The biggest liar is George W. Bush. He's way craftier than Chinu. Bush says that the reason that he attacked Iraq was because of the lessons of 9-11. But there was no evidence of Saddam being involved. There was scant evidence that Saddam had WMD programs, but no concrete evidence and no imminent threat. The way Bush turned the focus of the war on terror from Afghanistan to Iraq still confounds me. The facts are that bin Laden is still planning the next attack while the situation in Iraq is bleak. The planning for the peace and for keeping the peace was not done. It's an abortion. Why we did not focus on bin Laden like a laser beam is a mystery to me. All that rattle trap about not wanting to cross the Pakistan border doesn't wash...we invaded Iraq based on the lessons of 9-11. Why not get the guys that actually did 9-11...no matter which rock they were hiding under? Meanwhile additional pressure should have been applied on Saddam, while we worked with our allies to improve the situation in Iraq. Bush has screwed up the war on terror. He's lost my vote on that issue alone. Laz, I know you agree with me on this one, and to me it's the central issue in the campaign. All the other stuff (economy, education, healthcare, jobs and energy) pales in comparison to the boners pulled in Iraq. Then when you look at the economy, education, healthcare, jobs and energy, you see that Bush has taken the country in the wrong direction in each of these important issues as well. I can't vote for Bush. I believe that Bush is bad for the nation. I believe that Kerry would be a better choice for President. Kerry has the right ideas for the economy, jobs, education, healthcare, homeland defense and the war on terror. Orca
