Telling someone to read, as if you know they don't do that is insulting.

Telling someone to formulate their own thoughts, as if you are sure they don't already do that is insulting.

Using phrases like "claims to know" or "too much to ask" is insulting.

I don't see any difference between winning arguments and having your POV challenged.

Calling someone a liar when they believe their point of view is the truth is insulting. You could try to explain why you believe differently, without attacking.

Failing to recognize differences of interpretation & philosophy as the reason for different conclusions is insulting. You could try to detail how you reached your conclusions instead.

Your general tone is insulting. You don't present your case well using this approach.

<<"Your general tone is insulting. You don't present your case well using this approach.">>....Too funny how I get emails telling me the opposite? And NO, not only from people who share my POV.

I'm afraid that

No, that's not true. But go ahead & believe it if you like. I'm just not going to bother reading your posts if you insist on going over the top like this.

"From your post, I now understand that whatever I say, explain or elaborate on, is sómehow insulting in your observations.... "

"I have answered this question so many times that I am tired of it. Figure it out. He has powers that any president has and that are exclusive to the person holding that office. The fact that Bush has these powers just scares the crap out of me."

LOL, you haven't answered the question, you don't have an answer. You have given me, and others, the same run around everytime. Thanks for making my point!

It's pretty sad when someone has to create a wrong doing, or create a lack of judgement on the President's part to discredit him. What's truely amazing is that people's bias can run so deep that they will buy into this fantasy criticism, even otherwise intelligent people.

ITA!, It's amazing to me that people that think Bush is such a lune have given him such great powers. Pretty scary to think that there are people that believe that a President should have such control over our lives.

We, the American people, were told that Iraq had WMD and were an imminent threat (I believe imminent means soon - so I'm not certain why you took such offense at that)

You stated that "from the very start the invasion of Iraq has consisted of Several missions". If you're done being insulting, could you please share the other missions - the other reasons we attacked Iraq.

I'd really like to know, and I've certainly never heard or read about them anywhere else.

Okay, All the reasons we went to war with Iraq are? (not including the false or mistaken insistence that Iraq had WMD)

Oops, this message is meant for DJIE (smiliey faces)

"Is it possible the attack that hit the Pentagon could have been stopped with quick and decisive action? I don't know the answer to this, but I would feel alot better about him if he would have had the presence of mind to try. Have you actually seen the video we are talking about? Because once you see it you may think differently about this. I was ready to let this go before I saw it. We certainly heard plenty from the other side of the aisle when the previous President was not acting Presidential. "

Does it bother me that the President was stunned at the occurrances on that day, Heck no! Imagine if he looked as though he was expecting it, what would your arguement be then?

Could he have prevented the Pentagon from being hit? I'm sure if time allowed, and my understanding of the time was that it didn't, he could have had that plane shot down. but where? That would have meant following with the plane and shooting it down where the least amount of civilians would have been killed on the ground. Quite a call to make, IF, and that is a big IF, it could be made. I honestly don't understand how so many people are so sure the President acted in less than an authoritarian manner, yet not one person has a clue what he did wrong. Talk about showing your true colors and biases.

I do have a clue what he did wrong. He failed to leave the classroom when we were being attacked.
