I disagree with George W. Bush saying in a nationally televised broadcast, "If you aren't with us, you're with the terrorists." This hurt the feelings of about 60% of New York citizens because they not only lost friends and family in the World Trade Center on 9/11, but they also opposed going to war with Iraq.

And what does that statement have to do with Iraq? Nothing. Bush was speaking about other nations assisting in the War on Terror shortly after 9/11. It's another way of saying "If you're not part of the solution you're part of problem." Except this time it actually applies to the situation at hand, whereas it's usually employed by liberals who want you to give them money.

It's meaning at the time was as clear as day, America was going to hold regimes which supported and sheltered terrorists accountable. And that, of course, engraged the left who wanted us to think about why we deserved 9/11.

No, this kook is saying that 60% of New Yorkers support the Terrorists who took down the World Trade Center!
