Bush is protecting the home land and bring the battle over there instead of here.
Bush wasn't protecting the homeland by attacking Iraq. Saddam didn't threaten the U.S. and he wouldn't have. Yes, Saddam hates us, but that doesn't mean he threatend us to the point of sparking a war. The attack on Iraq had no real ground and that's bullshit if you say it does. Bush saying it was because they had weapons of mass destruction wasn't proven. Attacking Iraq is fighting the war on terror? My ass it is. Saddam didn't even fucking have that many terrorists in his country, he wasn't harboring them and he really had nothing to do with them. He didn't really give a fuck about anyone else but himself and his own wealth. Bush said "Democrats call it a diversion for the war on terror yet they also say terrorists are pooring in through the borders!" maybe he was playing nintendo or something when he and his advisors told him what kerry said, because he obviously wasn't paying attention during the debate (as you can see if you watch his body language and facial expressions) but what democrats mean is that it was a diversion from the war on terror but now since the attack it has created more terrorists because they see the option to attack America. Making us safer my ass. Kerry said he doesn't want the war in Iraq, not Afghanistan, because the "war" in Afghanistan has a purpose. To fight terrorism. Did the war make Spain safer? 190 people died in the Madrid train bombings because (largely)of their governments involvment in Iraq, in supporting our country. What the hell is wrong with France having a say in what the leader of war does? If he was protecting our country against weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, and dictators why did he go after Iraq on a hunch, when North Korea came out and told us they had weapons of mass distruction? Kim Jung-il is even crazier than Saddam and he hates us more. We won't go after Kim Jung-il because we are scared to go up against some one who we know for a fact would nuke our asses. Bush is an idiot, a puppet, and an asshole.
