Do you think we'd be seeing all these IED's if Bush hadn't given Al Queda and the Sunni insurgents a Place and the Munitions (all those stockpiles of weapons in Iraq that we didn't have the troops nor the insight to guard)?

Of course. These people we're fighting aren't idiots; they developed IEDs because the materials are available and nothing else they had would work against our military.

Bush also gave us the Abu Ghraib "humiliation pictures"

No, he didn't. Some errant soldiers gave us Abu Ghraib, combined with a liberal media that made more of it than it was.

and the talk about "Bring it on".

I totally agree this talk was unbecoming, but it was harmless; has nothing to do with anything we're seeing now.

When Bush came INTO office there was a small group of Terrorists with a fanatical desire to do damage to Western Nations. When he LEAVES office there will be MILLIONS of Muslims that absolutely HATE the U.S. and the West.

Don't be a fool; there were millions of Muslims who hated the US and the West to begin with. Nothing has changed, except they are now disorganized and have not been able to mount another successful attack against us here. At this point, I would think they're waiting to see if Obama gets elected, in which case we're an easy target.

You people seem to forget WHO STARTED THIS WAR.

"When he LEAVES office there will be MILLIONS of Muslims that absolutely HATE the U.S. and the West."

Which is why we need to continue these policies. It is much more dangerous now than before...

Which is the sort of twisted "logic" that i-node and his team are using.
