    Texas in The White House! It was a war cabinet from day one. Vice-president Dick Cheney was elder Bush's Secretary of Defense. Colin Powell was the big General in the Gulf War. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was an ex-wrestler who worked for Nixon and Ford. Television dug up footage from the Gulf War as soon as the Bush administration came in. For nearly 8 months, Bush's group had no purpose. After 9/11, it had all the purpose in the world. No one saw 9/11 coming. Blaming either party is absurd. Bin Laden and al Qaeda attacked all America. Any American could have been inside the Twin Towers of The World Trade Center on that day: Republican, Democrat, white, black or Hispanic. It was both an act of terror and the beginning of a crusade by Muslim extremists against Christians and Jews. George W. rose to the challenge. 9/11 changed him. He became a man of steel, a man of faith. He developed the same self-deprecating sense of humor that Reagan had. He appointed minorites. He proclaimed the civil rights of every American and freedom for all. He pledged to nominate qualified people to serve as judges. Bush views the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of a larger War on Terror. Saddam Hussein boasted he would fight and die in Baghdad. When Saddam was captured, he was found hiding in a hole like an animal. It is too easy to call him a coward. There are plenty of radical Muslims willing to die for their cause. Bush named an "evil axis" composed of Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Iran is trying to enrich uranium while North Korea claims to have nuclear weapons. North Korea wants to talk to the United States one on one while Bush insists on multi-lateral talks involving 6 nations. It would be advantageous to do both. Democrats criticize Bush for going into Iraq and taking the focus off al Qaeda. Bin Laden is thought to be in the mountains near the Pakistan/Afghanistan border. He remains a threat because of his hatred for the United States and everything that smacks of civilization. Better intelligence is needed. It is imperative that terrorists not gain access to nuclear weapons. There is a down side to Bush 43 when it comes to domestic policies. He has gotten his way because of 9/11. Without a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, he might have been a one-termer like his father. Voters were reluctant to change during war time. Bush has implemented tax cuts for his oil buddies. He is the president of the rich. Education and science have suffered at the expense of religion. Still, Bush's speech about going to Mars coincided with a NASA plan to return to the moon by 2018 and to reach Mars by 2030. The price of gasoline has doubled under Bush. Never before has this happened from one president to the next. The Republican Congress has given oil companies the go ahead for drilling in Alaska's wildlife refuge, something we must do. Alternative energy sources are being researched. Bush wanted to privatize Social Security. To privatize Social Security would be to turn it into something else. Social Security is a government program stemming from the FDR era, a response to the Great Depression. It was not designed to be a pension fund. It was designed to be a safety net for the aged and disabled who are unable to take care of themselves. If Bush can appoint judges to the Supreme Court who will overturn Roe v. Wade, it will be a monumental achievement. 46 million babies have been aborted since 1973 in what has become an American Holocaust. John Roberts and Sam Alito can move us away from national suicide. George Bush spoke of a "coalition of the willing" when he invaded Iraq. This is in his favor. Saddam caused his own downfall. The United States has the right to defend itself as long as that defense is made by the willing. No one has been drafted and sent to Iraq. The soldiers there are volunteers. Their courage and loyalty to their country can not be questioned. It is a dangerous mission. As I write, there have been 2,316 Americans killed in Iraq. This is a high price. 40% approve of the way Bush is handling the war due to his recent speeches and the election of a permanent Iraqi Parliament. I empathize when he says it is his job to defend the American people. It is imperative that Americans stand together against an enemy who would destroy us all. George Bush insists on total victory. He is doing what he said he would. He has kept America safe after 9/11 and has brought democracy to Iraq. Al Qaeda and its terrorists had America surrounded. Bush distracted them by taking the fight to the desert. It was a standoff between the Bushes of Texas and the Husseins of Baghdad going back to the Gulf War of 1990-91. One family had to go down just as Roosevelt or Hitler had to go down in World War II. America is the leader of the free world and must rise to its destiny. 2004-05 was a test for Bush. He passed the test. He survived the Michael Moores, John Kerrys, Cindy Sheehans, Jane Fondas, Ted Kennedys and Harry Reids. History can only acknowledge George W. Bush's greatness and his legacy of freedom to all humankind.

    yeah, I love knowing that every dollar I spend, more of it goes to a "war" for which we have no answers for, than education.

    and speaking of education, ther is something inherently wrong with this country's priorities, when more money is being spent per inmate every year, than per student; evident that we live in a perpetual "police state". Rather than that tired argument of complacency "well if you don't like this country, why don't you get out?", I think those same people should get their heads out of their asses to realize the real situation in this country. Who really gives a shit what a mother should do with her baby? Is someone else going to bare the burden? Meanwhile dogmatic idiots declare that stem-cell cloning is meddling with God's affairs, while more democratic nations (such as sweden) enjoy greater medical advances and longer lifespans. I thought this country was the "most democratic country in the world"; Brazil and Sweden have both used E85 fuel technology for years.
    Bush? I won't even get into what a puppet he is; he's a cowboy from Connecticut, not Texas, who has made some obvious bonehead mistakes.

    Yes, President Bush spreading "freedom" through spying, limiting of civil liberties, sending the young to die, perpetrating a civil war in Iraq (and ideologically in America), ignoring allied concerns, censoring dissent, ignoring FISA and the Geneva Convention, starting a preemptive, unilateral war on a nation who neither attacked us nor threatened us, putting corporate interests above public interests, misinforming Americans about reasons of the war, about New Orleans' disaster relief and constantly condescending those who disagree with him because they "have a right to their opinion", but he is "RIGHT"-- "GOD TOLD HIM TO DO IT!"

    Bush is a fucking human disaster. He consistently and blatantly breaks the law and has committed the worst CONSTITUTIONAL violations of any American President in history. (*including Nixon)

    As much as he tries to silence dissent maybe we should refer to him as "PRESIDENT SHUSH."

    Do you think every opinion has a flaw in it or is just wildly WRONG.. In other words a part that is juts not true.. well for me
    You can 'sound off like you have a pair'.. but come on do you honestly believe this to be true ?.

    I watched the documentary..that came from.. and

    Talk about manipulating information..

    "Bush God comments 'not literal'"

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4320586.stm


    It would be wrong to go through all the points you made..

    but come on be reseonable at least.

    Stop speaking like Jon stewart on the daily show...

    Instead of just spouting rhetoric prove you have a point .. with some factual and accurate information.. heck you can keep it all in some folder to trot it out everytime you throw about these claims of yours..

    Before you ask NO i am not defending BUSH [as such].. just a bit pissed off when all that happens when somebody posts this kinda thing is

    Matthew ,with all due respect,would you care to refute Libertine's points?
     
  16. Yes...matthew, please do. I like you, but you're still yet to gain my respect after you presented me with several articles containing so called factual evidence showing connections between osama BL and Sadam all from the same biased far right web site!!!!

    So please, go ahead.

    They're irrefutable if you use real, logical evidence. So, assuming he knows what real, logical evidence is, and I think he does, he would be unwise to try.

    From what I learned, Osma Bin Laden hated Saddam because Saddam was pushing a secular state based upon nationalism. Hence, the invision of Kuwait. Kuwait used to be a part of Iraq before British Colonialization. In Saddam's eyes, that land belonged to the Iraqi people, as he was a fascist. Bin Laden believed in a state run on the principles of radical Islam. Before the Gulf War, BL offered his "mujahadeen" aka freedom fighters, as they were known in the Soviet/ immediate post era, to fight Saddam's troops. BL's goal was to keep the "infidels" out of the holy land. Bush I said shove it, and the rest is history. Sort of.

    Just because Saddam & BL shared a common enemy, US, doesn't mean they were partners. Remember, the enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend...

    I didn't want to touch the Bush subject with a ten foot pole...

    Peace & love

    i said

    It would be wrong to go through all the points you made..



    Because we would be getting into debates that can go on for YEARS.. It would be wrong..because i don't happen to agree with him, but did not want to get into a big debate with ALL the things he said..

    I was suggesting within every opinion there is a flaw within it.. when i read that bit i quoted.. that was the bit for me.

    IF Libertine had watched the documentary.. if he HAD looked into its origins he would have NOT [i don't think] used that comment.. because it is just WRONG.

    It is just 'manipulating information'

    I don't think i was seeking it to be honest with you.. but i'm not going to argue over that .. bit petty.

    I don't think i claimed they were factual.. i THINK i was disputing your point that there was NO link.. THERE IS [even if it is disputable] evidence connecting Saddam with OBL .. I never noticed where the articles came from .. not really the point.

    You can snub any part of this 'connection' as comeing from the 'goverment' etc etc etc but i seem to remember you were dismissing any possible link. ?.. i don't wish to alter the history of what was said [i can't remember the details to be honest-can't find the thread].

    Edit:

    found it...

    Note the word SPECULATION.
