[Dave]

I was the first and much of it rings true Than so there :moon

[ninjalooter1701]

I have yet to see this debunked. Perhaps Thaanatos will stand up for the truth and show us what is wrong.

Exactly: there's none. You're a liar. Whole forum knows it. Your credibility is right next to Local Brew's.

Let's wipe the slate clean everyone.

Thaan disprove this please:

First US president in history to have the people of South Korea more threatened by the US than their immediate neighbor, North Korea;

Thanks :D

[Dave]

Here's another:

First US president in history to have a majority of the people of Europe (71%) view his presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability;

[kramsret]

you are now the sixth person to post this list of untruths to this board.


And it's the sixth time that Thaan has denied reality by calling the listed obvious truths "untruths".

The problem is, too many people hold out hope that thaan will snap out of his Rove-induced dementia, and stop acting like a lobotomized retard with late-stage alzheimers.

I think its safe to give it up. It ain't gonna happen.

First US president in history to have the people of South Korea more threatened by the US than their immediate neighbor, North Korea;

that one couldn't be easier....first of all, it is completely irrational to say that the people of South Korea are 'threatened' by the US at all....if anything they are 'threatened' by the antics of North Korea's current leader....

his antics have not been formented by Bush....he was doing the same thing during the Clinton administration as he is now....

if anything increased the risk to South Korea and the rest of the world it was the foolish deal made with North Korea by Clinton....though I will not blame him outright for it as he may not have had sufficient intelligence sources to make it clear that NK had no intention of even trying to comply with the agreement....

Now, we do, and I believe Bush has done exactly the right thing by engaging China in the talks instead of continuing with bilateral talks....all signs seem to indicate progress at the present.....

therefore, if anything, Bush has made South Korea safer than it has been since NK's current leader came to power.....

[thaanatos]

First US president in history to have a majority of the people of Europe (71%) view his presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability;

this one I might have to concede, though before I do have some questions:

Are those statistics representative of all of Europe or merely France and Germany?

Has anyone polled the question of Europe before? There have been other times when Europe might have viewed the US as a threat to world peace. The isolationism of Wilson's era. Our refusal to join the League of Nations. The Cold War era. The Berlin crisis. Vietnam. The ongoing feud with the UN did not start with Bush.

Personally, I suspect that the majority of Western Europeans were anti US long before Bush was elected.

Finally, I must respond that if, in fact, the majority of all Europeans believe that Bush is the biggest threat to world peace, and is the first US president to attain that mark.....still, that conclusion on the part of Europeans is completely irrational....

that opinion could only be based on the way he has responded....

and what he is responding to IS the biggest threat to world peace...terrorism...

the rest of the world has been dealing with terrorism a lot longer than the US, we were finally awoken....

perhaps it is similar to the times of WW2....it wasn't until Pearl Harbor that the US woke up and helped the rest of the world eliminate its biggest threat at that time.....

9/11 woke us up again to join the battle against our current biggest threat....to those with the irrational belief that the battle against terrorism can be won through methods of appeasement might incorrectly think Bush himself is the threat....

Roosevelt had a few missteps in between Pearl Harbor and V-day.....Bush has had a few missteps in the war on terror....but Roosevelt wasn't the biggest threat to world peace in the 40s and Bush isn't the biggest threat to world peace now.....
