In my opinion, I dont think Bush has done well leading the country.  Most Americans would trust their President if he was a good and strong leader of the nation, and the free world.  As it turns out Bush is not.  He is a divider, not a uniter.  This whole Iraq problem is a result of his poor leadership.  Again, thats just my opinion.  He is a nice guy, probably funny as a loon once he has had a few drinks, but as a President he is a complete letdown for me.

The Iraq problem was around through more than Bush's term.... IMHO anyone placing the term Politician next to their name, their IQ drops dramatically (many in office can not afford this drop). I can think of only a few republicans I can say I agree with... and no democrats. Since we limit use of our resources we use in battle based on what others think, we will lose many of our soldiers. The most limiting factor of the US is it's own government and the treasonous actions of some going over seas to undermine US policy.

I am not democrat or republican... I AM American. There are very few true Americans left.... too bad!

You sound like you have swallowed the media spew hook line and sinker.
too bad ...

I do not think we can have a "strong" leader when they are undermined by the opposing party and their buds in the media.

bush has one big flaw, he doesnt communicate his plans well at all.  he doesnt 'sell' them to the country directly the way reagan and fdr did.  he also sticks with people who arent doing their job too long.

after 9/11 he had a chance to be the 'good' president bush, he had a chance to even be a great...

To his credit though, i will say - he has had a LOT of huge events happen and fall in his lap.  I imagine he has picked up the phone to hear of some new event like 9/11, the tsunami, katrina and several others and think to himself "WTF??"

We need more great orators. We need leaders who use the best words for the speech, and not the words the most people understand.

Can you imagine Clinton or Bush making any of the great speeches Churchill made?

Yes "strong" leaders here do get impeded by the other two branches on occasion.

The correct question would be:

If Bush is really fighting Al kaida - then why he isnt doing anything against the main supporter of these sunnite terrorist organisation, which killed and crippled so many US-soldiers in Iraq :

Saudi-Arabia



The Saudis are the main financial supporter of Al Kaida.

But no one seems to care about this.

Strange IMHO

I like Bush, I voted for him twice. I think he has his flaws, we all do; but if he were able to run again I would not vote for him a third time. If he pardoned the two border agents recently jailed & took the southern border more seriously (read: militarize it) & fight the war on terror to win it (read: instituted a draft on 9/12) I would vote for him again if possible. The way the federal govt. has over committed our troops is shameful; we are a country over over 300,000,000 & we should be able to subdue a country the size of Texas in a matter of days. The way he has coddled the illegals in this country is shameful too.


That's just my opinion & there are always differing ones. :aok

If we are at war with Al Qaeda, why did Bush cut and run 5 years ago in Afghanistan and declare victory? He could have crushed them into oblivion, but decided not to. Guess that's why he's "The Decider".
