GW Bush/Oct.11,2000/2nd Bush Gore Presidential debates--
".....it changed into a nation building mission, and that's where the mission went wrong. The mission was changed. And as a result, our nation paid a price. And so I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation building."
--GW Bush referring to Kosovo.

JON V: Yeah that's what all those 180,000 contractors are doing in Iraq. Rebuilding Iraq's schools and hospitals and homes among other things we blew the crap out of!

Southern Belle>3: Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11!
Even GW Bush said they didn't!

SOCKO: I am not a supporter of Hillary. As far as I am concerned she is as bad as Bush. The Clinton's proved to me they were in cahoots with people like GW Bush when Bill signed NAFTA!
If Americans want more of the same they should vote in Hillary or Guiliani.

Forgot 9/11? That kind of put a kink in his plans.

Good question but you are only going to get an honest answer from the same old people.
Anybody who might(and ought to) learn something new will just ignore the question and the answers.
Karl Rogue (oops,I mean Rove) decided that TX Governor W.Bush was exactly the sort of Joe Six Pack Born Again type who the Religious Right and the Common- Man would vote for against what they billed as the ¨elitist¨ Gore( first) and Kerry (second).
Once Rogue and the neoconservative ideologues who now dominate the Republican Party got their man into the White House (and ,contrary to Bush, who thinks God did it, they knew they needed the votes of the majority to get him in there),they proceeded to re-educate him. He was kind of dragging his feet a bit at first but 9/11 woke him up and from then on it was a breeze. They fed him the rhetoric and he spewed it out to the public.
Now he has embarked us on a mission to save the world from itself and it matters not a hoot how many U.S. soldiers die in the process. We are supposed to bring democracy to every despotic, hostile country that neither desires it or deserves it. These jokers decide which nation should benefit from our attentions.
Neoconservatives believe in BIG spending: on wars and furthering Israel's interests in the region. They believe in messianic missions for our country. G.W. believed God wanted him in the White House. The two connected...the rest is history.
-uuuh,maybe,Karl Rogue(oops,I mean Rove)is really the Angel Gabriel in disguise and Bush is right after all. That could be another explnation.-

We voters, Dems, Mods, Cons, Reps, had no decent choise in 2000, nor in 2004 !!!
AND as long as the extremists continue to dominate the ONCE GREAT DEMOCRAT Party, this trend will continue, selecting the LEAST of the 'Evils' !!

certainly no longer something ought to be funded by using Bush's 'faith-based initiatives' for the full concept is obviously unconstitutional. (of course, the Iraq conflict is likewise unconstitutional, besides as violating many treaty's and rules)

But of course 9/11 didn't affect us or change anything at all.

Hey Kelley B... I recall that debate in 2000. He also said that if our troops were put in harms way he would make sure we'd have a EXIT STRATEGY!!! How about that?....Remember the witty sound bite... FUZZY MATH ? Who's guilty of that? Certainly not Al Gore.

The question is why did you people trust in the first place.
Some of you people voted for this man, which I find very irresponsible.

As near as I can figure, 6 1/2 years ago, we had a lot of very stupid voters in this country. It's amazing how many of them have really smartened up, isn't it???

Uum well having thousands of people killed on American soil by terrorist could have something to do with it don't you think?
Humm i suspect your a liberal right? Figures. So your trying to tell me we would still be in Iraq even if 9/11 never happened? Bull.
