Sure, he doesnt have a direct influence on the economy. He's just the president. Nothing he does affects the economy in any way. The fact that we had a billion dollar surplus before him, and now we have a trillion dollar deficit...those are not related at all, I'm sure. Cutting funding for government programs so everyone could get a 300 dollar check in the mail and buy a new 25" TV has _nothing_ at all to do with our economic situation.
And you're right, he isn't responsible for 911, nor is he responsible for ignoring priceless information that was passed through his underlings for months that could have prevented it.
And yes, we got Saddam! Dirty mother fucking Arab! He's gone. Everything is set for the hand off to a new government. Bush just isn't sure who we are handing it off to. But that doesn't matter, right? A religious extremist is tons better than Saddam. Nothing bad will come of that! We'll just have to remain a presense in Iraq for another 50 years. But that aint too bad. We were in Germany for 60!
So yes, as you said, he hasn't been THAT bad. I guess Reagan devoting a trillion dollars to a missle defense system that went nowhere was bad. But wait...a billion dollars a month...for Iraq? That's pretty bad too. Dipping into social security to finance Iraq? That's _really_ god damn bad.
But all of these mistakes don't matter, because, as you said, he isn't the brightest crayon in the box. But he surrounds himself with smart people, right? They'll catch all his mistakes.
I'm sorry, but I'm tired of this growing ignorance of the falicy of this president. Read up a little, please...please?
Stop twisting my words around to suit your own purposes. "Nothing he does affects the economy in any way." I didn't mean it in that extreme; I meant he doesn't have that much "ultimate" control of our economy, compared to other presidential duties. But go ahead: twist and disfigure everything I post as you may. -.-;
"And you're right, he isn't responsible for 911, nor is he responsible for ignoring priceless information that was passed through his underlings for months that could have prevented it." Did he really ignore information? .. why? Why would he do that? Does that even make sense to you? This is a terrorism attack: on American soil. And he would hear about it from a staffer or executive officer: "Oh, by the by, there's also that thing we have to talk about. You know... that Al-queida attack. Want to do anything about it?" Do you honestly think that's how our country is run? Fuck. I don't want to live here, then.
And didn't you think that Iraq was going to be expensive, anyway? Are wars not expensive? :o What were we to go: go in there with fig leaves and sticks, instead of the expensive-yet-necessary weapons and ammunition? On some level I agree: there is definately a way to cut down that cost. Yet on another I dispute: it's going to get expensive (not to say that as an excuse, but a fact of warfare).
Bah. I don't even know why I try: as 'fun' as it can be to argue, you're just going to rebut everything/anything I say about this. -.-
Maybe this is all just futile. Maybe I _am_ just growing in the ignorance of the fallacy of this president.. Fuck, I'm done.
Hey I forgot to mention this.... we knew three yrs earlier about Al Queida's existance and Bin Laden. We had no idea of 9/11. We had idea taht there were arabs that had passed under immigration to train in American Flight schools. We new Sept. 10 that there was going ot be an attack. The FBI knew many things the CIA knew things. NO one had time to sit down and put it all together. ANd no one wanted 9/11 to happen. Hence why Bush now is tryign to create the Department of HOmeland security so both the CIA and FBI talk instead of competing against each other. Maybe now informatino can be relayed better and we can find out earlier than too late. We knew bits of info we did not know of 9/11 because I am sure if we had really known all the information who when where...how it would not have happened. All the investigations happening now are to find out why we only know the who and not the when it was going to happen. And after these investigations to see whether or not we could have prevented 9/11 are over we can then fire who dropped the ball. These investigations are a necessity in order to find out where the information was not relayed to the president and the informatino was not discussed between the CIA and FBI. We need to make sure this doesnt happen again! That is why Bush has created the homeland department for security. And that is why peopel are running aroudn screaming we could have prevented 9/11....to find out why we didnt and and who dropped the ball.
All of your arguments about Iraq rest on the assumption that this war was needed. It was not. Yes, wars are expensive. Very expensive. My point does not revolve around semantics in this respect however, as I understand the costs associated with war.
But you must understand that we do not have control of this region at all, and probably won't for some years. It will take many generations of occupation so successfully tame the area, and this will not happen if we are handing the rule of the state over to someone else. Who? Oh, that's right, they don't know who yet.

This war was unnecessary.
No WMDs. No ties to Al-Qaeda. Nothing.
