The administration has got to get the threat right and convey it clearly so our nation will wake up, drown out those who want to cut and run, remember 9-11 every day, and act accordingly. Hi Gary, I find it frustrating the way complex situations are oversimplified into a slogan which may or may not relate to the truth. As long as people in our country just want to stand on opposite side of the fence and shout catch phrases at each other, IMO, America will find itself in a precipitous decline. No progressive of any consequence has ever proposed a "cut and run" policy. That is just a phrase that is kicked out there as a divisive political tool. Even Dennis Kucinich who wants us to immediately withdraw from Iraq (the "cut" allegation) has a four point plan to fight terrorism and stop the bloodshed. But most progressives say that leaving Iraq is not an option. John Kerry campaigned saying he wanted to do what George Bush was doing only do it better. There just is no "cut and run" out there. Progressives see what is at stake as clearly as neo-conservatives. They just have different ideas about how to resolve these important issues. No ones eyes are closed. No one is burying their head in the sand or any other place:) It is not a matter of cowardice or courage. Everyone just has different visions on how to make the world a better place. And it could become a better place with we would talk and listen to each other. Sadly, politics has become about winning. Regardless of political philosophy, it should be about public service. I just believe that we somehow have to transcend all of this shouting down the other side with meaningless two and three word slogans, or we are cutting our own throats and making the future into a living hell for those that inherit the world we are making. --Coz
