Some 26% of the US still feel GW is doing a fully satisfactory job.
Essentially the same percentage believe Iraq was behind the 9/11 terrorism.



Did that hurt?
When you pulled that out of your ass?



Harris poll (July 2007) - 26% percent: - President Bush’s approval
rating according to a new Harris poll, down from a high of 88 percent
shortly after 9/11.


I recalled the second part incorrectly - " Even today, more than four
years into the war in Iraq, as many as four in 10 Americans (41 percent)
still believe Saddam Hussein’s regime was directly involved in
financing, planning or carrying out the terrorist attacks on 9/11, even
though no evidence has surfaced to support a connection."

Hmm - just how ignorant are the GW supporters?



Not near as ignorant as liberals. Hell they can't find the USA on a map
much less Iraq.



Reinforces your ignorance - I've been a registered Republican all my
life. I just didn't vote for cowboy, baby bush (either time).


Answer this. Where is the "war on terror" being fought? Where should it
be fought?
I know that requires thinking. Take your time. Ask friends. We will wait.



Had GW used the military to go after the terrorists after 9/11 rather
than using it as a convenient way to overthrow Saddam in his ****ing
contest (even Saddam grossly underestimated GW's self-interest cowboy
instinct), the world would be a whole lot safer today.

Then again, the Cheney / GW agenda has always been to stir up fear
around the world to enrich their oil-based coffers through higher oil
pricing. Meanwhile, they continue to cost the US about $10B/mo trying to
cover their ass in their botched invasion of Iraq (which once again -
had NOTHING to do with 9/11) - all with borrowed money that will have to
be paid for well after they leave office.

But then, GW has had a history of similar failures (proceed on shoot
from the hip, gut feel & get others to bail him out).

For a start - GW needs to go and the US needs to rebuild badly shattered
diplomacy amongst allies.. His fear mongering, stay-the-course, failed
strategy has been a failure from day one (except to enrich his family /
friends coffers).

Then, a retreat from Iraq is needed with a buildup in Afghanistan using
world-wide cooperation is necessary to wipe out the terrorists training
camps. Unfortunately, the military has been spread way too thin to be
effective on the real threats of terrorism, as history has proven.
