Hijacked? What is this a Bush can do wrong thread? This is about his speech tonite, I saw no disclaimers that all posts had to be in utter total agreement or have nothing but praise and adulation for it.
Personally with it being 9-11, I was hoping for a lot more but my gut told me it would be more of the same-o, same-o, I've heard it all before in his other speeches on the WOT. Sorry but my definition of a 'great' speech just differs. I'm used to getting my inspiration from Reagan's speeches.
I wouldn't have even been bothered to say anything at all if that 'extremists' language didn't irk me so much. I don't understand why Bush should be more concerned about Muslim groups who seemed more offended by what he says than by what these fascists are doing in the name of THEIR so-called 'peaceful' religion.
As yet I have yet to see or understand why a moderate Muslim who obviously can see who we're dealing with would be offended by the term Islamic-fascists?
For cryin' out loud. Many of us on this thread have explained the lack of wisdom, and merit, in President Bush hypothetically making statements condemning all Muslims.
Who said he was concerned about CAIR, except you? No one. No one on this thread. It is not about CAIR or what they think and say. It is about winning the WOT using all tools and means necessary, including working with Muslim nations and people who would like to see democracies exist and prosper. Honestly, why is that hard to understand?
Are you offended by the term "Bible-thumper"? How about "Right-Wing Zealot"?
