I can guarantee that he will be a one-term President if he makes this mistake.

LOL, better call the White House!

Even if it were true, I don't think GWB would give the 2004 re-election a moments thought as he made the decision to attack or not.

Have a good evening.

What a load of Vanity and crap.

If Brian_Baldwin keeps making over reactive titles to articles no one will read them. Including myself. I did not read your article However I feel i can respond to your title...... ARE YOU FREAKING JOKING????? Attack or don't attack ... has bush shown any hesidency to using force? NO.... Are you privy to all the intell he has? NO. What if we have something cooking on the inside.... do you want to bomb them along with the others? NO.... Bush has a clearer idea than any of us what is at stake. Most of all what is the best card to play and when. So far he has played a near flawless game.

What you and the conservative talk show people are missing is the fact that our military is totally un prepared to fight a war with Iraq or anyone else at this time. Why do you think that the majority of our Reserve forces are on active duty today??

Our little fight in Afganistan was the last we had left.

Thanks to Clinton and eight years of social programs and money transfers away from the military and defense. Our ships are way out of maintenance. Our aircraft are long undermaintenanced. Our Army is poorly provisioned. Our sheer numbers of trained personel are very low. We need 150 to 200 thousand well trained and well supplied troops to take out Iraq by ourselves.

Bush needs to do two things.

One - Get a House and Senate majority in his party. Critical for him and the nation. Until then he is giving nothing to the Dimocrats and he is taking everything away from them in the process.

Two - Rebuild our military to fight a full blown war on at least two fronts simultaneously. He has to do this assuming he will have little to no help from our allies in taking out Iraq. Our only viable option in war today is to go right to nuclear weapons. Not necessary with a little time and a lot of money.

Nobody seems to see this, especially the radio talk show people. Everyone wants him to stand up and thump his chest. Why put your enemy on notice that you are going to make war on him? This ain't the movies. If you believe the posturing, the nonsense with our fliping and floping on Israel then Bush is doing a good job. Powell is a perfect foil. Bush the second is one sneaky fellow.

Bush the second will avenge his fathers mistake. Bush the second is going to put us into a war that will require the draft and every spare dime we can print. But that war won't begin for another year.

You read it here first.

"Shadow in the fire of the right wing," eh?

"Street-fighters of the right?" Kewl! Where, pray, was your last street-fight? Missed it on Fox I guess.

Have a seat, BigGuy, you've scared GW enough for one night.

[RightWhale]

Bush wouldn't be worrying about re-election. If he gets a second term, then fine. He has a 4-year job and will do the best he can, which is pretty good.

[flamefront]

If Bush does not attack Iraq before 2004 his a One-Term President
... and he'd certainly not be qualified to be called a 'cowboy.'

[CyberAnt]

Puhleeeeeze! Give it up already!

[danmar]

...paisano, chill, take a deep breath count to ten and look at the big picture if you can.
Prez Bush is not Clinton...he is his own man, he is doing what is "RIGHT" for America, not what is right for his own political gain. So what is he going to be one termer(as you stated), as long he is doing the right thing for the country?...what's wrong with that!

[tallhappy]

Yo dude, say something valuable like who's winning in the third tommorow at Aqueduct.

[brat]

The grass roots are angry, but not about Iraq! It's the Immigration policys, and all those bills he signs that he should veto etc. If he loses, it will be because of THAT. He has a golden opportunity with people leaving the RATS in droves if he listens to the people for a change. I doubt he will.

[AmericaUnited]

So who will you be voting for in 2004, Hitlery, Gore, Edwards or Dashle?

I'm sick and tired of you "pefectionist idiots" giving us scum like Clinton. Someone posted all of the good things that occurred since Bush got into office and the list was impressive. It's so easy to forget how bad it was under Scumbad x42. But it's easy to focus on and throw temper tantrums (like you're doing) on all of the things we don't like under x43. Those of you .00000001% percenters who are waiting for the "great conservative messiah" to come along, it will never be good enough. You'll forever be angry, bitter, complaining.

"However, there is very evident reason to believe that the US intelligence and military is arguing for such a war..."

Interesting,given recent "leaks" from the military indicating the exact opposite.

Geez, another pointless hate-baiting screed.

I'll bet you talk to yourself in the bathroom mirror.
