the Czech Republic expressed 30% or greater confidence in Bush."How many people hate George Bush?How complexed is the Arabians hate against George Bush?Does anybody like George Bush?

Saddam Hussein

Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti was the President of Iraq from July 16, 1979, until April 9, 2003. For example, "a leading member of the revolutionary Ba'ath Party, which espoused secular pan-Arabism, economic modernization, and socialism, Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup that brought the party to long-term power." In second place, "as vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, Saddam tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces, at a time when many other groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government, by creating repressive security forces." In the early 1970s, "Saddam spearheaded Iraq's nationalization of the Western-owned Iraq Petroleum Company, which had long held a monopoly on the country's oil." Through the 1970s, "Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as Iraq's economy grew at a rapid pace." As president, "Saddam maintained power through the Iran-Iraq War and the first Persian Gulf War." During these conflicts, "Saddam repressed movements he deemed threatening to the stability of Iraq, particularly Shi'a and Kurdish movements seeking to overthrow the government or gain independence, respectively." While he remained a great hero among many disaffected Arabs everywhere for standing up to the West and for his support for the Palestinians, "U.S. leaders continued to view Saddam with deep suspicion following the 1991 Persian Gulf War and Saddam was deposed by the U.S. and its allies during the 2003 invasion of Iraq." Captured by U.S. forces on December 13, 2003, "Saddam was brought to trial under the Iraqi interim government set up by U.S.-led forces. On November 5, 2006, he was convicted of charges related to the executions of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites suspected of planning an assassination attempt against him, and was sentenced to death by hanging. Saddam was executed on December 30, 2006."

Bush and Saddam

"I am ready ... to conduct a direct dialogue, a debate, with your president," Saddam was quoted as telling news anchor Dan Rather in a three-hour interview. "I will say what I want, and he will say what he wants." President Bush leveled harsh criticism Thursday at the Senate on homeland security issues, but he revised his stump speech to make clear "there are fine senators from both parties who care deeply about our country."
