The American people see steady progress. Thats all they can ask at the moment. I have not met anybody, at work, in my extended family, that is upset about the pace that this is going. Haven't heard a word of it. Bush's approval ratings are still sky high. We're capturing high level terrorists. Bush masterfully painted both the UN and Democratic Senate into a corner of sorts. In fact, the Democrats are attempting to slow the pace further.

This article is more wishing and hoping rather than an actual reflection of American sentiment.

The article was not about the American sentiment. It was about President Bush. And it certainly is the case that when the President's ratings were sky-high, he could have pushed through higher military budgets. The President did not have to cave on the federalization of airport security; indeed, he could have instituted Israeli-style security and profiling at the airports.

Dems Fume as Al Qaeda Cell Political Ties Revealed

Democratic Party insiders are said to be furious over published reports identifying the five al Qaeda cell members arrested over the weekend in Lackawanna, New York as registered Democrats.

Sunday's Buffalo News initially revealed the inconvenient detail, noting first that "members of Lackawanna's Yemeni community describe the five arrested men as 'all-American.'"

"They include a telemarketer, a used car salesman and a former high school soccer star who was named friendliest in his class. Four are married, and three have children. All are registered voters — Democrats," announced USA Today on Monday, picking up the News report.

News of the al Qaeda cell's political affiliation can only exacerbate the party's already growing image as being soft on terrorism. Monday morning, for instance, noting that the Lackawanna five will be unable to go to the polls in the future, WABC Radio's Curtis Sliwa joked, "There's five less votes for Hillary Clinton."

Some Republicans see the "Al Qaeda were Democrats" reports as poetic justice.

Over the years, Democratic Party spinmeisters and their liberal media friends have repeatedly attempted to make hay over the political ties of domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, whom President Clinton once tried to tie to conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh.
