I'm sorry paddy, for a minute I thought you were only asking Americans why we dislike Bush....we believe he misled us and we could not afford to undertake something that planned way before 9/11 in the cost of human lifes including innocent Iraqi's and financially. We believe it was a mistake but we will have to pay the consequences and it is our soldiers over there dying.
as far as his heart being in the right place, i think it would be in an entirely different place if his loved ones were over there and might return in body bags or flag-draped caskets. i'm sure it's easy to sacrifice someone else's loved ones for the greater good.
my son is over there right now, so i know of what i speak.
if it was only his inexperience at foreign affairs and invasion and waging war.... these things one l ust learn on the job. however his statre texas when a natural disaster occured he has had experience but he displayed no leadership and forced subordinates to react to the crisis..... while all the time thinking What Would Bush Do?... no too many incidents have happened anf he did not react quickly or properly... to many bad decision to many tims he ignored those more knowledgeable and too many times he deliberately seeked answers from those whose interests where not for the best interests of the country... and to this day he continues to ignore those who have actually tasted the soup he mnade and still he ignores on how to make it easier to digest.
as for intelligent and sensible comment my president is BUSH and if its good enough for him to not make sensible and intelligent comments by God its good enough for me....
on a different matter...
whose gonna take Tony (the tiger) Blairs place ?? will it be a college bud of the presidents or the son of someone directly associated with daddy bush???
You exaggerated what I said. I never said Bush is a terrorist. But I honestly don't see a moral difference in killing innocent people whether you believe Jesus or Muhamed told you to do so. It's both lunacy.
That's what it'll take. It won't happen while Bush is still Pres., but watch, the complaint then will be that he didn't do enought to put a stop to the terror groups.
this lines reeks or terrorism..."Or maybe let's wait 'till al quaeda is on our own shores?..
lines like this remind me stories i was told as a child of the boogey man, and he werewolf and vampires.....
we have the most advanced tools in security at our disposable..
does anyone think the calming and cessation of war in Iraq is gonna even slow down the growth of terrorism?????
most government that govern by representation acknowledge this was a wake up call and all are in danger.... so much like any random act by a crazy person or zealot zealots are easier to I.D..
Still we all realize that it takes weilding a big stick in one hand and a snack in the other when dealing with someones dog that has become a mad dog.... understand I am not calling the people of that region mad dogs ..it is the situation over there that i direct this descriptin too.
When it comes to mad dogs, I believe in the Atticus Finch method of dealing with them. Unfortunately so many feel that we should let the dog bite us and then coddle it awhile, let it wander loose and attack others.
