Quote by: Apeman What are the democrat's plans for fighting terrorists? |
As I said during the last election, Bush screwed things so badly by going into Iraq that there was absolutely nothing Kerry or the Democrats
could do to unscrew us. So obviously the only thing we can do in Iraq is to carry on and try to make the best of it.
That doesn't change the fact that the the blithering incompetence of our resident Peter Principle case study, Boy George, his cabal of day dreaming Neo-Cons, and their feckless toadies in Congress have screwed this country royal. Their adventure in Iraq has been a disaster, to say nothing of the non-stop trail of incompetence that has milestoned the entire length of Dear Leader's regime, from ignoring the terrorist problem in the first place, to the Iraq war, to Social Security reform, to Katrina, to the Medicare drug reform, to the exploding deficit piled with Republican's runaway pork barrel budgets, to his refusal to deal with energy and the environment, to his hamstringing of American science, to Harriet Miers, to... etc. etc. etc.
As to the War on Terror, Bush made my point the other day in his speech, when he spoke of the foiled plot to attack Los Angeles. As much as he tried to imply that his plan is working, the fact is that plot wasn't undone by our wiretaping Americans or with military might. It was done by the very thing I've been advocating since before the war started... Internationally cooperative POLICE work!!!
Alas, that doesn't suit the conservative's John Wayne image of ourselves. It's merely effective. Double alas, Bush has made us an international pariah state and hamstrung international cooperation with us, to say nothing of giving terrorist states free reign to ignore us, since we're so bogged down in Iraq. Lebanon, the Palestinians, Egypt, Iraq and Iran have all democratically elected more radical, fundamentalist Islamic governments. Iran, who we once thought was leaning towards moderation, has become as aggressively radical as ever... with impunity... and will very likely be the guiding hand over Iraq's new Shiite Islamist government.
Way to go, Republicans.
Your premise here is fairly pathetic, Apeman, plucked straight from the GOP playbook. Make the Democrats look weak on terrorism, while completely ignoring that the current administration and their lackey's in Congress have fouled things up so badly internationally and domestically that there really isn't anything the Democrats CAN do beyond trying to mend fences internationally, remind Americans of what Bush has wrought and simply reasure the world and Americans that the Bush days will mercifully soon be over.
