In the history of the United States we have never faced a threat like terrorism........I hate to say it but I truly believe that sooner or later we will face a huge terrorist biological or chemical attack that will kill millions.......I wonder if you UBL apologists will still feel the same about the terrorist scumbag........
Desperate times require desperate measures.......Whatever it takes to keep us safe I am for it...........
Dude, do you ever get it right?
I have not read anyone's posts that would qualify as "UBL apologists." I believe it is safe to say that all Americans are scared to death of the doomsday scenario, and that we are extremely vulnerable.
Sadly, our president, to me, is one of the major reasons we are in more danger today than we were on January 20, 2001 when he took office. Starting a war in Iraq, to me, is the single biggest reason we are now in more danger than any other time in our country's history.
I think virtually all Americans were / are pro the war in Afghanistan. It made sense. We were after our real enemies and we had to take them on. Then, Bush in what might go down as one of the very worst decisions in our history started a war against a phantom enemy.
To make a bad decision a disaster he pulls back our efforts in Afghanistan and against Al Quaeda to initiate a war against Saddam Hussein, the ball-less dictator in a country that posed no threat to Americans. He was contained, he had no weapons, and there was no tie to terrorists or terrorism.
Now we're all in grave, grave danger, especially me and my family who live here in Manhattan.
Navy Pride you claim I hate Bush. Well I think in this one instance you are right! I do hate the imminent danger that he has put me and my family in. I have a 15 year old son and it scares the $hit out of me to think that he will be on the subway one day coming home from school when we're attacked.
I don't know if many of you can empathize with the daily terror we who live in NYC endure? Bush's war is a like a death warrant, just like the ones he signed regularly as governor of Texas.
Had Bush put the hundreds of billions of dollars into fighting terrorism instead of fighting in Iraq I am convinced we would all be safer today AND Bush would be one of the most popular presidents in our history.
It's too damn bad that he's such a frickin moron and that his judgement is so skewed. Just look at his polls! Look at the opinion Americans have about the war in Iraq!
You want to point fingers at one of the main motivators of terrorism today? Point them squarely and directly at George W. Bush!
We need to all pray that we survive his presidency and that my 15 year old soon doesn't get blown up or nuked or gassed because if he does it will be a tragedy that will haunt our country evermore.
