If you would’ve bothered to read what I said that right after 9/11, Bush should’ve given an ultimatum to the Taliban to give up bin-laden or get vaporized, none of this meshigas in iraq and afghanistan would have happened. Saddam Hussein would’ve fallen in line so fast just like that near miss airstrike at qaddafi duck in Libya during Reagan’s presidency. Qaddafi all of a sudden got religion and is acting like a nice boy since then. Again, nothing speaks louder than getting vaporized in an instant. The japs in ww2 learned that the hard way. Now, its those arabs turn.
you idiot with the long message,sure i’ll give you some sugestions for one, you call wiping out a nut case that gassed thousands of his pwn people a squander let me say that if bush would have been there to take out hitler before he wiped out most of the jews would that have been a squander as well? i suggest you look up some history and pray that bush or hopefully giliani will take out iran too and all the other butchers before we all wear burkes and have our heads cut off.
you know, at one time, i used to be extremely conservative in the 70’s & 80’s and now after a lot of reflection and experience, am not so sure. Yes, since 9/11, there has’nt been any attacks on the us from al-queada. but, who knows in the future? To this day, I’m still wondering how a rag-tag outfit like al-queada was able to do 9/11, when almost $50 billion is spent on our intelligence each year and no one caught the warning signs prior to 9/11? talk about wasted money!! if bush really wanted to wipe out al-geada and send a message to everyone else, he would’ve given an ultimatum to the taliban in afghanistan to give up bin-laden and al-qeada or get vaporized by a nuclear bomb. That would’ve solved all our terrorists problems for the next thousand years. Sure a lot of innocent people in afghanistan would’ve died, but is’nt that the nature of total war? what’s the point of having nuclear bombs if the us never uses it? So what does bush do instead? he goes into iraq and drags our economy and the dollar into der erd and wastes billions so that his buddies in the defense industry and big oil can make more billions and billions of dollars at the expense of everone else. This money should’ve been put to better use here domestically for more productive pursuits. Thats why we are in a tremendous debt situation totaling hundreds of billions of dollars. And because of this, there is now talk of replaceing the dollar with the euro for international monetary exchange. All thanks to that knucklehead, bush. i know i might sound like a flaming liberal, but can anyone tell me otherwise? i’m open to suggestions.
They hurt the economy of the shopping malls there by announcing this. How many people would not want to shop in those malls now?
Al Quaida might do this and do that and do this and do that…
Enough with the stupid talk.
Al Quedia are a bunch of idiots without toilets in their huts.
Instead of all this Bush-bashing, look at our economy; we did it all on our own! Look Al-Qaida, we don’t need your help!
50 years form now my grandchuildren will have to wear a gas mask in order to breath becausei nstead of allowing funding to go to hybrid cars and alternative fuel research the idiot republicans invested evertything in the arab oil millions in lining their own pockets.
wake up people.
the point is they can “terrorize” us with a simple threat. we go bannanas and freak out every time someone implies a story like this. that is pshat in being able to terrirze us. the us and none of those other countries were attacked prior to the attacks either.

Have there been any attacks in the last 7 years? Iraq, Spain, England…to name a few…have all been attacked by terrorists since 9/11 but we haven’t. I think he’s done a damn fine job.
