Anyone who states that George W. Bush has "strong leadership in uncertain times" and that " he (GW Bush) is picking up the ball and fighting international terrorism head-on..." is sadly mistaken. I would like to quote George Monbiot of The Guardian newspaper in the UK, when he states, "George Bush has made no secret of the primary mission of his presidency: to remunerate the companies which supported his bid for power."
To the oil industry he has given the Arctic wildlife reserve and the abandonment of American action on climate change. To the tobacco industry he has granted an end to the federal lawsuits on behalf of the victims of smoking. To the mining firms he has pledged to remove the laws restricting arsenic in drinking water. (The Guardian, May 22, 2001.)
The United States of America, the land of the free and home of the brave, this great country is now subject to the embarrassing "leadership" George W. Bush. He (GW Bush) is completely oblivious to the needs of this nation and focuses his attention on the harassment of sovereign nations that have every right to develop defenses just as much as the US does.
Let us look at Islamic Republic of Iran, for example; the current administration condemns this nation that it's hiding information from UN inspectors regarding the nuclear arsenal Iran possesses. Why on earth does the US have to interfere in another country's internal matters? The US has made more that 70,000 nuclear warheads and bombs of 65 different types since World War II. I don't see other countries pressuring for total disarmament of the US arsenal! If that were to happen, the U.S. reply (George Bush style) "in these uncertain times, we must be alert and diligent in our homeland security and continue to enhance our defense systems." I think other countries such as Iran have every right to upgrade their defenses and protect themselves in these "uncertain times".
On the recent interview with George Bush on Meet the Press, the President was ambiguous when confronted with the question concerning the report from the Senate committee investigation on the intelligence failure before and during the Iraq war.
