Why is it
according to bush anyways, that in order to look good to the rest of the world, as some sort of peace gesture, we have to give up 6 ports...I mean isnt there some other way of spreading good will to other countries without giving up our ports to them? Or I know...maybe if we didnt piss off the rest of the world with pre-emptive war against innocent countries we wouldnt have to give out this good will...er i mean our ports.

1. If this doesn't
show Bush ineptitude at fighting terrorism, nothing will.

3. right
but they are saying - bush anyways - that this would send the wrong signal at a time that we are trying to spread good will or some crap like that. Screw the good will. I want our ports back in American hands where they should be - not UAE and no, not even British!

4. So he wants to spread good will - offer a peace gesture? How about
getting out of Iraq? Why would anyone believe that peace is th "War President's" motive?
