kinda don't understand what you mean.

 

meaning the anti bush crowd in here will jump on you, hopefully not though

 

The 22nd amendment makes a 'third term' illegal.
However, the world changed on 9/11, and no Administration in US history is better suited to adapt productively to those changes than this one.
Article II Section 1 of our Constitution gives us the help we need, with an Executive Order.
The 2001 Joint Resolution, in which Congress empowered the President to 'use all necessary and appropriate force... to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States,' gives the President authority to suspend elections here indefinetly or until such time as it is safe to turnover the reins of government during a war.

Like you, I agree that the United States would be endangered severely by a change of government in 2008.
The United States cannot give the terrorists such an opportunity.

 

Raoul, am I reading this correctly? You are thinking that Bush needs to stay in office till this mess improves? I was under the impression you felt exactly opposite.

 

Yesterday, I accused Bush of blowing up the WTC.

I try to be fair.
When I go to the zoo I feed all the monkeys.

 

Well, I am glad that I am not the only one with that opinion. Kinda sketchy to think what will happen in the up coming election. But mainly, I hope that hiliary does not get elected.

 

Oh really?

 

I hooked a big one!

 

I thought that the Dems had their puppet organization AKA ACLU do that.

 

So, to you, what would be the "sensible" thing to do?

Do you think that handeling terrorist attacks as a law enforcement issue is a "sensible" thing to do?

Do you think that trying to appease terrorists, and terrorists states is a "sensible" thing to do?

Do you think that trying to reach the softer side of the terrorists, to try to understand their pain, is the "sensible" thing to do?

Do you think that giving into the demands of terrorists, being intimidated by the terrorists, is a "sensible" thing to do?

Do you think the approch that Raoul has taken, to thwart innocent posters in this thread and confuse some of the more seasoned posters, is a "sensible" thing to do?

 

it was a joke, all in good fun

 

I'm done being sensible, it's wasted effort.
I'll just take an extreme view on one side or the other and see how many (X2) and high-fives I get.

I will admit that while Bush's involvement in WTC is insane, a proposed autocratic dictatorship is palatable to some. Now that's scary.

 

Let me first say that this forum is great. Esp. the fact that people can come on and freely express the way they feel about certian situations. I.E. the Fort Dix scare.

Having said that let me try to explain my view on this:

Maybe to some, the Fort Dix scare is a joke or something to come online and joke about, but to others this is the real deal. It should bring home the fact that there are people out there that want U.S. Military DEAD. To me this is far from a joke. Being a target or someone wanting you dead is indeed a scary thought. But we live with that on a daily basis. That is part of the job. I would hope that it wakes people up and realize that this Global War on Terrorism is far from over. And that daily, the terrorist are planning to kill Americans.

Now having that off my chest, Am I really the only one that feels this way or will some one turn around and make a joke out of this post.

 

You are absolutely not the only one that realizes that there are terrorists around the world that want Americans killed. I am someone who was was profoundly changed by the events of 9/11/01. I take the issue of terrorism very seriously.

You've got to realize something here. Many of us have been on these boards for years. Many of us have been through this process of sharing opinions, dissagreeing about opinions and arguing about who is right and who is wrong. We've been doind this for years. You can't continue with the same "conviction", over and over, with the same people. Humor makes it easier for us to continue to converse.

I think for the most part, people here are serious in these discussions. A lot of people hve a history here. I think if you were to look back at what people have said on varying topics, you would see that people are serious.

If you look at my post, you will see that I ask tha question: So, to you, what would be the "sensible" thing to do? I am being serious.

You are right in alot of aspects. I understand that I do not have alot of time in this forum or any forum for a matter of fact. I like this forum because generally everyone is here to help each other out one way or another. I do get FIRED UP about some issues.

Guess Its hard to figure out what people are seriuos about or not. Senior Members or Goat herders do not make it easy on us "newbies" though. And when you come across some statements it gets you going. I do believe humor saves us all. I hope to have more conversations with this crowd. Like all, I have an opinion and I choose to share it.
