Its VERY clear that the president does not think the US has foreign enemies

Then explain this country's having troops in a war footing in two countries, and troops being deployed to other locations around the globe who are tasked with confronting those enemies that President Bush doesn't think we have? Your argument is specious at best. Then there's the fact that George W. Bush is not running for President in the 2008 election cycle. If there is some treaty which passes off our maritime rights to other countries, there will be another President in office in a little more than 15 months who would be capable of reversing that issue. But, no, Libs, Dems, and Run Paul Run have no message other than "We Hate Bush", and they have no plan for the future of this country except for "Let's Bash Bush". Great approach to dealing with problems.

You'd let a man commit treason against the country, against the hope that the next man up would reverse it? How do you reverse the damage that would do anyway? The damage "free trade" has done to our sovereignty, our freedom of the press, and our domestic economy cannot be undone in a generation.

There are thousands and thousand of laws in state and local lawbooks that codify anti-sovereignty UN treaties. How long will it take to get rid of them?

As for the war, what kind of commander in chief declares a a war as won, then installs a bunch of contractors in the country to execute the peace,and then finds that the war wasn't won after all? What kind of commander in chief executes a war with contractors? What kind of commander in chief executes a war he says will last 100 years and creates the office of 'war czar' to do it? Does it end in 100 years, when the contractors will have finally bled all the money out of our domestic economy?
