Dee I have to admit that "W" did say that he would sign the gun ban legislation if congress voted to continue it. I intend to investigate this a little farther and will get back to you.
As far as Afganistan and Iraq, I did not then and do not now have any problem with the fact that we went to afganistan and routed the taliban and Osamma, Yes, it was dissapointing that we did not follow through when we had them on the ropes. But I was not privy to the big picture. I am not saying that I approve of evrything we did there but I definetly approve of going there, it was after all where osamma was and the taliban was supporting him and protecting him.
Iraq.... "W" believed as did Clinton, the CIA and everyone else that there were weapons of mass destruction there. I believe that had we just went in and not pussyfooted around with the UN we would have found them. he did use them on the kurds. He also supported the terror attacks in Israel he was giving rewards to families of suicide bombers. He had tried to get nukes, the jews blew up his nuke reactor because of that. If Bush made a mistake there it was not understanding that those folk were not used to governing themselves and did not even understand the concept. So No they did not welcome us in with appreciation. that surprised me too, after all, Hussein was butchering anyone who disagreed with him. look what he did after we did not follow through under H W Bush. We have cleaned a lot of insurgent clocks there and better there than here. Say what you will, there was not a terror event here during the Bush Administration after we went there. Not sure why I just know that there weren't any I'm just not a conspriacy believer, like there were and "w" just covered it up. I think alot of it had to do with what "W" was doing to stop it. yes I know everyone yaps about the patriot act now but nobody was yapping on sept 12. we all wanted to stop that BS and I will always remember how I felt when those buildings collapsed and those people died.
And who in the hell should we have elected, Gonzo Algore, or better yet John VC Kerry. Heck man knowing what I know now i pick "W" again. Since he was all we had to choose from.
NO I'm not happy with everything that happened during his administration and Definitly not happy with the bail outs, but man i wish we had "W" to pick on now!!! I would have voted for him if he had ran this time for sure!
I'll get back to you on the same GOD thing. That smells of out of context propaganda to me!
