1. • He flew fighters in the National Guard four straight years and finished his committment---you people falsely accused him of going AWOL. You never proved it and couldn't, but you said it.

   I have every reason to believe that his service was done as a means by which to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam. A lot of rich and influential families did so for their sons. Four years of non-combat service in the National Guard does not constitute any amount of "greatness".
   
   

   2) You people accused him of lying to get us into war...you could never produce a single lie that our GREAT POTUS , GEORGE W. BUSH, told for any reason.

He claimed the Iraqi government was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. No weapons of mass destruction have ever been found. If it's not lying than it can only be considered gross incompetence on his part to get the US into an unjustifiable war. In any case, this does not constitute any level of "greatness". Quite to the contrary, it demonstrates a distinct lack of foresight and planning on his part.

3) You people called a graduate of Yale and Harvard, a jet pilot, a twice elected Gov of Texas and twice elected POTUS, stupid. The stupid ones are those that think someone who accomplished all of that is stupid.

None of these points constitute greatness, whether or not Bush is stupid. Stupid is as stupid does. This country is worse off now than it was under the previous Clinton administration. Bush has not demonstrated a superior level of intelligence to any previous POTUS. As such his accomplishments are negligible by comparison to all other presidents, and not by any standard to be considered "great".

4) You said he failed a Physical Exam---a lie, he never took the PE. You said he was afraid to take the PE because he was on drugs...you didn't prove it , but you said it.

This does not in any way support your claim of greatness, be it true or not.

5) You said the war was lost, but we are winning because our GREAT POTUS, GEORGE W. BUSH, staid the course.

If you are speaking of the GWOT, then this is a war that cannot be won, and Bush has done more to encourage further terrorist acts by his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan than he has done to prevent them.

If you are speaking about the war in Iraq then it is impossible to know whether it will ultimately prove to have been worth the expense in lives, money, and international relations, among other concerns.

Again, by no means does an unjustifiable war in Iraq, or the unwinable GWOT constitute any level of greatness on the part of Bush.

6) You said he lied about weapons. It is no lie to warn the people of what you believe to be true. The things he said about weapons was the consensus thinking of the entire world and most US Senators and Congressmen. No weapons were found but that doesn't prove there had been no weapons.

Basing a war that cost the lives of untold thousands on bad information, whether or not ultimately proved true or false, demonstrates a definitive lack of good common sense. And yet again, it does not in any way make him "great".

There's more but I'll leave it there and say to you ...just the fact that he , OUR GREAT POTUS, GEORGE W. BUSH, PUT UP WITH SUCH CRAP IS THE START OF HIS GREATNESS.

Putting up with crap could easily be argued to be a prerequisite to the job of POTUS, but does not by any means elevate any person to the level of greatness. And it has become abundantly clear that George W. Bush can create enough crap all by himself that he doesn't need anyone to help him.
