A Democratic Party too terrified to confront an incompetent, criminal Presidency, thereby allowing the United States to be lead on a fool's errand of baseless war which Bin Laden wanted from day one. The enemy saw that our government was broken when no one would stop the moron.
A President so historically ignorant he announced the beginning of a "Great Crusade" in response to 9/11. The enemy gained a billion sympathies and outrages that day.
A boy who would cry wolf: A President who disgraced the United States in front of the whole world by lying about a threat. The enemy became credible by comparison in the eyes of much of the world because they were.
A President so stupid he would ignore 20 years of the best military advice regarding Iraq and Bagdad as a lethal morass to U.S. forces, and who would commit U.S. Forces where our troops were trapped and sitting ducks anyway. The enemy was ecstatic at Bush's "Mission accomplished".
A President who did not provide sufficient body armor, and properly armored vehicles to troops. The enemy was rendered effective with third world technology because Bush was too cheap to use 21st century technology.
A President who committed to his war with far too few troops because he lacked the political courage to tell a rightly skeptical American public the true cost of the war, so he went in "on the cheap". An enemy who would ALWAYS out number us thanks to this decision.
A President so stupid he declared "Mission accomplished" when he had defeated no one, but rather, the enemy had redeployed and was laying in wait to destroy our forces. An enemy who knew their trap had been fallen into.
A President who could be relied upon never to change a failing course. An enemy who could then commit to not altering their successful strategy because they didn't have to.
A President so arrogant, he said "Bring 'Em On" when the enemy was armed and surrounding his troops absent his knowledge they were even there. An enemy who knew they were going to have the last laugh.
A President who let tens of thousands of tons of high explosive ordinance fall into the hands of the enemy by utterly failing to secure munitions sites. The enemy praised Allah for the unbelievable blessing, courtesy of his making George Bush without a brain.
A President who's mendacity and refusal to adjust to reality, would result in the abandonment of the United States in Iraq by it's allies one by one. An enemy who could see it's own progress as measured by the departure of the United States supporting nations.
The deaths of three quarters of a million innocent Iraqis for nothing but LIES has "emboldened the enemy" and gained him majority support in Iraq.
Hurricane Katrina: Witnessing the astonishing level of incompetence displayed by a President who would not act to save his own people gave the enemy confidence he would not save them in Iraq either.
A President so sadistic, so disdainful of international law, that he would abandon all respect for the rule of law and human rights, and engage in systematic torture in violation of the Geneva convention. An enemy who could then rightly say to the world that he was no better than Saddam Hussien, thereby proving Bin Laden correct about "American morality" and it's respect for the dignity of other peoples. A billion sympathies again gained.
A President who removed the number one enemy of Al Qeda in the Middle East from Power, Saddam Hussien, thereby allowing Al Qeda to set up operations where they formerly couldn't. An enemy who could not only recruit, but who now had safe haven to train on the job directly in the killing of Americans.
Where's bin Laden. Following the 9/11 attacks, boy George
verbosally announced to bin Laden and Al Qaida 'you have no place to run, no place to hide...we will seek you and bring to justice... and now 5 years plus later, he is still at large...proving that the assymetric war of terrorism cannot be won with American planes in the sky.
The most wanted of terrorist is secure in the mountains of Pakistan, where we don't dare go. His number2, Dr.al Zawahiri , also wanted by the United States authorities
makes video and radio announcements regularly. Translations of his book are on sale on Amazon.com and signed editions can be obtained. But Bush can't find them.
Rather he breached International law outing elected leaders of recognized countries. Bad as Sadaam was, the invasion ( " not a war against the Iraqi people" ) crossed
lines...intertwining false information for support with
the overall global war on terrorism... and now it is the
'frontline" on the war on terrorism.
Iraq and the war on terrorism were two different things.
To restore Iraq, the people cannot find it as the battle zone because the United states can be there and is precluded by other legal obligations to not go after the true targets.
The enemies don't have to be emboldened. they just have to let the F**kup President continue draping himself around flag and in delusions of marking a settled peace through war on recognized nations and leaders. Now he wants to prove Iran is supporting terrorism.
where's bin Laden.
