Ray: I have a comment on 9-11 and wasn't sure where to post it. Since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have started we as Americans have not had any planes hi-jacked and flow into any of our cities and possibly killing thousands of Americans on our own soil. All you here about is the situations going on in Iraq (both of my son went there as soldier) and Afghanistan. The focus should be on: If we didn't go to Iraq and fight terrorism, how many more American lives could have been lost here in America. The fact that 9-11 has not been repeated because of the actions of George Bush, has been sweep under the rug. I feel that this is a huge sign of the victory that we are having because of our actions in Iraq. Does this make since?

Hey David,

You feel this way because you are a clear thinking American.

George Bush has many faults as our President, but he has certainly kept America safe since 9-11.

The left thinks Bush has made us less safe because they think we should be singing kum ba ya with Biden Laden and all the other whacked out terrorist.

The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

That may sound harsh and maybe it is, but I am not interested in hearing from any of the looney lefties who think we caused 9-11 with our policies.

I think many on the left would just as soon give the keys to the White House if it kept us out of a war.

There is an old saying, "I would rather be dead than red."

I personally have no desire to live in a nation where freedom is not celebrated and one is allowed to determine their own fate.

If we give the keys to biden laden to avoid a fight, we will live in a nation that no longer values anything.

There are some things worth dying for.

Faith, family and freedom are three of them.

'George Bush has many faults as our President, but he has certainly kept America safe since 9-11."
Ray if you believe that then there is no hope for you.
Tell that to the over 3000 soldiers who have died under his command. There is no definitve proof that w's actions have made us safer or not. If W had paid attention in his first 10 moths we may not have had the attacks we did.
I suppose if Obama gets elected and we are attacked Nov 5 th you will blame it on him.
Actually if we were attacked tomorrow you would blame it on the fact that the dems are in majority in congress.

OBAMA 08
ps did you notice that during Obamas 30 min speech he did not mention the other guys once. That is called a positive campaign, something Big mac should have figured out earlier
