Poor inteligence isn't the same as a straight out lie.
If you were a reporter in Iraq that was new and trying to get your company the most viewers what would you do in the following scenario; Listen to public announcements by the interm government and report on the actual polling where woman are voting OR you hear an explosion has occured in a city 100 miles away. Do you do your reporting of the good, or the bad? Hence EVERY F-n media company that's in it for profit is going to report BAD news.
As for the poor inteligence.... Bush isn't responsible for the facts he's given. The only thing Bush is responsible for is the economy (which is sucking so please focus on that and not the damn WMDs), the Supream justice rulings (judges he put in power), and the international affairs (again doing a rather poor job). The FBI has since gone through hell since 9/11 and ever since then they've been doing a serious house cleaning. Bush listened to the 9/11 council and done many (but not all) of the things they recommeded. Since 9/11 there hasn't been an attack on our homeland. You'd think that if the Iraq war was SUCH a bad idea and we are spreading ourselves thin that we'd have enraged enough terrorists to attack again.... but it hasn't happened.
I probably unconciously voted for Bush because of the war that I wish had never had to happen. Damn Saddam for being such a moron. The Iraq people deserved a little bit of our occupating their land BECAUSE they never cleaned house themselves. This brings me back to the point of Islam and their overall pathetically weak morals. Why can't they denounce terrorism out-right? WHAT good comes of it? Only more people will die. They say inocent people have died when in reality it's the terrorists that are hiding behind hostages... sometimes hostages get killed, it sucks but 1 life for a few hundred thousands doesn't sound like a bad number. Ideally I'd rather see no lives lost but until Iraq gets a democracy that'll increase the quality of life for Iraq's there will always be terrorists. They have nothing better to do over there. Jokingly; we should do an PS2 or Xbox for guns program over there!
