Why Didn't Bush Ask Us?

When Osama ben Ladin offered a long-term truce, Bush turned him down flat.

This seems very much like his previous "bring 'em on" bluster.

Bush likes to talk big as long as the lives being risked are not his family's.

If Bush had asked me, I would have said "A long-term truce? Let's find out what Osama wants in return." Maybe what Osama wants, we are willing to give.

Instead, Bush put my life and my wife's life on the line, since we live in New York City and that is the site of Osama's biggest hit.

Is Bush protecting me or is he propping up his puny ego at my expense?

What a sorry excuse for a President!
