Great PR move indeed.
Funny that the violence against US Troops over there stopped for that time period.

what're you suggesting?

symbolic of what that he realizes that opinion is turning on him and he needs to start grabbing at anything to boost morale. remember what happened last time the military lost morale in a war zone VIETNAM.

yeah i do remember, they lost morale because they lost support from the gov't, because of the anti-war protesters, who in turn spit on them when they got home

I'm still curious to know what he meant by "Funny that the violence against US Troops over there stopped for that time period."

That it is all of the sudden so safe to send the MOST important American to a place where soldiers are dying close to daily.
Not suggesting just commenting.

Tinfoil hats for everyone!

ahh - now i understand. Thanks. If you will recall people were all over Bush on 9/11 for not running straight out to the site of the twin towers - "oh my god, the President was actually flown to a safe location during an attack"

He just can't win can he....that's why i just shake my head at 90% of the complaints about him - useless arguing about.

wait for it the anti-war protests are only going to grow the longer this war carries on for. in vietnam the morale took a beating also because the americans were getting killed but could not see the enemy to fight back, hit and run warfare, the same way things are going. don't get me wrong and think that i want this to happen to the states because i never want vietnam to happen again but the similarities are pretty close you have to admit.

I go from board to board being ridiculed yet offering a challenge to my opponents to make comments and arguments against my view/point...this never happens and all people do is continue to make jokes.

I believe his move on 9-11 was the right one, and he made it to NY when the all clear was rung...very smart. Where he went (Oklahoma) and who was there (Warren Buffet) is the next conversation.

start a thread - have a great weekend everybody
