Well, I was particlarly in reference to kids who play sports. Nevermind that, Baseball will release their steroid policy this weekend at the very latest. 'Bout f'n time, I'd say. C'mon, you didn't think Michael Jordan was just super when you were nine?
But back to Bush, he boldly responded to the recent Democrat attacks on the war and other issues, calling them partisan politics and sending mixed signals to our enemy. He made that statement in Alaska, which is conviniently located right next door to.. nowhere.
Is this guy ever in Washington? Seems like he takes a whole lot more time out for trips and other causes including vacations compared to other presidents. Meanwhile, England very well might pull their troops out of Iraq in a couple of months. I'm not neccessarily saying we should do the same thing but we need to get some wheels turning real soon strategy wise and put a dent in these terrorists because it's been the same shit for two years.
I'm not a general, but I was just wondering would it be effective to just send like 500,000 troops over there and just sweep the entire God forsaken area? They're talking about sending another 92,000 over there already. There would only be violence when there is any resistance, and that's all up to the terrorists.
I'm saying instead of just spending month after month out there wasting time while the insurgents have time to plan other bombing and shit in other places in the world why not have one or two big battles and cripple their technology and tactics. Isn't Iraq where the terrorists are centered?
We might even get back to looking for Bin Laden. Yeah, that's a name we haven't heard in a while.. He's only the world's top terrorist. We had him on the run in Tora Bora but we turned towards Iraq and prying Saddam Hussein out of power. Hell, they would probably surrender I mean, I would. But who knows what these nuts are thinking..

Sorry to further derail the administration thread to Iraq.

I don’t think you really grasp the context of what you are saying. I don’t know what you imply by area but the media and the military have been suggesting more and more that the insurgents are coming in to Iraq from abroad. So even with improved technologies I don’t think 500,000 is enough solders to sweep the world.

Terrorism is a tactic that plays on fear not brutal effectiveness. I would not say that they type of activities the insurgents in Iraq are committing in Iraq fall out side of being effective logisticly.

I honestly, humbly can not tell if you are being sarcastic. But No the terrorists are not centered in Iraq. I have heard the media suggest that a lot of the money for terrorism specifically Al Qaida (SP) is coming from Iraq, but I don’t know if that is true or not. Terrorists unlike a national military really don’t need to be centered anyplace. They can function with a network of ‘Cells’, and they really don’t need a hierarchal chain of command.

Again not to contradict you for sake of….but I don’t think that the US has stopped looking for Bin Laden. I just don’t think that committing money or large numbers of enlisted men is an effective solution to finding Bin Laden. Good intelligence work would go much further in this case.
I guess that’s how I come back to the point of this thread. It pretty obvious now that this administration can not conduct sound intelligence or special ops work when doing so does not make business sense to the administration. The people in the cabinet who may be great net workers, better politicians, and reasonable speech writers sadly have demonstrated a void in professionalism, leadership, and now simple competence.

Yeah I know the terrorists aren't just centered in Iraq I might've just expressed that wrong. I heard through the media at some point as well that there are many cells in Iraq, and Saddam was initially funding and harboring terrorists in Iraq.

The Bush "Rock the stupidity" tour is now on an eight-day itinerary in Asia. That's 7,000 miles away and he still can't escape criticism over the war. While he calls the Democrat criticism "irresponsible" and unpatriotic, it's not unpatriotic at all to question the government, especially when it comes from a fellow politician.
And Cheney flaps gums behind a microphone saying something like he's mad at all the criticism over the war and other issues, well it's because no one's buying it! Damn it's like open your eyes man!
Bush's current approval rating - 37%.
Gas prices.. surprisingly at $2.31 locally.
If I were the Republicans, I'd start bragging on the economy because it's actually not doing too bad right now despite two major landfall hurricanes and an ongoing war which costs tons of money.
