to our Saudi Allies.

I thought that all terrorists attacks worldwide had ended because we had managed to draw them all to Iraq and trap them there fighting our troops.

Why can't you just say, "Good job, Saudi Arabia" or something like that, instead of taking this thread as an invitation to bash America, Bush, or his policies? The topic of this thread is that 171 terrorists were captured by Saudi officials. If you want to knock on Bush or America or both, there are PLENTY of other threads that you can stomp on. I dont understand the strong urge or yearning that people have to insult America in any way they can. Why can't you compartmentalize the issues and events enough to see that a Bush-Bashing session is not on the menu here?

And, to Saudi Arabia, good job.

Great job Saudi Arabians. Continue to take the utmost care to protect your own.

I don't think you quite get it, Spanky. As long as the Demopublicans are in the White House, there is NO "good news." I think you need to get with the agend...err...program, before the thought police come get you.

Good Job Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi's captured these terrorists the proper way, prevented an attack, and didn't need to start a war to do so. This is a great example of what the United States should be working to do.

One other piece of information for you. Bush does not equal America. Bush sucks and America is great and there is no contradiction whatsoever there. And when Bush is gone and the neocon beliefs are relegated to the trash heap of failure, temporarily dragging the republicans out of office with them, the greatness of America will be evident.

Who said that? And when? Give us the quote?

Spanky, you must know by now that the Dems hate Bush and they will take EVERY OPPORTUNITY to make everything about Bush. Unless of course, it's good news and they'll pass on that one. Like for instance, the very fact that in almost 6 years SINCE 9/11, we have NOT had any al Qaeda attacks inside America. Even though we know they have some cells here. Nope, Bush gets no credit for that from these guys.

Tenet said the other day that he is actually surprised that al Qaeda has NOT set off simultaneous suicide bombs inside our country's shopping malls. THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT---and it's because of all the changes that Bush's administration has put in place to make it MUCH MORE DIFFICULT for them to pull something like that off.

And I can guarantee you one thing: IF the Democrats are lucky enough to take over the Executive branch in 2 years and IF they do what they say they'll do-----weaken the Patriot Act to the point it isn't effective, do away with the NSA spying programs, and gut the CIA again----and another attack occurs, there will be HELL TO PAY. At that point, it would be a long, long, long time before Dems are ever in power again. It will be their downfall. Putting us back to pre-9/11 status would be a terrible idea.

So the 8 years between the 1st WTC and the second must be a incredible acheivment for Clinton since Bush is to get such great laurels for staving off the terrorists for 6 years. Clinton so far did it for 33% longer Bush has.

And actually having the FISA court approve wiretaps is not a hinderence to our safety, just a protection of our rights. And the few provisions of the Patriot act that need to be modified by the Democrats are not a hinderence to our security either.

And all the sweeping credit you give Bush for "all the changes" the Bush administration put in place is almost funny. ANY administration would have tightened security after 9/11. And the fact that we haven't implemented many of the security reccomendations around ports and chemical plants is not a record Bush should be proud of.

You may think democrats blame Bush for everything. But you give Bush credit if it is a sunny day.

Personally, I would love to say "Good job, Saudi Arabia", but when I think about 9/11 and realize that most of the terrorists were Saudis I just can't do it. As for Bush bashing, I just want to say, "What policies?"
