Do the majority of Americans have the ability to see the dangers or will it take a nightmare on the scale of which we've never seen before?

No....Americans only see what the media shows them...to form their own opinion would require depth and reasoning ....
quoting a headline is so much easier

Well, for one, he's not right about Iraq or Islam or his failed foreign policy in general! The asker is right, a "nightmare on the scale of which we've never seen before" is in our future but ONLY if we continue to meddle in the affairs of middle-eastern countries. How would YOU feel if an army of Islamists showed up in our country and said "Conform to Islam or die?"

If you replace "Islam" with "democracy" in that last sentence you will start to get the picture of what is currently fueling their hatred towards us.

Now before you start calling me un-patriotic or anti-american, study our recent history in the middle east and you will realize we've been poking at the hornet's nest for quite some time in that region, specifically since 1953 in Iran.

First of all, Iraq wasn't ruled by a radical Islamic regime.
As for being right about radical Islam, yes, Milosevic, Dr. Karadzic, Dr. Seselj and others were and are right about radical Islam. And I fail to understand, how can one kind of regime or ideology be "good" for Serbs (or anyone else) and "bad" for Americans at the same time.

yet another attack against the non-existant 'left' liberals'. The strawman is getting greater Raggety-Anne known. purely for as quickly as i might want to be certain those adult adult males preserve the completely bogus regulations and politics of the Bush Junta without dragging the drained, previous ineffective corpse of their renowned build, 'THE LIBERAL' into the equation. suitable at the back of the 'THE LIBERAL' comes Michael Moore, who has precisely one million/one thousand of the exposure of 'Decider' and yet 3/4 of the yank public believe Mike and disagree with George. unusual yet actual. Given suitable wing radio on the air 24/7 and FOX community constantly workin' the room with their satisfied communicate Iraq blather you may think of that there does no longer be a murmer of opposition to the Bush Banditos 'take over the international' BS. yet, human beings do see what's actual and what's nonsense...which purely proves elementary Abe's assessment....'you may no longer fool each and all of the persons each and all of the time'! Hiding at the back of the antics of the Islamic nitwits would not cover the goofball antics of the Bush nitwits, no remember how annoying you are trying in charge the non-existant liberal boogyman for all it relatively is undesirable in the international! It ain't workin', bro....Bush is the enemy and the quicker this bum is long gone the quicker we can certainly come to grips with the 'different' enemy. No kiddin'!

The one place George is right is that if we leave Iraq it will turn into chaos. Unfortunately, that chaos will be of our creation. It is unfortunate that whoever is elected our next President will have to face the blame for the result of our venture in nation building.

I hope you can take solace in the fact that someone else will be blamed for the destabilization of the region and the resulting deaths.

Iraq was run by a Despot who was very successful at crushing radical islamic movements, (I absolutely dont agree with how he did it, he was definately one of the most brutal dictators in history), That being said, a much bigger threat was Iran. Iraq now has more influence in Iraq than anytime in the last 50 yrs. Iraq was no threat to us in the short term, and now is open for islamic radicals.

Right how? We have no business telling people how to live their life or how to govern their country. Radical Islam is a small percentage of the world population and unfortunately we can not, and will not, ever stop their rage. If we really wanted to see things change we would need to change our policies. George Bush has never been right about anything. He is a horrible President and should be in jail!!!

It would be strange for the majority of Americans to agree on anything especially with presidential wanna-be’s stepping up their campaigns to such an early date (will the next run for president begin the day after our new president is instated into office with all candidates undermining that president to make his/herself look like good?)

When the first G. Bush pulled out troops he went down in modern history as weak and not completing the job. Now this G. Bush is finishing what was started and he will go down in modern history as not knowing when to quit. It would be interesting to see how the future judges this generation of Americans- no matter what the president does, it is wrong and unsupportable!

Some Americans are couch spectators looking for a scape-goat and/or something to complain about without being willing to actually stand up for our Nation. Only in America is the common theme “anti American”. Was in ok in Irag ten years ago to put down the government? Do other countries have a majority of citizens that put down their own culture?

The current situation doesn’t lend itself to supporting this war. G. Bush is unable to command the respect of the senate and the a portion of our senate is unable to put America above its party and personal desires. Even if Bush were doing everything right, having a senate that undermines instead of works with our president cannot succeed. They are wasting our tax money and the lives of our soldiers by being unwilling to work together for what is best for our nation. It feels like our nation is being run by a class of eighth graders fighting amongst themselves for popularity and the teacher lacks the ability to gain control to make them focus and work together. Since we are paying the salaries of our national leaders, is there any chance they could work together instead of demanding each be elected president before being willing to actually work for their salaries? It's called being for the common good of America.

(One other thought: 9/11 happened and we went to war in Irag (with most of the senates supporting this idea) instead of somewhere else for many reason :: Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese that began our entry into WWII and we went to Europe to end the concentration camps- how is this different?) What took us into Vietnam? What parties were in office for each?

He is right. America is just getting tired of the war and the reports from the media.

I think that maybe he should have made some adjustments in Iraq sooner, but his general intent and understanding of what we are up against is correct.

Well, if George Bush is right, then we'll have more things to worry about. For example, avoiding getting hit by the droppings of the pigs that will be flying.
