My president has once again let the terrorists win.
By virtually admitting that the terrorists are oppressing us and do in fact exert influence and power over us, Bush has handed a major psychological victory to the terrorists.
I ask, who is doing more harm to our country right now?

There are definitely some parallels that can be drawn, and the analogy given from General Washington about nations free from oppression is certainly a valid one.
"He once wrote, My best wishes are irresistibly excited whensoever in any country I see an oppressed nation unfurl the banners of freedom, Bush said.

What other companies in the world do the type of work K & B and Haliburton do?
Can you name any?
How about any of the 'jobs' they've had?
'Tis a lame excuse to blame K & B and Haliburton..............

The terrorists are oppressing us? Do you honestly believe that?
During the Revolutionary War, the Colonists resorted to what were then considered terror tactics (sniping from behind trees, hit and run) in order to have a chance against the superior might of the British Army. The Colonies were oppressed by Great Britain, and won their independence, or so the story goes.
I think you have things backwards, just like GWB.
Yes, we consider the social system of most ME systems repressive by our standards, but who are we to talk? As self appointed Big Brother to the world, the US is the one doing the oppressing these days, imo.

I agree, I wonder what the British has done lately that Bush is getting back at them
No enough support?
We went into Afghanistan because the Taliban was not interested in giving up the masterminds of The 9/11 attacks. We went into Afghanistan in an effort to throw down some judgement on those who murdered 3,000 of our friends and neighbors. THAT should be the war Bush is talking about.
