Riverrat12: To Answer Your Question

[apb]

...everybody complains about the war but can't remember what happened on that Tuesday...I do...I remember standing in line with 10 other angry men all buying gun shells and praying the government would call my old a$$ up to fight the ones that basically bombed us and laughed...

Wrong war. I don't think you'll find many Americans at all who have a problem with the US going into Afganistan and going after Al Queda. Even though I did not vote for Bush, at that point I was 100% behind him. Problem was, rather than finishing the job there, getting the Afgans back on their feet, and insuring that the Taliban and Al Queda would not gain another foothold there, Bush decides to start a war in Iraq. That is the war that a number of people have a problem with. You know, that whole deal of going after WMD (should have known the Iraqis already used up all that Bush I sold them). Meanwhile, N Korean gets a nuke and Iran is hot after getting one....

...I know since 9\11 we haven't been attacked again ...

So the anthrax thing was not an attack? How many times were we attacked before 9-11, on our own soil? Guess I just don't get this arguement. Worse attack on American soil EVER, and the adminstration who was in charge at the time is going to keep us safe?????

I see a number of people stating that as soon as a Dem is elected, taxes will increase. Question for you, how else do you plan on paying for all that Bush and company has borrowed while on their little spending spree? Money has got to come from somewhere, unless you plan on letting your grandkids pay for it all....

I agree with you about the terrorist attacks. It was an American citizen who bombed the building in Oklahoma City but he was still a terrorist. The same is true with bombing abortion clinics. Remember Eric Rudolph.

I'm almost tempted to say that an American terrorist ordered the attack of Iraq so he and Cheney could get their grubby hands on the oil. They are the biggest "screw-ups" this country has ever elected. I'm not to blame, I didn't vote for Bush........and to think some people did it twice. Are they gluttons for punishment?!!!

My late father-in-law (God rest his soul) used to say, "Put a Republican in office and he'll make you stand in the soup lines."

I believe 99% of the anthrax attacks where actually baby powder or some other substance , and those that were real could easily be treated with ciproflexin, and were they mailed from the middle east or within? I really don't know and we probably will never know. And maybe we learned something from Russia as far as going into Afganistan...Looking from the outside in if you knew you would have to get a large military presents on the ground in the middle east what country would you have put it in. We unfortunetly allready knew alittle about Iraq. And I totally agree with you Andrew about the cost of war. Thats what I don't get about this rebate thing FREE MONEY on another thread. What ,we borrow money from China give it away and then spend it at walmart on abunch of Chinese goods.Anyway I feel we take the fight to them, instead of waiting for them to bring it to us. just a few thoughts from a fellow fisherman. Andrew, I've heard you make some great lures where can I find them I'd rather buy them from you than from China. Chuck

I don't sell them, just make them for myself and a few friends. Stop by the Tackle making forum and I would be happy to help you learn how to build stuff.
