1- Do you feel we were justified to invade Iraq?
Would I have done it if I were CIC given the available evidence? No. The evidence of WMD looked too weak to me. And I don't accept the Res 1441 argument. We are not the world's cop. If the UN wanted that resolution enforced, it could **** well do it itself without us.

Except, of course, that wouldn't work. The Europeans had genocide going on right in their own back yards, knew it, and did absolutely nothing until the US led them in. And you think I should give a fart what THEY think? They seem to think it would be OK if Adolph were Fuehrer of Yugoslavia.

2- If so how many American deaths would it take to make you think we were wrong in invading Iraq?
If it was the wrong decision in the first place, it doesn't take any.

It may have had one good effect though: I think the Islamic nutcases have now gotten the message that we are not a soft target that will roll over and play dead.

3- Do you feel George Bush represents America well with other nations?
That depends. Some, like the French, badly need their butt kicked. He may be the man to do it.
But you evade reality. I had 2 choices: Bush or Kerry. The real question is which was better. If I were OBL, I'd vote for Kerry.

4- Do you feel Donald Rumsfeld is the right man for the job he has?
Was McNamara?
If you were the leader of a foreign nation, would be inclined to go mano a mani with that man?
I didn't think so.

5- Do you feel Condi Rice is the best person for Secretary of State?
HTH can anyone answer that question? No one knows every person in the US and their qualifications.
Is she qualified? Undoubtedly.

6- Do you feel that there was no election fraud down here in Florida in 2000?
By whom? I saw lots of maneuvering by both sides including screw-ups by election boards dominated by Democrats. And I saw a Democratic Presidential candidate who said he wouldn't go to court to get a settlement of the election do just that. The train went off the tracks down there. Someone was going to get that state one way or another and the other side was going to be bitching forever after. You lost. Tough.

7- Do you feel there was no election fraud in Ohio this year by electronic-no-paper trail bro's?
I have seen no evidence that indicates that even if the machines did have a pre-count for GWB loaded in them, it would have changed the result. I think you are simply bitter because your boy ran the worst Presidential campaign in living memory, and that includes the McGovern fiasco that got Nixon his 2nd term. Had Kerry cheated his way into the WH, you wouldn't care.
