That is silly. Iraq had not attacked us and Osama was not in Iraq. Bush was settling his daddies grudge. No one is complaining about the US capturing and killing terrorist. Iraq lost a evil dictator( which is a great thing) but it was not apart of the war on terror. The WMD and Osama had ties with Iraq was the reasons going in neither have been found or proved.

Yeah, "settling his daddy's grudge" which was supported by most of the American people and a majority of Congress. We also had intelligence from agencies around the world who also believed there were WMD in Iraq, and it is basically undisputed that they were there at one time. It is a part of the war on terror because Iraq has undoubtedly harbored and protected terrorists. Even if we accept your statement that it wasn't (which is false) a part of the war on terror, it most certainly is now.

hhhmmm........

what if everyone is wrong? what if he isn't settling his father's grudge, maybe he is showing him up. Like saying "haha, you failed, I got Hussein, I told you I would be better than Jeb" like what if that is going on in his mind.

Something to ponder.


or not

I just wonder when Democtrats and Republicans became a difference as individuals when the put on the mantle of Congress People?

Since Democrats won congress, they were going to be kinder and work with Republicans. Well, I guess we can see how that worked out so well.

that's about right, go W.

He's not as bad as those who don't like him say he his, but he's not as good as his supporters make him out to be either.

He seems like a pretty decent guy, but only an average president.

I concur. People who say he's made mistakes are correct. I don't agree that he's a blatant liar or a terrible human, in fact I think he's very good hearted. A lot of his supporters I think are more a product of rebelling against his opposition. I'd probably be a lot more open about criticizing him if there weren't people in this country praying for his demise. Similar to the death penalty. I really don't care, but I simply can't be grouped in with the leftist whackos, so i generally support the pro-death penalty stance.

yeah, i know what you mean, when you look deeper at either party, it's like.....ok, your first three or four points made sense, but what does getting rid of all the guns and nightclubs have to do with protecting historical sites? both groups I think are pretty much full of whackos, both groups scare me equally when I think about what would happen if they took over.

That's the other thing. Why can't I be pro death penalty sometimes for some cases, but not others? Sometimes I think it fits, sometimes I don't, but I would pretty much get kicked out of either party for stating that.
