I am afraid the delay in rebuilding is indicative of how screwed up some of us have become. Instead of hitting the ground running and rebuilding...we stand around and debate about what we should do for years.
I had my problems with former President Bush but he will always have a great share of respect from me, because he and his administration took a deep breath and hit the enemy back hard without hesitation. That was no nonsense American leadership !!!!
I had my issues with Bush as well. That said he is an honorable man. But come september 12th 2001 afghanistan should have been a sea of glass. Instead we fought it half ass (our political leaders not our troops) with no definition of victory.
I’m sorry, but I don’t see where GWB hit back hard at anyone except conservatives in his own party.
