Bush should be admitted in some asylum to make him shed the fear of those famous Alzaidi Shoes else he will ruin everything before 20th jan.

And he is showing more grace in ensuring a smooth handover of power than his distracters can stomach.
He has been the President since Jan 2001 and has done his best to keep us safe - some things we do not agree with, but no one can accuse him of doing things for personal reasons.
Remember the White House hotel of years gone by?
Be graceful and hope that our new President keeps as safe or safer in the years to come.

Of course Bush is still there.
But then, on January 20th, he'll be gone, and our long national nightmare will be over.

Yes, he is, but it should be clear to anyone that Bush is making every effort to create a smooth transition between his and Obama's administration, particularly with regard to national security issues. Coordination between the two teams reduces the likelihood of a terrorist attack on the US. If he does take action, it will be part of a effort that Obama plans to continue after he assumes office.

He may not be in charge yet, But his words seem to carry more wieght and a calming affect both here and internationaly.Yes Bush is stille in office and he has the power to send troops where he wants but no one wants that. So stop your belly aching over the lamest duck in my lifetime and face it.There is a new direction for our nation and its not all about god,guns and gays.

Tradionally, the west had always see this as a problem between Indian and Pakistan due to Kashmir. Here are some real facts to ponder
- No recent militant activities in India have voiced anything about Kashmir in the last few years. It is wrong to assume this.
- When there was a hijack of Indian plane from Nepal to Afgan - India was forced to release a pakistan based terrorist who went on to become a key member of the 9/11 attack.
Hopefully US does not undermine this event. India definetly will not be allowed to take "international law" into its hand...only US can.

Robert, I printed your comments concerning George Bush being in charge. Once Obama is President, I fear that you will have to write about a similar event happening in our country and I will send your comments to you to refresh your recollection. I only hope you are man enough to eat your bias comments. I doubt if you are.

I believe we will find this to be a 'regional' issue that took both the governments of Pakistan and India by surprise. Of course being members of the 'Nuclear elite', outside forces would relish an escalation between these two...Muslim extremists on the one side, and China on the other.
