“I say it has been 7 long years that we haven’t been attacked.”
Tell that to the parents of all the Americans that have died or have been badly wounded in Iraq. That 1993 World Trade Center bombing killed six people and injured 1,042. In 1998, the terrorist bombings at the U.S. embassies in Africa killed 12 Americans and injured 7. The 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen killing 17 and injured 39. In contrast, on Bush’s watch, 3000 got killed on 9/11, and in Iraq the count so far is: 4139 American soldiers killed, 30,324 wounded; 500+ US contractors killed; and 129 journalists killed, 85 by murder and 44 by acts of war, including 14 by US forces. Best estimates of Iraqi casualties put them at at least 1 million.
If you voted for Bush in 2004, you were an easily suckered fool; if you to this day think that was the right thing to do, you are hopelessly and inexcusably too incompetent and uninformed to go anywhere near a voting booth come November; and if you’re planning on voting for McCain, then you’re also planning on continuing with the degradation of US strength, integrity, influence and prestige that Bush started.
Sorry, but that is what it is.
