Is Bush a coward?

Ducking out of service, and cutting in front of the waiting list to do so is one glaring example of Bush being a coward.

Another is his having his puppetmaster hold his hand today while he doesn't testify (not under oath) and nobody records anything or prepares a transcript.

And who can leave out the fact that he doesn't have the cojones to stand up in front of the press unless they have their scary questions approved in advance.

So, whaddaya think?

I thought being a CEO required leadership abilities. Guess not, if your daddy's rich!

:P

He's too cowardly to face the American public.

Fucking-A right he is.

He plays the best damn game of Hide-and-go-seek I have ever seen. He puts my kids skills to shame.

Too cowardly to say what's on their minds... must suck to be that yellow!

I was outside walking in the park in Hartford at lunchtime and I was going the opposite direction of 2 men in their late 30s / early 40s in business suits and I heard one of them say how Bush is not man enough to testify himself...

dur!

but most of all, he wants to be the Antichrist.

both cowardly AND reckless at the same time, but he pulls it off.

That guy has NO redeeming human value, at all.

He's cowardly about facing any danger to himself.

He's reckless with everybody else's life.

He will not win any prizes at the X-Games of Presidents.

the picture of the document i have seen does not show the date and i like to be accurate when i call a chickenhawk a chickenhawk.

I think W is a sociopath.

Daddy got him into Yale, covered up his DUI's, bailed him out of Vietnam, got his buddies to bail him out of every failed business venture he had, the Supreme Court bailed him out of losing an election and the press bails him out daily by not commenting on his sheer stupidity.

He's beyond cowardly at this point.

issue. Wouldn't a real man step to the mike and cross rhetorical swords with John Kerry over the military service questions? Not george. He has to send the bitch out to do his bidding.

also eveidence of cowardice

She had the audacity to equate pro choice people with terrorists.

wondering how it shows cowardice

is a sign of cowardice in my opinion. 911 shook the nation (apparantly shook the rest of the nation more than new yorkers)...using that fear is cowardly as in doesnt address any of the real debate about abortion

WHO IS A BIG F***ING COWARD

He's in over his head. He is a poor leader and he is surrounded by crap advisors. Politically, I think he made a mistake, but think he was daring to put all his chips on the war in Iraq. It was a stupid move that has cost America dearly.

Sure, he may have dodged 'Nam, but many others did as well for various reasons. Were they all cowards? I don't think so.

Doesn't a non-coward admit it and ask for help, in his case - in order to avoid further destroying the country he's currently destroying?

I think sitting on your hands and watching our troops being killed, paying 'contractors' to die in who knows how many numbers, allowing the treasury to be looted by his cronies, etc. etc. etc. - is part of what makes him a coward - not just ducking out of Vietnam.

However, when his campaign is using the tactic of questioning Kerry's service, that makes his ducking out of Vietnam an issue.

and probably a coward despite his tough talk.

Of course he's a coward. He ditched out of the military. He can't speak by himself to the 9/11 commission. Hell, he can't do anything by himself.

Bravely bold George W rode forth from Washington.
He was not afraid to die, O brave George W.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave George W!

When country called him to Vietnam,
He joined the Guard to stay at home.
As towers fell on 9-11, and country called on God and Heaven,
O brave George W jumped into Air Force One,
And bravely fled to parts unknown.
Brave, brave, brave, brave George W!

Brave George W. ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave George W turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to Airforce One,
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, George W!

Giving a 'rat's ass' about what the people think (that's who he's supposed to represent, remember) should be an impeachable offense. He's glibly said as much to a citizen's face, and if he could feel shame he would.

How can Bush's few remaining supporters sleep at night? All the ranting about losing our freedom under Clinton, and now look what Bush has done with the Patriot Act! All the ranting about how the White House was for sale under Clinton, and look what Bush is doing with the Saudis! It must be so hard for them, especially considering he lost the popular vote this time.

No surprise then that the Secret Service is out harranguing Bev for trying to secure our right to vote!

Let's take this moment to savor the heady goodness of the following Dubya quote from Bob Woodward's "Bush At War," which opens chapter 16 of "Bushwhacked" by Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose:

"I'm the commander - see, I don't need to explain - I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation."

He's a bully.
Remember creeps like Bush from High School?
"He can dish it out, but he can't take it".

such a coward. It's in his eyes and his movements as well as verified by his actions...declare 'war' on this and 'war' on that, lies, free-speech zones, talking to reporters, AWOL, unable to face reality.

Bush let someone else fight for him in Vietnam. That is the act of a coward.

and well as stupid and lazy. Not answering questions without Cheney being there is simply pitiful, how can ANYONE take this fool seriously?

Most young men of draft age did not want to go to Viet Nam. And a lot got out of it. I don't fault George Bush for not wanting to go.

I don't even fault him for using his connections to get into the Guard. He could and did. I don't find it admirable, but it's not specifically cowardly either.

What's indicative though, is that he got into the Guard through his connections. And that has been the pattern of his life. Does that specifically make him unfit to be President? No. It's just part of the pattern. It's the whole of the pattern that makes him unfit.

I'm not sure that F*head has ever been tested for courage. And that's the only way to find out. So I don't know if he's a coward or not.

I'd like to address that here.

I agree.

HOWEVER, bush's campaign team has been maligning Kerry's service for how long now?

ALSO, bush cheerleads war and loves to kill (ref. Karla Faye Tucker). For him to be as bloodthirsty and breathless for war as he is and duck out of service, IMHO, qualfies him as a grade-A COWARD.

Bush requires a body of people to protect him from scrutiny of any sort. In addition, he seems to need a vast amount of power and adulation. Meanwhile, we've never seen him really have to fight for much of anything -- not employment, not recognition, not a high income, not credibility, nothing.

I can not in my wildest imaginings see Clinton shutting himself away like W did. The Right would have called it grand-standing, of course. But he would have BEEN THERE.

Or Poppy Bush. Or Reagan. Or Carter. Or Ford. Or Nixon. Or LBJ. Or (especially) JFK, Eisenhower, or Truman.

Of course, as little as I thought of W before 9/11 it still took me by complete surprise when he ran and hid. I'd have thought someone would have tied him to a board and drug him out into public to show him "standing tall" if nothing else. But I guess you can't order the president around.

and my brother is no coward. It's the guys who didn't serve who are now so gung-ho who bother me. You don't hear McCain or Hagle beating the war drums as enthusiastically as Bush and Cheney. Rush didn't serve. O'Reilly didn't serve. Nor did Delay, Gingrich, or Lott. Daschle did. I just can't handle the war-mongering coming from guys who are now safely, and smugly, out of harm's way.

Bush is a BULLY, A COWARD, and A LIAR.

Bully, coward, liar. Shout it out loud.

BULLY, COWARD, LIAR.

the man is yellow through and through, wouldnt share a foxhole with this piece of shit

Drrr.

I detest the thin-skinned ape

Is Bush a coward?
Was Napolean short?

Coward by day, coward by night.
