That you disagreed with the WH on the issue of a 30 year in the making problem is fine (so did I for the most part). But that is how our Gov't works. To suggest everyone within our political party needs to be some cookie-cutout is non-serious and silly.
Hell R. Reagan was a terrible POTUS/CINC then as well. Since he gave full and blanket amnesty to all illegals who were here prior to 1982 (along with those here from in 85 or 86)
Reality is we are at war with a terrorist element that has no set borders. That thrives and exists because the Middle East has remained in the dark ages. The world is simple too small and to easily dangerous any longer to ignore it, or to allow them to stay in the dark ages.
It must be dragged out of them for our own NS. GWB understood this reality. With that goes along with the fact that this process is going to be long, extremely difficult and frustrating at times...(which is why UBL and other mimics like him don't believe we have the stomach for such difficult tasks).
Are you living in a parallel universe? You need to hear what the BP agents are saying or the Minutemen who are on the border. You can only spin reality so far.
No reality is we are not at war, we have merely placed our young men and women in a battlefield to be shot at, while letting the enemies take refuge all over the world. Turn loose the powers we have on the enemies and we will then be in a war, of short duration.
Remember Korea
Remember Vietnam...
Compare the outcome at Dresden to Faluja then come back on this thread and talk about war.
