    Myrddraal, I think it's high time all of you foreigners admitted that you're living on borrowed time in America's world.

    The man ultimately responsible for killing over 5,000 americans in a terrorist attack is still walking around over 7 years later.

    Our economy is in serious trouble and we're involved in a foriegn occupation that was completely unnecessary, and is costing us (the American Taxpayers) trillions of dollars.

    It's kinda hard to respect someone who has totally failed at their job. If you think that a CEO of ANY corporation would still be around after making so many mistakes and having an approval rating of less than 20%, well...

    He wouldn't be around, but he would get a multi-million dollar severance package.

    I sincerely doubt that the presidential retirement package is bad...

    It's nice, but that's retirement, not dismissal.

    Since he isn't going to expand aside from his modified quote of your post...

    From Vladimir's bolding:
    Only ~3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks, not all of those were US citizens. Potential related deaths from the pollution probably cannot be tallied accurately. After Sept 11, 2008 it will be "over 7 years later" (Vladimir missed that one).

    The cost of war is somewhere around $500 billion at this point. The economy is in serious trouble though, not sure why Vladimir thinks it's not.

    Bush's approval rating is around 30%, Congress's is around 20%. And Bush hasn't totally failed, he will stand as an excellent example of how not to be President.

    Bush's performance has been bad enough, no need to exaggerate it.

    Thank you for the clarifications.

    As for the # of people killed in 9/11, I had thought it was just over 5,000. I stand corrected. It still doesn't detract even slightly from the fact that Bin Laudin is still a free man.

    As for the cost, well, we aren't pulled out yet. The projected costs that I have seen for the war (when all is said and done) is in the trillions, which is what I quoted. I should have been more clear by saying it WILL cost us trillions.

    I also thought that Bush's approval rating dipped below 20% at one point. Maybe I was confused with Chaney. In any case, it's pretty fricken low, and for good reason.

    I'll own my statistical errors but it doesn't really change the fact that President Bush is a total failure as a president. Unless your the CEO of Exxon, of course.

    Actually, if you factor in long term future costs of the war along with the fact that all of these funds are borrowed from other countries like China/Japan/ect... (which by the way Americans are only paying the interest on) its into the trillions easily and might even enter tens of trillions if the debt isn't payed (and by the looks of it, probably won't) shortly
