A Failed George Bush Foreign Policy: Six years later Osama Bin Laden Still Alive/Free Inflicting Havoc; Pakistan's Future in Shambles:
While Theodore Roosevelt's "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick" approach could have worked for us in our war against Osama Bin Laden and terrorism, in contrast to George Bush's "Speak Loudly and Carry a Hand Grenade" approach which FAILED miserably against this war mainly in Pakistan and left that little nation in chaos and turmoil.
It's been over six years that America was attacked September 11, 2001 by terrorists that killed over three thousands Americans. It was one of our darkest periods in our history.
While conservatives like to focus on former president Bill Clinton about his failure to capture Osama Bin Laden during his administration these same conservatives forget that George Bush's failure is far worse.

George Bush and his cronies may have just made a disastrous political blunder that may not only affect the future of Pakistan but may bring more unwanted chaos towards world events and America.
We all know that you cannot reason with insanely minded religious zealots that are bent in killing you. Take Israel's long bouts with Muslim religious extremists as a lesson.
George Bush has completely failed with his FOCUS on the war on terrorism against Al-Qaida in Pakistan what's even scarier for America and Americans is that we do not have
