What a concept.
Truth is, the Democrats WILL undermine security.
I hope the veto pen is out come mid-January.
The President is a powerful branch of government. This is something, somehow, the Democraps do not understand.
Nice of Bush to try and lighten the negative impact this election has made on the military but the fact is, many American citizens and nearly all it's politicians have turned their backs on the US military.
If we leave Iraq with out accomplishing our mission, the US military will never be deployed again. It's role will be purely defensive.
It's a damn shame how we've treated our military. They're dedication is unquestionable but our support of them and their mission, surely is.
"The message is clear. We will NOT build a single mile of fence on the Mexican border."
only one problem
proof of the pudding is in the eating
the mideasstern a$$hole are already dancing in the streets, with new bellicose promises. Empowered and emboldened.
thats how THEY see it....
ON this Bush is wrong big time.
I like him better beore the election: "The Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win and America loses. That's what's at stake in this election. The Democrat goal is to get out of Iraq. The Republican goal is to win in Iraq."
Still, Bush's point about this not shaking our will is the right thing to say. Bush will figure out the best survivable policy on Iraq that Congress will buy into , ie, meaning bipartisan support. If he needs to bring Lieberman or someone like that to help sell to Democrats, he will.
This is why Lieberman over Lamont was an important election. People werent satisfied with status quo in Iraq, *but* neither are they for defeat through withdrawal.
Response: Politspeak meaning Vote signals U.S. weakness.
"America's enemies should not read this week's ground-shaking election results as a sign of U.S. weakness. "
BS. That's precisely what they see. And they are correct.
