I think you have confused with another post. I never said anything
about Kerry.

Bush was planning to invade Iraq from day 1. 9/11 had nothing to do
with us going into Iraq.
Read Paul Oneill's book. Long before 9/11 Bush and crew were
planning how they were going
to spin the story.

You comparisons aren't valid. Bush was planning to Invade Iraq pre-
9/11 and it had nothing to do with events that occured during his
first few months in office. It was to settle a score, get some oil
and scare the surronding Middle Eastern countries. It was a plan
cooked up by Karl Rove 10 years earlier. If Bush Sr. had been re-
elected, Iraq would have been taken long ago. All it has done is
turn the world against us and make us less secure than ever.

He also stated that Clinton/Gore were too lax on foreign policy and
that he was going to strengthen realationsships. I
guess "strenghten realationships" means "Bomb the sh*t out of them"
in Texas. Oh ya, he also said that we should treat China as an
enemy and not embrace them as Clinton/Gore did. I hate to see what
we have in store for them. Can you say NEW-CLI-ER. That's okay,
Bush can't either.
And what president wouldn't defend the United States? Any president
would have attacked Afghanistan after 9/11. I would argue that
pulling all our troops out of Afghanistan to address Bush's pre 9/11
plan wasn't the best way to protect the U.S. either. Funny how we
let the guy behind 9/11 get away yet we got the guy he tried to
borrow some kuwati Oil years earlier. I guess Oil is more important
than people.
It is obvious that you are just a Bush fan boy and that no amount of
discourse will be at all productive here so I'm going to bed.
