Started with 9/11 and ended with the global financial collapse. Gee whiz!</I><BR/><BR/>You think he's done a good job preventing terrorism? What about 9/11? That happened during his presidency! He had warning of it but ignored/didn't see the memo because he was on one of his many vacations.<BR/><BR/>Ah, your later paragraph makes it clear: you somehow think 9/11 happened on the first day of his presidency. Nope, it happened eight months in. Now, I realize the conservative media has managed to lower the bar for Bush so much that those are considered his "training days", but posters here are supposed to be smarter enough to see past that. Think about it this way, if Gore had been president and 9/11 had still happened (which it wouldn't have), what would the reaction have been? The Republicans would have impeached him and thrown him out of office.<BR/><BR/>Also, that "global financial collapse", Bush and his administration helped cause that and threatened anyone who tried to prevent it. It's not some unforeseeable misfortune that befell poor pure Bushie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568749253826790814.post-7121797845522284632009-01-15T01:48:00.000+00:002009-01-15T01:48:00.000+00:00Blogger Mitesh Damania said...

I would really like to see how people like you explain the Israeli intelligence presence and arrests on the day of 9/11 and hear an explanation of how WTC7 collapsed the way it did due to office fires (plus the long list of other anomalies and contradictions to the official story of 9/11). <BR/><BR/>Of course, you can just remain ignorant and listen to Rush Limbaugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568749253826790814.post-43677812912339269382009-01-14T17:42:00.000+00:002009-01-14T17:42:00.000+00:00And just like clockwork the always popular "I am s...And just like clockwork the always popular "I am so much smarter than you, I am smug ass enlightened lib and you are ignorant and ruined our discussion" retort. Classic.<BR/><BR/>And now the conspiracy kooks are coming out as well.<BR/><BR/>"Who really benefits from 9/11? Think about it." <BR/><BR/>I work with and consider very good friends, two gentlemen from Iran. Of course the topic of 9/11, Bin Laden, Jihad, Isreal, the Middle East in general has come up quite a bit the past 8 years or so.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, these friends of mine do not like Bush. They think he has screwed things up. But they agreed that removing Sadam was a VERY GOOD THING and the right thing to do. They agree that eliminating Osama and as much of his merry men as possible would be a good thing. They also say that there is no way we actually accomplish this because of Afghanistan and the terrain there. The caves, caverns, etc plus the locals helping him, they said back in '01-'02 that Osama could hide in there forever and we couldn't find him. Seems they were right.<BR/><BR/>More importantly, we talk alot of the general perception of America by the Middle East and about Jihad and extremists. Most people in that part of the world do not hate us. They do not necessarily agree with our relationship with Isreal. But in general, they like and appreciate the opportunity afforded to them by this country and just want what most of us want, whats best for thier families.<BR/><BR/>But the extremists truly do hate us. They hate the fact that we have porn on the internet, have legalized gambling and prostitution, allow women the right to vote and equality with men, tolerate homosexuality and on and on and on. Our freedoms and the fact we are so liberal are the very reason for thier hatred of us and the 9/11 attacks. They truly are religious fanatics and believe we are the devil.<BR/><BR/>Now the connection of oil and the Royal families in that part of the world treating thier people like crap, making them drill oil while living in squalor and keeping all the oil money for themselves, not taking care of the country, etc is ABSOLUTELY, 100% CREATING A FERTILE BREEDING GROUND FOR NEW ENLISTEES TO THE JIHAD. There is no doubt our foreign relations has failed miserably in this regard. So long as a large percentage of the people are destitute and see no hope or future, Jihadists and those like them will continue to grow.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if a large enough number of people here in the USA become destitute we will have a revolution and finally elect a real goverment, by the people, for the people? Just like good old TJ wanted it. I digress, back on topic.<BR/><BR/>To say 9/11 was a conspiracy is a stretch at best. But what do I know?
