That is complete hyperbole BS (with all due respect) - The fact is GWB won reelection based on the GWOT (including Iraq) - The majority of the pubic fully stands behind the GWOT to this day (including Iraq) - Useless "polls" put out by the MSM don't mean a thing -
The reality is those leaders who have stoop up and taken the fight to our enemies have all won reelection (GWB, Blair, Howard in Australia, etc) - Those who choose to sit on the fence or to not fight at all have mostly lost (France, Germany, Canada to name a few).
But more importantly here in America there is no political "cost" to standing firm for America's national defense (even if that means war). No cost in the since that it will lead to a defeat at the polls. Just the opposite is true.
since = SENSE - (Long day)
