Thats the number of U.S. lives that have been taken in Iraq in order to find Weapons of Mass Destruction. President Bush recently made a joke of not finding any.
"Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere," He said, in a slideshow while he looked under a chair in the whitehouse.
Do you think it is appropriate for President Bush to be joking about this kind of thing? People lost there lives because they truly believed there were Weapons of Mass destruction, and President Bush turns there cause into a joke. Is it right?
Whilst I agree he shouldn't be joking, the figure of 590 is manipulated. These people did not die soley to find the weapons, they also liberated the people of Iraq.

I agree with you Teapot... But I also agree that it should be NO joking matter.
Use Canadians shouldn't talk thou cause our Ex-prime minister ate Canadian beef around the time when we had the mad cow..umm cow. Then he replied, " See I eat canadian beef and me still he." JERK!
lol
"I have dreamed a dream... But now that dream is gone from me."
It's not so obvious, cause the media here is very messed up, and not everyone heres these things. They bring out bush to be Mr. Perfect.
Those soldiers were told there mission to begin with. Find Weapons of Mass Destruction. Liberating the people of Iraq was on the side.
590 is not manipulated. YOu can't say 400 were to find weapons, and 190 were to liberate the iraqi people. Both of these thoughts went through all those peoples minds.
The "liberation of Iraq" was just an excuse for the war that Bush came up with after we didn't find the alledged weapons of mass destruction that were "an imminent threat to the United States." Not to mention that the war was initially presented as an act of anti-terrorism in response to 9-11, which Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with. According to Clark's recent statements, Bush wanted to go after Iraq from the very beginning and is only using "anti-terrorism" and "liberation" as guises for his real intentions which are of course to control Iraqi oil, and to ensure himself a second term (very rarely is an incumbant president ousted from office during a period of war). God knows any educated American person wouldn't reelect Bush for any other reason after his travesty of a presidency (just look at the economy) ... then again 70% of our nation bought into the notion that Iraq was involved with 9-11 when polled immediately before the Iraq War, so I guess we're not that bright afterall.
I think Bush is an idiot. Presidents aren't suppose to joke or be funny. They're supposed to give long speeches that force you to change the channel and be a real fancy pants; they've got the money to do it.
Sure they are. Take Bill Clinton for example, but as he said himself, 'I guess I'm a lousy president'. Bush is an idiot though, you don't joke about a false war, mainly because of the people who died in said war, and also because Kerry is nipping at his heels.
"Presidents aren't suppose to joke or be funny" a lot. A little presidential humor now and then is funny. I must admit I laughed when I saw the photo of him looking for nuclear weapons in his office. I laughed even harder when I saw a picture of him carrying around a book called "Presidency for Dummies". I've also seen a photoshop edited picture of him and that vice president guy; they were deformed to look like Beavis and Butthead in the picture. Lol
It is only funny when someone else makes fun of him, even than theyre often pretty lame jokes. Its called satire. When someone feels they can argue back by making fun of themselves, especially about something serious and especially someone in such power it is ludicrous. He should keep those jokes to himself.
But who am I to listen to.
'oh yeah? he's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?'
I think he has a right to make joke of that. He is a complete idiot and does not understand a word he's saying. You cannot blame him for that. Blame the voters.

I wonder how long our new PM will be in though? He's kissing up to Bush. That has to lower his support by atleast %30.
