False information? How so? As far as I've heard Bush was well aware of the threat, yet the only reason nothing was done was because a meeting concerning terrorism in the USA was never held before 9/11.

If Bush had taken it more seriously then a meeting would have been held, and thus a good idea on countering the situation would have been thought out. In truth, it was his lazyness and lack of dedication that caused the attacks to succeed, though I guess not many presidents would have believed one man could do so much damage to the economy, and cause such fear in the hearts of people.

Sorry about that hacker BTW; he's off my account now.

That hacker was dumb XD He sent me an e-mail saying that I sux0rz... lol

Anyway, I was talking about the intel of Mass Destruction being in Iraq... is that what you are talking about, cause I'm not talking about the intel of the threats of the planes hitting the TT's.-

Just found out some interesting news...

American President george bush is re-elected, and this made a lot of anti-bush citizens frustrated. A new book is published immediately, to teach them how to tolerate with bush for another four years.

The title of the book is "The Bush Survival Bible", with subtitle "250 Ways to Make It Through the Next Four Years Without underestimating the Dangers Ahead".

It openly tells the citizens who hate Bush that, although everyone is feeling frustrated, they need to accept the fact that Bush wins, and Kerry loses. Therefore, in the next four years, everyone needs this "bible" to counter "post-election melancholia" in the next four years.

The author of the book, Jene Stone, tells people sarcastically, "Do you feel cold? Bush brings in greenhouse effect which may keep you warm. Lose confidence to US? Better to immigrate to other countries. Wants to commit suicide? Take some anti-melancholy medicines."

Stone said, regardless how complicated your feelings are towards the result of the election, the book has effective treatments. He said, "Bush wins, doesn't mean that you lose." Because people will find hope after tolerating for 1461 days more, since bush cannot be re-elected again. but at the same time, people could only try hard to pray.

Ah, you were talking about the "Weapons of Mass Destruction"? Well, normally, you don't believe something without proof, much like the saying "innocent until proven guilty". The Weapons of Mass Destruction should be non-existant until proven to exist; no point waging a war based around nuclear warheads when there are none.

Bush was rash in his decision. He could have easily talked with Osama to settle things and end it there and then, but he carried on to form hatred towards people doing only what they thought was right; this is where the perspective of "good" and "evil" comes in (Though many believe both are evil, in their own way). Killing to avenge those killed... Is that all us humans are capable of? I believe people think of us as "superior" to other animals because of our intelligence and ability to settle things democratically; not because we can wage wars against those we dislike.

Osama is way beyond diplomacy. The guy just wants to kill Americans where they stand.

And how do you know this? If he is "beyond diplomacy", then why did he offer peace to Europe?

[Sudo]

my friend callum theorizes that there will be a nuclear war sometime in the next 4 years lol

[Thanatos]

Yep, the Apocalypse is coming. If it doesn't though...

GO HILARY!!! (even though i can't vote because I'm not in the country).

[Poke the North!]

Anyone from England watch Have I Got News For You last night? That was a great show in terms of highlighting the folly of voting for Bush.

More on topic, it doesn't matter that Osama wants peace with Europe now. Bush has dug himself a hole too deep for him to climb back up to negotiation, and thanks to him, assuming Osama gets away again through the next 4 years, it may be that no future president will be able to. =/

[Dragonair]

In addition to that I think Europe, Canada and other US allies are only guilty by association in Osama's eyes.

[Shining Dragonite]

bush is such a moron. Sure he won the election fair and square, but he won it by playing dirty; by questioning JFK's (John F. Kerry's) military service in the Vietnam War by means of the "swift boat veterans" ad. And that's just low...

BURN HIM!!!

Here's an interesting question....

If George Bush stole the 2000 election, thanks to a media frenzy, and not doing a recount...then he was president under incorrect pretences. Now, we all know that George Bush senior was a powerful man, so what's to say that he won't get another term. To explain it better would be...

If Bush didn't legally win the election in 2000, then did that term technically count? If it didn't count because it was illegal, then he could run in 2008, couldn't he? Of course they won't send daddy's boy to jail for electoral fraud...

Meh, it was just a thought, probably a stupid one too.

Though it is true that Bush just got elected for the first time, he still "served" as president, as much as he did a horrible job. No, he can't legally get another term. I think I'd go out of my mind if he were to do so. Besdies, to even pursue that Bush would have to admit that he wasn't elected in 2000, that Gore should have been the president, and that his brother, Florida Governer Jeb Bush witheld and destroyed votes so he could win. That would never happen, Bush is far too proud.
