So you mean regime change has worked?

Of course Bush will be no credit.

BUSH STUCK HIS HAND IN A BEEHIVE OF A GROUP WHICH WAS LOCATED IN REMOTE ANFGHANISTAN. ATTACKED A COUNTRY WHICH DID NOT ATTACK US,SPENT TRILLIONS, OH ENOUGH OF CREDIT. IT'S LIKE REAGAN TAKING CREDIT FOR KNOCKING DOWN THE BERLIN WALL. WANT TO KNOW WHAT KNOCKED DOWN THE BERLIN WALL. AMERICAN TELEVISION. WHEN THEY SAW "DALLAS" AND HOW LIVING IN AMERICA WAS BETTER, THAT IS WHAT KNOCKED DOWN THE BERLIN WALL. IT'S LIKE BILL CLINTON SAID " IT'S NOT THE POWER OF AMERICA IT'S THE POWER OF EXAMPLE OF AMERICA"

Dubya has significantly hastened the end of American preeminence.

Mark R. said...

No, Jimmy Carter started any hastening of an American demise.

The most significant success of the Bush Presidency is the fact that the US had not been attacked since 9/11 on our shores. The hate that Rich and Terry have for our current President is the same as almost the entire left wing of this country. You are all irrational and incapable of seeing facts.

It is a fact that Al Queda has been weakend dramatically. Please tell us all Rich and Terry in which country were more Al Queda leaders and fighters killed Iraq or Afghanistan? Which conflict showed how brutal Al Queda is to the average follower of Islam?

Terry, you are so simple minded sometimes!

Sometimes things are that simple. While some like to support their own views and thoughts by watching FIX NEWS and Shame Hannity. Are we now saying the reason to invade Iraq was to show the Islam world how inhumane they are to their OWN. Thats reason number 2 million by now the repubs have come up with for invading a country which did not attack us. Will see how week they are when we leave.

To paraphrase Reagan, are you better of now or eight years ago? Bush has been the worst president of my lifetime - it's not even close. Jimmy Carter was far better (and he wasn't so good). Even Republicans will tell you "Bush Sucks!"

Try not to use 911 as an excuse for everything or the lack of a major attack as as major accomplishment. How many 911s did we have before Bush?

Jim G. said...

So, Terry, you must be of the thought that 9/11 was an expression of a small group of men rather than a war conducted against us by a large, extreme, segment of a huge religion? You must think if we were just nicer to them then they would like us and quit bombing and trying to kill us. You think the Spain and London attacks were just an outgrowth of this small group?

You think if we just turn our head and close our eyes, they will go away?

Terry, thank God President Bush had the courage to stand up to these madmen. You can sleep well and whine.

With the possibility of the next attack being nuclear, how casual to you expect our commander in chief to be?

Lastly, your party supported the war, plan and simple. The "O" gave a speech and threw spitballs, not yet in office. A profile in courage indeed!

Lastly, lastly, we are about to win. The "O" plan and the ongoing plan is mostly the same.
