I am astounded by liberal's inability to ascertain a situation and can do nothing but whine and point fingers (similar to an 8 year old). For some reason they can't grasp the fact that these militants were not conscripted in to an army, handed a rifle and ordered to charge the front line. It never dawned on them that these guys WANT to and go to great lengths to joint these groups, kill everything in their path and blow up whatever they can find and strip people of their freedoms all in the name of Allah.
Rather then just dismiss what you don't agree with, take a step back and consider the situation. Bush is just dealing with a situation that Bill Clinton chose to avoid. It's messy, it's costly, people get killed.
We have not had an act to terrorism since 9/11 under President Bush and that is no accident. The US government actually has done a good job in this area which I'm sure you’re loath to admit. On the domestic front is another matter as evident in our downward slide as we become a broke second tiered country with a bunch of citizens demanding more entitlements.

It's apparent you cannot make the distinction between a war fought between countries with armies and a police action against and armed group of religious fanatics bent on forcing humanity to submit to their way of living and believing.
Mean while you live in a country that is kept safe buy US soldiers who risk their lives to ensure you have the right to speak in your very narrow terms.
Using "Ponzi scheme" which was a ruse to swindle investors using US postage stamps to describe what is happening in the world is pathetic. Now go stick your head back in the sand so you don't catch a cold.
