The Great President Bush

[Col Forbin]

Great post Tom, very well put and true. One other thing these swinging &ic! liberals can't admit is we have NOT been attacked since 9/11. I guess the radical MUSLIMS quit trying, lol.

I don't recall getting attacked that often prior to 9/11. I think that is a lame reason to call him a great or even good president. He was president during the worst attack in history, if you credit him for not being attacked after 9/11, then by that reasoning - he should get the credit for being attacked. I am not saying it his fault, only that your logic behind that argument is flawed.

President Clinton screwed up on a personal level. But on a professional level he was and still is respected around the world as a great leader.

I will go as far to agree that he has been a mediocre president. But considering the position and the responsibilities that go along with it, anything less than good is a failure.

Col it was your beloved Bill ''Pants around his ankles'' Clinton that is to blame for 9/11. He had Bin Laden and let him go. Also there are tapes you can see where Oliver North warned about Bin Laden and how dangerous he was and your stupid idiot Al Gore laughed at him and made jokes. Oliver wanted to go whack the guy with an assasin team but OH NO you can't do that, that would be against everything you LIBS stand for. If you are even hinting that 9/11 was Bush's fault you my friend are well, I won't say. I'm done talking to you Col because I'm not politically correct like Devil's Horse and I'm fixin to loose my cool with you and tell you what I really think so I'll shut up now. Oh wait, I can here know1 getting ready to step in and warn me about personal attacks, lol.

Take it easy. I never said it was Bush's fault. ALl I said if you are using the arguement that he is good because there have been no more attacks while he was in office - it is simple logic that the same would be true that he is to blame because the attack happened while he was in office. I am not laying blame, I am just saying by logical deduction the argument could go both ways. Many factors went into the attack, as well as what went into the raising of national security. Yes, the Bush administration did increase National security. But he had no choice, and any administration would have done that. The lack of something happening "attacks" do not make him great. I am sure if a democrat president had been in office during the last eight years, every single one of you would be in here bashing that administration for the same actions as the current one you are praising.

If he (Bush) was so great, why does McCain not have him supporting him at his rallies. McCain, and the rest of the GOP, want to distance themself from Bush as much as possible. This is his own party. Doesn't sound like the GOP agree with you all that Bush was a great, or even good president. Both parties are campaigning on Change/Reform - there is a reason for that.

LOL! President Clinton...a respected, great leader! That's good stuff! Let's just imagine for a second that 9/11 happened with Clinton in office....(which isn't a stretch, since Osama and his followers had been planning this along with all the other attacks they carried out during Clinton's productive years as president).....could you even imagine where we would be now! I can guarantee you this....we would have been attacked again and again....there would have been no pursuit of terrorists, no interegations, no monitoring....we would have been sitting ducks! At least Bush did something to keep our country safe....for that, he has my praise.

I seem to remember a missle attack ordered by Clinton. I also remember the repubs claiming it was all to get people's attention away from Monica. Seems they put politics before country, again. After all, the leading repub gunning for Clinton (Gingrich) was having his own affair while he went after Clinton for lying about his affair. Face it, any more, both parties ****. Vote them all out in this election.
