Answer 1

Quite so .What we have to be wary of is if one comes along a little too conveniently,nudge,nudge,wink,wink. ;)

Answer 2

He's probably right, but what a stupid thing to say.  It almost makes him sound like he wants another attack to happen.    Wow the Repugnicans are a sick bunch.

Answer 3

History will tell us that a successful war will do the reputation of a leader no power of good.  Without 9/11 Bush would have been a non-descript waste of space with no plan at all.

Margaret Thatcher was aided no end by the Faulklands War.

However you need to win and Bush is far from winning!!

Answer 4

yes - he is a hawk republican and the votes for him would swell as he takes a tough stand on iraq and afghanistan and all potential enemies of the United States

Answer 5

I think what he meant when asked about this is that since McCain was a war hero of the Vietnam War then people who felt threatened by another terrorist attack would be more likely to vote for a man with experience of war.

He has now learned that in politics it pays to think before speaking because you will inevitably be misquoted or misunderstood unless you spell it out very, very carefully.

Answer 6

Look in the real world.

Who's ended up " All Black"

Little children love ghostly stories.

Feed the hungry ghost.

Who get a piece of rock?

Then strike it on a pack of fire-crackers.?

What do you think?

Answer 7

just ask yourself who benefited from 9/11????

Charlie Black is right

Judge John Knacker makes a point with the Falkland war, Thatcher was hated before the war but when it happened and Britain won she got praise and i believe she won the next election.

Answer 8

I agree with the statement, though stupid to say. During WW2 the whole US rallied to war after the attack on Perl Harbor (a legal military target) while the attack on 9-11 seem to have just been carried out by misunderstood, misguide criminals and not a ideologue that wants to destroy western countries, Folks they are both the same.

Answer 9

Of course he's right. Think about Bin Laden's taped messages just before the 2004 election. However, unfortunately in these days of all encompassing political correctness he was bound to get the chop!
