Just curious, are you only interested in President Bush's domestic agenda? Where is your interest in his foreign policy?

Just a little suggestion.... you might want to update your freeper homepage. You almost sound like a Bushbot on yours.

Yes, way back when, I thought Bush was going to be a good President. I don't think so anymore. He's let the conservative part of our party down. As to his foreign policy, his battle against terrorism to keep it overseas is good. His leaving our borders wide open on both sides of our country contradicts this fight against terrorism. He is not letting (like Johnson did) our troops fight full-blown. He has shortchanged them on troops, and has them fighting a PC war where too often our own troops are put to blame for shooting/killing Iraqi's in the heat of battle, rather than putting the onus on those they fight. I just learned via Fox TV and other channels, that there are 7 steps are soldiers have to consider before pulling the trigger. Is that anyway to win a war? He is so invested in establishing democracy in Middle Eastern countries, that he immediately throws the concept into their lap and lets them make decisions (or allows them to not make decisions) rather than putting our U.S. foot down and forcing them to make the right moves so that democracy even has a chance to make a foothold. And our enemies know how to use democracy in order to destroy it. We enforced gov't on both Germany and Japan after WWII. None of this, ok, now you've got democracy, you tribal country, run with it. It's like Bush half gets it, and half doesn't. So, I half admire him on foreign policy, and half don't. There, now you know my analysis of his foreign policy.

I will disagree with you on shortchanging the troops. I believe he was going on the advice of his generals. Did you notice the generals changed and so did the advice? It is different than WWII, like it or not. We completely destroyed those countries and we had to rebuild them from the ground up. We are trying not to do that again.

Please do not compare him to LBJ and Viet Nam again. That is insulting to the troops.
