I'm not sure I can support Bush any longer.
The Democrats have been attacking his National Guard service with these memos and witnesses, calling him AWOL, and now people are saying he did coke when he was on Guard duty and when his father was president. And all Bush can say in response is, "I got an honorable discharge."

If that's all he can do in his own defense, how can I trust him to defend this country?

And now that we're in Iraq, and have made a whole lot of people pissed off, we have so many more reasons to worry about defending ourselves than we did just a few years ago. Bush better start showing he can do a better job of defending himself than he has, or the terrorists are going to think he's weak, just like the Koreans and the Iranians did when they restarted their nuclear programs.

3. We're weak because our boots are fully committed to
a couple of sandy, rock strewn countries in the MidEast, and even so we're getting humiliated there because we have a clueless CiC who has never seen combat and has no idea what the fuck the price is for not having a clear strategy in those sandy dusty piles.

4. And another thing.
Doesn't Arab culture look at drinking and drug use as a sign of weakness? It's illegal according to Islam, of course, but in Arabic culture it's a sign of weakness.

It just seems he's the wrong guy for the job right now.

5. Bush is the wrong man
for any job if you check out his bio. Even the cushy board of director jobs that Daddio provided him were a farce. He couldn't sell sno-cones in hell. George Bush born without the benefits of prestige and power would be a zero. :argh:
