You know how Hassan was captured and then murdered? As all other captured Westerners, the country which the captive was from was given the choice of leaving Iraq, or this civilian will be killed (kind of like Nick Berg).

Well, my question for you all to ponder is, if Laura Bush or any of Bush's daughters were captured and put in the exact same situation, do you think he'd end the occupation in Iraq to save their lives?

I think he'd pull out faster than anything and come up with some other bullshit reason besides the fact that he was saving his family. I dont think he has any sympathy for other people and their families and their lives.

why is this in debate... no one is going to debate about this i just want people to think about it... move it back you to the lounge you assholes.
MeanBastard
No crap, family way more important than an American civilian.

yeah he would pull out faster osama could say alalala. if it was my daughter i would too. but see hes smart. he said, no honey you cant go to iraq for vacation. she was mad though, i'll tell you that.

you dont have to understand blink.gif

Anyway, I agree with Michelle. If his wife or one of his daughters were captures, he'd pull out real fast. But if it were a normal citizen, he's just be like 'Meh'.
sammi rules you
yeah.
there IS a reason he didn't go for the draft.
HE wouldn't do anything that could hurt HIM.
we'll send a bazillion soldiers over to iraq..but if someone HE knows and loves has anything to do with iraq..it's a no-no.

this topic sounds like the premise to a hollywood blockbuster starring Harrison Ford.

If he WERE to pull out of Iraq for the sake of his daughters .... then there would be no war in Iraq ... isn't that what you Anti-Bush'ies want?

Of course .... you try to spin it the other way around .... to sort of take a stab at Bush .... but, in reality, I think every parent would do anything to save their child .... and if you're saying that you wouldn't then you're f**ked up

we're saying he would act less concerned with a regular old citizen. i'm sure we would all try to save our family as well.

again ....

as bad as this sounds, everyone would be more concerned if it were a family member in jeopardy rather than some old stranger .... call it selfish .... its human nature.

selfishness is taking over the world
i mean not only bush. ..
most people would be like that
tweeak
of course, by having this in the lounge, it was completely overlooked

Hmm. Another Bush-hating topic.

Of course Bush would pull out of Iraq if it were his daughters in danger.

Why is it so important that this topic be in the Lounge?

Oh, and ya might wanna put some clothes on, TBoltzbabe.
TBoltzbabe
for your own good i will pretend i didn't see what you wrote, bitch.
basick
i think he would pull out... but he shouldnt. if he pulled out to save one single life, he would be f**king up thousands of other lives of iraqis. and laugh.gif at najae's comment.
TBoltzbabe
yeah isnt she funny
sporadic
Of course he'd pull out. George Bush is one selfish son of a bitch.
inthemudhole
Who wouldn't save their family?

I understand once you get the job of the President, you'll have to save anyone's life.. [or however you want to put it]

But would YOU take a bullet for some average citizen?
I bet you'd be more likely to take a bullet for your family than just some average citizen.
No matter what your title is.

HelloSunshine
of course he would mellow.gif cause he's a f****ng idiot...I found something on the internet..pretty funny...i'll have to dig it up sometime and post it...shows what "true leader" Bush is...[sarcasm]
inthemudhole
BUT SERIOUSLY, THOUGH.

Who would you rather save.. your family, or some other citizen?

It's not a case of selfishness. It's more of a case of reality.

I'm not being a bitch, but how many of you would SERIOUSLY rather save someone other than your family.. over your family?

i suppose, but then again, shouldn't a person that is our president put themselves in the families scenario themselves?

this topic is a double-edged sword ....

if Bush were to pull out for the sake of a daughter, then you would all say that he is "selfish" for doing so.

if Bush were NOT to pull out for the sake of a daughter, then you would all STILL call him selfish because he's thinking of the situation in Iraq (something that many of you still call his father's war - "whatever that means")
angel-roh
yeah i dont think he has no sympathy for his family and his friends.. i think the same way as you do, michelle. lol so funny "osama says alalala" LOL!!! wait Hussein got murdered?!?!? when did that happen... and btw i dont think he would help them, he prolly just ignore it and live the rest of his life... i would save my crush lol... well i would save my family and my crush both both both lol...well yes that bush is a selfish man... ay i dont know -_-;; sigh i think i was wrong about kerry but seriously i dont want no gay marriages to be approved -_-
