Gosh, I guess all the people who said there is no difference between the two parties and that Bush is as bad as Gore were right after all. This looks exactly like the same policy Gore would anounce. /sarcasm

The NWO folks have had this policy in their pockets since the Berlin Wall came down.

Al Gore would indeed have done the same thing. Only it would have been called "Forward Engagement", as in the DEM platform of 2000. The Democrats couldn't bring themselves to use such a masculine term as "strike first", and "pre-emption" to them sounds like something Bill Clinton did in the oval office with the pizza girl.

It is sad that GW has chosen to emulate McKinley, and T.R., when the appropriate reaction to international terrorism should be more like Eisenhower and Golda Meir.

It is ironic because GW's father was a company man, including the top spot, all his life. I guess Barbara's belligerent/pious gene won out.
