United, the free nations of the world can overpower those who would enslave the will of mankind and a team needs a leader. We are that leader and thereby must act like leaders, pushing on when others are to afraid.

how old are you ... 25? 18?
#1 The world is not "united" behind Big Hat ... it's as scared of him as you are of Saddam.
#2 Islamofascists are not going away, they can only be CONTAINED or INFLAMED.
Bush is doing the latter by making Bil Laden look like a prophetic genius.

Since 9/11 we have set an example worldwide that we will stand united against the threat of terror and that those who threaten peace will not be tolerated.

The US has brought 20 years of War to that region you moron ... we had them fighting our wars. We empowered the Taliban and Saddam once upon a time. The US is a beacon of hope ... not under Bush however. Now we are the bully, afraid and pushing around our weight , not leading anyone.
Leadership does not take moxy ... that's a myth ... it takes courage and patience. Bush lacks both.

We are empowering other nations to take the same stance and setting the example for the rest of the free world to follow. Today, terrorists are not going to be organized enough to pull off another 9/11 thanks to nations over the world uniting in a common goal - Stamp out terror wherever it is. Who was the first to call all nations to arms? George W. Bush. He's not lying when he says the world is now safer.

Sure he's lying ... ask anyone in the FBI. Before Iraq the Al Qaeda was in the 100s, now it's the 1000s.

As far as Afghanistan goes, we accomplished our mission. The Taliban had to be overthrown for us to accomplish a very important project for the future or our economy, so 9/11 was sort of a "free shot" at it. The hunt for Osama Bin Laden would have been too vast, expensive, long and de-moralizing of a campaign to fight by ourselves and the Bush administration knew that.

wow dude, you're nuts.

9/11 had thrown everyone for a loop and Bush reacted the only way he could.

Yea, he sat on his ass in front of kids for 7 minutes

Sure, maybe Iraq was a way for Bush to close the book on our involvement in Afghanistan and the fact that Bush wasn't going to carry on a lone wolf international man hunt. If you were president at the time and knew that you could spend the rest of your time in office chasing one man or make changes worldwide that would impact every terrorist organization, what would you do?

You would get that one man and the money flow, and build allies. Period. he has given every worl dleader the green light ot act irresponsibly and arrogantly ... if you want to call that leadership, go ahead, i call it irresponsible.
Clearly Iraq was on the agenda pre 9/11 ... going back to post-Reagan ... and to see othwise is a lie.
Here's
Bush's Brain ... well that and Karl Rove. They want bases in the Mid East and 9/11 was MANIPULATED by Bush. He's a traitor, not a patriot.
A President who leads with fear is a failure of leadership at the very least and Bush does this all the time (pre-Iraq, pre-election).
A President who does not ask all Americans, including the rich, for money and sacrifice in a time of war is an idiot (see: budget) Even Reagan saw that his tax cut was a failure ... but not Bush ... he has conviction! Like a child that WANTS THAT CANDY BAR!!!!
