Bush - War president?

[ITW [the irish boy]]

All political allegences aside, I just want to see what you all think about bushs decision to "bank (my) re-election on the success in Iraq"

I dont support the guy, but this seems like a suicidal move, unless he has legitimate reason to believe things will improve before election time.

If anything it seems he is setting himself up to lose to presidency to TERRORISM! what i mean is terrorists could easily launch a horrific attack, similar to madrid, in iraq prior to the election and destable bush. Does anyone else see this as an awful strategy?

I think the problem is you conceive that most Americans think the war is going badly.  Most Americans know people are getting killed, but don't really see it as a failure, but more as a success.  That's not what the media would have you believe, though.  

The other problem is, if we DO get attacked by a terrorist, everyone knows John Kerry wouldn't do shit about it.  Everybody also knows that all hell will be unleashed if we get hit again.  If we get attacked again, I'd bet money Bush will use nuclear weapons, just make it quicker.  

If you can't settle it.  Level it.  LOL
