Was it the balanced budget and $127 billion surplus?

Or the already used and developed Intelligence agencies of the U.S.?

Was it the relatively low cost of living for people of the middle-class?

Was it the fairly small amount of unemployment?

Was it the bursting-through-the-roof economy?

Which one is it? What was the mess?

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Wahabism in Saudi Arabia have been the two major learning centers for terrorists in the Middle East for the last 75 years including training Bin Laden/Al Qaeda. So why the hell aren't we bombing and invading those countries two countries that shelter the "Schools of Terror"?

"In an occurrence more commonly seen in border towns, authorities cut off a smuggling operation Wednesday in San Antonio netting more than 50 undocumented migrants packed into a foul-smelling duplex in the city's near-northwest side.

Authorities came across the “stash house” by accident — a San Antonio police officer was conducting a routine stolen car check in the 200 block of Senisa Drive in the Monticello Park Historic District when he saw four men running away, according to police spokesman Sgt. Gabe Trevino.

Two men were captured and the others escaped while two cars in the back of the house were confirmed as stolen from Houston, Trevino said.

Checking inside the house, officers discovered 51 people — 38 men, 12 women and a 17-year-old girl — crammed into three stuffy upstairs bedrooms.

The way I see it, America cannot occupy Iraq for the next 4 years for the following reasons:

-The Iraqi people government won't let us

-Even if they did, the Iraqi PEOPLE wouldn't. There would be a popular uprising long before this time

-The American people won't stand for it, the war gets more unpopular by the month

-Even if the government tries, the pro-war candidates will get recalled/voted out and Congress will force a Vietnam-style withdrawl

-Bush leaves office in 2008, his policies are probably leaving with him given how unpopular he is

Whether we should stay or not is irrelevant. Whether we 'stay the course' or 'cut and run' or whatever isn't the US military's choice to make. Staying indefinitely makes no sense, leaving by a certain date makes no sense. Why stay through 2010 if we don't have to? It's the same as saying we can't win by that time. If the Army truly believes they cannot win within 4 years, what will more time do for the mission besides make it worse?

"Things aren't getting better there" is bullshit. Functioning Iraqi security forces, nationwide elections, infrastructure and economy improvements are there to see. I know I'm talking about from firsthand experience in the dirt. I stated perfectly clear what good reasons there were for immediate pullout (if seriously considered) elsewhere. Not my problem that some (that's you, kvn8907) can't read or think to save their lives.

Why do wannabe pacifists push for either "bring our poor boys home" or "leave the poor Iraqis alone"? If the paramilitaries are allowed to engage in unrestricted violence, every Coalition life lost is wasted. Is it okay as long as Iraqis are killing Iraqis? Are American troops somehow more evil to these idiots than some thug in a dishasha?

What is the matter with these people that they can't do basic research or even claim to have any firsthand knowledge of conditions on the ground, yet they blindly come to sweeping conclusions that are flawed and morally wrong?

I think it is. You can have you viewpoints on illegal immigration. None of us here are in favor of it. But some of you seem downright racist, violent and members of the KKK. (I said some) I know many Mexicans legal and illegal, and they are fine people who work very hard, love their families, and the girls are very cute. Some of you seem so full of hatred and obsessed by them, as if a Mexican stole your husband or wife. It's scary, cause you're killing your insides with hatred, and the law of the universe states it will only come back to you.....and believe me most Mexicans I know are too busy to even give you a second thought. (I'm not Latino by the way, but know people of all cultures, and love both the Asian and Hispanic cultures)

First off, understand that I do believe Clinton is PARTLY responsible...

Bush supported the Taliban back on May 22, 2001 with $43 million, just for them to stop their attacks on local communities and to end their opium trade.
http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v01/n922/...
http://impolitical.blogspot.com/2006/09/... ---not a blog site

Or the fact that Bush supported North Korea with $95 million in 2002, and then waived the required inspection to make sure North Korea is following the agreement.
http://www10.antenna.nl/wise/index.html?...
(I just have sites for the sake of having sites. Any very informed person knows this material).

I realize it is partly Clinton's fault for making the primary arrangement (The Agreed Framework).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/agreed_fram...
But now with Bush also being in office for 6 years on top of these bad decisions...It's weird how some people put the full blame on Clinton. Clinton deserves some blame. But definitely not even most of it.

Yes, I admire Che very much(see my 360). And he would give us more freedom if he ran our nation. Too bad CIA trained, 3rd world troops murdered him with no trial.

Bush of Che Guevara....who would give us more freedom?

Remember the aborted (pun intended) "Million Burkha March"? Inspired by the "Million Ton Mom March" of Rosie ODonnel fame, it was called off when the government of Saddam was toppled. I was just wondering if Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer, et al., still had theirs and would like to auction them off for a worthy charity. Or better yet, start wearing them again.

Anyone have any info on this? Thanks. Luv Jack

I've heard it said that George Bush is responsible for lowering gas prices just before the election. I'd like to know how he does that. Does he have a super top-secret computer in the White House that he programs every morning, before moving on to the rest of the day's business? Is there an elaborate system of levers and switches hidden away that sends siganals to every gas station in the country, telling the station owners what to charge? Or does he use a fabulous mystical relic to magically alter gas prices at whim?

Maybe he doesn't fix gas prices at all... maybe he gets the Illuminati to fix them for him. Or maybe the aliens.

What is YOUR take?

Talk about egg on his face. Bush's answer about diplomacy turned around and blow-up all over his face. And then, even he realized the opening he left so he asked himself a question, but his answer was predictably non-sensible. It is as if Bush tries to creat problems for the USA everywhere he turns.

Our country is in the worst shape it's been in since Carter but according to Bush everything is rosey. Are my fellow Americans so ignorant and gullible enough to fall for his pack of lies? Do you think Bush believes it himself or is he holding back laughter as he tells us everything is great and he and his cronies bleed our country dry?

The only confirmed kill of an Al Qaeda terrorist in Iraq that I have seen is Al Zarqarwi and he was replaced in a week and that guy has 25 more guys to back him up if he is killed. That means it is going to take the US military an estimated 75 years to catch all the Iraqi Al Qaeda leaders.

Years ago - voted for Clinton...I guessed right that time. He won. But I ended up hating the guy because of his infedelities, lies and scandal.... So, voted for Bush twice... Not to happy about that either. Economy is bad and we are in a war... So, even though I guessed right both times - want to try to do better at the polls for the governor race. I usually vote a strait ticket - it's alot easier... Any advice???

I think the democrats will win hopefully even without the recent sexual predator and nuke scandal. but i think the recent scandals in a republican administration full of criminal scandals guarantee Americans no longer can tolerate fake christians and sexual predators in congress. Now we got a Nuclear N Korea thanks to bush dropping the ball.

Republicans can never admit their mistakes. They even tried to blame foleys need for little boys on dmeocrats. Even tried to blame clinton on the korean nukes. LMAO. I love the desparation in the failing republican party

We now know for sure N Korea has WMD which has been suspected. Now we invaded Iraq because Bush claimed they had WMDS so for you Bush lovers out there what next? shall we wait until they come after us fearing invasion from the USA or will Bush just run from confrontation with Kim Jong as he did Bin Laden?
