Bush carried through with what he said he'd do, by striking Afghanistan first off. One of the biggest breading grounds for terrorism was struck, and we toppled the country. You can say ohh well Al-Qaeda is still alive and so are the Taliban. Yes they are, but atleast our boys over there are the ones being attacked, and not innocent American women and children who have no means to fight back. Iraq fit the bill too. Saddam had a huge country, lots of weapons, and known to hate the US. Perfect reason to let Al-Qaeda in and let them call Iraq home. Atleast Bush took the actions that many previous presidents did not do, even when given perfect oportunities.
OIL COMPANIES:
Name where we've taken any oil from there? Find me one of your vast media sources of us taking oil directly from Iraq. Wouldn't you think our gas prices would be cheaper by now? Environmental concerns, really, who cares? Our world is destined to be fucked up one way or another. We humans ruin and over populate, so we'll be our own worst enemy anyways. Can't do much to stop our own stupidity.
PS- I agree Exxon is getting away with murder for making the $$$$$ they are making. But this is a capatilism here, and gas isn't exactly a need, it's a luxury.
