    What good is it to be protected inside your house if you cant even go outside.


    I feel just as protected outside as I do inside. even in the 61 story office tower I work in. thanks to Bush.


    who is stopping you from going outside anyway?

    excuse me allow me to be more clear. I was refering to islamic terrorists. they seemed to be more organized and dedicated then the Tim McVeighs of the world.

    and to keep in line with this thread. Bush has prevented them from attacking us again on our soil.

    Prove it. Show me how he has made us safer, because to be honest, I feel a lot less safe these days.

    proof? no attack since 9/11. thats my proof. its just like the economy example.

    god forbid we had been attacked lets say 3 times since 9/11, Bush would be an asshole for not making us safer.

    good economy - not becuase of bush
    bad economy - all bushes fault

    no attacks since 9/11 - not because of bush
    post 9/11 attack in US - bush didnt protect us.

    What i was trying to say was, that yeah there havent been any attacks on US soil since 911. but because of Irak people around the world are pissed at America. So you might be safe at home but abroad people hate you. it is isolatioalism. type of thing paranoid poeple do.

    6 months ago I travelled to italy, amersterdam, and london. I didnt feel threatened at all.

    remind me not to travel to pakistan, I might agree with you.

    Sorry man, I don't think "no attacks since 9/11" classifies as him making us safer. It was 8 years before he took office since we were attacked, it's been five. I think the Intelligence Estimate that came out last week shows that the War in/on Iraq is making us less safe.
    The idea of actual attacks not happening makes us safer isn't anything near what you think. He is doing things that in the long run, make us less safe.

    I think the logic involved here is paramount to the logic, "Mexico was never attacked by Muslim Fundamentalist... therefore, America should be more like Mexico".
    Both statements are invalid.

    yes in the long run, after he is out of office and cannot be blamed for anything.

    I'm pretty sure he will get blamed for a lot of things once he is out of office, and he deserves it

    look, I by no means am happy with the whole Iraq thing. we may never well be fucked in the long run, I dont know. time will tell. my point is Bush has made us safer here at home. actual attacks have been prevented.

    Does anyone think that Al Qaeda... or any fundamentalist terrorist fuck gives a shit who is President?
    The results of the Bush Administration... the attacks that are in the planning stages as we speak... will not be made for another 2, 3, 7 years or so. Just like we are now feeling the side effects of sleeping with Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in the 1980s.

    What good has Bush done in office? Well, he's gotten me a lot more interested in politics than I used to be.

    We'll see. Of course, even if I did make a difference, you'd have people from all corners deciding whether it was positive or negative. I wouldn't get to make that call.

    He got all the corporate criminals in America together under his command, so we know where they all are.

    He proved that an infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters will eventually recreate the entire works of shakespeare.

    He proved one monkey can become president of the most powerful nation in the world.

    He proved power corrupts.

    and

    He proved democracy is fallable.

    ok...

    since bush is responsible for keeping us safe since 9/11, he is also responsible for the attacks of 9/11...

    you see, you can't have both...if you are going to give in full credit "keeping us safe", then he deserves full credit for the event on 9/11....

    relax...I did try to explain it, but I'll try again...

    you say: bush is responsible for the fact the US has not be attacked...

    I say: if bush is the person responsible for keeping us safe, then he is also responsible for not keeping us safe on 9/11...you see, you can't have just one...

    not keeping us safe on 9/11 is alot different than your original post of saying bush is responsible for 9/11. see the confusion?

    dont try to make me look like some dipshit.
