Hold up there. Bush will not wage war against Syria just to get re-elected. That suggestion is Clintonian. Bush would never do that. If we don't find WMD's in Iraq (and they were there) then Bush will take the hit like a man. He would never risk American lives for an election. We elected him because he was the anti-Clinton.

Here, here!

The Dems *want* us to attack Syria, because they (correctly) anticipate the backlash against Bush that it would bring. I said it before, and I'll say it again: we don't need to go after Syria militarily. With the right pressure, they'll gladly send the Iraqis packing. They want the Golan Heights back, and staying on our good side is the *only* way it'll happen. Attacking them would only play into the Left's hands.

"Bush will not wage war against Syria just to get re-elected."

Who here hasn't had 8 agonizing years of watching what a democrat will do with the power of the presidency? Just re-elected? You sound like you don't know what the democratic party is -- a criminal conspiracy to destroy America.
