"Cuz he's protecting us from terrorists!" cowboy
Bullshit!
The war in Iraq is not a war on terror.
We were not attacked by Iraq!
Saddam was not a imminent threat to the security of America.
Iraq had no connection to 9/11 or Al Qaeda.
There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Terrorism didn't exist in Iraq until Bush invaded.
The region is more vulnerable and chaotic. Terrorists are crossing the border into Iraq everyday.
Bush has taken the resources necessary to fight the real war on terror and diverted them and all of his attention into Iraq.
"Who cares, Saddam was a bad man, the world is better off without him!" Well I guess its time to invade Iran and N. Korea.
Bush needs foot soldiers, might as well initiate a draft.
I am 100% confident that John Kerry would NOT initiate the draft.
I cant say the same about Dubya.

Tex, I've respected you since we first met. This is one reason why. Cheers
Except for this: "Terrorism didn't exist in Iraq until Bush invaded."
you KNOW there were terrorists there. Just not the ones we were looking for at the time.
oh for christs sake, there are terrorists EVERYWHERE.
tim mcveigh ring a bell? he was a white american terrorist,
and im sure there are plenty more wackos like him in the u.s.
you cant attack a nation just because there is a minority population
of fundamentalist militant wackos, or we may as well go to war with
every nation on the planet, including ourselves.

'cept for the comment about there not being terrorism prior to Bush invading, I fully agree. 👆
There's terrorism everywhere, like PVS said, there are terrorists in the US who are American.
Yes, I agree that Saddam needed to be taken out of power. But Bush went about it the wrong way, invading a country on pretenses that there could be WMDs there (which there wasn't). Like Kerry reminded him during one of the debates, he was supposed to be after Bin Laden, not Saddam.
I HIGHLY doubt Kerry would reinstate the draft because he was drafted. Bush hid out in the National Guard, so to him it probably doesn't seem like a big deal. But I'll tell you one thing -- right now all we'll hear about this is just rumor. Neither of them would dare say something about the draft now because it would be political suicide.
My personal view on Kerry is that he is finger pointing and making promises about changes. That's it! He is the typical #1 contender in a race to be president. I sick of promises what I want is changes and Kerry isn't bringing anything new on the table. Is the same "Bush is doing this" or "Bush is doing that". Really Kerry? You think we don't know? Of course we are aware of what Bush is doing.
As for the draft thing. I like to know on what do ppl base their ideas that Kerry won't reinstate the draft? If the war continues there might a huge chance for draft. Electing Kerry doesn't mean that all wars will stop! There still be wars to be fought. Kerry himself supported the war so do you people think he is going to stop it the minute he becomes president? He is going to have to continue the re-building of Iraq. Re-build Iraq is a hard task and it will take years to get it to run like a democratic nation. No way Bush or Kerry or whoever will be able to fix Iraq during their current term on office. Is going to be a loooong time till we finally see Iraq turn into a democratic nation. So I ask again why do people think Kerry will NOT start a draft?
Kerry makes claims that he'll significantly decrease the number of troops that are currently in Iraq.
But he doesn't explain how he plans to do so. He doesn't have a specific plan, he's just hoping that as long as it's someone other than GW Bush in the office....everyone will leave him alone.
Kerry is going to be under more fire from Terrorists than Bush ever was because we atleast know what kind of leader Bush is. Some specialists feel that if Kerry is in office, terrorists will be a greater threat to the nation because they think terrorists will see him as a weak leader.
I guess I didn't make it too clear after re-reading it.
According to some specialists, in a CNN article, they feel that because no one is truly sure how Kerry plans to spearhead his attack on terrorism....they feel that terrorists will be more likely to test Kerry to see what they can get away with, than they would be with Bush because they currently know what they can and can't get away with.
Kind of like having a substitute teacher. you know to behave when the real teacher's in class, but when she's sick, and the sub is here....all hell breaks lose.
Granted, this is only some people's views. I personally, will still be voting for Kerry because I believe the best thing for the US at this point is change.

just goes to show you how much faith people actually have in politicians, regardless of how politically motivated or biased they are.
Doesn't suprise me, Bill O Reilly is trying to make out what is real in each candidate because the parties are heated up. He always wanted Bush to explain himself, and he also believed the California power crisis was due to poor state power policies that forced buying from other states. I like watching the guy, I just need to get cable tv. 🙂 (i got fast internet, one thing at a time though)

I don't ask for proof. I was just asking if you knew that for a fact. I don't go around asking ppl for proof of anything. That's not my style.

proof would be the next logical step though, right?
after all, you shouldnt just take my word for it 😛
but seriously, if you really want to get down to it, i can't declare that i really KNOW anything for a fact in politics. the only way i experience government is through the media in one form or another, as most of us have no choice but to do...and who's to say it's not all a bunch of bullshit?
so i guess i know with absolute certainty...nothing.
oops...sorry for the philisophical tangent....anyway...
i believe so, based on this gentleman's testimonial.
Originally posted by WindDancerThat's true, Kerry spends more time making promises and attacking Bushes record, and doesn't say how he will pay for all his promises. In one of his speaches he say he will pay for it by rolling back Bushes tax cuts for the wealthiest americans, it's just ridiculous, and i'm not even rich and i'm upset.
