John McCain would be great in fighting the WOT if only he was willing to secure the borders as Senator. So far he is not.
Anybody who wants to bring terrorists from Gitmo to our courts here in US cannot be serious about treating this as a real war.
That ship has sailed. We had our chance in Romney. But as of today the next president, whoever it is, will close Gitmo. I don't like that either, but that is reality.
It's also reality though that the nominee on the other side will bring our troops home, to the detriment of US security, and all the troops who have given their lives and limbs will have done so in vain. It's also true that the D nominee has pledged to do absolutely zippo about the border issue. At least McCain is saying he will work to prevent new illegals.
I think Romney had it right yesterday, there is too much at stake to allow either Clinton or Obama to have the keys to the WH. I wish Romney would have given more speeches like he did yesterday before yesterday. Maybe he'd be the nominee. But he's not, and when you are given lemons, you just have to make lemonade. I have more in common with McCain than either of the D candidates. That settles it for me. It's not satisfying but it is realistic.
