"I'm a war time President" ?? - is this WWIII and we just don't know it?
Think about it:

- Israel has been at "war with terror" for 30+ years
- Spain would clearly qualify as being at "war with terror"
- Iraq was initiated by Dumbya into this new war - let's welcome them
- Afghanistan is clearly the "Germany" of this war - as insane as that sounds
- Saudi Arabia now qualifies as it has experienced a recent initiation
- Russia is the newest member to join the "allies" in this never-ending battle
- Britain is clearly a member of the terror group
- Iran and Korea are clearly members of the "other side" in this pitched battle
- There are several African nations that are part of the "Islamic" enemy club
- There are several Middle Eastern nations in the enemy "Islam" group as well
- Europe has been in this war for years with the random terrorist attacks there

Well, there ya go - we are in World War III and we just don't know about it.

Oh, BTW, we are also fighting several other "World Wars" at this time - perhaps you've heard of them as they are killing more people than Dumbya's personal "WWIII (on terror)":

- World War on Drugs
- World War on Automobiles
- World War on Cancer
- World War on Influenza
- World War on Starvation (far more people die in Africa that our petty war)
- World War on Rogue African Nations (their genocides put the "war on Terra" to shame)
- and, of course, the World War on Aging - this one is the most deadly

All of the above conflicts are killing FAR MORE people than the "World War" we are currently fighting.

I think I'll go get a cup of coffee - hopefully I won't get "taken out" by any of the many terrible "World Wars" that are currently raging in that terrible and dangerous world out there.

Perhaps I'll (yawn) even worry about the one the Preznit and his cronies are trying to scare me with? - nah! :P

1. I know it -- Isn't it plain for all to see?
Bush IS Hitler and this is the Fourth Reich (resurrected from the dust of the Third Reich by Hitler's American f8inancial backers and political architects of the Nazi 1000 year Reich)

Welcome to the Apocalypse

2. I agree and would add ....
I believe he actually said, "I'm a war president".

If he had said "I'm a war time president", that only suggests he is president in a time of war. To say "I'm a war president", ... to me that means he is a president who intends to make war and keep on making war.

6. Hmmm, you are correct "I'm a war President"
Which actually sounds kind of funny - what an idiot he is. I'd edit the title but it is too late!

11. Bush is indeed a "war president"

Tough words for a chickenhawk. That guy prevented his own ass from being shot in Vietnam.

3. This Is America's Civil War--Part 2
The Spirit of the Olde South is Rising, and it's a shame. An oligarchic society built on the backs of its laborers is so profoundly anti-American that either it or democracy as we understand it must cease to exist. There is no middle ground.

5. Four...three was the cold war.
Which was "won" by Reagan on his cowboys.


Yeah, right!

This would be the battle for the planet of the ape president.

13. I think Douglas Feith said that literally:
WWIII was the War on the Commies (and Salvadorean nuns)
WWIV is the Warren Terra

7. World War, yes, but it's still the second.
The Nazis merely rallied to another flag, as The White Rose warning of 60 years ago foretold:

"And do not forget the petty scoundrels in this regime; note their names, so that none will go free! They should not find it possible, having had their part in these abominable crimes, at the last minute to rally to another flag and then act as if nothing had happened!"

8. How does Afghanistan fit?
Afghanistan is clearly the "Germany" of this war - as insane as that sounds

Can you expand on this one? I really don't understand what you mean. I'm more inclined to believe the US is the "Germany" in this war. Maybe I'm just slow on the uptake. :)

It's a truism almost embarrassing to repeat that a particular government might find it suitable to have an enemy in-the-midst, more imagined than real, whom they can point out to the populace as the threat. And from that threat, only this party, this view of the polity they manage, can save the innocent sleep of the citizenary.

9. Should read: "I'm a war crime president".
An adolescent strutting his insecure macho stuff.

10. I hear ya. I believe * is guilty of mass murder and should be executed for
war crimes. I guess it pays to be the planets bully - no one can prosecute you when you commit war crimes - oh well. Heck, the idiots in this country might even re-elect this war criminal. What's going on in this country anyway?

Darn, I forgot again, we're at war...

14. Some on the Right Wing are actually calling this World War 4
And they're counting The Cold War as WW3. No joke. They're serious too.
