"This war distracts us from every threat that we face and so many opportunities we could seize. This war diminishes our security, our standing in the world, our military, our economy, and the resources that we need to confront the challenges of the 21st century. By any measure, our single-minded and open-ended focus on Iraq is not a sound strategy for keeping America safe."

what about terrorism? do you think its not important enough to fight? The way I read it, he's saying Iraq distracts us from fighting terror in a place like Afghanistan where 9 Americans died yesterday in an attack. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080714/ap_on_re_as/afghanistan_22 |

The Iraqi people were not our terrorists. Bin Laden's gang are the terrorists. |

I do not believe the version of the Administration about what really happened on 9/11 . Too many lies and too many holes . It is a war propaganda in my view . |

France, Canada, Germany, Sweden (conservatives in power now), Poland, Czech Republic, Kosovo, Chechnya, and Albania's increase in pro-Americanism and pro-Bush leaders shed a different light on the opinion of us and Bush in the world.
As to security we have not been hit by a terrorist attack since 9/11. And, we have a highly trained military should any real world conflict arise. Battle hardened military. As to economy there is nothing earth shattering. In an economics standpoint we have not hit a recession. The first quarter was a 1% GDP growth. Better than most countries in the world, including Europe. Europe has higher fuel and food prices, and much higher unemployment. Our unemployment, with 5% being considered full employment, is just slightly higher than that. The economy is not good, not good at all, but most of the world economy is pretty crappy. Economies will rise, hit a ceiling, decline, hit bottom and then rise again. It is a healthy economic cycle. It is far too early to determine what the result will be of all decisions. Iraq's economy and stability are on an impressive rise. Investment is heavily flowing into it and oil production is set to far exceed what had ever been produced before in that country. Iraq has always been a far more diverse economy than just oil as well, and should it go into full production and trade it will assist to the future rise of the world market, which will happen in time. I suggest everything not be in doomsday mode, history repeats itself, we've been in this spot before, and we will be in it again, but what follows are times that are high and prosperous for us all as well. |

First off, the country was started by WAR. It has lived and thrive by WAR. The only reason that people are emloyed and companies grow is from WAR. Your technoligy came from WAR. Don't just set on your but and complain about bush. Atleast he had the backbone to stand up to congress and senate to force them to do their jobs. The problem lies in all the politions who are just there to sweeten their pockets. Like polosi wants to tax your retirement to support illeagl immagrents so they can have a better life style. I agree with that as long as we use her retirment to do it. Time to get some honest people to speak up and run for office.
