George Bush is a good president.

1. I conceded that NCLB thought it was a bad idea, but not for the same reasons. + He conceeds the NCLB debate, for whatever reasons he sees fit. 2. Evidence of WMDs is strong. The weapons were mostly outdated. http://www.cnn.com... http://www.usatoday.com... http://www.foxnews.com... http://www.cnn.com... I have more sources and more respectable sources. We all know that there were no WMDs in Iraq. They have not used them. In debate, we call that non unique. If they had WMDs, they would have used them. 3.Speculation with Syria. -Be careful who you accuse of speculation. YOU are the one who made the gross exaggerations, remember? Syria DID suddenly pop up with a weapons stockpile right after we invaded. IM NOT SAYING THAT YOU SPECULATED THAT SYRIA HAD WEAPONS. I'M SAYING THAT THERE IS NO PROOF OF A LINK BETWEEN SYRIA AND IRAQ'S WEAPON SYSTEM!!! You did not even argue that so I win on that there is no correlation between Iraq and Syria's WMD system. If Iraq supposedly had WMDs, which there is no proof for. 4. Nuclear weapons. -You accuse me of speculation and little research but I noticed that you did not put any websites to support the claim that Iraq tried to use nuclear weapons. Even if any judge thinks they tried to use them, why have not they used them in the 16 year gap from 1991, when they allegedly tried to use them, and now? Because they are not/ were not going to use them. 5. Although I do regret America not doing it's job and stopping these atrocities, I don't regret allowing nukes into the hands of crazed fascistic dictators. They pose a threat to America AND her allies. That is enough reason. - Once again, there is no proven threat. 6.Terrorism is the limbs that we're hacking at. Islam is the roots...Islam is not a race. It's actually a religion, and you can't promote ethnic cleansing against something that spans all races and continents. It's a religion whose verses are used as marching orders by every terrorist we fight. There must be some connection. And I know there is. How, you say? Well, I've read their holy book, the Koran. Have you? If not, you have no place arguing this with me. - Actually, I have read their QURAN (not koran). There is a connection between the marching orders of Islam and the terrorists...ARABIC!!! The language they speak is the same. Should we kill all the whites because they speak the same language as the KKK? This concept of religious cleansing for the purpose of stopping terrorists is illogical and morally disgraceful. 7.Economy. -Actually, no African nation has a more powerful currency than us. Nations with a more powerful currency are Bahrain, Cyprus, Jordan, Kuwait, Malta, Omar, the UK, and the Euro. No African nations among them. Yes, the dollar has dropped. Yes the economy is weakening. But this is all a natural process of the free market. + Fine. Those nations' dollars were not above us 8 years ago. And you conceed the dollar is weakening. Therefore, I win on the economy issue. - The dollar will become more powerful again. + There is no basis for that statement! The dollar weakened during Bush's term significantly. 8.-Bush didn't put price controls on the oil industry because Bush is a businessman. he know that price controls are more damaging than the actual rising prices. When controls are set, you force the supplier to sell for less than the market determines what the commodity is worth. When that happens, they can't keep up with demand because their capital is restricted. + Clinton took steps to save the prices of gasoline and tapped into the emergency oil reserve. Bush did...NOTHING!!! And Americans are expected to be paying $2 more in gasoline in 2 years. Nice job, Bush. 9.-The law only targets SUSPECT individuals, not your everyday, average America. For instance, the Holy Land Foundation was a found to be a front for the terrorist group Hamas, even though it stated it was raising funds for Palestinian refugees. + If you are willing to sacrifice the ONLY thing that has kept America what it is today, the Constitution, then let Bush destroy the constitution. The document GETS RID OF TRIALS!!! You failed to answer that. They also dont need warrants anymore!!! These are the principals of America thrown away. Next, why don't we get a dictator to outlaw baseball and apple pie. 10.Bush, who signed this into law, is more of a threat to America that the terrorists. - What we know is that the terrorists are Muslim, Middle Eastern males, so they should be picked for special scrutiny. This is not racism, but practicality. +This is ineffiecient b/c there are white and black terrorists as well. Are you conceeding to allow all non-Arabic terrorists free of search? + This is obviously racist. They are choosing a group of people and 11. Al Qaeda and Iraq irrelevant + The Iraq War cannot and has not started stopping terror. 12.- The fence is being put up in some places, but we need more security to stop the bastards. Comprende, amigo? + More racism!!! My oppoent is racist and his view is obviously skewed for that reason!!! The fence is so small and unpatrolled it only wastes money. Another thing Bush did wrong is waste money on a fence that doesnt work. 13.Show me one positive increase in the economy that Bush caused (not inflation induced). -He it is. Read it and weep. + Soory, the link was unreadable. If the link even worked. You could only find one link. + I should not be forced to debate this unreadable point. IMPORTANT + Since the Great Depression, no other president who served at least 52 months has overseen a net loss in private sector jobs through this point. In addition to lack of job growth, real weekly and hourly wages have declined since the start of the recession. At a time when middle-class Americans are experiencing stagnant wages and vanishing benefits, CEO pay continues to rise. Source: Center for American Progress, Economic Policy Weekly, Jenna Churchman, June 6, 2005 IMPORTANT + In his first State of the Union address, Bush spoke of his plan to pay off over the next decade the entire $2 trillion debt held by the public at that time. He said, "We owe it to our children and grandchildren to act now." As it stands today, the debt is on track to reach the $6.5 trillion mark by 2011. Source: Washington Post, "Soaring Ceilings," Editorial Board, Nov. 17, 2004. IMPORTANT + Present employment levels show only 119,000 more individuals working than when Bush took office in 2001, which is effectively a decrease in employment rates, as the total civilian labor force grew by more than two million workers in 2004 alone, according to the Department of Labor. Additionally, the most recent data from the Census Bureau show that the average income for middle-class households has dropped by $1,525 since its peak in 2000. The labor force participation rate—the percentage of people either working or looking for work—fell in Jan. 2005 to a seasonally adjusted 65.8 percent, the lowest rate since 1988. Sources: USA Today 14. You quickly learn free trade isn't fair trade. NAFTA is the worst legacy of Clinton's presidency. A war on the middle class, that is. + You don't explain this point well enough. Anyway, I crush you on economy. I PROVED THAT BUSH IS A BAD PRESIDENT!!!
