The world will be a more dangerous place after Bush

I agree with you, I just wish it weren’t so. It suggests that we have to permit a certain level of murdering of our people to stay alert. Maybe I’m just wishing.

Duncan Hunter is going to appear on Neil Cavuto’s show 4 p.m. EST. Pass it along!

BTW, you’re right about Hunter standing up to the Russians.

This is a great analysis. In fact, I believe a major attack will occur on the last week of Bush’s term, possibly the last day. Just a guess, but in line with your thinking.

Look for the Chinese to test us on Taiwan if Hillary is elected.

No question about that. History will not look kindly on a US that tosses Taiwan to the Chinese barbarians. As for current events, when the Chicoms conquer we can be sure the MSM will avoid the phrase "Peace in our Time."

Problem is, if a major attack occurs after Pres. Bush leaves office, *HE* WILL BE BLAMED.

I think they might go farther than just blame him.

With the far left becoming increasingly vicious, I think they will try to put both Bush and Cheney on some sort of trial for "war crimes", mysterious "crimes against the constitution", and even "crimes against the earth and environment". I don't believe he is even remotely guilty of such, but that is what they think.

It would just go to show that Bush was too nice to Clinton, he really did deserve to be prosecuted.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves now shall we. You speak of the successes - and that is all fine and dandy - but from my perspective I see a growing weakness. A weakness that is acting to embolden our enemies.

The War in Iraq is only one issue - But overall I see A nation and a people falling all over themselves to accommodate and appease their adversaries.

What do you think countries like China and Russia are thinking?

For Christ's sake we don't even have the courage to name our enemy - what is this "War on Terrorism" crap? What message do you think we send to "the world" when we make it clear that our hands are bound by political correctness?

There are a lot of factors in play here.

Your points are well taken — and the article doesn’t contradict them.

The irony is that the WOT (or whatever it should be called) has been so successful at keeping immediate threats away, that people have been lulled into a false sense of security. Democrats, and their ilk in other countries, have convinced themselves that there is no actual threat — or that everything done in the name of security has the opposite effect.

The world is probably in for a rude awakening in 2008.
