What is different with Bush?
1] Carter's Iranian ayatollahs, or Bush spending $300 billion in Iraq while having knowledge that the Iranians are sending in terrorists and Iran makes most of the IEDs that are killing our troops--Bush does nothing, and even allows Iran to go nuclear.
2] Carter's "Panama Canal lost" or Bush's "New Mexico, California and Arizona lost" to Mexicans?
3] Carter's prohibition on oil drilling or Bush's failure to restart nuclear power plants while we pay $3.00 a gallon for gas?
Bush is starting to make Carter look like a world leader.

And you want to take on Iran with 2-3 times the population of Iraq before we have secured Iraq? We need Iraq and Afghanistan flanking Iran in a more secure state before we take on Iran head on.
And no we won't wait for them to go nuclear. Bush didn't sell the Israelis an AWAC for nothing.
P.S. Iran is part of the secret even in success part of the WOT, fomenting rebellion against the mullah rule, etc.

Border control has been beefed up and Immigration Reform Bills are finally up for votes in Congress this term. You underestimate the power of the MSM in killing more meaningful reform before now.
I, too, am dumbfounded at how craven the Democrats have been on border security, but that is the treasonous bed they have elected to lie in. Yes, you are right that Bush is not passionate on this issue, but he wouldn't have been elected in the first place if he had been, and Gore would have been making the decisions.

Since when is Bush supposed to be a nuclear technician and able to walk into plants and throw the rods himself? First, you have to get litigation off the backs of the nuclear power plant owners so they can make a profit generating power with a nuclear plant. They have taken a bath trying to get into the nuclear energy field. My electric bill in California still shows up a charge of 53 cents every month for "nuclear decommissioning".
One of the first things Bush did in 2001 was the Energy Bill and parts of it were finally passed just a couple months ago, because he finally had enough votes in the Senate to eke it out. And he went out into the field in 2002 and bet his Presidency on getting more Republican Senators elected, so he could get judges and energy bills and other things passed.

Have no fear, history will be MUCH kinder to Dubya than to Jimmy.
