An excerpt from the 2000 documents states - "Al Gore and the Democratic Party know that we must be able to meet any military challenge from a position of dominance.....During the past century, we have learned that if we wish to avoid war, we must be strong enough to deter aggression,....Forward Engagement means addressing problems early in their development before they become crises, addressing them as close to the source of the problem as possible, and having the forces and resources to deal with these threats as soon after their emergence as possible."

They even went so far as to accuse...." Some Republicans believe America should turn away from the world. They oppose using our armed forces as part of international solutions, even when regional conflicts threaten our interests and our values."

First they make the case to invade Iraq, or any other country threatening the US......and then state the Republicans are against it. Now that Bush carried out what was one of the fundamental tenents of their platform, they attack him for doing the wrong thing. Can you say hubris boys and girls......sure, I knew you could.

The only platform they had before the convention was "HATE BUSH TO WIN". Now its a complete FLIP-FLOP once they saw the HATE was failing the poll test.

The short version is here:

1... Bush is wrong.
2... We're not Bush.

Did I miss anything?
