5 Tough Questions for Mr. Bush

by Alex Hamilton

Imagine having the chance to question Mr. Bush at the presidential debates?

Mr. Bush, you have had your way with this country for 4 years, and now I want explanations in rigorous detail. I will not accept rhetorical answers, the American soldiers that died believing in you, and those who will inherit this country deserve better than that. I want to get some real answers, no buzz words, just facts.

Question 1:
Mr. Bush, time and time again you claim that the war in Iraq has made Americans safer at home. What empirical data do you have to back up this assertion? I will present you with one of your recent quotes and then, several quotes from respected centers of strategic analysis.

Question 2(two parts):

Scenario 1: ( Iraq possessed WMD)
Given that Iraq possessed WMD and yet none have been found, please explain how Americans are safer with the missing weapons possibly in the hands of rogue states or terrorist groups.

Scenario 2: ( Iraq did not possess WMD)
WMD would be the only plausible threat posed to the United States by a nation such as Iraq . Please explain how Americans are safer now that we have our military, our coffers, and our international prestige so heavily invested in Iraq , given the fact that Iraq did not possess WMD.

In summary, given the above scenarios, either Iraq possessed WMDs and we now face the danger that those weapons have fallen into the hands of possible terrorists, or they did not have WMD and we are in an unnecessary war. Please explain this paradox.

Question 3:
Why has your administration failed to act decisively to find who leaked the name of Valerie Plame to the reporter Robert Novak?
