Look at the following quotes made by bin Laden and DC Democrats and decide whether those observations were on point. MISDEEDS OF US SOLDIERS IN IRAQ: Both Osama and Senator John Kerry seem to agree that American soldiers in Iraq are committing acts of terror against Iraqi women. Osama talks specifics while Senator Kerry generally blasts American soldiers for "terrorizing" women and children. Bin Laden: "The U.S. Army and its agents take to the point where there is no significant difference between these crimes and those of Saddam. These crimes include the raping of women and taking them hostage." John Kerry: "And there’s no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women." AMERICA WILL LOSE TO OSAMA’S ALLIES: Both Osama and Howard Dean agree that the conclusion of the Iraq War is a foregone conclusion, and both agree that America is doomed. Bin Laden: "The wise ones know that Bush has no plan to achieve his alleged victory in Iraq." Howard Dean, DNC Chairman: "The idea that we’re going to win this war is an idea that, unfortunately, is just plain wrong." Democratic leaders like Dean and Kerry, as well as Ted Kennedy and Richard Durbin, have provided grist for OBL’s anti-American messages. That’s why I believe that Democrats who strongly disagree with the President’s foreign policy objectives must demand that their leaders do four things: 1. Shut up. 2. Develop a viable alternative to Bush policies. 3. Measure all words before attacking the Commander in Chief during a time of war. 4. Understand that most Americans believe we are living through a time of war. I know it’s wishful thinking but I can’t resist trying to help. But maybe the Party of Kennedy is beyond help. Maybe that’s why George Bush continues using national security issues to pound Democrats into the ground on the one issue they just don’t get.
