You know, the left and Clinton permitted OBL to run unchecked in his attacks on America. And OBL cites specifically that incident in Somalia when we pulled out.
Now imagine we weren't in Iraq and didn't take out Zarqawi. Would he have turned into another OBL and attacked America directly? There's no way to know the answer to that question, but I'm delighted we have a President who wasn't willing to find out.

I don't buy this theory of Chris's that the American People are losing faith over the Iraq situation. That's media mythology as far as I am concerned.

Excellent caller on CSPAN reminded viewers that we were at war with Iraq for 12 years and 16 UN resolutions. President Bush decided to wrap it up, but did not think that "wrapping it up" would satisfy Americans, so used the WMD reason for going in.
We do tend to forget the 12 years of no-fly zones, accusations of children dying because of UN sanctions, "palaces" springing up everywhere, etc.

Russert was on Imus show when Rove news broke out. He sounded like he lost millions & saying nothing is going to help the Prez on Iraq, touting NBC poll saying 60% would vote for candidated calling for early pull-out of troups.
Same day ONLY 6 dems.voted for that, 93 against and NOBODY seems to believe the media polls nowadays.

Morning, Peach
"You know, the left and Clinton permitted OBL to run unchecked in his attacks on America. And OBL cites specifically that incident in Somalia when we pulled out."
No, no peach you are confused. It was hate radio that was responsible for our problems. (s) Why only last night Mort Kondracke stated that talk radio (read Rush) ALL republicans all worked up about you know what.
Sow you see, it wasn't OBL or Zarqawi or Saddam. It's the New Media! (more s)
