Just think: If Governor Bush had not hung tough in Florida and let Roaring Gore steal the election we would have Gore as President; a man who goes to Saudi Srabia and gives aid and comfort to our enemies.
Again: If President had not hung tough in 2004 against Swiftboat Kerry [who tried to steal the election in Ohio], Swiftboat might be president; a man who gave aid and comfort to our enemy during the war in Viet Nam and continues to do so.
The last I checked, Saudi Arabia was our strongest ally in the mid-east after Israel.
Of course, most of the 9/11 attackers supposedly came from there so there is an issue with them.
That didn't bother Bush when he allowed Saudi princes to fly out of the U.S. when the skies were closed to everyone else.
Did they know anything about what thwie countrymen had done?
Who cares.
There were buddies of George.
Bush Senior was the most balanced President we ever had. the problem was that he allowed to let himself be bullied around by the right wing hardliners. He conducted the Gulf War and assessed the info realisticly instead of just listening to what he only
wanted to hear
He didn't get rid of Saddam but he did successfully contain him . Bush Sr. didn't trip all over his pride like his son has.
Certenly you see the difference between our elected presedent meeting with officels of other goverments (friendly or not) Vs. a former elected officel going to another country and bad mouthing his own country in a public speach.

Gore states that all the Saudis were unjustly imprisoned and inhumanely treated.
You say Bush flew them out of the country.
My guess is that you both are spouting liberal tripe.
I don't know anything about Al Gore speaking in Saudi Arabia, I will have to take your word on it, I don't doubt he did, he is a flaming liberal, what would you expect.
I am in no way trying to defend Al Gore, I am just pointing out that the Bush family has been good friends and business partners with the Saudis for years. I just find it strange that the President who is fighting the "war on terror" spends so much time Whining & Dining the leaders of the nation that is the largest supporter of terrorism in the world.
It is a known fact that the administration flew the Saudis and the members of the Bin Ladden family out of the country after 9/11 for their safety.
OR, do you consider everyone who doesn't totally agree with President Bush to be a Bush hater? </font>[/QUOTE]I don't totally agree with Bush and I am not a Bush Hater.
I disagree with him completely on his handling of the illegal immigration and have made my views known to my Congressional Representatives and the Chairman of the RNC.
That being said I have not seen anything objective come from those who disagree with Bush.

You believe everything you read on the internet or the NY Times or Washington, DC or hear from the network news?
