Kerry sucks. If he would get elected and follow through on half the things he promised tonight, taxes would double, and he would be more worried about making popular "global" decisions than doing what's best for the US. Also, he first criticized the spending of $200 billion in Iraq, then later said that Bush wasn't supplying the troops with enough equipment. Does that make any sense to anyone? Anyway...

Bush isn't a great speaker, I think we all knew that. Fortunatly, I don't vote by how well a person speaks. Bush was right to go into Iraq. Saddam disregarded 16 UN resoultions, and was a threat. When given a 17th and final chance to comply, he failed to do so. Bush, Blair, and others decided enough was enough. If you threaten serious consequences and don't follow through, what kind of message does that send the bad guys? There is nothing wrong with diplomacy, but unless its backed up with some force, it is useless. If Kerry was President, Saddam would still be in power, benefittng from the corrupt UN-oil for food program. Fortunatly Bush is President and Saddam is gone, and the world knows that the U.S. will not take anymore crap from evil dictators. Because of this Libya has begun to disarm, and other regimes will think twice before trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the rest of the world. I know I kind of rambled there, hopefully it makes some sense. Although, what do I know...I'm not a very articulate speaker myself, so apparently, I'm a moron.

You also aren't trying to convice 50 million viewers to choose you for the most important position in the world. You are correct that diplomacy needs the threat of force behind it, which is why kerry voted to give Bush that leverage, but we didn't do everything possible and Saddam was not a clear enough threat to us to shoulder 90% of the work load and send people like Carl into harms way. Kerry is upset that the war cost 200 billion, but now that it's on he thinks the troops should have seen a bigger share of that. I didn't hear Kerry say anything that would effect taxes with the exception of shutting down our nuclear bunker buster program...which would lower them if anything. ps Who said what's best for the world and what's best for the US are two different things? pps Matt, you forgot about Poland.

What is everything possible? 12 years, 17 U.N. Resolutions and economic sanctions seems like a lot to me. More talking wouldn't have worked, especially when Saddam was making money off of France, Russia, and the oil for food program. He had been doing well for himself for years inspite of the UN's "threats". He knew the UN had no backbone and he banked on that staying the same. He wasn't going to one day wake up and say "Oh. You strenuously object. Then I'll take some time and reconsider." P.S. Jeremy, I dont know where you got that whole best for the US/best for the world thing, because I didnt say it. The truth is that the interest of the U.S. and the World are often the same, unfortunatly when it comes to things like terrorism, the U.S. has the biggest target on its back and we must be able to defend ourselves against it. P.P.S. Don't knock Poland, they've lived under the Nazis and under Communism. They know what it's like to be opressed and are giving what the can to free the Iraqi people. P.P.P.S. If more wars are needed to get rid of terrorist threats, then more are needed. But by winning in Iraq and showing the leaders of these nations that they cant win if they decide to harbor and sponsor terror, then many of these potential conflicts can be avoided.

Ok, so it wasn't likely that Sadaam was going to invade the US anytime soon. Still he was a bad man who refused to listening to the rest of the world. We have taken 90% of the work load because we have 90% of the force and power of all the democratic countries. And it's true that if we strictly follow the same standards that led to war with Saddam there's probably a number of other countries and dictators that would qualify, but Sadaam was clearly the most well-known, most stuborn and unwilling to cooperate, and longest running threat. Hopefully making an example of Sadaam and Iraq will have an effect on other countries (such as Libya), and now the world realizes that we mean business (at least after the 17th UN resolution is ignored). Also, one of Kerry's big points seemed to be that we needed to better our diplomatic relations with other countries and he criticized Bush for not doing so well enough before we went to war in Iraq. But then he later said that he wants to bypass the 6 party talks with North Korea and open up bilateral communications with whatever that guys name is. Seems contradictory to me, and agree with Bush that keeping China involved in those talks is extremely important. Kerry is always talking way more health care, drugs for the elderly, last night he said he would create new troop divisions that wouldn't go to Iraq, he would get better and more equipment to the troops in Iraq, he would increase funding for the training of Iraqius (sp?), he wants to personally tour the globe and collect every piece of nuclear material every made (how come biological and chemical weapons were never mentioned last nigh?), those things cost money. Seeings as the US seems to be the most hated country in the world, we need to hunt down terrorists and be more concered about certain other dictators and countries more than the rest of the world. Why should France and Germany care about terrorists and nuclear weapons? If they're satisfied to sit around and throw sanctions and resolutions at countries and then not doing anyting about it when the don't listen, then fine. But the US doesn't have that luxury, therefore what's best the US is not necessarily what's best for the rest of the world.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

This is a less serious comment, just something my brain stumbled on. When they were talking about the war in Iraq it was brought up that the borders were not being policed effectively and more terrorist groups and such were coming into Iraq which is why fighting has stayed at the level it has and possibly increased. Now I believe Kerry first stated that as a problem, but I don't think they really talked about it too much. It seems to me though that if we are fighting a global war on terrorism that it's not such a bad thing if the terrorists are coming out of hiding and confronting us. I suppose it doesn't help the situation in Iraq, but it seems better than having to try and keep intelligence on these groups as they are scattered around and in hiding. I think maybe that's why Bush kind of let that slide by and never really responded it to it. That's more of a conspiracy theory though than it is part of why I'm voting for Bush.

But here's another conspiracy theory. We've supposedly captured 75% of Osama's leading men. Osama himself seems to be more of the "charasmatic" (notice the quotes) leader than the real brains or brawn behind anything. So two scenarios: 1) We capture him, one of his understudies steps up and rallies around "Remember the Osamao" and a circle begins. 2) We capture his top guys, his power and skills are weakened, he becomes desperate and makes a mistake, and we crush his ring of terror. Sometimes cutting off the head of the beast kills it, and sometimes two new heads grow back. I need more ties, because apparently a white dress shirt, dark gray tie, khaki pants, and doc marten's don't go together.

First of all, Osama Bin Laden is not just a figurehead. He is incredibly rich and doesn't spend any of his money on Escalades and spinner rims. Also, you are right that Kerry's programs are going to cost money. That is why you should never elect a democrat. because they will just spend and spend and then we will end up with trillions of dollars in deficits and the country will go to shit economically.....oh wait.

Al-Qaida attacked us on 9/11, but the war on Terror isn't limited to just those who planned and executed the attack on us. While the 9/11 commission did not find any Saddam -al-qaida connection in regards to the 9/11 attacks, Saddam and his regime had ties to terrorist groups, including al-qaida. Combine these ties with the pre-war intelligence telling Bush that Saddam had WMD's and the threat of Saddam passing weapons to al-qaida had to be taken seriously.

While the media may have "lost focus" on Afghanistan and Osama because of the Iraq war, that doesn't mean Bush did. Kerry may say that Iraq hurt the war in Afghanistan, but I believe Gen. Franks has said differently. As far as I've heard, the military commanders for Afghanistan have recieved all the troops that they said they needed.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

the wind was nasty, and the giants kicker missed 3 fg's that normally would be gimmies, so maybe that's why they went for it. I think it was a pretty ok (quite agressive)decision, in a scoreless game.

There was only 1 miss at the time and the pack needed points. Even if you ARE going for it you go for the 5 yards, not the endzone. Add to that the fact that they had decided to go for it when they were struggling to get yards and without Favre and it was just dumb as hell.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

the going for the endzone part probably wasn't part of the game plan. Favre went out there most likely against the will of the coaches (without realizing he was even out there) and may have called that play himself. He says he doesn't even remember that he did it.

So we got rid of McKenzie. Good. He was trouble anyway. We picked up another QB. Here's my theory that I have now told Jeremy, Jon, and Matt. Favre is hurt. Pederson is hurt. Nall starts next week against the Titans on national television. He has a spectacular game, completely annihilating the Titans. Favre never plays again. The End. How sad would that be? His career would come full circle? It just can't end that way. Ok, so about McKenzie, we got a QB and a draft pick. Now we can right the ship and not have chaos. Oh, Micheal Bennett reinjured his knee and is out for 2 more weeks. That's about it, I need to keep working on my resume.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Farve will play, I've never heard of J.T. O'Sullivan but even just to get a 2nd round pick alone out the situation would have been pretty good. Of course, I now have to root against the Saints every game, but they deserve it for losing to Arizona anyway. The Packers have a good history of getting QBs who end up having decent careers elsewhere (although not so much this managment), so maybe JT has got game. O'Sullivan is an unacceptable name however and I'm going to call him JTO from now on. Seeings as how he can't stay healthy, I guess it's good for Bennett that he left college after starting only 1 year and got paid. Not so good for the Vikings and the one FF team I have him on.
