I am curious about something that I hope a Bush supporter can answer. I know that one of the central themes of the Bush campaign has been how Sen. Kerry "flip-flops" on critical issues, while Bush has been firm in his convictions-which is the hallmark of a true commander in chief, according to most Republicans I have heard. But, didn't Bush oppose the 9/11 commission before it convened, but now he accepts its conclusions-which really point to the failures of his intelligence people since it did happen on BUSH'S watch? And since it happened, who took the blame for it? Was anyone fired? Rumsfeld? Rice? Cheney? Anyone???
And what about Yasser Arafat and the PLO? The U.S. is still funding money to him, even though we know that it's not going to the Palestinians who really need it, but into Arafat's pockets. Obviously Bush knows that we are basically funding Arafat's terrorists activities, so Arafat is killing with our money. Why? And before any of you say it doesn't matter what Arafat does, or how it affects the U.S., I say that if we put ourselves in the position of being the world's peacekeepers, it does directly affect us, because the war on terror is a global war.
And if nuclear poliferation really is important in the war on terror, then what is Bush going to do about Iran? Bush did say that Iran is in the "Axis of Evil" with Iraq and North Korea. And really, the whole world knows that Iran is on the verge of becoming nuclear, just like North Korea. While I agree that the U.S. doesn't need approval from France or any other EU country, how will he disarm Iran? Get Israel to take them out? Send troops to Iran?
To me, these are some of the things that are important to me. And since President Bush's message to me is that he is the one to trust to fight the war on terror, I would like to see some discussion about this by some Bush supporters...
