Wars stimulate the economy, which means your argument actually supports the OP question...
out of all the callous things I have seen you post over time, this has to be the most callous and least thought out. war stimulates the economy tell that to all the families that had children die in that war. tell that to the vets who strap on prosthetics, or sit in a wheel chair, or have no legs or missing an arm.
take a look at the frickin' checkbook used to pay/borrow for an ill thought out, ego driven fool hearty fiasco.
Make them a civilized nation that doesn't execute religious converts, children and wives suspected of infidelity?
The world felt sorry for Afghanistan and bought them a soccer field which they immediately decided to use for public executions. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
We should have simply killed every member of Al Qaeda in that country, left and then repeated the process as needed. Same with Iraq. Once Hussein and his brats were dead, we should have washed our hand of it. If the rest of the world wants Iraqi oil, let them be the occupying force that keeps these tards in line.
So what if the US were attacked by chemical weapons originating from Iraq while the inspectors finished their job?
How many Americans would you consider an acceptable loss to provide Hussein time to comply?
More of the same Monday morning quarterbacking from someone who wasn't responsible for the safety of an entire nation.
Afghanistan is where our threat was, not Iraq, we needed to keep our focus on Afghanistan and hunt down the Taliban and Al Qaeda, we did not do that. We took our focus off of Afghanistan, off of those responsible for attacking us on 9/11, off of those who were our real threat, and focused it elsewhere where it wasn't.
This is a joke right? No one who lived during the Bush years could think there was low job growth.. Are you in your early 20's where you werent around at the time?
He encouraged a housing bust by talking about the fact people should be home owners? Tell me what president hasnt done that?
I note you havent listed ONE thing Bush did either through all of this babble..
1.080 million jobs were added when Bush was in office. The LOWEST for any President since the stats were kept in 1939. Lower than every other two term President, Lower than every President that did not serve two full terms, Lower than the Presidents who only served one term, Lower than any President who only served one term. WORST job record.
NO IMHO Clinton started the downward sprial. He wanted open borders & he sold out our manufacturing to the Chinese. Bush didn't close the border but that is because the Democrats would have eaten him alive on that one..........
I dont think anyone is to blame.. Recessions take place, even depressions.. Its an economic cycle. I find the liberals needing someone to blame for a natural cycle humorous..
Was this one harder than most cycles, of course, but with 911, 2 wars, and numerous other activities taking place, I would have been surprised if it wasnt a bad recession. But that doesnt mean its not a natural occurance.
Heck, I waited for years waiting for the housing market to collapse so I can pickup a new home at a song.. Even fought with the gf over the timing because all of her idiot relatives were out buying homes over priced for more than they could afford.
Why am I not surprised at the arrogance and complete lack of humanity in your position. Your lack of charity toward your gf's kin is also a character trait of smug conservatives. As for your thinking that it's only Liberals that have painted a target on someone... ... nuts to that.
No no presdient is responsible fopr the problem. The fault goes down to mainstreet in the end. What risk people are willign to take in the end the buck stops at the individual really. The problem is too mnay and iot effects everyone. Wall street acted on what we wantedlookig at Fannie and freddies aims and results.If the governamnt acts that way priavte industry will follow or amny will disappear. Madoow is a example of what was happening. Too good to be true and was. The SEC if it had simply chacked if he was investing would ahve had it looking them in the face but they didn't even after being warned.Presidents;congresss;wall street and main streetwanted for example a way that those who could afford to buy housing a house and wall street came up ewith a way as long as the market kept gpoing up following fannie and freddie on this.Its the old everyonhe is going to gain wealth of the 20's stock market.

We took our focus off of Afghanistan, off of those responsible for attacking us on 9/11, off of those who were our real threat, and focused it elsewhere where it wasn't.
So if we are successful in Afghanistan Islamic terrorism will be a thing of the past?
Do you seriously believe that?
We went to Iraq because that's where the nerve gas was believed to be.
Should we have waited until more American were killed before we acted?
Clinton's way of doing business, to include a 25% attrition rate at CIA, got us 9/11. Would you do the same to promote your election year propaganda?
