I'd just like to know how Bush sends the military in with supposedly no body armor, and it only takes them 3 months each to take down the Taliban, and then another 3 months in Iraq to catch Saddam and people were complaining before it would take years. Now the only complaint is that it shouldn't have been done in the first place because Saddam appears to have changed his ways and he's a new dictator.
the whole issue before the elections was that bush went to
war with not enough resources and not enough man power.
all over the news are stories of soldiers needlessly killed because
of lack of vehicle armor, or a case such as this where only a dozen soldiers
were put in charge of guarding the munitions.
support our troops? i do support our troops.
i want them to come home alive.
Get better? If we left it it could mean more civilian deaths on her soil. I think the American people would have voted for Kerry if Bush did go the other way. Too bad we should never know for sure. We are all postulating of things that would of should of but didn't exist. You are all criticizing Bush after the fact before you knew anything. After 911 it is easy to say,.... Jesus, Bush shoulda saw that. Or after he takes out Saddam, Jesus Bush shoulda known Saddam was a truth teller through and through. Jesus Bush should know that terrorists would just kill us if we attacked them hard enough. Exactly. Bush knows if terrorists aren't attacked at all, they still plan to attack the US. That is unchanged.
What I'm saying is if you look at history. No president has had this type of thing go on during his office. If you think he is doing a poor job. He really needs some support right now, or you won't be helping his cause for the troops. I'm trying to reason with democrats, and find it really fascinating how they hold on to other country's beliefs before their own.
But to republicans it means something. I supported Clinton/America when he was reelected, I just thought he was a poor person with poor morals that wanted to do too much with too little time.
PVS, It might seem to you as a democrat that it is nonsense rhetoric, but what you do for the terrorists is suprising. They are happy we don't agree with each other. In that way, you may be endagering the lives of US citizens and the troops. If you aren't supporting our president at a time of huge civilian death, my goodness, when does a president need support? After 2 million deaths without provoking terrorists? 2817 is enough. Jesus Christ Almighty.
"other countries' beliefs"?
So what you are saying, correct me if I am wrong, is that everything that Bush believes is what all americans believe (or should believe)?
Also, many counties have different viewpoints of the war because we receive a broader report (and less biased) of what is going on around the world.
Also, you have inferred on more than one occasion that I do not support the troops. Blindly following your leader is not support. Concern that some 18 is guarding oil trucks for the wrong reason is support. Wanting them home and wishing them safety is support. I have not criticized soldiers or their following of orders once. I question those who give orders from affar with a seaming disregard for both life and political consequences/
I've said it before, what sounds like bull is usually the truth. Thanks. I've said it to people, and they usually say when something sounds like Bullshit, it is usually the truth. Not more than 48 hours ago did someone agree with me and he thought Kerry was a good man.
You do stand on the edge of every mistake the democratic campaign waged against Bush. It surprised alot of republicans that democrats took the position of other countries as soon as the campaign trail began. The strategy is so unoriginal.
By the way, not supporting Bush does not equate support of terrorism, that is a small minded philosophy.
In truth:
Russia went bankrupt (in part due to) fighting in afghanistan. It was a tactic employed by the Mujahidin known as a "slow bleed policy".
This tactic has also been emoployed by Osama Bin Laden against tthe United States. This plan was further accelerated by the war in Iraq. So basically Bush policy has fallen right into Osama's plan. Ergo, by your logic, it is infact the support of Bush that equates to the support of terrorism.
by demanding more armor for our troops, and wanting them to not be in any more danger than need be regardless i am for the terrorists.
by dispising bush for shortchanging the military and helping to arm the enemy, i am for the terrorists.
by closing my eyes, my ears, my mind, worshiping a president like an infallible god, not caring about the safety and welfare of our troops who are fighting and dying for us, and overall bleeting like a sheep...i am for america?
I saw that after 4 years of planning by Osama, the terrorists made the Dow drop 680 points or so, and now it exceeds the point at which it was falling. Yeah, almost made me flinch. I'm sending the government money through the Department of Education faster than they are asking for it, so blame me for staying on top of paying the government back for money they loan me.
