I will not get in a name calling contest with you. I'll dispute you on the facts.

Apparently, we are not doing enough in either Syria or Iran because insurgents continue to pour across the border from Syria and just today, we announced that explosives are coming from Iran. That may account for the increase in deaths of our troops by IED's in October.

You need to realize that if Bush continues to slide in the polls he will lose his effectiveness with our allies, with the American people, with the Republicans in Congress. He will also lose the fear of his enemies...that has started already. I've never seen more disrespect from the opposition party as demonstrated this week.

The media may be losing readership, but the Internet is picking up readership. Do you look at the Yahoo homepage, AP and Reuters, that's what people see.

Bush did reject the International Criminal Court but the Madrid case is an example of the legal jeopardy our soldiers face. I would have preferred that the ambassador remind our Spanish friends that the US has an American Service member Protection Act and will enforce it. Or advise them that we will increase economic, political, and diplomatic pressure on their government if they don't void the warrants. Promises of enduring friendship didn't cut it with me.

That's weakness. That's President Bush in November of 2005. I want it to change.

You mean the cooked BS polls by foreign polling companies that sample more Democrats than Republicans, thus skewing the polls???

"Apparently, we are not doing enough in either Syria or Iran because insurgents continue to pour across the border from Syria and just today, we announced that explosives are coming from Iran. That may account for the increase in deaths of our troops by IED's in October."

You say you are stating facts? What facts? Give me some facts to back up statements like "insurgents continue to pour across the border from Syria." How many? Is it more or less than one year ago? How many are Syrian? More importantly, is the Syrian government more or less stable today than it was one year ago? How about the Iranian government? Don't give me MSM talking points. Lets discuss actual facts.

"You need to realize that if Bush continues to slide in the polls he will lose his effectiveness with our allies, with the American people, with the Republicans in Congress."

And you need to give up your faith in phony media polls. Polls that weight democrats 50% and Republicans at 38%. If you believe these polls, you are quite literally ignorant. Educate yourself beyond the media storyline. If Bush made decisions based on phony media polls and popularity contests he'd be proclaiming the therapeutic wonders of cross dressing and the health benefits of late term abortions.

"I would have preferred that the ambassador remind our Spanish friends that the US has an American Service member Protection Act and will enforce it.

I think it is safe to say you know nothing about international diplomacy. What is said in public usually has nothing to do with what is stated in private.

"That's weakness. That's President Bush in November of 2005. I want it to change"

Again, you might call it name calling, but that does not change the fact that you are in many respects ignorant about what you are talking about. Bush hasn't changed. You are spending too much time listening to the media.
