We announce to you the deployment of an enormous German military force. Any resistance is perfectly futile [The Germans are Borg!]. Germany guarantees the territorial integrity in Europe and Overseas, as well as the dynasty, if any resistance remains absent. If not, then a danger exists of complete annihilation of the country and its form of government. Therefore we admonish you urgently to make an appeal to the people and the military forces and furthermore to establish a line of communication with the German military commanders. Motivation: We have irrefutable proof of an imminent threat of invasion by France and England in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, which had long been prepared with the joint knowledge of the Netherlands and Belgium, with the purpose of attacking the Ruhr area.

June 5, 1942 Dept. of State Bulletin, June 6, 1942. "JOINT RESOLUTION Declaring that a state of war exists between the Government of Bulgaria and the Government and the people of the United States and making provisions to prosecute the same. (Public Law 563, 77th Congress.) "Whereas the Government of Bulgaria has formally declared war against the Government and the people of the United States of America: Therefore be it "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled, That the state of war between the United States and the Government of Bulgaria which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Government of Bulgaria; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States. "Approved, June 5, 1942." (Joint resolutions declaring a state of war with Hungary and Rumania, mutatis mutandis, were also approved June 5, 1942.) (Public Law 564 and 565, respectively.)

While it's true it happened under Bush, the stage was set for more attacks during the Clinton era. Had Clinton done his job, there would have been no 9/11. And after that terrorist attack, at least we get a response from the Bush Administration. Unlike Clinton, the Bush Administration at least acknowledges terrorism exists, we're at risk from it, and it needs to be confronted. And since 9/11, no major attacks against us on US soil. And to add to that, the technology transfers to China [sponsored by the US government under Clinton (D)] stopped under Bush(R). The Republicans may not be the best bunch, but at least you know they're on our side. Meanwhile the Democrats are doing everything in their power to make the USA lose this war, providing comfort to Islamic fanatics with deadlines, Demoralizing our soldiers with their rhetoric, and dishonoring all who have been deployed to the Iraq theatre of war.

In other good news, The Democrat Congress's approval rating is at 29%.

True, But Clinton didn't respond. He let things go to the point where it could and would happen again. Several times over. Bush Sr. at that point was gone and powerless to do anything. Bush Jr. responded after his first confrontation with it. And is confronting terrorism now. And every single action he takes, the Democrats demand it stop. Meaning the Democrats don't want to confront it. The Democrats are against wire-tapping suspected terrorists calling to Pakistan and such, the Democrats want to shut down Guantanamo, the Democrats want those same terrorists from the battlefield to be given US attorneys and constitutional protections, the Democrats want to oddly apply the Geneva conventions to terrorists despite them being unlawful combatants, the Democrats want to undercut us in the Iraqi theatre by demanding deadlines and withdrawal (surrender).

This is the topic. Democrats don't think it's a war. The Democrats even wanted to ban "War on Terror" as a way to describe our current foreign policy. The fact is, Democrats don't understand we are at war. They will not fight it. They will not protect American lives. What they will do is undermine their own country. They will demoralize our troops. They will provide comfort to terrorists in theatre.

Zogby poll yesterday showed Congress at 29%. Despite all the people saying Bush is irrelevant becausae he's at 33% approval, I wonder where that leaves the slim majority of Democrats in Congress.

I don't know what you've been smoking. But it must be good. Your "arguments" leave alot to be desired.

Go read a history book.
