“Imagine, say, President Kerry letting terrorists run free as he listened — hand on chin, brows furrowed”

Ha!

Yeah right... with Sandy Berger, Joe Wilson & Jim Hoagland whispering in his ear. Thank God it didn't happen.

Even worse, imagine if "The Tree" had been sitting in the Oval Office on 9-11-2001. The one eyed Mullah would still be running Afghanistan, women would still be being shot in the soccer stadium. Saddam and his sons would still be in charge at Abu Ghrab Prison, and rather than being humiliated, many would be subjected to real torture, rather than humiliation and panties on their heads.

Terrorists would still be training in camps in both countries, as well in Iran. They'd be sending even more here, and the Gorelick Wall would still be in place, so we'd not be catching many of them.

Many Americans now living would likely be dead. Many Malls, office buildings, hospitals and sports stadiums would be piles of rubble or burnt out shells.

Makes me feel even better about the "Get out of Cheney's House" chants of the winter of 2000-2001.
