Yep, clearly all Dems are liberal and weak of defense. I mean, yeah, all wars fought in the US up to the 1990's had been started by and led by a Democratic President, but well just ignore that little fact. Saddam is no sanit, the US had, and still has, bigger things to worry about. Although Bush is right when he says we wont really 'win' a war of terror(theres really no such thing) we need to focus on destroying terrorist cells that are a direct threat to the US and also strengthening our National Security. Our intelligence needs to get stronger, hell its like our agents still talk Russian! This isint a ground war where we can win by matching them troop by troop, we need to beef up our intelligence agencies and Special Forces. We need to evolve to fight them. If they fight dirty, then we should use counter guerilla tactics with small, highly skilled units. Fight them in the streets, berat them at urban warfare. Now Ill say this, the military is doing a good job at this, and you have to repect their commitment and training.

Bush was doing a fine job handling terror from late 2001- till late 2002. We succesfully broke up the Taliban government and captured most of Al Qaeda. All im simply saying is our direction shouldnt not have shifted, period.

A comparison between Clinton and Bush on Bin Laden is not fair. Clinton was never struck with an attack of the magnitude of Bush. Plus, Clinton was SHOWERED in other issues he had to tackle. People voted him in the build up the economy and work on Domestic Issues, and thats EXACTLY what he did. Not to mention he also had the Kosovo incident throughout the 90's.

Whether your a Repub or Dem, Clinton led us to 8 happy, prosperous years. Thats not just my opinion either, just look at the election results, polls, and his following.

The thing about this war is that there was no pertinent need to take down Saddam Hussein. It could not have been retaliation for 9/11. Unless you consider attacking a secular Socialist regime to deal with Fundamentalist Islamic terrorists a good idea.

 

What the answer was to put together a military force to find and arrest/kill Osama Bin Laden and other key Al Qaeda leaders. After you've taken care of that, then investigate wether or not to invade Iraq and topple that regime. You then put together a military strategy, an estimate of necessary military force, and then an exit strategy. Throughout all that you consult just about every military advisor you can find wandering about the White House and the Pentagon.

 

Holy moly, I'm smarter than the president. I think we need to stop the divisive mud-slinging, and have intelligent discourse with each other. We can agree or agree to disagree and come to compromises and conclusions. If we can do that, we'd realize how many of us agree on so many things and could understand each other's views on things we don't agree on. I really hope Joe Biden really does run with McCain as his running mate as he hinted on the Daily Show. Maybe we could start coming together as a country with differing and converging views that can really improve this country and make it better. I'll stop babbling now, thank you.

Joe Biden and John McCain would be an awesome ticket.

 

What made me angriest of all was when Dick Cheney went on TV and said, "Are we going to wait to attack until there is a mushroom cloud over New York?" They were feeding us total BS from the beginning. He knew already that they couldn't have a nuclear program.
