OK.
It's about time we started down the path of real self awareness here.
I am a supporter of Dubya and the administration, but this chopped-head-a-day has to stop.
This has been one of the most consistent failures of the admin - to deal swiftly and properly with these incidents. I've lost count of the beheadings since Berg in May. This is inexcusable.
There is simply no excuse for these failures. We know where large pockets of the enemy are - it is high time we decimate these types so that they can't do any harm to anyone anymore.
Clearly Kerry would be worse, but that's not to say that Bush is particularly good in this circumstance. The pattern has been clear: kidnapping, decapitation, then western leaders vow to bring them to justice, then off to a campaign stop. It's hard to see how anyone thought that strategy would work.
I hope someone at the town hall debates confronts Bush about this glaring weekenss - what he has been doing hasn't worked very well. It's time to take names and bust heads.
Bush & co simply have not risen to that challenge. A remarkable weakness of leadership, to me.
today in Connecticut - they found a baby stabbed to death. I am sure if we examined the typical 38 murders per day in the US, several would have had their throats cut - perhaps there is even a decapitation in there somewhere along the line each month.
I am not disagreeing with your frustration - but what do you suggest?
