Can you guys come up with at least UNIQUE arguements?
The "lets start a war on foreign soil so people don't realize how bad things are in the US" is old, worn out, and holds NO water in this case!!
Bush is doing the right thing, he is taking enourmous risks for his political future ( which is the bravest thing any politican can do), to doubt his motives is shameful. The post 9-11 world is a different place, Bush is doing what it takes to make ALL of us safer ( even those who question his motives) amazing how many of you are just wanting to stick you heads back in the sand. Maybe we can get you all ruby slippers so you can click them together and go back to Kansas....
About supporting troops, but not the President/War, etc.... please refer to Buffs post

Oh yeah and I DO beleive in your right to voice and state your own opinions, I may not agree with them, but will always support your right to say, think, do whatever you want. If we all agreed on everything, life would sure be a boring thing!!

Mike, I know you think it's worn out but it's a valid concern. How the fuck are we supposed to pay for this? We're in deep financial trouble as a country without the additional costs of this conflict.
There was a time, right after 9-11, where people the world over actually finally cared about the US. And then Bush and his administration started talking, and the things they said made us once again look like bullies who think they know best what's right for everyone else in the world. That REALLY bothers me. We know that Saddam Hussein isn't a fair representation of the normal Iraqi citizen (mostly because he's a fucking psycho), but people in other countries believe Bush represents the American on the street. He does NOT. Most people I know can properly pronounce "nuclear," for one thing.
I couldn't care less about his political future; I didn't want him in the first place. He's too stupid and narrow-minded to represent me. He's not scoring any points by ignoring everyone and doing whatever the fuck he wants. He will never be what I consider a great, or even a mediocre, leader.
As for making us safer, I don't believe that for a minute. In fact, this whole thing is just adding fuel to the fire for the militant jihadis. And where the fuck is Osama? Why didn't we accomplish THAT objective before getting involved in something else?
I agree to disagree, of course. Because I like ya, and I definitely respect ya.
