Remember the last campaign when gore said terrorism was our greatest threat and Bush was talking about conventional forces. 9/11 was his lapse. How things going in afghanistan? Sure hope he does better in Iraq.

Counter-terrorism is a bi-partisan issue and a global issue. We can take out terrorists with surgical covert strikes without invading whole countries and having to occupy them for ten years. In the case of Iraq, we will lose more troops occupying the place than we did invading it, and the hundreds of billions will pile up. This could have been avoided by a more moderate diplmatic approach with the UN. Saddam would still be out of power but we'd have peacekeepers in there taking the burden off our troops and tax-payers. The UN as it turns out was not "irrelevant" at all. Bushies were just feverishly dead-set on a unilateral rush to war, and to convicne us to go along with it, they lied and exaggerated their heads off. No excuse for it. Lying about the threat in Vietnam doomed the Johnson presidency and the lies of Iraq may doom Bush's.
