Let's go back to 2001. After the attack on us we HAD to kick someones ass. That was Afganistan. Now lets imagine you are President Bush what would you have done next?

Secure our border with Mexico

or


Liberate Iraq/War on Terror.

I voted for him twice but I think he should have took care of our border problem first. I think the majority of America feels the same way.

I give him a 8 out of 10 rating.

I would misunderestimate my nookyouler strategery.






If I were Pres. Bush, I would have done a lot of things differently.  But just for this issue, my "coin" would have flipped to the side of a bigassed wall along all points that didnt have a Port of Entry with armed border guards and the cooperation (and training exercises) of the border states's National Guard units through binding agreements with the governors.

I'm sure there are some really hot Secret Service chicks around that I would start humping the White House hallways.
I would probably launch bunch of nukes for the fun it at countries that piss me off like New Jersey and Antarctica.  
I would put children to work in the West Virginia coal mines because they are too dangerous for humans and I would sent old people out to sea on leaky boats.

Neither.

If we were going to war against a non/incidentally involved nation anyway I say we should have hit Russia/China in a massive simultaneous pre-emptive  first strike.

All this proxy shit is getting tired and they'd never have seen it coming.

Was that a serious question?

Than of the THREE choices presented I've gotta go with WOT, although any serious WOT would have to include securing the borders to some degree.

You are correct. Bush is a conservative businessman first. Keeping the borders open means cheap labor. Cheap labor mean more profit. If you owned an oil business would you rather pay $6/ hour to illegal aliens or $15+/hour for Americans to do the same work?

If you have 10,000 workers getting paid $6/hour instead of $15/hour. You just saved....

$90,000 per hour

$2,160,000 per day

$788,400,000 per year

The two are not inconsistent or mutually exclusive.  

Securing the border and kicking ass in the middle east are BOTH necessary components of a comprehensive war on terror.  It's not like we cannot afford it, since Congress is spending like a drunken sailor in Bangkok who just won the lottery anyway.

Exactly.  But, if I had to choose, I would say secure the border first.  It is an integral part of the overall security picture and an open route in for terrorists.  Makes no sense to fight somewhere else and they come crawling into our back yards.  

Don't they "Tiger Team" anything any more?  Or, at least think that way.  Were I planning to attack the US, one of the first things I would do is look for ways to infiltrate "my people" into the US, even before any open/frontal confrontation.  That open border (Ho Chi Minh Trail in our back yard) is one of a number of ways.  I'm sure the Pentagon planners are a lot smarter than I or will at least tell you they are.  So, get to it.  No, a sly grin and "we're dealing with it" doesn't cut it.  If Mexicans can make it across, then "others" can, too, especially if well financed arrangements have been made on this side.

As far as even the excessive number of Mexicans and other work immigrants (illegal) filtering through Mexico, they can be in sufficient numbers to disrupt parts of the economy.  Handy to have happening inside an enemy country.

If I were president I would eliminate the minimum wage. Then American companies could pay American workers $6/hour, and it would be a real living wage.

If I'm the Prez???

First thing I do is resign for total incompetence.

Second I hope people dont realize that I may very well be a war criminal for waging acts of war on a sovereign independent nation that DID NOT attack me and DID NOT have WMD's like I claimed.

Third thing I apologize to the American Public for spending HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS on a war that should have never been.

Forth, I apologize for being stupid and taking my eye off the ball - OUR ENEMY was and IS Bin Ladden.  I let him get away while lauching a war and invading a country that DID NOT attack us.

Fifth.  I thank all the bone heads on AR 15 that are too dumb to realize that me and my advisors strired up a hornets nest in Iraq.  America's are dieing every week because of my dumb decisions. ETA I apologise to the mothers of those Americans - what terrible family losses have been inflicted because I got it wrong.    I am the Number one recruiter for new terrorists - hundrends, thousands of unemployed uneducated ignorant rag heads that used to be content eating figs and treating women like property now have a "cause" of killing the "infidel" thanks to me.

Sixth --- do I need to go on?  This guy is a travesty- your CHILDREN will be paying for the mistakes he's made these past 6 years.  He is so poor that he makes that bum Clinton look good.  
With such a lousy Pres it amazes me that the democrates are so pathetic that they can't mount a credible challenger.

The Ar15.com answer... do both.  I think border security though is going to be alot more than just securing our borders and ensuring no illegals come over.  After we build some sort of wall on the US/Mexican border, we really need to pass some laws to ensure that all illiegals get the fucking boot, and we need to aggressively go after them and business who hire illegals.

There isn't going to be a wall put up. If they start working on it they will do it as slow as they can and delay it as much as they can.

I don't care for  Republicans or Demecrats. I know I'll be grabbing my ankles no matter who is elected. I just vote for the one that gives me the towel afterwards.
