Reversing Old Policies

George W. Bush was warned many times before 9/11 of al Queda's intentions, even one that stated clearly that they was a plot to use commercial planes. But, Bush was to busy trying to get his millionaire welfare package through congress, and vactioning (which he did alot of before 9/11) to worry about terrorist. Your comment about keeping American safe after 9/11 isn't true, as you recall the country was attack by a bio-terrorist that sent Anthrax through the US postal system killing 5 Americans. With Bush's new anti-American patroit act, it still took them seven years to think they found the bio-terrorist, and they still are not 100% certain it was him. The USS Cole bombing was left the to Bush administration to handle due to the time frame of the new president coming in. It was Bush that did nothing at all about the Cole. George Bush left this country much more worse off then when he came in, that is the sign of a FAILED president. And, in my opinion, Bush was a complete FAILURE of a president. It will be interesting to see if Obama can pull a Clinton, and fix the mess left by another republican failure.

You've got your facts mixed up here, I'm afraid. Daniel Pearl was beheaded during the Bush Presidency for one and that's a pretty big one. Clinton had had daily briefings regarding terrorism and Bush didn't continue that practice. The bombing of the USS Cole happened so late in Clinton's Presidency there wasn't any time for him to do anything about it, so it was left to Bush who didn't act on it. It was Bush who had ignored the signs and warnings prior to 9/11. No one can say for sure it was because of Bush we weren't attacked again. I'd say it's highly doubtful since they didn't plan 9/11 overnight and it's not likely they'd have planned another attack as quickly either. I know there are those who disagree with me but I believe some of bush's policies made it more likely, not less, that we'll be hit again and helped al Qaeda to recruit new terrorists. Annie

I can't get into the President's head so I have no idea why he is doing the things he is doing. You will have to ask him to get 'an answer'. I do think he is wrong in the things he's done so far. It is not in the best interest of the people to close Guantanamo because they have no plan on what they will be doing with the prisoners. They were just talking about one of the guys in there that has been water boarded. They said he could not be tried in our courts because some believe that water boarding the prisoners were wrong, so they would have to release him - something we definitely do not want. Also, most of the ones already released went right back to their terrorists ways! And, the abortion issues will never go away. I think it was horrible of him to rescind the ban that kept money from going overseas to fund abortions. There will be many killings of unborn children and it will be the Americans who will be required to give an account one day of the things we have done that are absolutely wrong. We all have free will to do whatever we want,but it's wrong for government to fund those wrong doings. I think we need to pray we never have an attack here during his presidency like we had in 2001. I shudder to think what his reaction would be.
