  I thought you were an Indian? Math failure; 1% economic growth correlates to a 1.01 multiplier, while 5% economic growth correlates to a 1.05 multiplier. In this case, 1.05/1.01 is much less than the 5 times you predicted, and the 1.10/1.03 ratio of growth that used to exist between the United States and China.

  Coming from one who has studied terrorism both academically and professionally for the last 20 plus years, Bush is getting a "free pass" in his argument that the reason America has not been attacked is due to any action of his. Remember these facts:
  -9/11 was carried out by probably only 20 people...do we think that if Al Quaeda wanted to put in 100 more they couldn't have or even haven't?
  -UBL is very methodical...rest assured that if he had wanted to attack us again, he could have and would have
  --the worst thing, from his perspective, would be to stage another attack and bring the American people back together
  -AQ is spending us into oblivion
  -Bush created a breeding ground for new terrorists in Iraq
  
  UBL is WINNING the War on Terrorism against the US...with little expenditure, AQ (with the help from the current , inept Administration) has put the US on a war footing, nearly bandrupted us, watched our standing in the rest of the world deteriorate. UBL has stuck to his strategy and played us well. No...we have not been attacked again due to anything the Bush Admisnistration has done; we have not been reattacked because UBL chose not to.

  A NEO-CON wrote about this strategy. Why invade Iraq? The truths we seek will come out. Wat don't come out in the wash, comes out in the rinse. That smug, arrogant P.O.S Cheney should be the 1st one in shackles. REPUKES. Almost 5,000 KIA in Iraq. Bush & Co are MURDERERS. Thanx alot for sending us on a mission with no clear objective, you Retards. I voted for OBAMA and so did everyone else I know.
