It didn’t say anything about Bush or his website, it was a smear campaign about Kerry, (the validity of which I neither care about nor will attempt to debate here.)
So what's your point?

Re: All I can say is...
 

what difference will it to his re- election chances by not allowing foreigners to view the web site?

Re: All I can say is...
 

Hmm Ged I took you for a conservative.

Personally I don't care either way. Europeans are another main source of Bush bashing, and I am sure Bush doesn't want to deal with them a few days before the election.

Doesn't matter anyway, I think Bush is going to win, as much as it hurts to say this. All he needs is Ohio and Florida, and it looks like both are going his way.

Im not sure of the significance of forigners being able to view the site or not...

Re: All I can say is...
 

He probably gets thousands upon thousands of e-mails a day from pissed off, left-wing europeans. This could possiblely slow down his site. He might also be getting cyber attacks from the same pissed off, left-wing europeans. They don't have a say in the election so why even bother with them. It cost more bandwidth and money to run it world wide. Maybe he is using the extra money to run another advertisement? All of these are possible and there is nothing wrong with closing HIS website if he wants to.

Re: All I can say is...
 

The cost-cutting theory sounds most likely. If enough foreigners were downloading videos, that could put up bandwidth requirements significantly. And as people have said, foreigners being able to see a website doesn't really effect the election. It just pisses them off even more and leads to people throwing the words 'xenophobe' and 'paranoid' around. But then, we all knew how much he respects international opinion already, so I don't think it changes anything. It certainly serves no political purpose. It doesn't benefit Bush in anyway. I doubt very, very much he's even involved in the running of the website anyway, especially as he doesn't even seem to know what the 'internets' is. Terrorists could just hire hackers or people in the US to view the page for them, assuming they actually care about some propaganda. I don't see any nefarious reason for doing this, beyond cutting bandwidth requirements significantly. And let's face it, I'm sure that this election has encouraged more foreign interest than any other in history, so it's perfectly possible that their bandwidth was taken up by foreigners. And at the end of the day, so far as Bush's policy makers are concerned, we're irrelevant to the US election anyway, so in their eyes we have no purpose to be downloading material from their website.

I just hope that every other country starts blocking their own political websites to US viewers in response. Not that a large percentage of Americans would bother looking at foreign politics anyway.

Yes, Kerry was wrong for telling the truth about war crimes in Vietnam. Sure.Why did 2 million civilians die then? I hate nationalism. It's sad some people are blind to what happened in the Vietnam war because of their own denial based in nationalism. I applaud Sen.Kerry for testifying.

Please post your crap elsewhere.

Re: All I can say is...
 

It was wrong for him to tell the truth AT THAT TIME. If he has waited unitl the war was over and all the prisoners were home then it would have been OK because it wouldn't have impacted the prisoners in Vietnam (because they wouldn't be there).

Re: All I can say is...
 

Falsely accusing your squadmates of being baby killers is something I do not honor, nor anyone should. John Kerry was part of the protest movement that made G.I.'s coming back from hell feel like utter shit. They go over half of the world away, from their warm beds and comforts of home to fight an absolutely tenacious enemy, and upon their return, people such as John Kerry label them as men who slaughtered innocents, killed children, and raped women.

The VC used John Kerry's speeches to humiliate POW's while they were being tortured, and Jane Fonda, a good friend of John Kerry's, mocked them as they were being beaten.

This is not the kind of man I want as President.
