“If Bush was just interested in oil, as you clumsily suggest, why not just offer to normalize relations with Iran and Iraq in return for generous contracts with his friends in the oil business. That’s the question Bush opponents need to answer.”
That’s the question Bush opponents need to answer!? With all the things bush has screwed up, and all the objections bush opponents have, I don’t understand why that’s the question you think they need to answer.
Bush isn’t interested only in oil. He’s also interested in fulfilling the vision of PNAC. He’s interested in a flawed vision that won’t work and will cost us thousands of lives and trillions of dollars.
If you’d like, I can write up a very long list of questions bush supporters need to answer, and you can have a go at them.
In fact, when I have time, I’ll write up that list anyway. A friend of mine has a website that’s more for debating politics/philosophy/whatever than this site. I’ll post it on that website and put a link on this page. Perhaps we can get PS and PD and whoever else is interested in debating such things to join us.
I’m not one of those bush haters who knows every little fact about his presidency. I’m not even a liberal (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I’m just a guy who can see what a ruinous presidency he’s having, and I have trouble seeing why people still support him. I must admit that in debates with bush supporters so far, I’ve been somewhat less than impressed with their response and reasoning. Here’s hoping you’re different, bgates. Looking forward to a debate.
