Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 26, 2001One of the interesting initiatives we've taken in Washington, D.C., is we've got these vampire-busting devices.

Bush, Denver, Aug. 14, 2001There's a lot of people in the Middle East who are desirous to get into the Mitchell process. And - but first things first.

Bush, referring to former Sen.

Bush, speaking to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, March 19, 2001 But the true threats to stability and peace are these nations that are not very transparent, that hide behind the-that don't let people in to take a look and see what they're up to.

Bush, on Laura Bush inviting Justice Antonin Scalia to dinner at the White House, Jan. 2001 I want it to be said that the Bush administration was a results-oriented administration, because I believe the results of focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and having an education system that's responsive to the child and to the parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will make America what we want it to be - a more literate country and a hopefuller country. -George W.

igloo Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 georgeacostdick....you state that Bush is dumb....Well, I rather have a President like Bush, then the mess that preceded him.A President who is not afraid to make the tough decisions to protect Americans (even jerkoffs like you)."We are now paying the wages of the 1990s, our holiday from history. During that decade, every major challenge to America was deferred. The chief aim of the Clinton administration was to make sure that nothing terrible happened on its watch. Accordingly, every can was kicked down the road: --Iraq: Saddam continued defying the world and building his arsenal, even as the United States acquiesced to the progressive weakening of U.N. sanctions and then to the expulsion of all weapons inspectors. --North Korea: When it threatened to go nuclear in 1993, Clinton managed to put off the reckoning with an agreement to freeze Pyongyang's program. The agreement--surprise!--was a fraud. All the time, the North Koreans were clandestinely enriching uranium. They are now in full nuclear breakout. --Terrorism: The first World Trade Center attack occurred in 1993, followed by the blowing up of two embassies in Africa and the attack on the USS Cole. Treating terrorism as a problem of law enforcement, Clinton dispatched the FBI--and the odd cruise missile to ostentatiously kick up some desert sand. Osama was offered up by Sudan in 1996. We turned him away for lack of legal justification. That is how one acts on holiday: Mortal enemies are dealt with not as combatants, but as defendants. Clinton flattered himself as looking beyond such mundane problems to a grander transnational vision (global warming, migration and the like), while dispatching American military might to quell ``teacup wars'' in places like Bosnia. On June 19, 2000, the Clinton administration solved the rogue-state problem by abolishing the term and replacing it with ``states of concern.'' Unconcerned, the rogues prospered, arming and girding themselves for big wars. Which are now upon us. On Sept. 11, the cozy illusions and stupid pretensions died. We now recognize the central problem of the 21st century: the conjunction of terrorism, rogue states and weapons of mass destruction. -Charles Krauthammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missionary Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 --Iraq: Saddam continued defying the world and building his arsenal, even as the United States acquiesced to the progressive weakening of U.N. sanctions and then to the expulsion of all weapons inspectors. What arsenal? Nothing was found. Or have you not accepted that fact yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
