Here's a thought...should we give Al-Qaeda a small thanks?

Think about it, when they launched 9/11, it totally showed the whole world wtf Bush Jr was really like. It showed us how incapable Bush really was. It showed us that Bush isnt fit for Presidency.

Perhaps, if John F. Kerry becomes President Kerry and Osama Bin Laden is captured...should we all give Bin Laden a silent thank you and a swift kick to the balls?

Possibly. Does that mean you've given up the idea that Osama is already dead/captured and will be bought out just before the election?

There are a million possibilities as to what will happen.

I believe it. If I were Cheney/Bush and I had Osama, I'd do it.

Uh...well, I'm starting to think even more that Bin Laden is already captured because the other day CNN commented about a new way of viewing satellite imagery (it seems like a pretty simple concept...) and they're talking about getting closer to actually capturing him. It isn't just going to come out of the blue. They'll add it up more and more until about October then actually pull it out...

why didn't they do it with Saddam? Because he was the leader of Iraq and needed to give Bush a mid-term boost?

Well to be on Bush's side for a moment. How many presidents actually had to deal with this? How many other presidents would have done the same?

Deal with what? Can you be more specific?

Wow, I am shocked anyone would even consider writing that, let alone posting it on this forum. You honestly believe all the lives lost on September 11th, combined with the numerous other lives lost because of Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, were worth it just to show someone isn't fit for office?

And i don't see how these attacks proved Bush is un-fit for the presidency. If anything, and polls will agree with this, Bush has proven he is an excellent leader and agressive fighter of the war on terror. You may disagree with his policy, and many of the things he's done, but i'm not quite sure that makes him "incable" as a president.

He didn't need a mid-term boost. With Kerry, they're already at a dead heat and the covnention just started! He'll need Osama to bail him out.

No, 54% of America dissapproves of the way Bush is handling his War on Terror.
It's a dead heat for "Approve/Disapprove" for general.

He doesn't even have more than half of the public thinking he's a great leader. Agressive, maybe, but not great.

I'm over the losses of Sept 11. I know what terrible things Osama has done. Which is why I added the "swift kick to the balls"

and I'm glad that Bush invaded Afghanistan to get the Taliban and Al-Qaeda...seriously.

But the rest...really...I can't say I'm too happy with his handling.

The only hijacking on 9/11 was by remote-controll from the Pentagon. ObL is the paid spokesman for the imaginary supervillian team "al-Qaeda"

Are you serious? 9/11 showed the world that the United States takes no bull shit. We need more presidents like Bush who show the world whos boss! :sniper: :mp5: :gundge:

Right...i've never seen a poll like that. Where did you find it?

Check www.rasmussenreports.com or www.yahoo.com and go to their elections section, then "what american's say." Their latest poll places the numbers at 52% approve, 39% dissaprove of the war on terror. In fact, in yahoo's compilation of polling data has the number of people dissaproving of Bush's handling of the war on terrorism greater than that approving. Rasmussen reports polling shows much the same thing. And so you know, Clinton's approval ratings were no higher than Bush's going into his second election.

Yeah, polls are pointless in my opinion for the most part, but when a majority show the same thing about issues like these, i find them to be weak evidence at the very least

One president that had to deal with something that would have been much worse than 9/11 had he not handled it the way he did was John F. Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis. If we had a president like Bush at the time we would likely all be dead, or living in the aftermath of a full scale nuclear war. If you don't know, Kennedy's advisors tried very hard to corner Kennedy into war with the Soviets, but Kennedy was able to get out of their snares and we survived with no loss of life at all. Bush would have jumped all over the opportunity to be famous for starting a war. Thus almost totally wiping out much of the population of Europe, Asia and North America.

Yeh, yeh his point is 'insulting' e.t.c.

What I don't seem to understand about Americans, is thier total lack of humanity towards the other side in the conflict. I mean, tens of thousands of Afghan and Iraqi Civilians have died in this War on Terror, but they are dehumanized in the media. Whereas the American Soldier has a face and family the Iraqi dead is just another victim of 'collateral damage'.

Not only that, but they actually proposed carrying out terrorist attacks in the US and blaiming them on Castro in order to start a war!
