As much as you can bash Bush, you have to think what he had the responsibility to do come 9/12, any president would have had to do something most likely the same, as 300 million people were looking to him for action, thing as the americans are funny as Z8 says, if he hadnt acted they would have given him ***** & now he has acted they gave him *****, he couldnt win either way
Bush was so well known for his Gaffs, I mean & no this isnt racist but he actually referred to the people of pakistan as The Paki's, seriously I watched his speech.
In his shoes I would have gone to war, he had no choice no matter which way you cut it.
But Obama I dont trust, I watch american news fair bit & he has changed his declarations more times than..........the old saying.
But one thing is for sure, he is definitely a target, they've already stopped 2 attempts on his life, now I fear it wont be the last considering the small minded people there are in the US
It will be quite an amazing thing if the 1st black president actually does a better job than any of the white ones, for me black/white/yellow/brown/pink whatever its not the colour that matters its what they do for the people is important, but if he fecks this up it will put things back a long way.
Good luck to him, hope he's not a promise the earth deliver nothing politician as they all seem to be.
