QuoteWell, now don't be -too- shocked that I agree with GWB on this.
Afterall, it's kind of an obvious answer to the basic issues. I still can't figure out why this wasn't implemented on say . . . 9/12/2001.
I also agreed with GWB when he initially decided to go after OBL (then again, that too was kinda freekin' obvious).
Where we diverged from agreement was in his deviation from this initial goal.
For the same reason it wasn't implemented 15 years ago.
Kinda weird that you are agreeing with Bush and I'm being critical, huh?

He definitely is a lame-ass moron who can't be cured and most definitely has to be endured!!
I understand how he got the republican nomination in 2000 - his daddy bought it for him. Then he was assigned to us by the supreme court ,essentially, after all the hanging chads business.
But what I really don't understand is how he got elected by this country for a second term - and I've pretty much voted republican since I cast my first vote for Reagan! Heck, I voted for his dad!!
But Jr. was/is so clearly not equal to the task.
The only thing I can figure is between the people who are afraid of Osama, and the people who are anti-abortion and who think that is the only issue they care about (and I am not pro-abortion per se, but I know it's not the only issue to consider), the knucklehead still flies around in Air Force One.
Sweet baby Jesus give me the grace to endure!
I did see a funny billboard that said "Will somebody please give him a blow-job already so he can be impeached!"

Nice... now make sure you check all those off your "Democratic talking points" sheet, m'kay?
You did forget the "selected not elected" and "nobody died when Clinton lied" ones, however.

Where am I making apologies? I'm merely popping a few more bubbles, since people seem to think there's some sort of difference between the two main parties.
Oh, that's right, I forgot the point that "not hating the Republicans and everything they do" = "apologizing".
So, since you're "moderate", I'm sure you'll fill us in on a list of things that the current administration has done right?

They went to Afghanistan to go after the people responsible for 9/11.
They got the whole world behind us for a little while to help on the war on terror.
They are doing a half assed job which is more of a smoke screen with immigration but its a start in the right direction.
Beyond that the incompetence is pretty much all they can do.. since they even fucked up their above success.
AS a moderate.. I find it appalling there are still so many of you right wingers who will do anything and say anything to shore up your little Shrub.. no matter how much of a disgrace he is to our country in the eyes of the whole world.

Well, if these sources are the (American) links you provided, I am not surprised.
I read at least two local newspapers every day. In addition to local news programs, I also watch at least one of Sky's or BBC's news casts every day. I see factual, unbiased reporting - pretty much as reflected by the views and opinions of the more reasonable folk on this forum.

Ah yes.. those would be his several apologists that think he can do no wrong and get their FAIR AND BALANCED talking points every day from our very own American version of Pravda.
Here are some others..

Anti-war sentiment and disapproval of President Bush's international policies continue to erode America's image among the publics of its allies. U.S. favorability ratings have plummeted in the past six months in countries actively opposing war France, Germany and Russia as well as in countries that are part of the "coalition of the willing." In Great Britain, favorable views of the U.S. have declined from 75% to 48% since mid-2002.
In Poland, positive views of the U.S. have fallen to 50% from nearly 80% six months ago; in Italy, the proportion of respondents holding favorable views of the United States has declined by half over the same period (from 70% to 34%). In Spain, fewer than one-in-five (14%) have a favorable opinion of the United States. Views of the U.S. in Russia, which had taken a dramatically positive turn after Sept. 11, 2001, are now more negative than they were prior to the terrorist attacks.
Among possible coalition countries, majorities oppose joining the U.S. to take action against Iraq to end Saddam Hussein's rule. Even in Great Britain, a 51% majority opposes war. Among the unwilling allies, there is also virtually no potential support for a U.S.- led military effort

Why Erroll my dear.. havent you heard.... even our illustrious president who has divided our country so effectively said.... " You are either with us or you are against us"
All dissent is against him. There is no middle ground in this country anymore.
So I guess you fall in with the Far Right.
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
