Well .. Remember when a man by the name of David Kay came to give a briefing at Congress recently .. it seems he's the former UN weapons inspector - and he has been cataloging all the WMD stuff. Suddenly, after he made his presentation at Congress, all the dems shut up! I thought it was very telling. No more talk about NO WMD's - which only means to me that Congress was givin sufficent information to shut them up.

I'm more interested in killing them there, than in trying to stop them at our borders.

The war they want us to fight is the one were we fight them at our borders, not armies, but individuals, because it makes them our equals in strength by neutralizing our financial and military strength.

Everyone is a suspect…and you can’t possibly stop everyone from coming here.

So it would seem to me that going there, on their soil, to do whatever has to be done to make damned sure that we hunt "them down", and "destroy them" is a far, far better idea than doing it here on ours. We defeated Islam's strongest Army, and are currently using the country to stage enough troops to overthrow a few more tin-pot, terrorist-sponsoring, Muslim warlords.

I think we should send the world a clear signal, and let them know that the friend of my enemy is my enemy.

What's more acceptable to you?

A: The cost of one or two more 9/11 scale attacks, and a few homicide bombers a year, PLUS whatever the cost of any and all skirmishes that will go down between genuine terrorists, our Armed Forces, and local civilians in populated areas along the border and beyond, or

B: Going there and disrupting THEIR lives until they stop?

I loved this statement - I wrote it down:

"Attacks are invited by the perception of weakness."

Guess that was a slap in the face of the Clintons.

Fineman says Dean will challenge the speech, the demo candidates will redouble their assault on President Bush.

And as a result, in 2004 they will get the humiliation of a 535-3 electoral vote loss to GWB. (I'm presuming the RATS would win Washington, DC even if they ran David Duke.)

Re: #841 -- not a bit surprising, friend. That tactic will backfire, too.

We have learned terrorist attacks are not because of a show of strength, but *attacks are invited by* a perception of weakness

Great statement!!!
