To liberal kooks, the only way to be "non-isolationist" is to support European nonsense like the global warming fraud, nuclear masochism (as opposed to missile defense) and stifling socialist economics. Bush has never been isolations. He LEADS, where Clinton followed...

Bush Sr. was only a couple miles outside of Baghdad when he decided to call it quits there. Now, where are we? Going back to finish the job is the way it looks to me. Revisionist history, with a twist, at it's finest. Why can't you just be honest?

1. Bush Sr. didn't have a U.N. or Congressional mandate to go into Baghdad. He barely had a mandate to get Saddam out of Kuwait. Then - Sen. Gore sold his important vote for air time on the Senate floor, remember??. When it was even discussed, everybody wretched at the thought of house-to-house hand combat in the streets of Baghdad, which is what it would have taken, along with untold thousands of civilian casualties. That would have played well, wouldn't it? 2. You can't pretend that things didn't change -- for the worse -- in Afghanistan and the Middle East over the past 8 years (Clinton's 8 years). The peace process broke down while Clinton was still in office. 3. GW Bush has been in office for only 1 year now... only 9 months when the 9/11 attack occurred. Who was on duty for the 8 years preceding him? 4. Of course bioterror has come to the forefront since 9/11. Duh, I wonder why? That's not denied, and that's also just one issue. 5. Don't blame either Bush for escalation of the Mideast situation. Blame Arafat. He's had several chances for peace, and blown all of them. Of course, he's supported and goaded on by Saddam, et al., and most recently OBL since he found he might get some traction with the issue. Let's not start re-writing history, o.k.?
