He [Dean] said we should be concentrating all of our energies -- "full scale" -- on capturing or killing Osama bin Laden; "Then," Dean continued, "we need to fight the terrorists who blew up the World Trade Center."

Here is the fatal flaw in the dems thinking (if thinking is what you can call this). Imagine if we concentrated "all of our energies" on just this one thing...capturing bin Ladin. Think about the monumental stupidity of that statement.

But the really critical fallacy that he, and all of the rest of the dems fall into, is that, in their view, we are only allowed to go after a group that successfully pulls off a huge attack right here in this country. It's hands off all the rest, no matter what we know or suspect they are planning and plotting. It's their equivalent of the "global test".

That's why we hear the constant drumbeat that Iraq was not tied to 9/11 and wasn't even helping al Qaeda (which is false). That point is apropos of nothing. It's irrelevant, unless they actually mean that we cannot react against any group or nation unless and until we take a hit right here, and then only actions against that PARTICULAR group or that PARTICULAR nation will be allowed. The dems would fight a very limited war on terror indeed.

And, while I'm on my soapbox here, I never want to hear that stupid question "Are we safe" ever again. We are not a nation of kindergarten children. I want the President and the government to DEFEND this country, not wrap it in cotton. Go out there and smash the bad guys until they are dead or cry uncle. If there is peril in that, I am more than willing to accept it. God bless our military and the President of the United States of America.
