They were terrorists in hibernation, before we woke them up and kicked their collective asses. We got them on the streets of Baghdad before they got us on the streets of New York and Los Angeles.

Only ignorance speaks against invasion, never mind, if the invasion speaks of ignorance.

It could have been worse had he not allowed wiretapping without warrants. Really, who has the time for warrants? This is war on terror — and time is the difference between life and death. You gotta trust your guts more than your facts.

It could have been worse had we still been enjoying the same freedom and liberties that we enjoyed five years ago. Because it's more expensive to protect more freedom, and less expensive to protect less freedom. Besides, the terrorists hate our freedom — why keep giving them the reason they hate us for?

It could have been worse had he stuck to the Constitution. The terrorists don't have one, do they? Now it's a fair game.

It could have been worse without the signing statements, because they make his tasks so easy.

It could have been worse had he followed the Geneva convention, international laws and didn't have those dark prisons of the CIA and Gitmo. Without those tortured confessions, and abuses at the prisons, how could you expect him to prevent another 9/11?

People who talk about the rights of detainees and their rights to access the courts and their right to see the evidence against them have no idea what they are getting into. We got them there, didn't we? And who knew what they had in mind? Too bad, if most of them were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You know, there's no reason why the President should get bogged down by the laws, congress, courts and other constitutional checks and balances. Yes, he loves riding the bike and over-riding the laws but he only did all of that for America.

You know, it could have been worse had George Bush not made the right decisions.
