Posturing during a true threat, with the inclusion of Nukes within striking distance bares absolutely no resemblence to invading a country that cannot possibly strike your soil in the best of circumstance, let alone the implications a U.S.S.R presence in Cuba would have created. By implying otherwise as a defense of Bush you make yourself seem rather silly, and do nothing to make Bush look better.
Internment of U.S citizens was a teriible mistake, as we all know. What you seem to imply is that repeating what everyone sees as a very bad move is OK....because it was done before. Your broken record of defending by comparison is getting a bit tiresome....please try something else.

I think the government has been involved in these practices in the past.

Yet...it was not policy....now was it. The Public, and indeed the world did not see us as a nation of torturers. And again..you defend these actions based on the past, whereas I am more worried about the future.

I have studied many military battles. On a comparative basis our casualties in this war are at a record low.

Heh....yeah, that makes it all more better don't it. We only lost 3500 so far, so obviously this is a GOOD war.

If you are talking about Katrina - I put the blame more on local and state government

And I put it on the Horse trader turned Emergency Manager......as well as the failures of local officials. Please don't try to tell us he was competent in one of the most vital public safety positions the Federal Government has.

Not sure this is true. Our environment is better today than it was 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago.

You obviously have no access to scientific Data, TV, Radio, or.....well.....EYES. The EPA has been castrated on many levels, the clean air/water acts are singing soprano as well, and regardless of denial climate change is a real and ongoing issue. Even Bush has flipped on this one.

I take it that you just generally hate Bush and that there is nothing he could do that could possibly please you.

No, I do not Hate the man. I find him to be a disaster as president, and worry very much about what is happening to the world my kids have to deal with. |
