Putin's "friendship" was another major miscalculation by President Bush. When Bush met him in 2001 he was enamored of Putin's smile. The President came home and said: "I LOOKED the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul."
Now the President is looking in the eyes of 20 million illegal immigrants and he apparently can see their souls too. It's been a very long time since a man with both brains and the ability to reason has sat in the White House. Right now I don't think either virtue exists in the WH.
I can't stand jerks that can't stop looking for every excuse to cry and complain about immegration in every thread.
I'm inclined to agree with you. The government has underestimated our old adversary and it could come back to bite us in the butt if our elected officials don't wake up.
Not since 1981-1989.
Bush's foreign policy of late (pandering to Europe and Russia/China on Iran) also indicates a turn in the wrong direction.
On virtue, I believe that Bush is buckling to liberal pressure on the Iraq war and will leave the WOT before the job is finished. He will also buckle to liberal pressure on immigrants.
If this happens, I will consider Bush to be a Democrat in Republican clothing.
For Bush to get back on my good side, he has to do three things... 1. Support the House immigration bill. 2. Reaffirm support for the war on Terror and activly promote the progress in Iraq and Afghanistan to refute the Media line, and the consequences of withdrawl... 3. Take the hardline on Iran. Tell the euroweenies off and the Russians and Chinese to stop their weapons sales to Iran.
