After all of the political bashing I saw yesterday from both sides, I want to see how you would deal with the serious issues that cross the President's desk everyday. That's right folks, I'm putting the Republicans & Democrats into the President's shoes for a moment! We'll see who can answer an intelligent question or not.

In the same way that Bush is, although I would try to act
in a very much less apologetic way, I would really smack
these guys into the ground, If you give a terrorist an arm
then they take the whole body............................................
I would tighten up access to everything, out there including
limiting some freedoms........................................................

Personally , I would be at a lose - I can admit it. There is no easy solution to the problem. I would ask for advise but then be perceived as weak or I could stand firm, tell Iraq what is needed for them to do and look arrogant or unfeeling to the problem.
One one hand you have "terrorists" shooting at everything that moves in Iraq, killing children, blowing up mosques, car bombing markets all in the name of ......who knows what the latest line of BS is. Religion is a scapegoat - wanting the US to leave is a scapegoat - getting their story out to the media is a scapegoat. I truly believe they just want everyone who isn't "them" to be dead.
"We should on continued bombing and gotten our message out better - "terrorists" don't wear uniforms. The ones that were in the military shed those the first day. The media needed to stay back - war isn't a movie and propaganda is our enemy too"
Then on the other hand are the "talk it out crowd" we can win their hearts with candy or food or school supplies. Ignore the fact these people were killing your buddies last night or shooting at you. They are just misunderstood --we aren't giving them enough.They just don't understand what a mission of peace is. Its not their fault - they are to used to being told what to do - it has to be the environment or their social upbringing or God knows what lame excuse some psychologist will come up with.
One solution was to of left the solders win the war, keep the peace and stop taking excuses from the UN. The UN is so concerned about the country's poor, hungry and displaced - get back into Iraq. Their retreat from Iraq after the 2003 bombing of its Baghdad headquarters was cowardice ,do the job they signed on for in 2003. UN Security Council Resolution 1637 said the Council would terminate the ’Multinational Force's mandate at the request of Iraq's government. Great! Let Maliki stand up and tell the UN come back - everyone else go..... simple then the ball is in Iraq's court.

I think I would have to start with the root cause of terrorism, poverty and social injustice.
If the half trillion that has been put into the Iraq war had been used to end poverty, the terrorism problem could be almost non-existant. Instead we have fought it militarily (you can not fight an enemy that you can not see) causeing more poverty and social injustice, at home and abroad! There are more terrorists now then when Bush started the war!

the war on terror doesnt exist and is a phrase coined by the bush administration to constantly keep you in cowardly fear so you would give away your rights and let them carry out illegal wars , and there sick and twisted power hungry agender , the president is a puppet .
look up habeas corpus and see how the atorn ey general beleives you have no constitutional right to habeus , this means you have no right to a fair trial , to trial by jury, to representation and no right to due process . there shafting you and who would notice.
