Convention]]> https://www.faldon.org/post/32226/#p32226 I can't really say that the President having dyslexia is a good thing...it clearly isn't...

However, I doubt that any true harm will come of it.  There are several sites on Google that claim that, because of this, Bush will attack the wrong country, et cetera, but I seriously doubt that any mistake made by the President as a result of his dyslexia would reach absolution without correction.

I really want to know more about George W. and dyslexia...

I had never heard it said that he suffered from it. If he did it actually would make me much more willing to accept his numerous slip-ups.

I just looked around a bit and saw there was some controversy over it last election that I had never heard of. Has Bush ever admitted to being dyslexic?

It makes more more accepting of him as well. As a person, not as a politician, and certainly not as the President.

Don't know if he has ever formally admitted to it, he certainly doesn't deny it. It's true, if that's what you are wondering about.

Well I had just typed out an incredibly long reply and this stupid piece of crap lost my login and returned to the login screen.  I won't bother retyping it, because it took close to an hour hmm

Lol that happened to me when I took forever explaining how Bush stole the election. I always copy my posts now.

Well don't stop there Brimmy-boy. Enlighten us as to why it's all bullshit.

To break down what I just said in order to answer this in the most simple terms:  It's bullshit because it's nothing but the same party-line they've been throwing around for a while.

But to endorse and refuse to condemn attacks on a man that clearly has a better military record than Bush

"I believe John Kerry served his country with the greatest honor possible, and he should be proud of his service."
- George W Bush.

Bush running on terrorism is almost absurdly laughable, at least from my perspective. He failed to prevent 9/11, whether you blame him for it or not he didn't stop it. I don't blame him, of course. I couldn't have prevented it, I doubt many people could have connected the dots. But he didn't even focus on terrorism. He didn't even hold a metting on counter-terrorism. He basically ignored an August 6th briefing he received entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside America". Rice said it was too vague to matter. But the point is he didn't even try, he did absolutely nothing. Except vacation before it happened, which is something I find almost completely unforgivable.

Utter and complete bullshit, at least according to the 911 Comission's report.  However, he did say it was only from his perspective, so I guess that means his perspective is for shit. (Joke tongue )

But the real sin came when George W. Bush had to rise to the challenge. He sat in a classroom for almost 10 solid minutes with a dumbfounded look on his face. No, I don't agree with the conclusions Michael Moore draws from this. Moore states that Bush was connected with the Saudis or that his "buddy" Saddam did it. I think Bush is just an impotent moron and an ignorant simpleton that can't do anything other than what his teleprompter tells him to do. His programming had no immediate response

So.  How do you know that the man didn't spend that time in thought?  But, thank you for using a part of Moore's movie, which was full of shit.  (though, little bull.)

In Afghanistan, he screwed up.

Yeah, sure.  That's why they are free of the Taliban government, are likely to have a larger percent of their population actually vote than ours.

He instead abused our trust and manipulated our fears to pass his own agenda of tax cuts, an almost obscenely named 'Patriot' Act and has since used 9/11 as a campaign tool in numerous ads, speeches and even now at the convention.

Opinion, and bullshit.  You're 2 steps away from a conspiracy theory here. wink

Fast forward to 2002. October. George W. Bush has told the country for the last year that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in some subtle speeches or press releases. They were, at this time, the only case for war we were articulating.

So, the terrorists residing and actually thriving in Iraq at the time wasn't a good enough case all by itself?  And, yes, it is a proven fact that there were terrorists in Iraq BEFORE the war.  And we also know that Saddam was in the process of purchasing yellowcake from Niger.

no allies

Other than Britain, Austrailia, (now) Germany...

no post war plan

Other than the plan which has kept Iraq from irrupting into civil war.

Now Bush says we can't win the war on terrorism.

Actually, he said we can't defeat terrorism completely.  And, in reality, we can't.  (wasn't Cat the one that debated that point?)  But we can bring the fight to them, before they can bring it to us (again).

Anyway, like Cat, those are just my opinions (duh!).  But, anyway, I'm just doing this at Goth's request. wink

Or was it the fact that they had records showing that he was there for full service? And many people who served with him Remember him being there..

Unlike Kerry who can't seem to recall if he was in Cambodia or not.. and if so at what date he was..

If you think you are going to spin this, and make it seem like Bush served the military in a more honorable fashion than kerry, think again.

And Gothic, my point exactly.

However, this brings up my views as to why we would put somebody with such a severe learning disability. Nothing personally against him in the manner of his learning disability(since my mother suffers from the same thing) but had this been made more public it could have for-warned people of the dangers this might have upon a country whose leader suffers from dyslexia while he has the power to send military forces wherever he pleases.
