Bush was dealt a bad hand with 9/11

In 1941, a Democrat with falling polls was dealt a similar bad hand. He fixed the problem in three years and eight months. Why can't we?

I was thinking more of his predacessor actually fixing the problem when he took office. Lets see how many Liberals support the Harry Truman option for the Middle East?

OK so Bush is doing the best he can within the contraints of the government we got.

Because America then was still patriotic, united in the war effort and willing to sacrifice. The Government of course also took care this was so, by doing the usual wartime stuff, such as censorship, government controlled propaganda, the implementation of the draft and punishment of treason. In thost three years and eight months we lost almost 400,000 servicemen. We fought a total war by firebombing German and nuking Japanese cities indisrimantely. If you want the WoT to be finished faster, you should be willing to accept all the things mentioned above. I doubt the majority of Americans ever will be again.

That President could speak English. He could sit down and talk to the American people in fireside chats, sooth their anxieties and explain what the problems were and what we were going to do about them. This President can’t.

He had a press that didn’t spit on every move he made. Perhaps it was he was allied with Stalin and all the little commies wanted America to succeed. That’s not true anymore.
