George H. W. Bush: Wars
built 290 days ago
On December 14, 2001, Bush scrapped the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, which had been a bedrock of U.S.-Soviet nuclear stability during the Cold War, arguing it was no longer relevant. Instead, Bush focused resources on a ballistic missile defense system. The proposed system has been the subject of much scientific criticism. Field tests have been mixed, with both some successes and failures. It is scheduled to start deployment in 2005. A ballistic missile defense system will not stop cruise missiles, or missiles transported by boat or land vehicle.

Almost immediately upon his return from the war in December 1944, George Bush married Barbara Pierce. Their marriage produced six children: George Walker Bush, Pauline Robinson Bush ("Robin," 1949–1953, died of leukemia), John Ellis "Jeb" Bush, Neil Mallon Bush, Marvin Bush, and Dorothy Bush Koch.

Since George W. Bush began his supposed War On Terror, the number of terrorist attacks has increased, not decreased. The American voter has got to answer the question: "Is that working for you?"

"George Bush doesn't have a plan to rebuild America's economy or restore its respected position in the world, so instead of discussing the issues, he launches vicious attacks against John Kerry's heroic war record," Maddox said. "The attacks themselves are false, and now we know that the Bush campaign's denial of involvement in them is too."

Shortly after the attacks, a war was launched against Afghanistan to topple the Taliban, which Bush charged with harboring Osama bin Laden. This action had strong international support, and the Taliban government folded quickly after the invasion. Subsequent nation-building efforts in concert with the United Nations under Hamid Karzai have had mixed results; bin Laden was never apprehended nor killed, and (as of 2005) is believed to be at large. A sizeable contingent of troops and advisors remains into 2005. See U.S. invasion of Afghanistan for details. Democratic elections were held on October 9, 2004.

What does Bush think about when he goes to sleep at night? The nearly three million American jobs lost since he took office? The tens of thousands of dead in a war he started? Environmental regulation? Campaign finance? The next cabinet meeting?
