Thanks for proving my point. Your book is nothing but a collection of peoples opinions and their version of facts. Why did you waste your time writing this?

Oh, and next to Dan Rather you should put "disgraced journalist who lied about Bush". It will make readers connect with you more since you apply the same tactics.

The people who I used are some of the most knowledgeable in this country. The data came directly from the Federal Government. My Sources are a good balance between left and right.

The real test is that the issues that I covered and the results are just as discussed in my book. The Facts are accurate and the opinions are from people that have the knowledge and experience that makes their opinion valid unlike many on this blog site who simply defend a leader that has not accomplished a single thing that has benefited the majority. What Bush has done only benefited a small segment of our society and the harm he has crated in Iraq, trade, deficit, border security, energy has HARMED us ALL!

Col, you know nothing about balance. You are as far left as they come, and your posts here have proven that.

What Bush has done only benefited a small segment of our society and the harm he has crated in Iraq, trade, deficit, border security, energy has HARMED us ALL!

Bush hasn't harmed me col. You don't speak for "ALL", so stop claiming it. We have showed you how you are wrong about most of that. We have also asked you how the democrats will do any better.

Let's take border security and immigration. What are the democratic solutions? A new welfare state for votes maybe?

Yes he has. You are just to dumb to know it!

How about this Gene from Ruters

"You can read it for yourself," Bush said. "We'll stop all the speculation, all the politics about somebody saying something about Iraq, somebody trying to confuse the American people about the nature of this enemy."

Bush said he agreed with the report's conclusion that successes against the al Qaeda leadership had led to extremists "becoming more diffuse and independent" and that they were using Iraq as a recruiting tool.

But, he said, "some people have guessed what's in the report and have concluded that going into Iraq was a mistake. I strongly disagree. I think it's naive."

Lets see what it says, then relook at what you and everyone else has said..

 

Let's look at what has taken place since we invaded Iraq in March 2003:

We have a 2.5 increase in Ad Qaeda according to the CIA.

We have helped elect a government that is of the same ilk as that which is in Iran.

The rate of killing in Iraq has now surpassed the rate of killing under Saddam.

We have killed almost 3,000 Americans and wounded over 20,000 more.

We have spent almost 1/2 a Trillion dollars with no end in sight.

We have destroyed most of the military equipment of the Army and Marines.

We have provided Iraq as a place where Al Qaeda is now operating.

We have enabled the sectarian violence to move Iraq to Civil War.


Which of the above do you think is good for America?

We have a 2.5 increase in Ad Qaeda according to the CIA.

2.5 what? What about the Al Qaeda that bombed the cole? The Al Qaeda that Bombed the WTC the first time? So which is worse. Al Qaeda in Iraq and violence there, or here in the states? I know my vote.

We have helped elect a government that is of the same ilk as that which is in Iran.

We elected them? Hmmm thought Iraqi people voted for the Gov? Oh thats right they are the same as Iran, they are wanting nukes and a serious threat to us now. Thats right I almost forgot.

Please provide me your source on this please (something authoritative please, not a left or right web site by some blogger)

We have killed almost 3,000 Americans and wounded over 20,000 more.

"WE" have not killed a one. Not one single one. The terrorist have, and we have killed a whole hell of a lot of them. How many did we lose in one day on D-Day? And that was only one day of the war. We have lost fewer men than in peace time in one year!

We have spent almost 1/2 a Trillion dollars with no end in sight.

Yep I agree, what price do you put on a war?

We have destroyed most of the military equipment of the Army and Marines.

What are they fighting with then? Seems to me, I will research this of course, but replacement of equipment has actually increased past pre-war speed. During previous wars, the US retooled to produce the required equipment, due to the lack of balls, we have forgotten this lesson.

We have provided Iraq as a place where Al Qaeda is now operating.

Duh! We told all Al Qeada "Go to Iraq its the place to be. " I missed that advertisment on the TV or in the magazines. Thats the idea, would you rather have them operating on the streets of Miami? I personally prefer the spontaniously exploding street walker to happen in some far away land.

[Quote]We have enabled the sectarian violence to move Iraq to Civil War.

Maybe this will be what Iraqi's need to wake up and stand up for themselves. Maybe not. Seems I recall a civil war here a while back that only made our country stronger.
