I would like to know why comments are being stop against people that they say are abusive users. So if you do not agree with Bush or you, you want to control everybody that is talk out. You sound just like Bush. Why dont you move to Iraq where they try to control what is said. You do not belong in the US.
Stan, I know that Clinton lied to us, but it did not kill American soldiers in a foreign country fighting a war that Iraq citizens do not care about. If they did, they would not kill each other. I do not know who you met when you were in Iraq, but the people that I met while I was in Iraq in 04 and Afghanistan in 07, did not hate Americans or want them dead. Why didnt the President just tell us that this was a war about oil? Why is the American public paying for the war and not Iraq? Why dont their soldiers want to stop this war of terrorism in their country? Where in the bible does it say in the end good will prevail over ALL evil. If so, why is there any evil left in the world. Bush also stated in 03 that mission complete in San Diego. So why are we still there? Where are the weapon of mass destructions? Why is not Bush demanding the Iraq government to take over their own protection? Why was Bush the first President to attach a country that did not attach us? Why did not Bush complete his commitment of 8 years to the Texas ANG? When I was in the Texas ANG during that time period, I was required. But I did not have the pull that Bush had, and I had the ethics to complete my commitment.

I was and am opposed to the war in Iraq. The excuses for the war were first weapons of mass destruction, there were none, there were also no terrorists in Iraq until we got there. Both President Bush and Vice Pres Cheney within 6 weeks of 9/11 both said that Sadam hussein was not involved. I firmly believe had we focused the same effort in Afghanistan to capture or kill bin ladin it would have been accomplished and the al qaida would certainly have been destroyed or badly crippled.

Congrats Ward on meeting the President. Im sure the Oval Office was awesome, as it should be. KED you need to wake up. Did Clinton, or any other President say they have made a mistake? You do know that Clinton lied as well, right? There is no mistake about fighting terrorism. I have been to Iraq and know that most of the people over there hate people who are not Muslim/Islam. The have been fighting since day 1. You can read about those fights in the Bible in the Old Testament. However, Americans have a short attention span, if it dosent happen overnight to within 2 weeks, we tend to forget about it, or raise hell. Yes soldiers are dying over there from time to time, it is a war, hello. A war against terrorism. In the end good will prevail over ALL evil. You can be rest assured that President Bush has the best interest of ALL Americans at heart. Remember when all our leaders along with President Bush and then Mayor Gulliani toured ground zero and they said that justice will prevail. We will get the bad guys for doing this? Well where are they now? President Bush is the only one with balls enough not to cower down, not to falter, not to back down from those idiot terrorists. We as Americans should be doing the same and supporting our troops, as they are the ones protecting your ass and freedom, your families ass and freedom, as well as every other American and their families. As Steve Wade said, President Bush has said all along that this will not be easy, no war is. He has said this will be a long, hard war. So get used to it.

I can not believe what I have read. Bush has lied to everybody since the start. He has never ever admitted that he has ever made a mistake. All you have to state that something will be completed in the future and the future will never come. I have been to Iraq and Afghanistan and do not believe that evil will ever be destroyed.

W has said all along it is going to be a LONG HARD WAR.….….….He has not flinched, wavered, or missed a step.….He is a GREAT President and Commander in Chief.….……Yes, you might not like it but he is a solid Christian, who is seeking God’s Wisdom for our Country.….….…..History will show what a great strategic move it was to go into Iraq.….……

congrats ward, and I think the people criticising you are off the mark. journalism is equal parts hob-nobbing and asking embarassing questions, but print journalists tend to just print the part where they pin the guy to the wall, not all the footsy in between. this sounded like an interesting time, but def. not a moment to drill the president. just as long as you can shake off the star-struckedness later… right? ;-)

Its true that the apparent sharpness of your readers is well above-average; however it can’t be denied that they are human. As such, they will not relinquish what resentment that has been cultivated as a result of questionable decisions made by the protagonist of your recent visit. Good for you Ward, perhaps, having not offended anyone this time, you will get re-invited for a subsequent more substantive interview. But I doubt it. Much of what these encounters are for has been accomplished, warm fuzzies all around.
What ever the pretense, and whatever the elements of subterfuge, we are knee deep in it now, and are likely to remains so until it’s no longer in corporate hands, or it’s no longer mega-profitable. Next time you see ‘the man,’ maybe you can let him know for us that we respectfully disagree with his script.
