If Bush is serious about this "war" on terror, why don't we have a draft to build a big enough army to fight it? Why isn't he taxing the American people and calling for sacrifice to pay for it? He's always invoking WWII, but we had a draft and a 90% top tax rate to pay for that, REAL war. Americans were rationed, couldn't buy new cars, went on scrap drives, etc. Is Bush failing to lead?

but the president has gained nothing politically from this war. Sucker. You've been had, are being had and will be had in the future. RepublicanFascists have you for lunch every single day LOL. How much has the national debt increased under RepublicanFascist rule? What has happened to the price of energy? What has happened to military equipment? What has happened to private contracting in military engagements? What has happened to private contracting moving from military engagements to disaster (much more likely) relief? What has happened to oversight where where hundreds of billions of dollars go under RepublicanFascism?
