Re-Election May Not Bear Bush Promises

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON - On the campaign trail, belting out promises for the next four years, President Bush (news - web sites) exudes confidence and optimism. Yet the reality of a second term is that Bush would be boxed in by many of the momentous decisions he made in the first.


The United States led the invasion of Iraq (news - web sites), so Bush now faces the task of finding a way out of the war — and living up to his promise to leave the nation as a model democracy in the Arab world.


He's restrained by two realities. The reluctance of U.S. allies to send more soldiers to Iraq makes it tough for Bush to bring American troops home any time soon. On the flip side, persistent questions about the rationale for the war make it harder for Bush to let the U.S. death toll — now more than 1,100 — continue to climb.


Having challenged the world's terrorists, Bush has little choice but to ramp up his fight against Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) and scores of other terrorists who are believed to be plotting attacks against the United States and its allies.

8. Kerry's not going to be able to make it all go away, either.

What I'm hoping for is that the prosecutor in him will be offended and he'll pick up the rocks and make the bastards crawl out into the light.

I'm anticipating 4-8 years of full employment for criminal and civil trial lawyers.

11. this just gave me a chill

snip-- Others think winning re-election would strengthen Bush's resolve — and his standing in European capitals and beyond.

"The mere fact that he's re-elected will throw real fear into the powers that be in al-Qaida, in Tehran, in Pyongyang, or wherever that this guy's still going to be around and that he's a tough customer to deal with," said Edwin Feulner, president of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative-leaning think tank in Washington.

"Bush will be more credible internationally," Feulner said, "and the Jacque Chiracs of the world will not be able to take the cheap shots at him that they have in the past."

Good God what a horrible thought. Do they really believe if he wins again that it will give him stature in the world community? I fear what it would do is to make us all look like complete idiots and lose the last shred of our credibility for years to come.

13. Four more years of Bush will prompt the whole world to turn against the US

The world is watching this election very closely to see if the US has any sanity left. A Kerry win means yes, we do. A Bush win means no, we don't. If Bush wins, the world will act fairly quickly in the aftermath to undermine our economic, and in turn, our military superiority. Many countries will probably begin to pursue trade in Euros over Dollars, which will have a catastrophic impact on the US economy.

Feulner is full of shit. The world doesn't respect Bush now, and it will grow to hate him -- and us -- if he wins this election. They want to see the good people of the US send him back to his fake ranch in Crawford, Texas.
