Half truths? Lies ? What are you talking about? Are you referring to foreign policy? Bin Laden actually was in Afghanistan protected by the Taliban, they have actually been defeated and scattered, Afghanistan is becoming a more democratic country as GW had promised.Chief Bones said:GW's problems arise from decisions that were justified by half truths and what some people have called out-and-out lies
Warmachine said:People in foreign nations and especially the muslim world keep hearing of these horrible reports from gitmo and are wondering why america would say one thing and do another
WarMachine said:That and i don't think clear and present danger is really the way to put it. Remember it was coined during WW1 when there were all sorts of anti sedition laws out and the government was justifying limiting people's rights for the war period. I don't this America really ever had a clear and present danger since it was usually more complicated than that, even the soviet union. Maybe the pearl harbor attack but it was a surprise and thus not clear and present.
But yeah, Bush just made up excuses to invade a country unilaterally that is now causing this administration and the rest of the country international scorn.
