Under GWB's leadership, we've diminished Al Qaeda by 70%.
I guarantee you, that no democrat presidential candidate could have or would have accomplished that, and I DO NOT want any democrat to be given the opportunity to reverse that trend.
'According to experts', right? What did you think of Rumsfeld's memo where he talked about the lack of even a metric to even know how effective the war on terrorism is, to know whether their actions were creating more terrorists, or destroying them? One lackey peddles out a number pulled from his ass and you're going to tout that as evidence the WoT's progress?
Here's a newsflash: They're fighting us because we're there. It wasn't a coincidence that OBL declared war on the U.S. after 1991 when we left military bases in Saudi. They see this as merely another step in hundreds of years of war to expel 'Western Crusaders'. They'll keep fighting us as long as we're there.
