          It is Ringo's birthday tomorrow, so maybe he can change the words a bit and sing "When I Am 62"

            Happy Birthday to the President. Time will cement his legacy, and after we get the full details of what he knows we will all be wishing him Happy Birthday for years to come.

              "Time will cement his legacy."

              Absolutely! He will forever be remembered in the same pantheon of liars, war profiteers, war criminals, dictators, and tyrants as:

              Vlad The Impaler, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin and many others.

              Happy Birthday, Dumbya. And may you enjoy many more in a prison cell when you are ultimately convicted of your war crimes.

                Go have some cake! It's your heros birthday. Think about the soldiers in Iraq and the innocent people dying while you scarf it down.

                  Well, since I was in Iraq for several tours, I'll do just that. I'm proud of my service, proud of the people over there, trying to bring order and a republican form of government to an otherwise dust heap of a country, and proud of the fact that you have the freedom to speak out of your mouth without the benefit of much thought, or the unintended consequences.

                    Glad you made it out, and speak your mind always.

                    I just disagree with the politics of being there, not what the soldiers have been asked to do

                      "There's an old saying in Tennessee; I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee; that says, fool me once, shame on; shame on you. Fool me; you can't get fooled again." This is all one needs to read about Bush. I defintiely can find a box of rocks smarter than Bush.

                            GWB will be remembered as the only president with the balls to go after the world crisis known and radical islam. It is a plaque on the world and needs to be dealt with before we all are beholden to Sharia Law.

                              Where's Bin Laden?

                              I thought that is who masterminded the attack. Why hasn't Bush found Bin Laden?

                              Meanwhile crooked contractors are profiting off the war, draining the treasury, and the president violates the Constitution and the Geneva Convention. He has a 70% dissaproval rating.

                                there are plenty of reasons to despise junior besides iraq

                                in 10 years all will be forgotten besides iraq and his legacy will be respun as they did for reagan

                                Your idol, the idiot, the tyrant went after wrong country, wrong people and at a wrong time. He has no balls. If he had, he would have gone after OBL. Instead he went after OIL and paid dearly for it.

                                . branded worst war criminal since Hitler.

                                . killed thousands of innocent men, women and children.

                                . tortured hundreds of detainees without proof of guilt.

                                . kidnapped hundreds off the streets around world, held them in confinement without charges, tortured in violation of all know international and domestic laws.

                                . wiretapped innocent American's telephones, read their e-mail and opened their snail mail.

                                . outed the identity of a covert CIA operative.

                                ....on and on. His final place of resting is HELL.

                                  Well, since I was in Iraq for several tours, I'll do just that. I'm proud of my service, proud of the people over there, trying to bring order and a republican form of government to an otherwise dust heap of a country, and proud of the fact that you have the freedom to speak out of your mouth without the benefit of much thought.

                                    I don't call it pride, rather a more suitable world would be:

                                    WAR CRIMES

                                    I suggest you talk to Angelina Jolie who 2 weeks back donated $1M to help Iraqi children whose parents you bombed and took out of their lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Nikki,

                                      Sometimes I think you do this to stir the pot. This is one of those times. I will, therefore, avoid you from now on. You no longer deserve attention.

                                        I'm beginning to question whether this character nikkibabe is a real person or just some bot that posts the same old retarded crap day in and day out.

                                        NIKKI, you make being a rep so fun. Your rant is your undoing stop drinking the Kool Aid dude and get a grip on reality. Ask yourself this one question, what would President Al Gore have done after 911, bombed an innocent aspirin factory in the dead of night. Keep up the good work the left is proud of you as you sojourn through the tough times with the anti Bush hatred that would make Jim Jones proud, have another sip.

                                          Macroeconomic dictatorship toward Capitalism is nothing more than a dominant cognition of ones own lifelong fraudulences. A myth, now abruptly dormant to lay destruction alongside its own 'proof of history'.

                                          For nearly 8 years now, I have successfully evaded this embarrassing coward's(gwbush) nullifying rhetoric spiel. I can also say that the humiliation and adoption of all his "GrandShams" not only comes directly from the very depths of his inarticulate deceit, but also from the history of his family's most exorbitant talent for dishonour; forcing a healthy country into duress through legislative occultation and paving way for corporatization.

                                          You're in high prostitution at the finest degree.

                                          Hip, Hip... Hoorah! You're nothing new!

                                            However, I was quite content finding my own truths in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

                                            No arms, no guards, no guides, no tours, no contacts and no BS!

                                            Just smarts and my wit to survive the LEGIONS OF VARIOUS ORGANISED INTELLIGENCE BRANCHES AND THEIR SCHEMES: ORDO AB CHAO.

                                            Low-ranking soldiers, everywhere in Afghanistan, trying to stamp their authority on local obedience to manipulate into a dependence. When in reality, the whole 'terrorist' picture is desperately contrived.

                                            As they say, "the proof is in the pudding".

                                            Bush turns 62 on the fly

                                            Bush needs to resign and Go back to Crawlford Texas. How many Americans have to die for the Bushe's Bad Judgement???

                                            Bush Father and Son, Bad For America....
