THE BUSH DOCTRINE

[SyberBitch]

I'll giv'em this, our country has not been attacked since we got punched in the nose on 9-11.

I certainly hope that trend continues over the next 4 years.

Our country hadn't been overtly attacked for 50 years prior and I give GW full credit for pissing off everyone enough to cause us to get attacked on 911. Truth is, under his presidency, our country was acting like a big arrogant bully pushing all the other kids around on the playground.

Only difference, is after 911, the bully started wearing a cup.

Totally disagree. Bush had only been office 8 months when that happened. Prior to that, we had the hostage crisis in Iran, the embassy bombings in Beiruit, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania , and Nairobi, just to name a few. All linked to al-qadea, or Hezbollah. Shit, the fuckers tried once at the WTC back in 93. These pricks have had a hard on for us way before Bush.

Edit: Dont get me wrong, the Bush administration has defo fucked up, no doubt about it.

'Only' 8 months? That's most of a year. A lot can happen in 8 months.

OBL stated several times that it was US 'support' of Israel that caused the 911 attacks.

But can you name one attack on the USA, or it's interests, since 9-11?

There have been plenty of attacks, though no major ones on the scale of the 911 incident. Many of the smaller attacks are thought to be linked to terrorist groups, and some have even been claimed by groups such as the Al-Queda, but afaik the links have not been proven.

For sure, the number of attempted terrorist attacks against the US has risen since 911. If Bush had not eliminated some of the security practices already in place (such as the one where he made it easier for Saudi Arabians to get Visas), 911 may never even have happened. That was just sloppy on our country's part.
