Bush and words are not friends.

And yet I think he sincerely thinks he is making the world a safer place.

However, I don't think peace and democracy can be forced upon countries with war. That's what I believe. Conflicting--oh noes.

He does, think what he is doing is the right thing. Bush is not an evil person, he's just doing what he thinks is right. not everyone agrees but he's not going to listen to a poll, he'll do what he thinks. I believe in Bush more than I do Kerry, but that's just how I feel. there's nothing wrong with thinking the way you do, its just what you believe.

Yep you're right.

And then there is Kerry, who does everything by polls. When he originally campaigned he was for the war. Then when he saw he could get better numbers with the opposite view, he flip flopped. He is pretty damn good at that. He will never be as good at following polls as Clinton was though. He was the master at that :chuckles:

Kerry had the luxury of changing his mind about the war after basing his decision off of false information, unlike Bush. Imagine if Bush, after invading and letting American men die mind you, went public and said "Oh...well we shouldn't have done that". That is political suicide. Not only would he be admitting he made a horrible decision, but he let American men die in vain. Bush's best bet now is to stick to his guns and keep true to his original story, whether he believes that or not, which in the case you claim he does.

Kerry is able to rely on the fact that his single opinion/vote didn't send Americans to war, unlike Bush. From that viewpoint, Kerry can more easily change his opinion without the blame of American deaths on his conscience.

But again, like Bush, he made his decision based on false information. Maybe Kerry, unlike Bush, was able to realize that what happened was unjustified. Actually, I can't say it wasn't unjustified because Saddam needed to be removed from power, but just that we invaded under false pretenses.

That article lost all credibility in my eyes as soon as I read it was from the Washington Post (aka the liberal bible, along with the NY Times)

I can't say I support Kerry anymore than I can say I support Bush. Kerry hasn't given a clear plan on the future. Certain things are fine not to plan, but I don't want to elope about our country's future the way he wants to.

With that said, I think Hillary Clinton would make a lot better democratic candidate then Kerry. I don't agree with her a ton, but she knows how to win elections. And when you listen to interviews, she comes across as a very intelligent person. Kerry and Bush come off as...well...confused.

I'm sure he's coming back now to "clarify" before he gets attacked by the left for making overly confident statements.

My thoughts exactly.
