Everybody wonders why I have given up on George W. Bush. Well this ( the above article )is why. Our civilization faces the first real threat we have ever faced from without. We, this nation, were never in any great danger in any previous war. The oceans protecting us where too wide and we were too strong to be directly attacked. Pearl Harbour was the best they could ever do.

Now globe trotting terrorists with nuclear and biological weapons can kill millions of us and cripple our economy.

This is not a far fetched or even remote possibility. It is real and it is now.

Does our president go before the people and explain that we must curtail Middle Eastern immigration and call on all law enforcement agencies to bring in all illegals?

No.

Do we call for a draft and then prosecute a true war on our enemies who daily threaten to ruin our lives?

No.

Does he blatanly stand up to the rest of the world and actually mean it when he mouths slogans like "You are either with us or you are with the terrorists." Does he explain to them that the leading nation on this planet will NEVER FORGET if our so called allies do not do EVERYTHING in their power to come to our aid or at least get the hell out of our way?

No.

Not only all this but he goes about passing most of the lefts wish list of legislation for them.

The conservative world needs to stop this BS Bush butt kissing and ROAR their outraged horror at the actions of this weak kneed poser George W. Bush .... or this nation is going down.

We shall be reduced to a second rate Europe in a few years. No longer the land of opportunity. Just another powerless member of the ineffectual West. Drowned in its own political correctness. Reduced to a shadow of it's former self.

But then .... that IS what the globalists want ... is it not?

Stop your whinning. You have no idea what Bush is planning to do. I am sure it isn't to start panic and fear. Grow up!

The adults are in charge now not Gore and impeached!

Go back to my comments to you the last couple of days.

All I can say is thank God George Bush is in charge instead of Bill Clinton and instead of you.

After the war is over, you can buy me dinner.

GW has put this ship of state on a new tack and we will get where you want us to go, but it takes a bit for the crew to figure it out and come around to his way of thinking.

Maybe you figure that this country has been so decimated by liberal indoctrination that such a fight is not possible, perhaps you are right, however I believe when the next attack takes out ten times as many, the people will rise in anger, not at George Bush but at muslems around the county. Then you will see a locked border, and perhaps internment camps too, for their own safety.

This cruise has a lot of miles to go, got your kit squared away?

Please, get a grip on the hyperbole. This article is just more Arab blustering, something they do quite readily and with great emotion. So what? I recall the Taliban leaders on Arab TV claiming that Afghanistan would be 'America's graveyard'. Five weeks later, the Taliban were hiding in caves and running for the border. Talk is easy but military might is deadly and we have the military might to destroy all of the tin-pot mid-east dictatorships, should we need to. We won't. A few selected countries will do the job as even Muslim fanatics recognize that all the bluster is meaningless whn the bombs are falling on your house.

America is the richest, freest and most militarily powerful nation on the face of the earth. Some Muslim fanatics with powerful weapons and a death wish are not going to defeat us, although they certainly can harm us.
We cannot deport every Arab or make every single structure bomb-proof and our very freedom gives the terrorists some advantage in their attack plans. That's understood and won't change.

Bush is not Clinton, try as some do to portray him that way when he doesn't start threatening to nuke anyone who threatens us. The president and the administration are very well aware of the threat to our nation, they are acting on those threats and Bush has warned (in his recent West Point speech) of U.S. premptive strikes against our enemies, and we know who they are.

Talk of the Muslims turning America into a third-world country is rubbish and just overheated anti-Bush hyperbole, as empty (and useless) as some of the terrorist threats. Criticism of the president is valid, 'giving up' on him is certainly your perogative and if you wish to play Chicken Little, be our guest, but don't expect serious attention when you make hysterical claims and accusations against the president and attempt to make the Muslim terrorists 10 feet tall. They are not, but America is and an American citizenry that is roused and angry - which another attack guarantees - will not be cowed, threatened or intimidated, much less defeated. Count on it.

You appear scared. When Saddam threatened a "mother of all battles" I'd suspect you were scared then, too.

Last September Bush spoke honestly about the threat; he said the war would take a long time, would be complicated, involving many fronts.

But some arab website states what many have feared, and "mercy" goes off the deepend in a fit of fear.

The American Revolution, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Cold War, Vietnam ALL LASTED YEARS. I'm sure a few months into each, many gave up hope, criticized the leaders and generals, and were consumed with fear, as "mercy" seems to be.

BTW what about your numbered list, requested many posts back? You are full of fitful lashing out, whining "the sky is falling, the sky is falling." What DO YOU propose? Leave aside you criticism of what isn't being done. List what YOU PROPOSE.
