Is America safer and more prepared now than 5 years ago?

Question

Given Bush's response to Hurrican Katrina,I would unfortunately have to say no.

Republicans are now in full panic mode.They stand to lose big this year.How do I know this.Oh,therandman just used a little reverse psychology,that's all:

Liberals and JW are in full panic mode. They are scared because they know they don't have a platform to present to Americans. They know that the Bush policies are working and America is safer. They know that they have been on the wrong side of all issues and the voters know! They will lose in Nov.-therandman.

If Bush's policies are "working" then why is there all the buzz in this country right now to clean house?Honestly.

Answer 1

No. The Bush administration's habit of systematically distorting intelligence reports for selfish political reasons does not make us safer.

Bush's idea of a "war on evil" is simplistic, naive, and downright apocalyptic.

If we're winning the war on terrorism, why do we keep going up to orange alert?

In Fall of 2002, George W. Bush says "I am not willing to risk one American life." By the end of August 2003, 136 Americans are dead. What kind of American life was he referring to? Apparently not the lives of soldiers. And as we all know now, that was just the beginning
One of the most forgotten details of the American response in the weeks after September 11, 2001 is that the government of Afghanistan offered to give in to George W. Bush's demands. The government of Afghanistan offered to hand Osama Bin Laden over to the American government, through Pakistan.
Why didn't George W. Bush take Afghanistan up on its offer? Oh, what an excellent question that is.
Bush refused to take Osama bin Laden into custody from Afghanistan because the Afghan government wanted to negotiate the way in which this transfer would take place. Bush said that he would not conduct any negotiations with the Afghan government, even if it meant that the American government could get Osama Bin Laden as a prisoner. Then, Bush said he'd had enough of talk with the Afghans.
Bush wanted to attack.
The government of Afghanistan pleaded with the Bush Administration, saying that it wanted to talk to him about handing over Osama bin Laden into American custody. Bush refused. Bush said he wouldn't talk about it. Bush wanted a war more than he wanted Osama bin Laden. Bush made a choice to let Osama bin Laden go.
America didn't have to invade Afghanistan. Bush made the choice that he wanted to fight for Osama bin Laden instead of negotiating for him. For Bush, fighting felt better. And that makes Bush a dangerous leader

George W. Bush's crusade against “Islamic fascist" may have touched off a religious conflict that threatens to destroy not only Iraq, but a wide swath of territory from the Middle East through Central Asia along with ALL of US. Bush's holy wars have brought about just the kind of instability that terrorists thrive upon. Smooth move, Mr. Bush!!!

Answer 2

I will not debate the left/right issues, but answer your core question with some questions:
1) Have external threats to the US been reduced/eliminated? ->Yes
2) Have internal threats to the US been reduced/eliminated? -> Yes
3) Has internal security and response to threats been improved? -> Yes
4) Have more than 25 million new guns been sold in the US since 9/11/01? -> Yes
5) Do violent crimes get solved faster now? -> Yes
6) Is there an increased visibility in predatory criminals and crimes? -> Yes
7) Is our system of geovernment stable? ->Yes
8) Is your ability to have a dissenting opinion of our current government a physical threat to you in any way? -> No, try that in China, Iran, or Cuba...

No matter how much you prepare for mother nature, she is gonna win. The issues of Katrina belong in Nagin and Blanco's hands. They did NOTHING when it was clear the nature of the event. The government responding in 3 days to something like that is pretty good, look how long it takes to get a green card or to get a tax refund!

Answer 3

You again? Same BS and same rant disguised as a question. I really meant it when I said you needed to get an education. And lay off the drugs while you're at it.

It's not the federal governments job to raise us like children nor is it their job to hold our hand in a natural disaster. Take responsibility for your own self for a chance. Grow up and sprout some wings.

And again, just as in your last (cough) question:

Clinton allowed terror attacks during his entire administration. Bush? 9/11 was the only one that happened. Will it happen again? Maybe, if the liberals get their way by granting these bastards rights they do not deserve. But safer? Have we been attacked since then? NO!

Now sit down child and finish your Kool-Aid.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not involved in nationalism or politics. They look to God's Messianic Kingdom to solve the problems of mankind.

Fine, big Jim. Announce your travel plans to the world about two months before you next trip and we'll tell the NTSB about it so they can pull all the security from just your flight that day since all the things we do since 9/11 apparently mean nothing to you.

Then we'll see if anyone else gets on your flight or if the pilots even show up.

I can see it now. You sitting there, alone, and then about 20 rows back a nervous looking middle eastern man holding a briefcase..........that's ticking.

Go ahead Jim, say hello to him.
