Iraq is a major battle in the larger War on Terror. Since Sept 11 the Bush Adm has wisely placed it's priority on taking the offense not waiting for the terrorists to strike the homeland yet again. Iraq is the battlefield that has drawn large numbers of al Qaeda & other Islamic fundamentalists like bees to honey. Would you prefer the terrorists win their 1st choice of location for the war they've declared on the USA, which is NYC/LA or Miami?

<<some would argue that Bush has assured its priority by invading Iraq.>>

the deficit as a %tage of the GDP has grown under GOP presidents and decreased under Dem presidents

Clinton's big secrets are:
He inherited a robust economy in recovery
The Roth IRA caused billions of dollars to get voluntarily taxed, which inflated receipts. Tax payments were accelerated into the current year, and following three years as boomers and others saw the tax benefit of tax free accumulation.
He left a recession.

with Poland withdrawing next year

We will see if they do so. A Bush victory might inspire them to re-evaluate the decision.
