Rating:  Summary: Reading to schoolkids? Review: OK. Sorry to be off-topic, like many detractors of this book, but this just can't be passed up.The party that prides itself on loving and caring for schoolkids is suddenly scorning the fact that the president was with an elementary school class when the first vague bits of information about 9-11 started coming in. Perhaps the president's opponents think he was out of place - a conservative amongst children. Perhaps they project their own interpretation - a photo opportunity that lingered inappropriately during a national crisis. Or maybe the president was simply acting Presidential in front of the most vulnerable in our society. Thank heavens he wasn't meeting with corporate chiefs or Halliburton. What a field day THAT would be!
Rating:  Summary: Why would anyone buy this book? Review: Here in Australia we get Fox "Classics" on Channel 33 and Fox "News" on Channel 37. At 6:30 in the evening old black and white episodes of "Mr Ed" are being shown on Channel 33 and Sean Hannity is on Channel 37. So you have the choice of watching a talking horse on one channel, and a talking horse's arse on the other!
Rating:  Summary: What Hannity and Bush Don't Want You to Know Review: The Forgotten Soldiers of Operation "Iraqi Freedom" His name's Maurice. He's 26 years old with a face like an angel and a computerized prosthesis where his left leg used to be. His name's Victor and he still seems like a boy. His cherubic face, set against blond hair, is plagued by an unanswerable question every time his restless eyes inadvertently fall on the stump: "Why?" His name's Steve and you couldn't imagine a more All-American soldier -- that is to say if he hadn't lost his right arm. A real good patriot, he's always in control of himself and he has the air of an American hero. His name's Rob. Bound to a wheelchair, he's mad at the whole world and explodes in a barrage of insults at everyone and everything for the loss of his right leg and the uselessness of his left. Maurice, Victor, Steve, and Rob are just a few of the thousands of GI's returning from Iraq -- often with one or more limbs amputated, flown in with little notice under the cover of night and brought to Walter Reed military Hospital in Washington, D.C. Here, they're operated on, treated, fitted with prosthetics when possible, generally medicated, and given psychological and physical therapy. For the record, Walter Reed is the hospital where wounded soldiers returning from Vietnam went. No fanfare for these heroes. On top of the injuries they've had to endure to their bodies and hearts, they come home to be ignored by mainstream American media. Only an English TV station, Channel 4, considered it newsworthy to go to the hospital to interview the injured soldiers. Of course, all interviewees must be selected and briefed by army leadership in advance of any conversations with journalists. Curiously, the casualty statistics released by the Pentagon contradict those of the U.S Army. While the Pentagon contends that 2722 soldiers have been wounded in action and 417 in non hostile fire as of March 1, the U.S. Air Force confides that it has flown approximately 12,000 wounded soldiers into Andrews Air Force Base over the past 9 months. With the severity of injuries sustained, it seems like the Pentagon's reduced estimates are meant to camouflage a scandal that could cost George Bush his re-election. "They come here [to Walter Reed Hospital]19 or 20 old and when I see them leaving with missing limbs - I've seen up to 3 limbs gone off people and I don't think in our generation, we've seen this amount of harm done to young people", explained Major General Delaune on public radio in Minnesota. "During the Gulf War, there were about 3 soldiers wounded for every death. In the current Iraq war, there are 7 wounded for every death", says an article titled "New Technologies and Medical Practices Save Lives in Iraq" in a Knight-Ridder newsaper. The facts support this statement: the Kevlar vests the soldiers now wear save lives, not limbs. England's newspaper The Guardian reports that the medical personnel, overwhelmed, work 70-80 hours a week, and according to CBS, Washington's largest military hospital has had to borrow beds from its cancer ward to meet the swollen needs of its prosthetics ward. Still the hospital can't handle the load, and several wounded soldiers are being put up in a nearby hotel. _____________________________________________________ Of course you won't be seeing any of this in a Bush campaign ad.
Rating:  Summary: waaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Enough 1 star reviews from people who haven't even read the book. If you need a newsgroup to make you feel better, go to moveon.org and vent among your own kind. At least have the common decency to read the book first! All the evils of George Bush in one review - 1) Liberated 20 million Iraqi's, 2) liberated millions of women, men, children in Afghanistan, 3) Recovering economy at the fasted rate in history, all after Clinton's 99-01 recession, 4) Removed Libya's WMD program without firing a single shot (in Libya at least), 5) AND gave us more of our hard earned money back in each paycheck, 6) AND if you're a medicare recipient, you should be first in line to re-elect the man!
Rating:  Summary: Despotism? DESPOTISM? Review: For goodness sake, if insHannity is worried about despotism, he should be appalled at the despots in the radical Bush Administration.
Rating:  Summary: great book Review: What's funny about you "hate" reviewers is you either hate the title, or just plain hate conservatives. To be honest when you people show this much hate for something you've never read, or show this much hate for someone who does not agree with your personal views, you actually show how ignorant you really are. Sometimes people need to understand the truth. When you bash someone's hard work and trash their name, when you don't read their book or know that person, you are judging people. To truly be a society with standards we must look past all this hate, and just accept someone's opinion, EVEN if we disagree with it. Now, I don't agree with both parties all the time, BUT conservatives seem to stick to their beliefs. So you "haters" out their really need to grow up and RESPECT other people's beliefs. Think about this....do you want people to hate you because of your beliefs???? Oh, and read the book before you post negative comments about the title of this book...you actually might learn something.
Rating:  Summary: Update Your Book Hannity, Bush is US Economic Terrorist Review: Stocks tumble on job fears: Nasdaq erases gains for year; Dow loses 72; Three-week slide continues; Investors increasingly uneasy about economy... Bush, be a Patriot and resign for the good of the country - Please...
Rating:  Summary: Many good ideas but .................. Review: I am a daily listener to Mr. Hannity and I truly enjoyed this book. Even as a long time listener to Mr. Hannity, I learned much from this book. Some of the commentary at Amazon seems to be written by people who simply object to the provocative nature of the title and haven't read anything beyond the cover. I do think the title of this book is unfortunate. It probably helps sell the book, but it is more stident than necessary.
Rating:  Summary: A MUST READ Review: This is an excellent book. A must have in everyones home library. Sean's second book brings indisputable proof that we must destroy Evil by defeating terrorism, despotism, and liberalism. Sean writes and discusses not only what's going on right now, but the history that led up to our current situation in world politics. As Americans, we face an ongoing war against terrorists and their state sponsors around the world, Sean reminds us that we must also cope with the continuing scourge of accommodation and weakness at home. We must recognize the dangers of Evil and must have the leaders to have the courage during these times for decisive action. I loved his first book as well as his second,and would recommend it to anyone, liberal or conservative.
Rating:  Summary: they need to teach this is school! Review: YES...I am reading this book and learning soo much!! Very excellent information which puts history in perspective!
