As a life long democrat who favors abortion rights, affirmative action, gay marriages, stem cell research, universal healthcare, welfare to the needy, and pretty much the rest of the liberal agenda, it is hard for me to say this, but after listening to W. last night, I am more convinced than ever that he is the right man , at the right time, to lead the world against those who seek our destrucution.
The president understands the fundamental threat that Arab/Muslim terrorists pose to our world and that no matter what the cost, we must defeat them in order to survive. I was impressed with his sincerity, honesty, and most of all determination to protect the world from maniacal leaders/groups like Saddam and Al Queda and their kind.
Sadly, my party (democratic) seems more interested in playing politics and scoring political points instead of supporting the president on the war on terror. We are at a time in history when either we, freedom loving people, must prevail over the dark forces of Arab/Muslim terror or we may very well face extinction. I for one, would rahter have Bush, with all his faults lead us against these tyrannical forces rather than those who simply do not have the will or fail to recognize the danger we as a nation face.
God bless you president Bush!!!

well what are the Democrats supposed to do in an election year, endorse the guy that they are supposedly trying to boot out of office? It would be political suicide for Kerry's camp to come out and say, "You got to hand it to this guy(Bush), he's really doing a great job in Iraq."?!
I still don't understand why you think so highly of W's efforts? I not pro-democrat or anti-republican, but the way I see it, when the president challenged Iraqi militants last summer with the now-famous taunt "bring 'em on," he betrayed a fundamental lack of understanding of the horror of war in general and the incredible complexity of the situation in Iraq.
Further, instead of behaving as though he is responsible, as commander in chief, for the life of every man and woman who is sent into combat, Mr. Bush has behaved on more than one occasion as though he's at the controls of a video game. IMO, he does not appear to be taking this great tragedy as seriously as he should.
Last week was one of the most lethal times of this so called war and Bush is at his ranch on vacation. Uh, Mr. President, there's a war going on. You may want to go back to Washington?
Finally, I find it ironic that the Bush camp's excuses for why we did or didn't act on obvious intelligence warnings of Al Queda activity (it was historical, we didn't have names or addresses, we had systemic and structual impediemnets that prevented the CIA and FBI from sharing, it was inconclusive evidence) did not bother the Bush team when they had inconclusive intelligence on Iraq when it wanted to be "actionable" or engage in "tit for tat with Sadaam.
Anyway, this is not meant to flame any Republicans or side with Democrats, so please don't waste your time with personal attacks. I'm just making personal assesments of the facts at hand.

Mikey, during the height of Viet Nam, LBJ would sit over maps of the places at 3AM swilling booze & trying to plan war strategies. I'm not happy with how Iraq has gone lately but it should be left to the pros on a day-to-day basis. I'm glad Joshy has seen the light. FLA is supporting the Prez by a wide margin so far this year. |

Glennie,
I agree 100%. However, the President sets policy and agenda and for that I take issue with Bush. I think our military and administrators have done an unbelievable job. I support and pray for them.
I am not a kerry fan, but I think Bush's actions have inflamed the militant Muslims and renewed their hatred with America and have put us in a more perilous situation that we will unfortunately deal with in the future. I hope I am wrong. |

Renewed their hatred of America? It never stopped! Those people hate us & what I like about President Bush is that he takes the war back to them. If the rest of the world doesn't agree, tough shit. |

No you are not wrong Mikey. In fact, I just realized....Mr Bush is inflaming the Muslims on purpose.
Why? I got 2 words for ya....job security. Bush knows that his job depends on concentrating the public on his flag waving war on terror. If the war were to end too soon, and Mr Bush had to face tough questions about a struggling economy...he could very well lose his job.
But if he can strike his pose and keep fighting the good fight...he stands a pretty good chance of keeping his job. I mean, who can argue against fighting terror....even if we have provoked that terror? So the solution is keep fighting the good fight. Inflame muslim hatred, provoke attacks, keep the war going...at least for another 6 months.
Revenge and job security. Great reasons to get our servicemen and women killed. Great reasons to kill innocent Iraqis...along with the guilty ones. I think I'm gonna be sick.
I did not think it possible for my opinion of George W Bush to get any lower. I was wrong.

In the last 20 yrs only 700 patents have been issued to Muslim countries
In the last 20 yrs 15,000 patents have been issued to South Korea alone
The unemployment rate in Muslim countries is over 50%
There is nothing positive happening in the Arab world. Period
They hate us because they hate what the have and haven't

He looked weak last night and dodged every question posed to him. When asked about his greatest failure since 9-11, he should have said this press conference. But Kerry scares me also. |

I think Bush has actually escalated the terrorist threat, creating hundreds if not thousands of martyrs willing to take the place of Bin Laden. He should have listened to the UN and not moved forward with his "coalition of the willing".. what a joke that is.

I agree Some Guy. How about this exchange:
But one question for which Bush was evidently not prepared invited him to name his biggest mistake since 9/11.
"I wish you'd have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it," Bush joked before taking a long pause.
"I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn't yet."
Then came a meandering soliloquy that wandered from an affirmation of his decisions to invade Afghanistan (news - web sites) and Iraq to his firm belief that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) possessed weapons of mass destruction and the discovery of mustard gas on a turkey farm in Libya.
"I don't want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I'm confident I have. I just haven't -- you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one," Bush concluded.

Good point. He should be more like the UN and ignore
17 of its own resolutions and do nothing.
That will scare 'em! |

I happen to believe that we'll find out the truth on the weapons. That's why we've sent up the independent commission. I look forward to hearing the truth, exactly where they are. They could still be there. They could be hidden, like the 50 tons of mustard gas in a turkey farm.
