I think he said he regretted that quite some time ago...
Interesting, that's all he regrets tho. |

What goes???? He's the one guy I've never known to back down on anything he has said. Usually if anyone questions him, he just sticks to his guns that much more.
(Is this considered criticism of the POTUS? am I allowed to say this?) |

I think his tone was right on the money considering the circumstances at the time, and the majority of us wanted it, we wanted pay back for 9-11

Dave, agreed. Going into Afghanistan was the right choice, we should have finished the job there, got Bin laden etc.

Sounds like someone who is worried about his legacy, and that the history books might not be very kind. "They'll believe I was really a peace-maker, if, you know, I only tell them that I really was; and that peace was my objectnificance all along." Bush stated that history would vindicate him years from now. Like much else in this administration, he doesn't seem willing to wait that long. Either that, or he feels it will only happen if he plants those seeds himself and informs everyone that the reason they should belive it is "... because". |

I am sure there will be many more regrets....as time goes by.

I used to laugh at how my grandpa hated Truman and Roosevelt, and how my pop cussed at Kennedy and LBJ....
I certainly understand that attitude now. "Never try to teach a pig to sing; It wastes your time and annoys the pig." - Heinlein |

Good--now maybe you'll understand why I have no use for Carter and slightly more but only that for Clinton....

Carter was right about what needed to be done to solve the gas crisis he knew was coming, though. He was just crap about everything else. |

Uncle Jimmy sure didn't give a shite about those that wore the uniform under his Presidency.

Just remember, the President was a history major. And he was barely a C student. So, what does that say for his knowledge of history and how history will remember him? |

Too little regret; too late to make a difference. He cannot take the words back and the damage is already done. |

What was wrong with Carter? For a president he was one hell of a peanut farmer.  |

So do we if we if were serious about it. If we wanted him captured he would have been in leg Irons 7 years ago or dead. He was trapped in the Tora Boras and by not sending in the first teams they efectively allowed him to escape. |

but what he said was on the mark and needed....  |

Bravery isn't the absence of fear but the conquest of it. |
And all these years later, we still do. No "OBL tracked to the ends of the earth". Where's the payback? Just more American lives lost. Some say senselessly? WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OURSELVES ALONE DIES WITH US;WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OTHERS AND THE WORLD IS AND REMAINS IMMORTAL |

Saddam insane had to be dealt with sometime for his violations of the cease fire agreement. Now was as good a time as any, except for Desert Storm when we should have went in and got him.
