I have decided to go the mature route here and post a carefully thought out and insightful viewpoint.

Time to leave Looney-Tunes and go into the real world.

Let us start here. There was real fear in NYC on 9/11.
Amyone wish to debate that? One just needs to return
to the images of the day.

Historically, war time Presidents cannot openly and freely
discuss many things. It compromises mission and operation
security if they do. Think FDR would have made a public
announcement of D-Day on say...June 1st? When you ask for
more and more media information and for more and more
complete answers from war time leaders, that is in essences
what you are asking them to do.

A person ages when he/she put others into harms way.
Look at President Lincoln late in his Presidency. President
Bush is going thru similar trials here. I personally have
had some of those same kind of personal experiences over
the last few years. It is hard and it ages you.

We all want is to be inside the decision making
process here. But that obligation and duty was given
to Bush and Cheney in the vote. I don't like some of things
done by this administration. But do you really think
Kerry/Edwards would have handled the situations given
better? or that much differently?

There is limitations to what even a President of a super
power can do. Things like 9/11, Katrina, a sniper in Iraq
pulling a trigger, he has little effect or no effect over.
We all would like to have the 'buck stops here sign' on President
Bush desk. But how many of us would want to sit behind that
desk?

OMFG! you CAN'T be serious! I think YOU could have handled the situation better! I can garrantee you that John Kerry (a veteran of Viet Nam) would have never made the blunder of invading Iraq. We would have finished the job in Afganistan by wiping out the Taliban and Al Quida, Osama Bin Laden would be behind bars waiting for his death sentence to be executed if he was still alive by now and the poppy fields would have been converted to growing crops for food instead of heroin which are destroying the lives of millions of our people every year.
That is what was lost by the colossal mistake that SO many Americans made when they went to vote for president in 2000 and again in 2004. It never ceases to amaze me what people will do when they are scared.

There's a saying that people get the government they deserve, I guess we don't deserve any better if we Americans insist on being stupid and afraid instead of digging for the truth and having the balls to fight for our freedoms.

Could Kerry/Edwards have done any worse? No need to respond we all know the answer.

George Bush is my Hero, and my commander in Chief

That picture above cracks me up. Typical scheme of republicans to
ruin the economy so they can become rich when everybody else
becomes poor. LOL

Whats funny is the person who created this photo is my uncle, and he is a Democrat! go figure!

you're from Texas....of course you like the facist Geo. W. Bush

Point I make here is this. Kerry/Edwards would have had the same military forces as Bush had for AF. Was It Bush's fault that bin Laden slipped through into Pakistan? Or that maybe that with the locals supportings him, he would have slipped thru no matter who was in the White House? No matter matter what forces we deployed?
The Russians chased him around for a long time too and did not get him.

bin Laden and his group have been in these mountians for years. Tora
Bora had been used by them during the Russian/Afghan war, years earlier. Terrian plays a big part here. They knew the terrian. In AF that favors the kind of operations and activities that AlQueada uses. This was a tough capture. What additional forces do you think Kerry/Edwards could have deployed or what other decisions they could have made to make it happen?

As for Iraq. I do agree. Other that taking a out a brutal dictator. Iraq is
an error. We have placed a lot of political capitol into Iraq. But is there return here? Are we going to get a democractic Iraq our this? And have we gotten closer to solving the real issues of Islamic terrorism?
Those are all questions up in the air.

This is not to say that our people there, have not done great things. They have. They often have been outnumbered in this urban environment fight. Often coming into well prepared positions of the enemy. And they have reduced the violence there. The surge has worked to a degree. A future withdrawal can be done....maybe a fast one or slower paced one.

~~~I may be from Texas but I didn't vote for him...so there for "don't blame me!!! He is not my neighbor!!!"



Hi everyone

If my memory is correct, and it is ....btw, Clinton's crew had the chance to take Osama out in the 90's, but there was some fear of collateral damage...what would the world think of him and his administration if there was collateral damage? Of course, hind sight is 20/20. It's not fair to judge Clinton based on that.

People have selective memories, it does seem. Virtually all free nations had intelligence that Sadam had weapons of mass destruction. Of course, that's important and convenient to overlook.

I'm amazed that someone would know what John "I'm a Viet Nam War hero" Kerry would have done...I doubt the he knows what he would have done. Another case of 20/20 hind site.

Truman had a 23% favorability rating when he left office... a little lower than Bush's. Fifty years from now it may be interesting to see how history treats Bush.

There's tons of insight.... a ruined economy gets people rich?

Thats why i dont vote anymore......

Yeah..he grins like he just did too..lol

Yes fear mongering. I am sure that fear mongering brought down the towers. I am sure if we just get a person in the white house that will go around the world and sing kum-by-ah all will be peaceful in the world. I am sure that the middle east will settle down as soon as we get out of there.

I like George Bush because he does not take a poll every time he needs to make a decision. No I have not agreed with every thing he has done, but I am sure I will not no matter who wins. I know some history and I know you need to take the fight to the enemy.

ITS A LONG RIDE DOWN TO HELL. BUT WHEN YOU GET HERE YOU CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHO IS GOOD AND WHOSE LIE YOU WILL BELIEVE AND FOLLOW. THAT'S MY GREATEST FEAR AND KNOWLDEGE OF THE AMERICAN CITIZENS. AMIDST THEIR CHRISTIAN ADMONITIONS HELL BECAME THEIR HOME.
CAN YOU TELLTHE DIFFERENCE? RAZOR SHARPEN YOUR MIND, FOCUS YOUR EYES INTO A LASER BEAM, LEARN TO LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF SILENCE, AND SPEAK WITH A QUIET TONGUE. WHEN YOU HAVE MASTERED THESE FEATS YOU ARE READY TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN CHANGING A COUNTRY GONE INSANE
