So the Dems can not possibly be serious about the WOT if it is not their top issue?


It's not any issue for them. They try to avoid talking about it completely. That's why I said it was pretty evident that they do not rate it as a top issue, or take it as seriously as the Republicans do. Now of course political calculations enter into it, the issue works for the Republicans better than for the Democrats, but that's also a function of not having any program beyond opposing the Republicans.

Because if many of the leading Democrats explained what they really want to do - go back to the failed policies of treating terrorism as a criminal matter - they would lose much of the support they now have.
