Is the world less safe on BUSH's watch???????

[Judy Hamilton]

Is the world less safe on BUSH's watch?? has been a discussion between myself and Hans..in another thread and
totally emmersed in another thread.

"The world is less safe today..now than it was prior to US involvment in Iraq"

and this is precisely the retoric the media has been
feeding us for the past few months

I have taken this and expounded on it for consideration

Will the average voter understand this is a political ploy..and
a falacy intended to generate Repubilcan negatives and
garnish Democrate votes ???



please read this info easliy googled ( any citizen casting an educated vote can google..right?)

as i related to Hans..this mispeak, which is daily embellished on global news, is blantant election partisan political stragety

after viewing this link one easily learns that terrorism has been part of the motif of our world for decades

and a quick comparison will show global terriorist accomplishments have
been significantly curtailed since 9/11

i agree terror plots toward the USA that have been prevented..and who can say? have we disturbed a beehive?? Hans adressed the wannabe terrorist that have seemingly "Popped-up" on the global terror scene. I contend that these wannabes will find the ways and means to develop and deliver their special brand of hate, even if Iraq were not in turmoil as terrorist have been doing for decades..(please refer to the link provided)

i consider myself a realist..Global terror problem has been
a significant concern for decades.
It has not been exacerbated by our being in Iraq.

the media has chosen to focus on the negatives, hoping to
build a political blind, engender hysteria and voters
will listen to the retoric, not do the math and research
prior to casting their vote on November 7th

Please share ....if this has also been an increasing concern of yours

I simply don't have enough information to say I that I agree that the world is less safe.

But neither am I prepared to agree with Bush's statement that the world is safer (speech made September 11, 2006)

[Judy Hamilton]

Fair enough Barbara...i have done the research
this is why i am so adamant about the current news
propaganda and consider most of it political hyperbole.

as with face-toface conversations
there was some thing else i wanted to add

will do so when the thought comes back through
my mind:rolleyes:

Thanks

I am starting to understand a little of the frustration with media. Now that we have a conservative government up here, it seems that very few give newspapers or tv stations give them a fair shake.

It seems that unless a journalist adheres to the liberal-leftist-defeatist party line one does not have or hold onto a job in journalism.

That's interesting, I wonder what Fox News is classified as?

[Judy Hamilton]

Hi Monty

I have not a classifcation of news (left or right)
here in mind as much as I am
troubled with current mis information spoken as facts


please see clearly that most of the terror activities occurred
before we were in Iraq


so how do these dates of demarkation make the world more
dangerous since we have been in Iraq?

most voters will not do the research..will not do the math
and sadly news sound bites will determine their vote

... is this portion:

and sadly news sound bites will determine their vote

this is both sad and scary ...............

[David Cash]

And yet, the whole concept of a free press in our democratic system is that it is to inform us so we can vote. Is there some way of slowing down, getting the whole picture, and not just judging from the sound bites? Is there some way of getting more people to do it?

Who really knows. I think only time will tell.

...one has to wonder how the right ever gained control of two of the three branches of government. Some would argue that the right has virtual control of the Supreme Court as well.

One would also have to wonder why the so-called liberal media bosses didn't bury the Lewinsky affair during the Clinton administration.

[Jim Franklin]

As I see it, Fox news has the motto of 'fair and balanced' which seems to make it far to the right of the other media sources which as I have said are not even in left field, the left field stands or the adjacent parking lot. To me that makes Fox news fair and balanced in straight away centerfield. Having studied journalism I am a watch dog on the media biases. Again, if the news media had investigated bc as thouroughly before the 1992 election as they did the more conservative candidates that accident would never have occured and thus the debauching of the White House and the degrading of the highest office in the land. Some years back someone published a poll of journalists and found that hardly any attended a place of worship, were heavy drinkers, had had a multiplicity of partners. voted heavily for Liberals etc. and we are supposed to expect fair reporting? Is it any wonder that Christians, Christianity and especially evangelicalism get a mocking from most of the main media groups? In the spring of 1970 an official spoke of the Sunday afternoon meeting of the leading media personel every Sunday afternoon on Long Island to decide how the expected news of the next week would be slanted. Newsreader Roger Mudd on the Sunday afternoon news said he had "just come from that meeting and that it was a very fine meeting." "Nattering nabobs of negativism."
