well, Ive been watching the 9/11 commission talks on C-Span..(am I the only one who watches c-span AND powerlifts..?)..anyway, I was impressed last nite by the straight-forward manner the info was presented regarding what happened minute by minute the morning of 9-11. IMO, Bush, Rummy, Cheney, and Ashcroft are doing as good a job as possible under the circumstances, in SPITE of the fact that all the liberals are trying their best to politicize this issue for the upcoming election.
I put NO credence in the claims made by the likes of Al Gore, Howard Dean (give ME a break..DEAN????), Daschle, or Gephardt...theyre all politicians looking for a job. Tell, me, what was Bush to do? the was I see it, we did the right thing...
1) took out the taliban
2) infiltrated afghanistan
3) took out saddam
4) trying to help the iraqi people..again in SPITE of our liberals trying to derail everything along the way
again, IMO, what we seem to be doing is setting up some sort of presence over there in the mid-east, much like we did in germany post ww2. i would not be surprised if we dont end up leaving a goodly number over there...remember we are closing the germany base...to project our power to that part of the world--"Hey, we're right here if you decide to mess up" sorta thing. The fact of the matter is, there are alot of people in that part of the world that seek to do us terrible damage and we need to be there to stop them or harass them or whatever we can do. The USA is the only superpower in the world (save for China) that really has it all together and I agree with Bush, that as the only superpower we have the obligation to help others in need. We are the worlds #1 relief-donator...we give more food, money, manpower, and resources away than most of the other countries combined.
when youre #1..everybody wants a shot at you.
