Bush Praises Kerry's 'Honorable' Stint in Vietnam

[apothanein kerdos]

How many terrorist attacks against the US have there been since Bush took action? Prior to Bush taking action, we had problems in Kenya, Yemen, Germany, and a plethera of other nations. Since 9/11, the only place a terrorist attack has occured against US soldiers/citizens is in Iraq.

We have a difference of opinion. In my opinion it shows weakness to the world and to terrorists that the leader of the US takes 7 minutes to spring into any kind action when his nation is under attack.

But you aren't satisfied with the action he has taken since 9/11 either are you?

He has handled everything offensively and with strength yet theres problems with that also, right?

The thing is, for some out there this president can do nothing right and you will never be satisfied with a single decision he makes.

My problem is not with strength, it is with the direction of strength. Smart strength is better than brute strength. If as much money and power was spent on Iraq as on Osama he would be dead or in jail right now.

Iran and Saudi Arabia and MUCH more heavily involved in global terrorism. North Korea is much more of a WMD threat. The only arguement left is to free Iraq from a brutal dictator but there are dozens of brutal dictators in the world. If America tried to end all brutal dictators with an actual full fledged war there would not be enough Americans.

Yeah and if Bill Clinton had done his job George Bush wouldn't have inherited his failures.

Did you know that over the course of Clinton's presidency, there were 6 attacks linked to Bin Laden such as: 93 WTC bombing, 93 attack on U.S. Ranger in Somalia, 95 bombing in Saudi Arabia, 96 Khobar Towers attack, 98 attack on U.S. embassies in Africa, and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole?

I believe that Iraq was a threat and that due to the incompetence of the inspectors syria now has more weapons to add to her arsenal.

I believe Bush acted upon the intellegence that he had.

I can find you a lot of quotes from the democrats stating that Iraq had WMD's before this war began.

It isn't good for their political platform to unify with this president at this time.

Why bring Clinton up with me? I'm not a Democrat.

Because you think Bush is incompetent....Hardly. Looks to me like he's mopping up!

on the other end of the arguement I see too many people nearly diefying Bush. No man can be a perfect president and when they make mistakes it is the duty of the people to object. Democracy does not work without accountability from leadership. A huge mistake was made with WMDs and how Iraq was handled after the "mission accomplished" announcment.

And even people close to Bush says he relies on his aids very much and acts more to unify the aims of his cabinet. I myself really do not like Cheney and I would be surprised if you could honestly say you would. He swore in senate and is always spewing hatred. I do like powell but he is muted in the cabinet and basically used as a salesman for the administration.

Actually Americans do not object to Bush as much as our biased media would like for you to believe. There are a lot of people in this country who support him.

A huge mistake was made with WMDs and how Iraq was handled after the "mission accomplished" announcment.

Again the media tried to sensationalize the announcement of "mission accomplished". The official war was over at that point, sure people were still being killed because the country had no established leadership in place at that point. But the general mission was accomplished as fas as the country being taken back. The goal was then to provide decent leadership.

As far as Cheney, I have no opinion of him one way or another.

He didn't mention that Kerry has admitted being unable to think or do anything for 40 minutes after learning about the terrorist attacks.

Lol it was not Kerry's job to do something, it was Bush's. Kerry was not the president and was not briefed or had seen nearly what Bush had seen in regards to global terrorism.

Prepare plans by consultation, And make war by wise guidance.
