3. Aw c'mon
Give him the benefit of the doubt. He would like to believe he has made us safer. Alas, this is the big show and a little pissant whose most perilous adventures involved cheerleading can't be expected to do anything except, well, what he has done.

Which is to say, blow our lead big time. We're now over-exposed, poorly positioned, and increasingly politically isolated. If that makes us safer in any way, I gotta admit I don't see it.

6. He hasn't made us safer...well on second thought I am less afraid
of Grandma's trying to kill me with nail clippers while flying on a plane. I probe people to see what they think about the adventure in Iraq. Most people don't seem to think of it at all, just going about their normal lives. Over the last couple of weeks I have a had two people say to me "I'm glad were fighting them over there instead of fighting them here". They don't understand that we are creating terrorist at an alarming rate by our actions in the Middle East and our Nations attitude in general. :spank:

8. bush* has made some Americans safer!
The bush* tax giveaway for the rich allowed the multi-Billionaires to hire more privitized police officers tp protect their gated mansions and communities.

Loopholes and lax enforcement has allowed the mega rich to move fortunes offshore where their money will be protected when the crunch comes.

12. you hit it on the head

15. Consider this...
Bush has brought "the terrorists" into every home in America. The fact that the situation has gotten to where it is right now is sad.

Osama Bin Laden has done more damage to America than he could have ever dreamed of.

Thanks George!
