I like how the new fear tactic the freeps use. That Obama making all these decisions will lead to Osama (Even tho he is nothing but a PR image now) or some other wackjob to attack america. Almost to the point where they hope it will happen. (And don't tell me some of the deeper right wing wackos don't)
Like I said, Get new material. And no the Bear reference went out a decade ago.
In case you have not noticed. We are the laughing stock of the world. What good would they get from hitting us? It would unite the world against them again. They've won in Iraq, They will wait patiently for decades if they have to but the moment we are finally out of that hellhole they will get oggles of money from China and Iran for their oil assets.
Want to defeat them? Get us the HELL out of this dependance on their oil. That is the only way. Not gitmo, Not constant war, not Patriot act 2.

This is the one that really strikes the nerve of you guys. Because you know it's true. I know you don't realize it, or you have just conveniently forgotten how many terrorist attacks occured during Clinton's reign. And the unfocused and impotent responses to each occurence. It's really too bad Clinton did not pursue terrorism as the threat that it is. Ultimately the threat was able to build up to the point that the WTC was destroyed on 9/11. During the Clinton era, the terrorist element struck the WTC as well in 1993. People died there and many were injured. Yes, Mr. Clinton was derelict in his duty. And the culmination of Clinton's policies of appeasement ended on October 12, 2000 with the USS Cole attack. The terrorist element was stronger and bolder after the end of 8 years of virtually impotent responses to their vile acts. Nothing you can do to alleviate that fact. It is a matter of historical record. No amount of liberal "faith" can remove it. It is what it is. But I do enjoy the spin you provide. But that's all it is.....excuses and spin. Typical.
The material is all relevant to today. So no "new material" is required. And the facts are inescapable for you. In terms of being a laughing stock....I thought we were loved now that the annointed "One" has been elected. What happened Zach? On a more serious note, when it comes to our national security, opinions of other nations mean squat to me. Good or bad. I like cooperation and mutual trust among allied nations. But our national security concerns should not seek approval from the whiners before we carry out whatever we need to, to ensure the peace and security of our people. Obviously, our newly elected government currently gives more priority to seeking approval from other nations prior to acting in defense of this country, national security comes after that. Been there, done that. Unfortunately that does nothing to truly secure our people's lives or interests, and proves you pay no attention to historical precedents.
I've heard of liberal revisionist history, but this is beyond the scope of reality.
Last time I checked we've pretty much routed every single terrorist element in Iraq. We control everything but one tiny area. Iraq is now a self governing nation as well. The focus now goes to Afghanistan.

Sometimes I think libs just say things that sound nice and pretty, but don't truly understand anything that they say. They've hit us multiple times in the 90's. And are waiting to do it again. Your problem is you want a unified world that sings Kumbaya that doesn't act against terrorist threats, rather than a focused nation that responds to threats despite opinions of the whiners. It does absolutely no good to have the Eurolefties love us if we're allowing our people to be targeted in heinous terrorist acts, and for allowing threats to be built. This is why I say modern day liberals in power, especially in a time of war, is a dangerous prospect.
