I don't know *loads* about Bush, hence won't comment overall. Although to respond to this query, the majority of us Brits ARE in favour of fighting Islamo-fascists, however our crappy Labour Government are scared of Muslims (they recently gave extremist Muslims £100 million to build a super mosque, even though the Govt. aren't legally meant to fund any sort of religion..)

However once this Government is kicked out of office in 1-2 years, we'll (hopefully) be back with a decent foreign policy soon..

Say Bush had of been on the toilet when he got the news instead of in the classroom. Say Bush sat and did nothing for half an hour (well almost nothing) until he came out for his briefing.


M'kay... even if I'm in the middle of a four-flusher, I think I can pinch it off if my country is under attack, and go see what the fuck is going on, and what I can do about it.

What should he have done?


Well, if nothing else, he could have put down his book, or at the very least, turned it so he wasn't reading it upside-down! :)

At that moment, no one knew that the event was limited to 4 hijacked planes. I clearly remember the people I was with, and the stuff on TV, the wild speculation as hijacked planes everywhere and possible attacks - like ground attacks.


Yup, that's certainly the way it was here in Austin. There was at least a little bit of panic about whether there would be an attack on the state capitol building (since W claims to be "from here"), or on the University of Texas, where Jenna was going to school at the time. There was simply no clue as to whether there were more planes inbound, or what.

The UK Government has made no such funding for any mosque built by any Muslims, extremist or otherwise. Also, there is no explicit rule that I know of that prevents the UK Government from funding religious endeavours. The UK Government is secular, but it's secularism is of a somewhat different flavour to America's.

Links please.

Sure if we don't get that moron Cameron in Charge. The only policy he has is "the other guy is wrong, ayup!" But hey, it was certainly enough to get a Clown elected to London mayor...

But I thought we weren't supposed to let the terrorists dictate our actions to us.
According to some on this board, Bush did exactly the right thing by not letting a terrorist attack interfere with his agenda.

I think the problem is, you actually think he DID do this...

And there you have it. This batman fantasy is what you have come to expect from reality? Are you and others such a product of a television age where you can’t separate fiction from reality, or is this just an excuse? Are you instead just jumping on the popular “Bush-hater” trend, but lack the understanding to appreciate why some don’t disagree with Bush, so you use this an excuse to following some trend?

I’m not really sure where this comes from, but I do know that of all the reasons to be opposed to the Bush presidency this is about the dumbest.

It's not that he personally could have really done anything about it, but he could have been SEEN to be doing something. Anything. One thing you haven't learned about politics: It's all about perception. If you're perceived as an idiot and a do-nothing, it hardly matters whether it's true or not. Just ask John Kerry, whom your party has portrayed as a traitor, a coward, a snob, and a fake. So your problem is that we're calling out Bush on being a do-nothing dolt, when in fact that's what he is, and always has been.

And this is really interesting, because you accept that this whole thing is a fabrication, but you can’t imagine not going allow with it. You convinced yourself that, it doesn’t matter what the truth actually is, just that the perception created by the media is the only real truth. So someone in the media created an imaginary two-dimensional perception, and you accept it and even defend it as it if is real.

That's an insult to Bushmen everywhere.

You’re welcome. It’s always a pleasure to prove someone wrong, and have them thank me for it.



You really need to workin on sharpening those reading skills, boyo.

I think BDN is right. You secretly love Bush. You’re just angry like a little kid who just discovered Santa Clause is fake because reality encroached on your fantasy world.

I like this. every time I post something, you show yourself to be more and more of a rediculouse moron. Keep it up, Finn you beautiful retard.
