Let's be fair...what has President Bush accomplished during his term?

Whoops!~

Al Qaeda's communications network was severely disrupted, he said. Operatives could no longer use satellite phones and had to rely on couriers, although they continued to use Internet chat rooms.
    "Before September 11, we could dispatch operatives with the expectation of follow-up contact, but after October 7 [when U.S. bombing started in Afghanistan], that changed 180 degrees. There was no longer a war room ... and operatives had more autonomy."

Not so much. There is no timeline for the second of the airliner attacks. Then there is also the question of, were any of his statements truthful? May never know.

During the Clinton administration budget increases were in double digits.  During "W"'s adminstration, war aside, spending increase has been in the 5-6% range for the first couple of years, going towards a freeze of late.  
 

But non-war-related spending is still up accross the board. The Clinton administration used to ask for a 20% increase and then get a 15% increase and call it a cut. Its all smoke and mirrors. Spending is up. The authority of the feds versus the states is increased. Wire-taps, and internet spying by the govt is up. Habeas corpus has been suspended. I could go on and on.

Again, don't misunderstand me, I'm voting for Bush because I know Kerry will be worse. I just regret that I have not been able to vote FOR a president and can only vote AGAINST one since 1988.

PS...I have been a registered Libertarian since 1988.

And, as we all well know, all Middle Eastern Types just have to be rounded up...kind of scary to have anyone just disappeared like that, IMO.

I'll concede that point.

Mr.Black!!!! welcome back I personally have so missed you!!!  Please do tell of these marvelous three businesses.  Need any investment money for a fourth?

You must be a genius. How did you manage to recover so quickly after "divorce and the poverty that you found yourself in as a result"?

Spending is up

War aside, there is practically a freeze on spending..I just don't know how to be any clearer than that.

And...the extreme measures taken since the buildings were knocked down required extreme circumstances for public tolerance. It's a catch 22 if you ask me.

His name is Padilla. He was labeled as an enemy combatant, and imprisoned without trial or even formal charges against him. The Supreme court probably has some more to say about this case.

Well, he convinced me to restart my Navy career when he gave that speech at the WTC.  No, it wasn't 9/11 that did it, it was listening to his speech that motivated me.  Now, almost 3 years later I definitely don't regret my decision.

I am glad that we agree then that Bush has made some major advances against terrorism.

I bought a book about Clintons achievements against terrorism, all the pages were blank.
