"Democrats say they will double the number of special forces and add more spies, which they suggest will increase the chances of finding al-Qaida's elusive leader.

This is frightening. If they get MORE votes, instead of less, because they say something this STUPID, this country is in deep trouble.

[Dog Gone]

More spies. That's the ticket!

Since it took the Rat party almost 5 years to concede that 9/11 altered the landscape, how much longer will it take them to actually do something about it? I surely ain't going to hold my breath waiting for something concrete. I just hope there plans don't mean we have to borrow French surrender flags.

Bull....Clinton had his chance BEFORE 911. Kiss my @$$.

This will not end if/when bin Laden is captured/killed. There are future leaders of extremist Islamic factions that will fill that void.

Thinking that jihad will end once bin Laden is captured/killed is an utterly foolish and potentially very dangerous mistake.

Democrats would rather risk "losing" Iraq to civil war, terrorist zones or both for political expediency. Of course they have not believed in doing what is necessary for some time. They may actually believe the crap in the NYTimes.

It's too bad President Bush already announced Andy Card's resignation. If only he held it for another day he could have stepped all over their story.

[sgtbono2002]

If this had any chance of working president Bush would have aleady done it.

They really do take the American public for fools, and what is frightnening is that the Dem half are.

I hate to say it but they will gain traction with this. Even conservatives such as myself have grown weary of the elusive OBL and his crazy cronies on the most wanted list.
It doesn't sway me in the least but it does piss me off to think this lanky bastard is still roaming the Pakistani mountainside.

Lord help us all. They wanna turn Iraq over to Terrorists.

No, they want to turn Chicago over to the terrorists.

[Laverne]

Its sounds like they have finally joined up with the WOT -- our troops have been hunting OBL since day one. Finally the dems are going to support the mission! About damn time.

Whoa, Osama must be petrified with fear about what those Democrats might do, eh?

Nope.

Osama openly supported Democrat John Kerry when in early November, 2004 when he said (in a long and rambling statement) Your security is in your own hands. And every state that doesn't play with our security has automatically guaranteed its own security.

Translation: "red" states better watch out.

So, if Osama himself supports the Dems, why would we believe they would be more effective at capturing him?

Democrats say they will double the number of special forces and add more spies, which they suggest will increase the chances of finding al-Qaida's elusive leader. They do not set a deadline for when all of the 132,000 American troops now in Iraq should be withdrawn.

I'm not a military strategist, but this doesn't sound like any kind of "plan" to improve our national security. Well, at least they admit we have enemies. That's a start.

[ChicagoConservative27]

I don't understand what the Dems think they will gain if we withdraw out of Iraq too soon? They truly wanna see the Iraq people go back to suffering like they did before? I don't see the American people buying it. I feel most Americans wanna see us finish our mission and give the Iraq people a stable Government and a country they can call their own.

This change is step 3 of 4 parts of the overall rat strategy for the last 1.5 years. The war is going well and they know that Bush will get all the congrats when the war is over in a couple years.


1) First fabricate stories of how *Everything* is going badly in Iraq.

2) Pin all the blame Bush for how things are going in Iraq and blame his incompetance.

3) Come out with a pledge to fix all of Bush's mistakes.

4) Take credit where none is due.


It would be like taking the torch from the leader while he's out of sight behind some trees during the last 1/2 mile of a Marathon and claiming the victory for the full race.
