He turned september 11th into a political campaign.

Yeah, because these incidents have nothing to do with politics.

What the HELL is the point of "the office of homeland security", anyway?

My guess is its to keep the "homeland" "secure", but I may be taking a wild guess there. Many departments were restructured to work around and within the new department, which was a necessary reorganization.

False information? Every war needs a "catalyst", which is usually propoganda or blatant lies. It's called "history". WMDs were a means to an end. What's in Iraq is an important strategical safepoint in the middle east. That and we got rid of a really, really nasty guy.

Because it's not convenient yet. But that doesn't change the fact that the UN agreed Saddam should be taken out of power, and so did Kerry and Clinton. It was just Bush's decision to uphold that.

No, we're still there assimilating it. These things don't take six weeks, which is why it's good Bush is back again.

Really? I guess that's why the economy not only has been doing better lately but the market went up hearing that Bush got re-elected. Tax cuts on capital gains and dividends == good.

Yeah, like how California is wasting $3billion of their negative budget on this useless and possibly life-destroying method? I don't have a problem if it's
not embryonic stem cell research, but still - CA doesn't need to be wasting that much money on it. And Bush isn't
banning it, he was
banning federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.

Idiotic? Unintuitive maybe, but it's designed around how our country was originally modelled - separate states forming a sovereignty, not one big federal government. Anyway, obviously it placed him into office. If kerry had won, it would have placed him into office too. You tryin' to make some sense, boy?
Anyway, I look forward to our new Republican overlords. Resistance is futile.
