It was the follow up to the 'his war' comment that irked me - Bush launched his war on terrorism in Afghanistan five months ago, toppling the Taliban regime that harbored Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda network, which the United States blames for the Sept. 11 attacks...

They are trying to blame GWB here but where the war is successful, GWB will actually get credit. But the implication that OBL and Al Qaeda are not responsible, only blamed, for 9-11. ABC is still trying to get us to understand the reasons why the terrorist had to attack us. They are a disgrace

"This nation will defend ourselves and freedom at any price," Bush told students at Eden Prairie High School'

Exactly how much is our life worth?

We must continue to defend ourselves at any price or DIE!!

He added: "People say, well how long is this going to last? And the answer is, for however long it takes to make sure America is secure. People say, well the hard part is over with, and my answer is no it's not -- we're just beginning."

Do you hear that Tommy Dasshole?

I saw his motorcade today while driving back from dropping my wife off at work, and missed the whole thing! I'll catch it on the news and see how it's aired. I wish I would have known he was going to be here. Yeah here in Minnesota, there are too many libs trying to get us all on public transit, and off of our snowmobiles. Bush however, is a great validation for every conservative in Minnesota. Except where immigration is concerned.

Yes, we may have Wellstone and Dayton and the DFL, but the state is more balanced than that.

Gore beat Bush by only 2% here.

Leave FR and you won't have to see the fundraiser info. Or, as soon as we send in what is necessary to keep this great forum going, you won't have to see them for another three months.

It is almost like a lib seeing something that he can just as easily ignore but has to whine about and say he is offended.

He added: "People say, well how long is this going to last? And the answer is, for however long it takes to make sure America is secure. People say, well the hard part is over with, and my answer is no it's not -- we're just beginning."

Better dead than shackled.

Hey Daschle...wake up you political parasite: "WE"RE JUST BEGINING"

It's a third the way done. They'll stop when they get to 100%. It's really not so bad, is it? Just one post per thread, scroll past. Or do you donate every time the message comes up? That would be appreciated no doubt.

Karen grew up in Highland Park, MN; a suburb of St. Paul. Her parents were ultra-liberal. We were engaged to be married in 1969 when Nixon was pres.... you should have heard the arguments! Karen's Dad was a HHH advocate and I was the Nixon fan from CO. The old man argued the typical socialism line, I argued free enterprise, entrepreneuialism, and capitalism. Anyway, Karen and I are still married for 30 years. Regards, and thanks for your thoughts. (Jesse V. is getting a little over the top though isn't he?).

[Cobra64]

In my opinion it's a frozen hellhole where your not allowed to make your own decisions.

Interesting.

Karen and I are retiring. I asked her if she'd like to go back to MN?

Her response, "Why the hell would you want to live in MN? It's colder than the arctic in winter, and hotter than hell in summer. The mosquitos are so large that they've been named the state bird!"

Good thing I asked the question, eh?

Regards

President Bush on Monday mourned the deaths of U.S. soldiers in the Afghan war but said the United States would defend itself "at any price."
"People say, well how long is this going to last? And the answer is, for however long it takes to make sure America is secure. People say, well the hard part is over with, and my answer is no it's not -- we're just beginning."

There's no turning our backs, on this war on terrorism.

Afghanistan was first field of battle were American soldiers have died, but it won't be the last. We're in it until we win it!

[Cobra64]

That ought to cause yet another bad case of Euro panty-bunching.

There is a great post (around 3 pm today) about the Euros criticizing America/Euros lacking guts in getting involved in the war on terrorism.

LOL !!!!

I can just imagine the arguments now !!! HHH, what a crooked politician --- tg he never was elected pres.

Luckily I grew up in a family where hard work & self-sufficiency was preached. Realized a few years ago, that the schools in the tc area were way too ultra liberal for me. Moved "up north" to a much better place to live and have NEVER regretted one minute.

Jesse is way out there, his liberal tendencies sure seem to be coming out lately. I just hope we can get the arrogant jerk voted out of office along with wart-head wellstone. You take care !!!!

[terilyn]

You're right that MN is ultra liberal. But, Eden Prairie is an affluent suburb and voted for Bush in 2000. They are also represented by the same Congressman that represents me. We're in the same district. Jim Ramstad (R). It's the teachers that are the liberals in Eden Prairie. Not the parents of the students! Ramstad took 68% of the vote in 2000.

And, Bush did get 46% of the vote in MN compared to Gore's 48%. We're working on it!

Agreed. The Coast Guard needs a lot of recruits. There are 17m freight containers offloaded on our shores every year. You would be amazed at what's in a lot of those containers. The only reason I know is because I used to buy 16,000 tons of steel, much of it imported. I got to know the customs agents... their stories of their observations are unbelievable!

I understand that we need some border patrol help on the Mexican border too.

So many opportunities.

Sounds like New York State. I was born and raised in New York City - Manhattan - very liberal. Moved to upstate New York and live in a largely Republican area. First thing, when Hillary Clinton was elected by liberal New York City, she stated that we should get rid of the Electoral College. Very dangerous move for Republicans and Conservatives. Never get rid of the Electoral College.

Translation=Bush hits Dacshle right between the eyes in one clean shot.

That's a good way to look at it.
