I'm sorry but I have to agree with him.
I was stongly anti-war. I didn't think a third world country pushed deep into poverty by UN sanctions had the where with all to develope and build weapons of mass destruction. I reasoned that secular authoritarian regimes like Saddam Hussein's were anathema to islamic miltantants like Osama bin Laden and, so, there was no way that they had any kind of alliance or cooperation going. I noted that the only islamic terrorists in Iraq were in an area outside of Saddam's controlled, an area controlled by the US's Kurdish allies and, therefore, any area which fell out of Saddam's control was fertile ground for the rise of more islamic miltant terrorists.
I thought all this was becoming evident even to the American people with the propaganda being spewed out by the MSM/SCLM. The election was the American people's chance to denounce the whole thing. (As well as their chance to renounce torture, crony capitaism, etc.)
The morning after the election my though was the same as the headline on that British newspaper, "How can 59 million people be so studip?"
That is why I have to agree with Bush on this one.
