P.S. Bush captured Baghdad in less time than it took Clinton to capture Waco, TX. think about that

Well, his men entered it.  Three years later he's still in the process of "capturing" it.

Well, well well, here is something we can all stand and applaud. Most of us I imagine, have been harboring the misconception that it takes a man or at least a person with intestinal fortitude to oppose and post against another by addressing the one you post against.. Sort of confronting them face to face.. Well we were all wrong. here we have the proof that the courageous don’t even mention by name those whom they oppose but slyly attempt to slide a poisoned pen into their opponents ribs from behind and then hiding again....

I have news for you boy.... Your poison pen underhanded techniques

John,
But you leave yourself open to an issue. If President Bush used the same "burn down the mission", mentality in Iraq he would have turned the desert into glass.

Actually Mod3 old bean,

I always though that the late Sir Winston Churchill made a number of perfect speeches and if he didn't then no one was smart enough to challange him about them when he was in office..

I was  referring to our current so called leader in regard to perfect speeches. But you are correct there have been several that have made impressive, moving speeches.
 
 It is a shame the current budget can not afford the  President a better author. Maybe Ron could volunteer as speech writer, now there is something I might tune in to see.

**on a side note regarding my age, you're as old as you feel. Somedays it's 95 and others it is 30'ish ;-)

Whoa, IB, my fellow award winner, incognitoinmass hasn't hesitated to address people directly all the time. You've gotta realize that for us Bush supporters, there's a whole lotta you Bush bashers out there. He could be mentioning names forever if he had to address each one of you by name. I don't think he had any underhanded motive in not addressing you and some others by name. I do the same thing sometimes when I hope to cool down the debate a bit -- sometimes I think some people are more likely to listen.

And of course, he also happens to be right, and you happen to be wrong, but the issues are beside the point ...

How I real feel about the situation in the US? Like a Roman must have just before the Visigoths came to visit. Instead of the Coliseum, I've got the Internet. (Thank you Al Gore-or are you going by 'Oliver' nowadays?) I have A full belly, a home, even a slave!

What an arogant ass you are.. If you bothered to actually read the entire post you would have seen that I commented that this was the second time he has done this... You assumed it was here and pertaining to this thread It was in fact on an entirely different matter and before the start of this thread. Not that it is of any business of yours.

As for you disagreement and final statement, it is what I have come to expect of you.. I am in a possition to know what I was talking about regarding Multinationals both here in Australia and in the USA. I still have security access to many documents and discussions of which in the past I have attended.. As far as I am concerned, you and I have nothing further to say. I'm done with you..
