Sure.

There have been several terrorist cells in the USA arrested since 9/11.

The USA has been hunting and killing terrorists across the world.

Those terrorists that (unfortunately) survived are given a free vacation in a tropical paradise.

The USA has not been attacked by terrorists since 9/11.

The USA toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan an is helping that country (along with Nato allies) build a new society in which human rights are more respected than ever before in that country.

Afghan women are no longer murdered for seeking an education or entering professional careers.

Afghan women occupy elected seats in their legislature.

Saddam Hussein's murderous regime has been deposed, alleviating a threat to the planetary energy supply.

The US economy recovered from the 2000 recession and 9/11 reaction.

The USA has one of the fastest growing economies in the industrialized world.

Unemployment is about as low as it has ever been despite 10,000,000 illegal aliens.

Income taxes are way dow.

The death tax is almost gone.

Federal spending is under pressure which will require real cuts in spending, thereby shrinking government.

The perpetual pseudo-liberal assault on gun ownership taht accompanies Democrats into office is not on the horizon.

More minorities own their homes than at any time in US history.

More minorities have senior positions in federal government than at any time in history.

Minorities are getting real power in the traditionally-white Republican Party.

On the downside:
The Democrat Party still doesn't know what it wants to do in foreign policy, against terrorism, and in domestic policy.

The Republicans have entered a weird sort of arrogant malaise that is a political suicide pill that they seem anxious to swallow.

Republicans are turning into Democrats with their 'drunken sailor' domestic spending. Hardly a Repo special interest fails to get something from the larder.

Hope that helps.

You been going to the same rose colored glasses outlet as Peragro?

According to a report by the Seton Hall Law School:

There are now about 490 prisoners at Gitmo, and "55 percent of the detainees are not determined to have committed any hostile acts against the United States or coalition allies."

"Only 8 percent of the detainees were characterized as Al Qaeda fighters. Of the remaining detainees, 40 percent have no definitive connection with Al Qaeda at all and 18 percent have no definitive affiliation with either Al Qaeda or the Taliban."

"Only 5 percent of the detainees were captured by United States forces. [A total of] 86 percent of the detainees were arrested by either Pakistan or the Northern Alliance and turned over to United States custody. This 86 percent of the detainees captured by Pakistan or the Northern Alliance were turned over to the United States at a time at which the United States offered large bounties for capture of suspected enemies."

From: Gitmo

From other radio reports on the Seton Hall study, which I couldn't find right away, many of those turned over to the U.S. were sold for, I believe around $5,000 US which is a fortune in Afg/Pak. Advertisements painting glowing pictures of just what that money could do for one were sprinkled about. What a deal huh? Get rid of some a$$ you never liked or who was *****ing about you stealling this or that and get paid major cash at the same time.

Taxes are way down and the PR of China is most grateful for the leverage our borrowing has given them. Fighting a disastorous war all on borrowed money. Brilliant.

Plenty of demos get it on gun control, H. Dean, coincidentally party head, being chief among them.

Unfortunately, not enough of them get it.

Failure to see the good accomplishments of one's opponents is a great indicator of fanaticism.

Does that hold true if I wear contact lenses?

I think you're mad because Bot and I tend to put stock in actual journalism, not very prevenlent today.

Here's the mission statement of the SF news organization you quoted regarding Gitmo - They wouldn't be biased would they?

Bwah-haha!

Maybe I am too young (19), or just cannot follow it all. I hope, in a way, that Hilary Clinton becomes our next President.

I like Bushy's ethic outlook, but I am not sure when Presidents were into changing laws around differing moral and religious veiws... so I have to look at a President as a economic and excuseless (not sure if that is a word) leader. Though Bush has taken several attacks his excuses are terrible, and I think that the leader of the most powerful country in teh world (don't really know who gave us that distinction) should not have to quiver and studder when he is asked why he is wearing brown shoes and a black belt.

That is over simplified, but being a lower middle class citizen all I can do to influence the government is vote, so I do not worry myself with the day to day squanderings of hundereds of housands of dollars on this and that, when we have to pay 3.2 million for a person to look like a deer in headlights.

I just Hilary, even if she remains a puppet, can convey a better image, even when underfire. She has previous puplic experience, and has done some good already... Besides if she shares the same economic power as slick Willie then my dad will get rich all over again, and I will too. And that is all that really matters isn't it?

I'm not a big Hillary supporter , but I love the idea to put the Clinton's back in the White House, just to piss off the hard core, right handed, moral majority conservatives.

At 19, I think you got it. Especially the "quiver and studder when he is asked why he is wearing brown shoes and a black belt" and the "looks like a deer in headlights" comments.

From what I hear Hillary wears the supporter in the family.

That was just the piece I found quoting the Seton Hall Law study. Plenty of other outlets using that info -- plus you can go right to the Seton study yourself, that is, if you're interested in actual journalism.

Any of you Bush supporters care to comment on the fact that only 5% of the Gitmo guys were actually caught while fighting against Mr'cans -- in direct contrast to Dubber's statements about them dang bad guys? Or that in the cut throat tribalism culture in Afg./Pak. offering bounties for bad guys is an invitation to get rich quick while sticking it to an enemy?

There's that creaking sound again....the gates of Hell swinging open.

Think of something creative to post from the vacuous enterprise of your empty mind.

My favorite part. Indicates a good solid democrat foundation.

Are you F*#%in' kidding me?!?

Lemme see, anything the Weekly Standard prints should be ignored because they're a right wing rag? Geo. Will wrote an entire column about the current fortunes of the Repos and their chances of making inroads on Demo strongholds. So I should ignore everything Will says from now on because of that?

Here's another one by Will: Why America Leans Right, does this mean he has no legitimate voice?

Is there a chance that any of the pundits, oh Ann Coulter, or journals that you laud self-identify as conservatives or righties????

Do a web search for "MY BALLS" and see if you can examine the evidence that indicates that we paid ransomes for innocent captives that we've had locked up for what, 4 years now? Heaping scorn on people you look down your nose at is not the same as seeking truth, so sorry.

But spare me this crap that anyone who self identifies as a leftist or a liberal is utterly unworthy to participate in the public discourse. And that goes double for your junior sidekick, Pergo - mon.
