George W Bush Persuasion Analysis

On the evening of September 11, 2001, George W. Bush managed to change the country forever with a simple three letter word. President Bush gained numerous advantages following his renown speech. Many Americans lost their lives on 911 due to terrorism being used as a form of communication. Language is the cornerstone of all known societies and is essential for a country to thrive. Without language there is no understanding. Without understanding conflicts are inevitable.

President George W. bush made the decision to go to war with Iraq just months after the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States. There is evidence that shows Bush was after Saddam Hussain from day one of his presidency. Paul O’Neill claims that Bush started constructing arrangements for the invasion of Iraq within days of Bush’s inauguration. Bush denied these claims and discredited O’Neill by declaring he was a dissatisfied employee who was dismissed by the White House and that O’Neill had no reliable comprehension of U.S. foreign policy. The Iraqi National Congress argues that soon after Bush’s inauguration, Bush contacted them to discuss how to remove Hussein from power, which confirms O’Neill’s allegations

W. Bush’s position of being a member of the House of Representatives (Biography…George W. Bush). Additionally, it wasn’t until after his father’s successful win for President in 1988 when George W. Bush gathered a group of partners together to purchase the Texas Rangers baseball team (Biography…George W. Bush). Only after briefly owning the Texas Rangers did George W. Bush decide to put his name into the Governor’s hat and run for Governor of Texas. However, some of his private affairs were leaked to the public, including his early years of alcoholism before his marriage to Laura Welch. This, from personal perspective, played a huge role in how he was looked at during his career of public service as Governor and President of the United States. In all honesty, the lack of public service experience was the most likely result of his dismal eight years as president, which included getting the United States of America involved in an unnecessary war and leaving America in a recession once leaving office.

McNamara’s lesson seven belief and seeing are often wrong, that can be applied to the information of “Buying the War,” there was not enough evidence to demonstrate the culpability of Saddam Hussain in relation with the terrorist attacks of 9/11, or that in reality he had or was building weapons of mass destruction. According to Bush and his delegates, they had a source who confirmed that Saddam had in his power aluminum tubes, which were need it to build centrifuge needed to build nuclear weapons. They began to manipulate information through the newspapers and T.V. news to make everyone believed that it was a fact that Saddam was link to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and that in fact he had weapons of mass destruction. Also The New York Times was the first newspaper informing to the public about this evidence and a day after Cheney used the same information to convince the people that in fact this fact and Saddam need to be stop. They went to war without following all the protocols of inspections in order to corroborate their speculations. We all believe it, until the damage was done.

Gerald Ford was the previous president before and James Carter. James Carter was a liberal. While Ford was a conservative. Mr.Carter agrees about legally hiring women and minorities, while Mr. Ford did not agree. Gerald Ford agrees with absolute right to gun ownership while James Carter feels the opposite. Mr. Carter agreed to raise taxes on the wealthier and Mr. Ford does not believe to raise taxes on the wealthy.

and Bush Jr.’s presidencies, they continued the work of Reagan by eliminating waste, however they both faced many obstacles. When Bush Sr. became President, the federal debt was $2.8 trillion. Due to the financial situation, Bush couldn't create many of his own feeder all programs. He called this a “limited agenda” and could make the changes he wanted. Instead, he just continued the programs of Reagan. When Bush Jr. came to office one of the first programs he installed was the No Child Left Behind Act, which expanded federal funding for education. This act also instructed that every child in America must have basic reading and math skills, and no child was to be left behind. Bush also worked towards his vision of an “ownership society” of personal responsibility thin his second term. He wanted American citizens to have increased ownership of houses, businesses, retirement accounts, and health insurance. This idea created new benefits and competition increased, and it was the largest expansion of Medicare since 1965. How're both of these President, tried to decrease the government involvement in daily lives and tried to decrease government

they share an equal amount of differences. John Adams was a manipulative man. During his presidency, he created acts like the Sedition Act, which did not allow the press to say anything to malign the president or Congress, and the Alien Act, which extended the time for foreign people to get into the United States. Adams additionally conducted the XYZ affair and had Midnight Judges. John Adams was a Federalist, and they believed that the U.S. should have a strong federal government, have rule by the wealthy class only, and have an alliance with the British. The Federalists also had an emphasis on manufacturing and a loose interpretation of the Constitution. This shows what Adams was like, what he did during his presidency, and what political party he was from. Thomas Jefferson was just as diverse as John Adams during his life as well. Thomas Jefferson was from the Republican party and they believed in strong state governments, rule by the people, and an alliance with France. Additionally, they believed that there should be emphasis on agriculture and had a strict interpretation of the Constitution. During his presidency, Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States from the Louisiana Purchase, cut military expenses to reduce debt, cut the army by one third, and repealed the Whiskey Tax. This shows what party Jefferson was on and what he did during his presidency. In conclusion, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were just as varied from each other as they were

George also launched an aggressive campaign against Michael Dukakis. After that campaign, George won the presidency with an electoral vote of 53 percent and with 426 college votes. During this presidency he chose Dan Quayle to be his Vice President and did not want to significantly change Reagan’s Legacy. He also opposed flag burnings and abortions but supported free trade and community volunteerism. George wanted to be remembered by and education president. After his first presidency he wanted to run again in the 1992 presidency election. George ran a lifeless campaign. His second campaign was hurt because people found out that George broke his promise to them in his 1988 campaign. Also, people in government gave him a hard time but despite all of the negativity, George won the nomination from the Republican Party. While George was in office, he mainly focused on Foreign Policy successes rather than the economy back home in the United States.

8 years after his father stepped down as president, George H.W. Bush's son followed in his footsteps. The inauguration of George W. Bush happened on January 20, 2001 and again with the same date in 2005. His first presidential election was against Democratic candidate Al Gore. The margin of victory caused a recount in Florida to decide who would win. Bush won even though he lost against Gore in the popular vote. His second election was against John Kerry. Bush beat Kerry, but this time he got the popular vote.

George H.W. Bush deserves to be named “Person of the Decade”. He worked hard to follow his own beliefs in what was the right thing to do and achieved amazing things because of that. When dealing with the Soviet Union and Mikhail Gorbachev he established his own methods and plan instead of following Raegan’s. Soon after his plan was established things in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union began to change. The berlin wall collapsed and the communist rule through out Eastern Europe was overthrown. Bush chose to let all of these events happen naturally, cautious not to do anything to make Gorbachev’s position any worse. Bush had the policy review complete and decided to meet with Gorbachev. While in the meeting they laid the basis for completing

In 2003, President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell launched an invasion of the nation of Iraq. United States Secretary of State Colin Powell outlined the reasons Iraq posed a threat to international security in a speech he gave at the United Nations. Iraq’s nuclear weapons program concerned the Bush administration. Fearing Iraq might use this program to act aggressively in the region, and wanting to secure oil supplies and a friendly regime, the administration pursued a plan of action to remove Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from power (FLS 2016, 43). A constant secure supply of oil stood as a cornerstone of the military-industrial complex thriving in the United States and a friendly regime in such an oil rich country remained an important objective of President Bush. This directly conflicted with the desire of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq to remain in power.

     The war waged on Iraq by the United States has been the cause of heated debate all over the world. Many people have opposed the United States attack on Iraq for many viable reasons. Some of these reasons include that it is not in the best interests for the reputation of the United States with the other nations of the global community, it poses an increased threat to United States homeland security, and it will result in many unjust crimes committed by the United States.

The Reason for Going to War Since the beginning of the war on Iraq, over 8243 civilians, 11000 Iraqi soldiers and 642 Coalition soldiers have died. There has not been one day since a US soldier was killed and since the beginning of the occupation, 39750 bombs have been dropped and $117 billion dollars have been spent. And no weapons of mass destruction have been found.

The main reason for invading Iraq was because America is concerned about the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons Saddam Hussein might have. Intelligence indicated Saddam was reconstituting its nuclear weapons program and maintained links to al Qaeda affiliates to whom it might give such weapons to use against the United States. After two years of examining Iraq, the weapon search group failed to find weapon of mass destruction stockpiles or any program to produce them. The Bush administration has expressed disappointment that no weapons or started programs to produce weapons were found, but the White House had been reluctant to call off the search, holding out the possibility that weapons were moved out of Iraq before the war or are hidden somewhere inside the country. But the intelligence official said that possibility is very small. It is very likely if Iraq was holding any kind of weapons that America is concerned about, they would have used it to keep U.S soldiers out of Iraq.

On September 20, 2002, the Bush administration published a national security manifesto titled "The National Security Strategy of the United States of America"; sometimes called “the Bush Doctrine”, which is a justification for easy recourse to war whenever and wherever an American president chooses. The United States wanted more control over the Middle East and the oil that could be obtained there; all they needed was an excuse to go to war and in turn be able to obtain resources. After 9/11 Bush had his excuse; Al Qaeda. Weaving a trail of propaganda and fear through the media with false information, Bush ordered an invasion of Iraq in pursuit of his form of hegemonic internationalism. The reasons broadcasted by the White House claimed that Saddam Hussein (President of Iraq in 2002) was building weapons of mass destruction and promoting/supporting terrorism which made him a grave threat to the western world. The real reason behind invading Iraq was to secure American access to vital resources, being oil. Iraq had been attacking Iran who was dangerously close to Saudi Arabia which is a huge supplier of oil to the United States. Once the United States had control of Iraq they installed a sympathetic “democratic” government which had eliminated the Iraqi threat to Saudi oil. Through the pursuit of hegemonic internationalism the United States had achieved one of its national interests, obtaining vital resources, but at a huge cost. Over 1 million
