    Anytime someone mentions Nader, I can only think of:

    Honestly? I've always viewed the American president as sort of a figurehead.

    He was still a better choice than Gore.
    I refuse to believe that Gore would have shat all over the role of executive power.

    In my opinion, Obama's a lot of big talk and if he becomes President people are going to be very disappointed.

    If I remember correctly, Bush was a lot of small talk, was appointed president, and people were very dissappointed.

    Elected, not appointed. But let's not start that again.

    He was still a better choice than Gore.

    To be fair, your economy would have ended up in a recession either way, just with Gore it would probably have been due to reducing polution/global warming.

    He would have had the exact same reaction to 9/11 that Clinton had to the terrorist attacks that happened during his Presidency, which would have resulted in things getting a whole lot worse.

    For all the bad stuff Bush has done, the war in Afghanistan was quick and clean and knocked out a huge base of terrorist support.

    Obama is a pretty good speaker with some fresh ideas and god who gives a fuck this whole circle-jerk circus is a big distraction anyway so the good and the bad can all be pinned on one Orwellian avatar for a party's ideas

    Uh, it's not done yet.

    We're most likely recommitting until 2011, and we hope to have the Afghan National Army somewhat trained by then.

    okay, i agree less with the wording of what Centipede said than the sentiment that Bush handled Afghanistan like a leader you wouldn't be totally ashamed of

    Alright, that's fair. Just talking about it like it's over and done is ridiculous. Canada is vowing to leave by 2009 if more NATO forces don't share the brunt of the work.

    What fucking planet are you on?

    Afghanistan is a fucking BREEDING GROUND for terrorism right now. After the majority of your troops went into Iraq the show was over. We (by this I mean NATO and Canadian Troops) have been hanging onto what little we control, which is nothing because we cant control the mountains that surround the damned country.

    Quick and Clean? Afghanistan is quickly turning into the new Iraq because of the lack of support your country has given to the fight it started.

    Bush nor Gore would have been responsible for the recession. It was already taking place at the tail end of the Clinton administration. 911 made what was already happening worse.

    Actually I believe you can blame the deregulation of credit interest on the Clintons but don't quote me on that. Bottom line is fucking people in the ass the way banks and creditors do now used to be illegal.

    It's wrong what creditors have been doing but the buck still stops at the idiot who agreed to sign the contract. They were taking advantage of ignorant people who are too impatient to live within their means.

    The war is over, we're into the occupation now. It's a whole different thing. World War II ended in 1945, but we didn't leave Germany until 1949. We have never completely left anyhow. Granted, the resistance to the occupation is stronger than the Nazi holdouts in Germany, but once you've dismantled the government of a country and set up bases inside of it, the war portion of your offensive is over.
