Right. Bush should take the official position that Islam is a religion of hate. Incredible.
JeffAltanta is the perfect example of the hysteria on these boards fueled by the belief that any viewpoint differing their own is therefore a "LIE!" or "SPIN".
Pathetic.
I would only bother to argue the last ‘spin’ point, since the others I agree with to some degree. President Bush has done us a great favor by not making the war on terror a crusade. It is the only way some form of eventual peace is even plausible.
As for people who continue to defend President Bush on this issue, I noticed your comment regarding the formation of ICE in post #518. I worked on a Customs contract in 2002 and saw what a bungled mess it was going to be when it was decided that the DHS was going to be formed. I think people who have seen our bureauracy in action and up close might have a little more sympathy for President Bush.
The number of processes, departments, people, and systems (computer) that are intertwined in solving this mess are incredible. It is extremely complicated. I won’t argue about progress on the boarder, this needs to get done, but the rest of it? I dare anyone to prove there’s an easy solution.
