Two years after George W. Bush was elected, he had fulfilled his major campaign pledges, and freed Afghanistan from the Taliban, and made significant inroads in the war on terror.
Were you not paying attention before he was elected, or after? Because making that decision 2 years after he was elected makes no logical sense whatsoever.
(btw, 2 years after he was elected, he had about 95% approval ratings among Republicans. Are you a Democrat?)
Hmmmmm......'starting a war?' Are you ignorant of the history of Iraq? Are you unaware that we were already at war with Iraq? And are you unaware that Saddam Hussein had STARTED that war?
Minor point here, but you are also wrong about 'directly.' Invading Iraq and deposing Saddam Hussein was indeed directly related to homeland security............that is, unless you believe the MSM propaganda??

Hilarious - I saw 1 minute of The Today Show this morning and it was Chris Matthew lecturing all of America how "Bush can Rebound" in his second term. He basically said Bush should fire everyone around him. I love how a crazy, partisan Democrat is telling Bush how "he can rebound."
What world does this guy live in? Has he noticed the remarkable economy? 3 successful Iraqi elections? No terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11?
One important point - I know a lot of people, including myself, who really don't like Bush. But when the alternative are these psychotic, crazy liberals who gave us Jimmy Carter, then we have no choice but to defend Bush. So, by constantly attacking the President, I think it really INCREASES his support among people who normally wouldn't put their neck on the line to defend him. Just my opinion.
After reading the entire article, all I can say is duh...
This guy 'gets it' with Bush.
Especially the part about the eastern liberals and their anti-Bush agenda.
And I especially liked the last paragraph.
So, if Kerry got elected things would be all rosy and comfy??? By helping Iran get nuclear materials, pulling out of Iraq early and experiencing terrorist acts on US soil??? With our taxes going up and our economy going down???

You failed the test.
The question directed to you was: "What Presidential candidate campaigned in 2004 on closing our borders?"
And now you're confused because of that question...it wrecks your tiny little worldview...you can't answer it.
You have to run from that question because to answer it would be to admit that no one cared about our "borders" as recently as 2004.
No doubt you'll continue to run from that question. You have to flee from it because that question exposes *reality*, something that gets in the way of your agenda.

"The one argument I find most entertaining is that he is doing all this for the good of the US. Of course he is. That is what makes his approach so credible and self-sustaining. He has been elected by Americans to further their interests and thats what he is doing."
BINGO! If we want what is in our WORST interests, then we'd vote Democrat!
Ain't THAT the truth! We have to look to foreign press for pragmatism, all we have at home is backstabbing.
Their knives are dull from all the cutting. :(
I'm happy to read some good stuff about the President on FreeRepublic. Sure would be nice to see more of it. Thanx for posting this article.
Here is another nice article about Bush from the Indian media:

More good stuff. Thanx for the link.
Amazing article by a first-cass mind.....Pres. Bush will be rightly seen as a visionary leader when history is written in the future.
Your recommended article still has many of the characteristics of bad writing (journalism), in that one has to read the entire article to find out what the writer has to say -- and in the typical mainstream press, they have absolutely nothing to say -- and have wasted one's time, dulling and prejudicing the mind in this way to have low expectations for every other subsequent encounter and exposure to the futility of thinking there may be intelligent life in the universe.
What is striking about the piece which is the topic of this thread, is that one knows what the writer is saying from the first sentence and every sentence, word, and even the space between the lines. This kind of masterful clarity of intent and purpose thus becomes the prototype for every other interaction we have with others -- assuring us that there is intelligence at work, even if we don't have to create it ourselves. That is the benchmark for the rest of our day, the rest of our lives.
Contrast that with the typical first exposure to the world in opening the newspaper every morning to see the uninspiring parade of the mentality of US journalists telling us how much smarter they are than everybody else (including and especially the President), while showing no concrete proof of that in their thoughts -- but rather, leading us to think that at the local newspapers, the staff spends the first hour throwing up in the bathrooms just looking at one another and saying, "I'm not one of these losers," and then, distracting themselves in thinking over which team they're going to sign up for in today's highlight event of the "Farting Wars," that is the highlight of their every day at the office.
A little googling reveals, as I suspected, that MphasiS thrives on the outsourcing of business, not only from the U.S., but also in UK, Japan and China.
Latest report is that Texas-based EDS has offered to buy MphasiS.
