"It is still the economy stupid"

In fact isn't what this thread all about. Opposing NAFTA even though there is no record of where Edwards opposed it. But the fact remains that Edwards good showing is attributed to people who feel the economy is in the doldrums and that there are 2 Americas.

What nukes, Saddam etc.???!!!!

That's the most stupidest argument I have ever heard. Here is Pakistan who has openly declared that they have been proliferating nukes and all Bush could say to Musharraf's effort was that's supposed to be a good thing. OTOH, a suspected WMD manufacturing nation got pummelled.

That is not strong foreign policy. It is stupid one. IRAQ was all about personal vengeance, oil and stoking the ego of macho right wingers.

I would have a better appreciation for Bush's foreign policy if he had his priorities straight. Osama Bin Laden being the top one.

Further, he has pissed of 90% of the world.. and more than 45% of his own countrymen, how can you claim that he has been a good leader?

Ah ha, so now Libya was the big threat to us, not Saddam.
Our entire war in Iraq was just to scare Kaddafi. But wait, hasn't Kaddafo been a moderate for more than a decade? Adn did negotiations with him start way before GW came into power? And don't the Texas oilmen have a big $$$ incentive to make peace with Kaddafi?

Credit to Reagan, ever since RR bombed Kaddafi he has not been a threat to the US or our allies. That was 20 some years ago. Pakistani scientists, yes, but then why wasn't Bush concentrating on that threat instead of Saddam? Why hasn't Bush gone after the former Soviet stockpiles? And why leave North Korea alone for so long and make the Axis of Evil speech?

Bush has some explaining to do on national defense.
