This thread is bullshit. The American citizens that are criticizing and ridiculing Bush are about as big of flip-floppers as your hero, Mr. Kerry.
If all you morons would so kindly remember back to when America was cowardly attacked on 9/11 and remember all the speeches that Dubya made, I want you to realize that you're all freakin' hypocrites. George Bush stated many, many times that he would retaliate to whoever attacked us AND declare war on terrorism. Everyone was so happy! We're going to bring vengeance upon those bastards that killed our families. Everything was smooth.
Bush actually stood behind what he said(despite Kerry's inconsistent attitude) and attacked Afghanistan. What!?!?!?! He actually meant he was going to attack somebody? Oh shit, why would he do that? Maybe we were wrong about supporting him and his war on terrorism.
We attacked Iraq because they had specific links to Al-Queda. Saddam Hussein is a terrorist who killed his own people and terrorized innocent civilians in many other countries. Remember Kuwait, pinpricks? Yeah, he's a terrorist. Yeah, we're at war with terrorism. PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER, MORONS. Of course, some people are going to die; it's a freakin' war. I'm sorry if one of your friends/relatives has died because of this, but that's life. You Kerry supporters have made up so many excuses as to why we're over there in Iraq. Oil, power, show our strength, war-monger; STICK WITH ONE CONCLUSION. I can't wait to hear the next reason as to why we're in Iraq, I swear one comes up every other week.
You know what? If Gore had been elected in 2000 and we had been attacked, he would have done the same thing as Bush did. Every president would have. You all would be singing the same f*cking song as you are now; making up excuses as to why we're attacking people. It's because we're at war with terrorism. Stand by your country, damn hippies. I'm sick of all you bastards being so hypocritical about everything the Bush administration has promised.

What do you mean flip-floppers? I have never, ever,
ever supported Bush. Look back through the threads, it's all there. Secondly, what makes us hypocrites if we neevr agreed with what he said in the start?
Now, terrorism is an idea. Think about it? How do you declare war on an idea? It's not possible. Declaring war on an idea itself would require completely brainwashing people's minds. War on terrorism isn't what's happening, we're warring with people we
want to war with. I hadn't heard a damn thing about Saddam in a long time until Bush brought this whole war about. Why is that? And if we're going to fight "terrorism", then their are much bigger threats. Why Saddam? There has to be an ulterior motive. Now, I have never really mentioned why I think we went to Iraq, except I think that Bush just wants to finish up what his father started. I have many more theories, but they are based on my guesses from the facts I have gathered. Now, one death, a thousand deaths, a million deaths, a billion deaths are all alright in war when their is a legitimate purpose, but I have yet to see a legitimate purpose for this war. One single death is unacceptable when you're fighting for a reason that doesn't exist. (I'm talking about Iraq, not Afghanistan)
We didn't attack Iraq because they had specific links to Al-Quaeda, we attacked Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction. Only one problem. They didn't. Bush only emphasized the fact that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Once that was out, everyone supported him. Now, if Al-qaeda and Iraq were connected, which I want links to, it was still no reason to go to war with a Sovereign nation. Civilian casualties in Iraq far exceed those of 9/11. If a nation as a whole wants to harbor someone, it's not our right to disturb their peace. If you want to bring Osama out of Iraq, do so quietly. Of course, since Osama isn't in Iraq, that defeats the purpose. A war with a nation is completely uncalled for if the sole reason is to oust a group of 500 or so people. And, if that is the case, then I suppose the terrorists are winning? Although Al-qaeda has been weakend, it is still thriving, and Osama is still on the loose. If our purpose in Iraq was really to bring Al-qaeda down, then we ended the war a little early, don't you think? Now, Osama needs to be brought to justice. I agree with the idea. What I disagree with is the tactics that Bush has used. This could have been done in a much better manner. Now, I know some smart ass is going to ask whether or not I could have done it better. Well, I'm going to answer you beforehand. I honestly do believe that I could have done it better.
And as for your last statement, you're absolutely right. If Gore had done all of this, then I would have been sitting here criticizing him instead. Every time I have said Bush, or Dubya in this thread would have been replaced with a Gore.
