    One thing Bush is good at - failures.

    After 4 years of wars nothing has been achieved. Tons of money wasted, thousands of lives lost and things are getting even worse with his wars. WHAT A WASTE FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD.:(
    Luckily he'll be in office max for 2 more years.
    If the Americans had the opportunity to fire him on the spot, he wouldn't be let go even pick up his belongings from his office.



    Bush administration seeks $245B for wars
    WASHINGTON - The Bush administration will ask for another $100 billion for military and diplomatic operations in Iraq and Afghanistan this year and seek $145 billion for 2008, a senior administration official said Friday. ..

    It's a staggeringly massive amount of money to waste. :(

    Just think about how much better it would be to spend that money on the country of the USA.

    Yeah, we should just submit and surrender like they do in the UK. Go ahead and let terrorists take over and just try to be nice to them and hope they won't chop off our heads.

    Ever wondered why they become terrorist? That huge amount of money can be use to cure the root cuase of the terrorism.

    "ONE MAN'S TERRORIST IS ANOTHER MAN'S FREEDOM FIGHTER" This is statement is true as ever.

    Yep, I've wondered. The quran is the reason. Money doesn't solve terrorism. The London bombers were not poor. One of them had just received a brand new Mercedes Benz from his father. So much for that myth.

    Incorrect. Terrorists do not fight for freedom, they fight in the cause of allah because it's the assured way to get virgins and it's what the religion is about. At not time, have I ever noted, that islam and especially terrorists have brought freedom. They work to suppress freedom.

    Due to these wars, the indian subcontinent was more or less stabilized as the jehadis (terrorists) waging war against india specifically through the kashmir region turned their attention more towards the US of A, there were less number to civillian attacks and overall there were a fewer skirmishes betweem the two countries.
    He might be an idiot for the americans , we love him here ;)

    Heh, yeah, another day and another moonbat proclaiming (as usual) that another post is the dumbest they've ever seen. It's become quite the cliche.

    What has alex jones told you to think today?

    If you intentionally target and kill unarmed women and children...you might be a terrorist.
    If you think heaven is 72 virgins...you might be a terrorist
    If you think strapping bombs to yourself is a nobel thing to do...you might be a terrorist
    If you think suicide gets you into heaven...you might be a terrorist

    If you're a moron, you might confuse such actions as "freedom fighting"

    We need to listen to the voice of reason.
    Staying to course of failures fits only a few who sell arms and make money out of it.

    Before the war on Iraq there much less USA haters araond the world.

    I don't consider terrorists a voice of reason (no implication towards you what-so-ever).

    Staying the course, inferred not retreating and surrendering. Tactics in the war do and have changed often, based upon the ever changing dynamics of war. "Stay the course" was never an accurate description and it's even less accurate the way liberals use it. As for who makes money on war, I don't see that as an issue. Haliburton was used often, with no-bid contracts during the Clinton administration where a number of very prominent democrats, including jawn carry, owned stock in.

    I disagree. They've simply become more vocal. However, this is what concerns most liberals. In general, they care less about our country or the soldiers fighting. All they care about is how they are perceived. The popularity contest. Please don't fall into that trap.

    If the coalition withdraw from Iraq, the country and the bordering areas around may give the terrorists a lot of free space for planning and executing global terror attacks, since the Iraqi army doesn't have the resources to combat national terror groups on their own.

    Hopefully, economic growth and decreased unemployment within Iraq could solve many of these problems in the future, so the coalition can leave faster.

    Governments, Organizations and Companies around the world could help Iraq with building up anti-terrorist forces and creating jobs in Iraq by making investments in Iraq's infrastructure.

    Very much agreed. And it's really a shame. Their hatred for a President has blinded them and while they typically lean left, they've pulled out all the stops to make sure everyone knows they are as biased and one-sided as can possibly be. Our enemies realize what a great weapon they have with our media and take every advantage of it.

    Fortunately, *real* Americans are letting them know exactly what they think with the bottom line. The treasonous NYT, LAT, WAPO and others are hanging on by the skin of their teeth and have paid (financially) dearly for the one-sided biased coverage they choose to spew.

    there might not be any students and teachers around...if we didn't fight back, how many more 9/11's could there have been? furthermore, we might be under radical islamic law right now, which is bad for many of us since we arn't muslim. You can also kiss Christianity and Israel goodbye.

    They are spending a lot of money on education in Iraq and Afghanistan. The problem is that we have this crazy idea that women should be educated to which doesn't sit with with the Islamofascists. They murder and destroy which then just ends up raising the cost of education.

    Wouldn't it be great if we could give those people an education and not have to also fund an army just to make sure they aren't murdered in the process of being educated?
