Eventhough we can criticize Bush for what he is doing now, we will never forget how Bush was important in the liberation of Lebanon.

Bush is a hero in our Lebanese history
hero in lebanese history ?? are we talking about the same bush who refused to stop the war and the slaying of the pple in the South ?

It is disgusting to see that some ARABS actually support Bush ,when 75% of his own pple dont support him anymore BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S DOING IN ARAB COUNTRIES.

Dems challenge Bush's power to wage war

By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer 10 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Democrats are challenging President Bush's power to wage war, contending they've found a way to block a troop increase in Iraq and prevent any pre-emptive invasion of Iran. <SCRIPT language=javascript>if(window.yzq_d==null)window.y zq_d=new Object();window.yzq_d['yprILdG_fzQ-']='&U=13atimp27%2fN%3dyprILdG_fzQ-%2fC%3d569937.9924966.10714868.1442997%2fD%3dLREC% 2fB%3d4313061';</SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT>
But first Congress will vote on a nonbinding measure stating opposition to Bush's decision to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq. The House was expected to pass the measure on Friday, with the Senate planning to hold a test vote Saturday.
Democrats say the votes are the first step toward forcing Bush to change course in a war that has killed more than 3,100 U.S. troops and lost favor with voters.
"This country needs a dramatic change of course in Iraq and it is the responsibility of this Congress to consummate that change," said Rep. John Murtha (news, bio, voting record), who chairs the House panel that oversees military spending.
Murtha, D-Pa., is preparing legislation that would set strict conditions on combat deployments, including a year rest between combat tours; ultimately, the congressman says, his measure would make it impossible for Bush to maintain his planned deployment of a total of about 160,000 troops for months on end.
Murtha's proposal also might block the funding of military operations inside Iran — a measure intended to send a signal to Bush that he will need Congress' blessing if he is planning another war.
"The president could veto it, but then he wouldn't have any money," Murtha told an anti-war group in an interview broadcast on movecongress.org.
In an interview Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., noted that Bush consistently said he supports a diplomatic resolution to differences with Iran "and I take him at his word."
At the same time, she said, "I do believe that Congress should assert itself, though, and make it very clear that there is no previous authority for the president, any president, to go into Iran."
Bush said at a news conference Wednesday he has no doubt the Iranian government is providing armor-piercing weapons to kill American troops in Iraq. But he backed away from claims by senior U.S. military officials in Baghdad that the top echelon of Iran's government was responsible.
Administration critics have accused the president of looking for a pretense to attack Iran, at loggerheads with the<FORM class=yqin action=http://yq.search.yahoo.com/search method=post> </FORM>United Nations about what Tehran says is a nuclear program aimed at developing energy for peaceful purposes.
In a speech Thursday, Bush said he expects Congress to live up to its promise to support the troops.
"We have a responsibility, Republicans and Democrats have a responsibility to give our troops the resources they need to do their job and the flexibility they need to prevail," Bush said.
In the third day of a House debate on the war, GOP combat veterans spoke out against the Democratic resolution.
"The enemy wants our men and women in uniform to think their Congress doesn't care about them," said Rep. Sam Johnson (news, bio, voting record), R-Texas, who was a prisoner of war during Vietnam. "We must learn from our mistakes. We cannot leave a job undone like we left in Korea, like we left in Vietnam, like we left in Somalia," Johnson said.
Rep. Duncan Hunter (news, bio, voting record) of California, the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, called the political maneuvering by Democrats "extremely dangerous."
"It could stop reinforcements from arriving in time to stop major casualties in any of a number of scenarios," said Hunter.

Democrats will have to fight critics in the Senate as well.
"I will do everything in my power to ensure the House resolution dies an inglorious death in the Senate," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (news, bio, voting record), R-S.C.

Ya sahbé,

The first and last problem lies within us, we lebanese... It is our different definitions to lebanon, our different allegiances, our immaturness, our idolizing to the same leaders since 50 years, etc.. which are giving syria, iran, ksa, egypt, jordan, usa, europe, russia, etc... power on us.

plz, what intentions?

what about Irak where the american invasion in 2003 led to 600000 dead iraki, and the flee of millions?
what about Aghanistan? they are now worse than in the Taliban days (and those days sucked big time)
what about North Korea? now it's temporarely fixed bc both sides need each other.
what about Iran? how is Bush dealing with them?
what about guantanamo?
what about Abou ghreib?
what about this conspiracy thoery not proven till now (and some americans even believe it) that the Bush and the neo-cons knew about the 9/11 before it happened and let it happen just to make their wars? even some of them say that the 9/11 is also staged by a secret branch of the CIA.
what about the hate among americans to bush?
what about the low IQ of this dude that american comedians make fun of each and every day?
what about................?

and u say Bush is about democracy. what democracy?
