pfflam your last comment make you look like a childish *ss.
Do you not believe that the State Dept. and the Pentagon inform the President of matters that raise concern to the security of American and regional affairs?
Bush did not get into office so he could face these problems the world is facing. The world has brought these challenges to the stage and President Bush as well as others are dealing with the problems directly.
You communicate more tired and worn out uneducated bigoted rhetoric.

<strong>pfflam haven't you realized yet that you're not allowed to criticize religious people or ideas? It's the new political correctness - say something critical of a religious idea and you're a bigot oppressing the religious victims. </strong><hr></blockquote>
BRussell, Look up the term bigoted. I have no problem if he criticizes religious people or ideas. I think to bash Bush over and over and over because Bush is a Christian shows a bigoted nature in Pfflam. If anyone else does the same thing I would also see bigotry in them as well.
One can argue their case without flat-out bigotry unless they really do not have an intellectual point but rather an anger filled rant.
The Nazis were bigoted in relation to the Jews and I see far too much hostility towards the idea that a President can actually be a believing Christian. People if they are so "liberal" and all should embrace all people, ideas, and religion. But of course "liberals" are not truly what they say they are they judge people worse than any other group.
Go ahead and make bigoted statements all you like. It just shows your ignorance and hate.

There won't be a war in Syria or Iran. At least not in the next two years.

Well, considering Perle feels that Iraq is a means and syria the end, I think it's clear will will see some sort of change in syria sooner rather than later.
But Iran...? well that's a very different issue.
<strong>I think to bash Bush over and over and over because Bush is a Christian shows a bigoted nature in Pfflam.</strong><hr></blockquote>I think to be bashed over and over by Bush with his Christian beliefs... I don't care/mind if he is a Christian, I just wish that he wouldn't push it down our throats so much. He is meant to be a politician, NOT a priest.
Aren't the religious "convictions" demonstrated by some of our enemies what are causing so many/all the problems (in the first place)?

<strong>Maybe we can use our puppet govt in Iraq to finish off the Syrians.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I don't know about 'finish off,' but Perle's primary goal is to change the political situation so syria doesn't challenge israel as much. A Clean Break by Perle et al

Iran may be next, but that doesn't mean war against Iran. And it doesn't mean the US acting alone. The world has an interest in what happens there, but the world may feel it should be again ignored. It could mean encouraging the democratic reforms happening now or other diplomatic solutions. So long as they are encouraged not to develop nuclear weapons, it is in the best interests of the western world. Whether the UN or the US acts to achieve this, it would still result in western influence being extended.
What Bush said is that he is guided by God and prays for guidance, wisdom and strength. Yeah, that's a Holy War....or as pfflam says "Holly War". He could at least learn how to friggin' spell his rhetorical nonsense.
Once again, the Left has no real logic or reason behind its positions. It's all "Bush is a Nazi" or "Bush hates muslims" or "Bush wants the oil". They can't just disagree, they have to verbally assassinate. They have to call the President of the US a war monger or Napolean. The reason they do this is that they have no sane reason for their opposition...it is just their identity to oppose war.
I have yet to hear a solid, defensible reason NOT to go to war. I have yet to hear one person on the Left to ask HUSSEIN to disarm to avoid war.

Of course that's taken out of context but I'm sure the anti-Bush left doesn't care.
Proper context below.

[quote]Woodward managed to get the notes from more than 50 National Security Council and War Cabinet meetings, in which, he says, Mr. Bush dominates his more experienced cabinet members Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld - and even Vice President Dick Cheney.
Woodward says the president told him that when he chairs a meeting he often tries to be provocative. When Woodward asked him if he tells his staff that he is purposely being provocative, Mr. Bush answered: "Of course not. I am the commander, see?"
President Bush: "I do not need to explain why I say things. - That's the interesting thing about being the President. - Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation."<hr></blockquote>
