Wonder why Afghanistan got a repreive for military aid....and that great super power East Timor that we allowed to be invaded and it's people slaughtered..... and I'm sure any country that sided with Bush in his war of LIES..... Bush is now running scared.....and well he should be..... even the enlisted men are sick of dying for his revenge of his father's failed war.....they will both meet their Waterloo in Iraq CC

Good point. Since Al Gore was in a position to know that terrorism was our greatest threat at the time(intelligence briefings) why did he & his best friend Bill not take pre-emptive action before over 3,000 Americans were incinerated? GWB was in office less than 9mos when 9/11 occurred--give me a break, he hardly had time to find the men's room at the White House. Clinton=8yrs; Bush=9mos, yet to your mind it was Bush's lapse. Possibly you are judging all events through a sharp left-facing prism? Is this your view of the world if Afghanistan & Iraq had never happened? First, all Mid-east countries would now be our friends since we were so understanding about that slight blow-up on Sept 11, 2001? Second, Saddam Hussein would have seen the errors of his financial backing of terrorists & cruel dictatorship resulting in his voluntary retirement in order to write bestseller novels? Third, al Qaeda terrorists would have turned in their bomb making equipment, U.S. pilots licenses & entered as a body into a Miami Monastery, having converted to Christianity? Fourth, as a result of all of the above, the US stock market & economy in general would have sky rocketed and we would no longer disagree about GWB's accomplishments since you would have re-registered as a Republican super voter?
