2. What brainwashed dweeb
would give the "war on terra" an A? For what? Saddam and Osama are still at large. The power grid and transportation infrastructure are still vulnerable. Half the world still hates us. We've lost our civil liberties - and for what? What security have we gained thus far?

Do YOU feel safer than you did four years ago?

9. Now, now, let's look at the facts
Sadaam had definite A-Qaeda connections, we found the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Tikrit, There were thousands of drones ready to take off from Baghdad airport, filled with anthrax cannisters, and the 45 minute timer was running when we found it in Sadaam's palace. Furthermore, it turns out that the anthrax mailer was Sadaam's cousin Billy Hussein. Silly liberals, dontcha know nothin'? This message brought to you by Fox News, we regurgitate, you inhale! :evilgrin:

8. Definitely an F
We're twice as unsafe as we were 2 years ago. Iraqis will want to see America destroyed for generations to come. :(

10. Failed
Terrorism and the ‘war’ on it have been going on long before this administration (See Power and Terror by Noam Chomsky). Besides that they are doing exactly what they wanted to do, make Iraq surrender their resources to U.S. control, and they will not hesitate to replace Saddam with a new dictator as long as the oil keeps flowing at what the U.S. determines is a reasonable price. Grade F (for implementing no humanitarian efforts to make Iraq peaceful)

13. Quite successful, actually
We've taken over Iraq's oil fields, made loads of money, your government over there has enacted some useful laws to crack down on unamerican dissidents, we get a wave of xenophobia so the government here can crack down on immigrants, fear and hatred are making people pliable - all in all i'd say it's going pretty much according to plan :evilgrin:

15. D, here's why it's not an F (or a D+)
Why not an F: Because there have been no reported terror attacks since (though there've been lots of incidents in the news which they stress are NOT terror attacks. Hmmmm, more suck-up-to-Bush lies?)

Why not a D+: Because some college nit-wit managed to put box cutters and goofy notes aboard planes and not get caught.

Why not higher than a D+? The extermination of (social) freedom, in the name of protecting (corporate) freedom, speaks for itself.

18. Because the terrorists are re-loading
From 1993-2001 we haven't had an international terrorist attack on American Soil, I guess Clinton done a great job. But we did have bombings of abortion clinics, Oklahoma City bombing, and others.
