Like what?

"Capturing, trying, and hanging/executing Osama sounds great to the average American, but it would create alot of side-effects the average person doesn't consider"

I may not like you Bush apologists, but I gotta hand it to you - you certainly are creative in the ways you dance around admitting you are wrong.

Great stuff, indeed.
I never voted for Bush, nor do I think he is a good President. Just because I don't have a irrational hatred and foam at the mouth every time Bush's name is mentioned doesn't make me a Bush apologist.

No, it is your constant defense of his and his administration actions that make you one.

I can certainly understand how you might confuse defending the truth with defending Bush considering that the majority of your posts have not been truthful, as you are well aware.

What cannot be denied GWB is his political savy...he can tie the democrats in knots at will. He makes them look like the 3 Stooges...Moe Kennedy, Larry Reed and Curly Pelosi..and I'm sure they feel like stooges too....having that much power and it being ineffective..

As a businessman, I see Bush as a 'Closer' and as such, I see him presenting Osama to the Amerian people just to say 'the job is done'....its a military attitude thing.
He is a Commander in Chief and sees himself as the protector of this nation.

When Osama hangs things in the 'terrorist world will come to a quiet time...just like the death of the other Marxist hero, 'Che' Guervera.

It will give us some breathing time until their nukes fall on us....and Bill C. can play the saxaphone while DC burns...reminesient of a Nero playing the lyre as Rome burned.

His savvy or Karl Rove's?

And the fact that he may be doing something while acting like Texas's missing village idiot does take away from any possible saving grace.

It's funny how some folks admire left-wing actors pretending to know about politics, but have contempt for a politician with the ability to act.

As a businessman, I see Bush as an incompetent negotiator that can't close a deal to save his life. He tried that "Mission Accomplished" thing once, turned out to be a bit premature. Now he is going to leave his mess for the next President to clean up. And I don't know where you are getting this capture Osama thing from...Bush has said himself it doesn't matter if we get him or not, he is just one man.

Happens to be the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, but he is just one man.

An actor with talent can act with the ability to convince. Bush is a poor politician, also a poor actor.
What I've often wondered, exactly what is Bush's talent?
