Now he's asking Congressional Democrats for help. (Score:1)

I love my country and our soldiers, and I want the best for the US. Having made that declaration, the cold truth is that the US is fighting the wrong war in Iraq now and it is a quagmire solely because Bush ignored the advice of Democrats in Congress as well as the UN!

As Gephardt said, �This president is a miserable failure� and as Kerry said, �It is time for regime change in the US�. Graham had this to say, �I voted against the resolution to go to war in Iraq. I�ll tell you why: I�ve looked at all of the evils in the Middle East and in central Asia and I concluded that the greatest evil in terms of capability of killing Americans was not Saddam Hussein but al Qaeda and the other international terrorists. We moved intelligence and military resources out of Afghanistan to begin the war in Iraq. We�ve allowed al Qaeda to regroup, regenerate, and now conduct a series of very sophisticated terrorist attacks�.

None of these comments are treasonous, as GOP operatives would have us believe, since they are factual! The fact that bin laden released a tape on 9/10 2003, proves the fact that Bush diverted us down the wrong path. If we had continued trying to get him, he�d be unable to be a threat.

Bush is adopting the policy that the Democrats had prior to this war. He accused them of being traitors! My philosophy 101 course would argue that if you follow this hypothesis to its logical conclusion then he has to accuse himself of the same.

It is not just Democratic Presidential candidates who have terrible remarks to make about Bush. From the article, �Foreign Views of U.S. Darken Since Sept. 11�, �The US once hoped to develop closer relations with Indonesia, the most populous predominantly Muslim country, but respect for the United States among Indonesians has plummeted. Protesters gathered last month with signs saying, "America go to hell" and "Don't mess with Islam." Every Islamic has experienced an increase in hatred for the US, and the Iraq travesty is a principal factor in developing this hatred.

How about other countries, including our former allies revised opinion of the US? In a further quote, �To some degree, the resentment is centered on the person of President Bush, who is seen by many of those interviewed, at best, as an ineffective spokesman for American interests and, at worst, as a gun-slinging cowboy knocking over international treaties and bent on controlling the world's oil, if not the entire world.�

"I think the turnaround was last summer, when American policy moved ever more decisively toward war against Iraq," said Josef Joffe, co-editor of the German weekly Die Zeit. "That's what triggered the counter-alliance of France and Germany and the enormous wave of hatred against the United States."�

What happened? We were tracking bin laden down, remember �our Crusade� to get him �dead or alive� and all of sudden all of our resources left Afghanistan for Iraq. Prior to Junior�s detour into stupidity, all he said was �bin laden� and abruptly it changed to �Hussein�. WHY?

We have all heard about how Pakistan�s ISI would never capture bin laden. Why then did the Bush team cooperate with them? The Bush Administration consciously took the decision in �the post September 11 consultations� with Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad, Pakistan�s chief spy, to directly �cooperate� with Pakistan�s military intelligence (ISI) despite its links to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. The Pakistanis feared that to capture or kill Bin Laden so soon after a deeply unpopular war in Afghanistan would incite civil unrest in Pakistan. So, we weren�t actually going to get him �dead or alive�, but Bush never told us.

In a Times of India/Guardian department article of August 23rd, 2003, �Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has struck a deal with the US not to capture Osama Bin Laden, fearing this could lead to unrest in Pakistan, according to a special investigation by The Guardian. The paper reported that Bin Laden was being protected by three elaborate security r
