Pres. Bush did what any good leader should do

2004-08-19 / Opinion

Dear Editor: In reply to Cesar Malaga’s letter published in the Massapequa Post of August 4:

1. President Bush is looking out for us. He did not lie to U.S. citizens that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. If you had read the 911 Commission Report you would know the true facts. U.S.; Intelligence, British Intelligence and Russian Intelligence all said there were weapons of mass destruction. Bush did not lie; he was misinformed. As President with the knowledge that was supplied, he had to act. Not to do so, would not have been in the best interest of the U.S.

2. As for killing "of innocent children, women and elder...in Iraq," you didn’t mention the thousands annihilated by Saddam Hussein. I find that strange. That monster is akin to Hitler.

3. "A vote for President will be the further downfall of the USA." How? This president has kept us safe after the tragedy of 911 and does what is right, not what is popular.

4. Since when can degrees be bought? You make statements and don’t back them up. President Bush is the only president with an MBA. Grades are not the only criteria of intelligence. The ability to make decisions is critical. Jimmy Carter was very intelligent but micro-managed and was an ineffectual president. Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar and disgraced the presidency.

5. President Bush thinks of America first and doesn’t play "nicey-nice" with other countries. France and Russia made millions from the "oil for food" program. That’s why they didn’t want us to go after Saddam Hussein.

In conclusion, President Bush says and does what is right for our beloved country and does not think of what will get him votes. John Kerry flip flops constantly. He will say and promise anything to get votes. Just ask yourself, who would Osama Bin Laden want to win this election? When you figure that out, vote for the other candidate. That candidate is George W. Bush.
