Just seems so easy for President Bush to be blamed for everything.
We didn't just get into this mess on 9/11. Lots was going on and the Democrats just appeased everyone and Bin Laden and others hated Bush Sr. and I believe planned this attack on 9/11 when we VOTED President Bush in.

I don't know what you are basing this opinion on, but it isn't true. I know someone who is his contemporary who has known him since *forever* (their fathers worked together and their families are friends) who is also a Republican in Washington who will tell you this is total BS. Intelligence and GWB have never even been introduced!

I've heard similar newsy stuff from friends who knew him in Texas.

And intelligence can be widely over-rated when hubris exceeds thoughts and moderation.

How many smart folks get into trouble? Too many to recount!

You are my archnemsis! This must be fate, we are on the opposite side of EVERY issue.
9/11 Was no American's fault. There were warnings, true, but I don't hold any of the administrations responsible. You might as well blame the passengers and pilots on the planes for not running into the ground. No one expected this.
And 9/11 has nothing to do with Iraq. Iraq, hold your breath now, is about oil. This president mislead the country and took us into war on misinformation. Thousands of Americans have died in this war because we were lied to by this administration. Who is responsible? The president.

Of course that would leave us with a Bush-Pelosi marriage!
I find Cheney scarier than anyone. I don't trust him at all. I think he's evil.

I'd love to see Pelosi and Bush on the Jerry Springer Show. I think she would take him down. He'd be the one raising his shirt up and down. She'd have him down in a minute and she'd be standing there with her spiked heel on his stomach waving the American flag.

I am not a Bush supporter, read my posts. But I am not naive enough to think that a politician lacks intelligence because his policies are disastrous.

Most recently, Barack Obama mentions this in his book and notes how scary it felt to realize the importance of checks and balances with such a leader.

If this could happen, I'd actually buy a television.

Can you elaborate? I'm missing what the "this."

Thanks!

Give Iraq the time to pull forward
Rather than looking at Iraq, why don't we look at the lesson we are showing them in Afghanistan?

What we are showing them there is that we are easily distracted, that we'll do a 1/2 way job then go on to the next "big thing" and they just can regroup and come back. Osama bin Laden? Who the heck is he? Is anyone even looking for him anymore? Have you heard that the Taliban is now helping the locals since we didn't?
