'''George Walker Bush''' (born 1946) was the Governor of [[Texas]] (1996-2001) and has served as the [[Republican]] [[President of the United States of America]] since 2001. He won the office by a narrow margin in the decisive State of [[Florida]]. Legal challenges to the certified vote count went all the way to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] in 2000. Democratic contender [[Al Gore]] initially conceded defeat on the night of the election, but then contested the outcome for weeks in the Supreme Court case ''Gore v. Bush''.

In 2004, George W. Bush won reelection by a popular margin of millions of votes, including a 300,000 vote (5%) victory<ref>[http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/SummaryRpt.asp?ElectionDate=11/2/2004&Race=PRE&DATAMODE= Florida Election Records], ''[[Florida Dept. of State]]''</ref> in the State of Florida where the outcome had been so close in 2000. Democratic candidate [[John Kerry]] quickly conceded defeat the day after the election.

For many months after John Kerry conceded the outcome of the 2004 election to George W. Bush, some American [[liberals]] continued to claim that the election had somehow been stolen by voter fraud.

In 2006, the Democratic Party narrowly won control of both Houses of Congress, leaving the final two years of the Bush Administration in a state of [[divided government]].

George W. Bush has spent most of his Presidency focusing on foreign policy issues, namely the war on terror in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the USA. As part of the fight against terrorism, he has instituted regime changes in the countries of [[Afghanistan]] and [[Iraq]]. On January 10, 2007, he said "The situation in Iraq is unacceptable ... Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me".<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16558652/</ref> He is now working tirelessly to end the Iraqi insurgency and stabilize the region.

President Bush is responsible for countless deaths, the erosion of civil rights in the United States, igniting the mid-east in sectarian violence, and taking the entire country backwards in the environmental movement. Movements are under way to impeach the President and his Vice-President, Dick Cheney.

George W. Bush is the son of [[George H. W. Bush]], who served as vice-president from 1981 to 1989 and as president from 1989 to 1993.

9-11

9-11 refers to a terrorist attack on the the [[United States of America]] that occurred on September 11, 2001. This was the catalyst resulting in the [[War on Terror]]. Nearly 3000 innocent people were killed by 19 terrorist who hijacked planes. These planes were then crashed into the World Trade Center buildings one and two in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington DC and a field in Pennsylvania.

Many conspiracy theories have sprouted up from the events of 9-11, including the "Loose Change" movies seen on YouTube. However, amateur movies such as "Loose Change" in no way represent the most compelling arguments for the Bush Admnistration being implicit or even behind the attacks. Although mainstream media outlets and so called "experts" claim to disprove 9/11 conspiracy theories, they have done no such thing. Proponants of the official story, when "debunking" 9/11 "myths", choose the most extreme and ill-argued theories and then claim that by disproving one theory, they've disproved them all. Legitimate inquries into the attacks such as "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11" by David Griffin have yet to be countered with anything but prejudiced rhetoric and skewed facts. A growing movement, The Scholars for 9/11 Truth, consists of experts and scholars alike who, like many Americans, look at the official story of 9/11 and are left with many questions.
So-called rebuttals found on YouTube such as the "Screw Loose Change" video offer no compelling evidence to counter the arguments conspiracy theorists have made.
