Tpay,
That was an excellent post!!! Bush wants to "bring it on," as long as he and his family are not the ones to die.

No doubt, Bush would make much different decisions if his children were the ones on the front line.

You guys have small brains. If we had a president run this country (military) based on how he would feel if his kids potentially would have to serve, we would all be f u c k e d as a safe country.

This would probably happen if we had an emotional, non-logical woman running the show. Scary thought

you can't be emotional when defending a nation. strategery and logic is key. Not: what if my boy maybe has to go there...
It should be an obvious point.

But you have to be emotional when deciding whether a defense is necessary.
Treat your neighbor like you want to be treated is a great rule of thumb.

Iraq never attacked us. We attacked Iraq, and we attacked them based on emotion. An emotional president convinced an emotional public that Saddam Hussein was somehow linked with Al Queda.

The President has to make decisions based upon the greater good of the country, rather than the greater good of certain individuals. If war-time decisions were always made with the ultimate goal of zero U.S. deaths, then we would never engage in war. We'd be a pacifist country. The Prez has a tremendously tough job, obviously. He has the power to put soldiers in harms way so that greater goals can be achieved.

President's kids should not be above sacrifices for the greater good of the country.

Philly, please stop reinventing history. Bush never said saddam had anything to do w 9/11. That is liberal bulls hit. Find me a transcript and prove me wrong. Otherwise stop lying through you teeth old man.

One would hope President's kids that ride in White House limos would agree with their father and volunteer for the military to help do the honorable and right thing their father believes he is doing in Iraq.

I believe in the effort but I didn't enlist. What does any of this have to do with the price of tea in China? This 'send your kids to war if you believe in the war' is a childish argument with no basis in our laws or reality.
Let's try to be grownups now.

Bush Reasserts Hussein-Al Qaeda Link President Draws Distinction Between Involvement in 9/11 Attacks, Other Contact www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A48970-2004Jun17.htmlHow about a White House press release? Do you consider that a reliable source? We've learned that Iraq has trained al Qaeda members in bomb-making and ... www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021007-8.htmlAnd please tone down the rhetoric and name calling. I do not call you names. Please show me the same courtesy.
