divided we fall... Come on get real don’t tell me you haven’t noticed that Michael Moore and the far left nuts launched an attack against Bush on his strengths and blame him for everything campaign starting shortly after 911... They could never led a Republican President succeed going on an offensive against terrorists my God that would just undo everything that the Progressive socialists were about... I mean with that kind of political capital and a united front at home... he could have had his ownership society and made FDR’s New Deal Nanny state a dinosaur. But I digress.. Al-Qaeda found thier alliance with our political left both of them in pursuit of making Bush fail in his efforts to stop a madman from doing to us exactly what UBL did to us... The debate should be framed as to how many American lives were saved because Bush acted and removed Saddam but the liberal media won’t have any of it. They want the impression of lied us into war, war for oil, war for profit, Haliburton, evil Republicans out to get poor miss Plame, corruption and that hypnosis has worked. Now the icing on the cake is the wedge of illegal immigration which turns the Republican base in on itself...
I mean Bush fixing illegal immigration with strictly Conservative measures i.e., Secure the Border then Enforce existing law. is like Bill Clinton, in the middle of the Monica affai,r going to the GOP controlled Congress and pressing to write a law that overturns Roe V Wade. The left would have destroyed itself.
The conduct of the war was superb, up until the Iraq invasion. Al Quaeda pulled off 9/11 ... and bang! The U.S. went to their camp in Afghanistan, allied with their enemies, overthrew their Taliban protectors and started rounding them up and sending them to Gitmo. (Should have lined them up and shot them, but you can’t have everything.)
And then Iraq. Why — was Saddam either an Al-Quaeda or a Taliban? He was just a lousy Baathist dictator slowly losing his grip on power. Was he even a serious threat to the U.S.? And then, after “liberating” Iraq, we can’t pacify the place and get out, even after four years.
Like James Bond turning into Inspector Clouseau ...
(And don’t even mention the immigration bill ... aarrgh!)
