I think you should start to listen to Bush instead of listening to other people supposedly repeating what Bush said. I would suggest you start with his January, 2006 TV speech. > People start to lose perspective on what >is happening and why. It really is a very powerful narcotic. People can also lose perspective if they assume that Bush is always wrong and is the cause of all ills which is the only thing you hear from his political opposition. This causes a lot of people to overlook the fact that these same politicians do not intend to deal with the threat to the nation. /BAH

Something about a sugar jag leading to them killing or at seriously injuring someone. Can't remember right off if it worked or not. Our defense attorneys are nothin' if not creative.

He's a two-faced Europeon. Do no dismiss this. It's going to be a serious problem because Europe is going to expect the US to deal with the big mess that will be made by these extremists. In their zeal to prove that Bush is bad, people who think this way will also assist in making a mess for the sake of revenge. /BAH |
