Yes. Quite succinct. Also reminiscent of 2-piece points days in an electronic ignition world.

Its amazing how they manage to keep doing it over and over....years after his presidency volumes will be written about Dubyas "Strategery" of laying low and letting the Rats go insanely over the top with Bush-Bashing, only to pull out the National Security Big Stick close to election time and beat them to death with it....this may be the most underreported story of the past 6 years in the MSM....

If the American people put the Dems back in control of the government, both in 06 and 08, radical Islam's aggressive suicide fanatics Ying, will be matched by passive America's suicide fanatics Yang. A match made in oblivion.

Kerry made it clear that he was of the opinion that America should accept a certain level of terror attacks and treat those attacks as a law enforcement matter.

We can see how X42 dealt with the US Embassy bombings and the bombing and near loss of the USS Cole.

WAKE UP, AMERICA

A great column, summarizing just how foolish and sophomoric the Democratic Party can look in such a sobering time.

Like clockwork, the moonbat conspiracy theorists are already questioning the timing of this "thwarted plot".

The problem is that by November this will be a faint memory for most of the electorate. The left will turn it around so that instead of an islamo-terrorist plot to kill thousands, it will somehow be W's fault.

the Democrats must have a plan of their own to defeat terror. Every Republican running for office at every level this fall should force his opponent to describe it.

Americans have short memories of thwarted attacks. It is taken for granted.

If ten airliners had gone down, on the other hand...


BUMP

Ketchup Boy, IMO, lost the election when he declared that he would subject American defense to a "Global Test". But this op-ed nails it. The RATS have sold out to the McGovernite, anti-war left at Kos and DUhmmieland. But what the Senate RATS did in selling Lieberman out is beyond criminal.

The kos kids, soros and moveon have taken over the fundraising and they now hold all the power.

Dean and the DNC are nothing more than an annoyance.

The dems are so afraid of their netniks that they prove to all they have NO courage at all.

If they can't stand up to kos how are they going to stand up to terrorists.

They're the NO CAN DO PARTY

The truth is that this most recent teror threat has placed a victory in Sen. Joe's lap now that he is running as an independent.

Reminds me of Algore's big global warming conference the day before one of the coldest blizzards on record hit a multi state area. That was as rich as this.....
