Truce? You are weak like the French...I'd wager you drive a little bitty car and eat unpasturized cheese

You're quote above says it all. The most compelling Administration charges were that Saddam was working on a nuke and he had links to al Qaida. Based upon what we know today about what the Administration knew then, there was clearly not a credible case to be made on either count. Put simply, Saddam didn't pose the urgent threat to America as advertised.

In other words, we didn't attack the "network of thousands & thousands of members of a multinational terrorist army without uniforms."

What's worse is that instead of dealing directly with the roots of Islamic Fundamentalisim that attacked US soil on 9/11, we have instead given them new purpose. Al-Zarqawi has been elevated from a 2 bit thug to the new leader of the Islamist movement, and his reach is spreading.

I think bush is doing a great job.

we should be killing every muslim. We should be destroying the enviroment. We should be giving tax welfare to oil companies. We should be making the poor suffer. We should be ignoring our national deficit.

Spence & I agreed to a truce.

Eben, I will no longer respond to uncalled for, unsubstantiated, lefty-slanted attacks on my great President.

Eben-

I was joking with you; but if you read my post above the answer is no, I really don't think he's great, but for far different reasons than you guys do I'm sure.

He's become a big disappointment to conservatives IMO.

I think the only groups really happy with the Bush admin are big Oil, big Pharma and exiled wannabe Iraqi leaders

Liberals can't stand him because he panders to the extreme right.

Conservative can't stand him because he's a big government Republican while pretending to act like Reagan just to get their support.

Independents can't stand him because just about everything he does is corrupt in some fashion and anti-pragmatic to the core.

Spence, by the way, can't you tell from my politics that my wife and I both drive big gas-guzzling SUV's that pollute the air and that I eat raw meat from cows that were not humanely kept before slaughter...


Actually, I am in support of maintaining & bettering the environment and I eat very healthy foods.

And you spelled "unpasteurized" incorrectly (got that from Brian).
