Any president, or member of the federal government who says that the US Constitution is "just a goddamned piece of paper", or who states that being a dictator would make his job easier, does not deserve to be recognized as "possibly the greatest Presidential" representative in history.
These guys were awful. They took a country that was seemingly doing okay and made it a hell of a lot worse. Did they protect us from attacks? Perhaps. But what difference does it make when they basically took a crap on civil liberties and a great deal of the respect that other countries had for the USA.
Can you honestly say that on the day Bush finished up his second term that you felt as good or better about the state of the country than you did on the day before he began? I sure don't, and here's why. Because I no longer feel that I can trust the government to respect my privacy, my right to think of myself, or my right to speak my mind. Now I have to wonder if something as simple as spending time on ATS is going to wind up putting me on some watch list and attach a permanent "terrorist suspect" label to my name. I am more concerned about being harmed by my own government than I am by an actual terrorist who is motivated by religion or hate for Americans. And that worrying on my part began while Bush and his buddies were in office.

Ok then so what happened. Are you going to tell me that truckload after truckload of explosives were carried into those buildings, put in place, wired together, etc and no one noticed? Do you know you dont just plant explosives to bring down a building in a controlled manner. You have to cut the supports in strategic places and weaken the structure as needed. So there were people in there blow torching and crushing concrete and nobody noticed?
So give me your theory on how it transpired. You know the right theory.

No one gets drug before the Nuremborg court unless they loose. Cmon, dont you think if we lost WW2 they wouldnt have tried and convicted Truman for nuking Japan TWICE! Everyone knows War Crimes only get applied to the loosers. Its not about justice. Its about punishing you for being a LOOSER!

Well I started feeling the way you describe here not long after Obama and his Gestapo took office.
Bush did what he did to open up prosecution on terrorists and I dont really see where anyone who was just a regular American citizen went to jail because of the Patriot Act. Can you?

I hear many people bash the Bush admin for its handling of terrorism. Did you ever stop to think that maybe he saved the country by taking the fight to the enemy?
So, i was thinking that Osama Bin Laden and his boys in the Taliban surely must be the best terrorists around if we are to belive the official 9/11 story?
Where by which 19 so called extremist muslims managed to hijack 4 US passenger airlines including passengers, with plastic knives and box cutters (stanley knives to us in the UK), bypassed the US air defense systems with these hijacked planes, managing to not be blown out of the sky and then initiating physics defying manouvers with at least three of these planes which supposedly penatrated and brough down two of the largest buildings in Manhattan, as well as infiltrating the most heavily protected air space in the world and then colliding with the global spire of military power, being the pentagon.
Not to mention that some of these supposed hijackers also managed to abscond from these planes prior to impact, accidently dropping their passport (at least in one FACTUAL case) or bandana before departing to their home countries, as some have been proved to be alive.
Also lets no discount Osama Bin Ladens amazing ability at not being deemed to be responsible for the attacks as far as the FBI are officialy concerned where by which they do not have him on their 10 most wanted people list, not forgetting his ability to evade the empirical strong arm of the american military by hiding in some supposed cave, skills and abilities Sadam could only have wished he possesed.
I must appluad this marvelous mastery of terror and bow before their excellence.
