"What is THEIR plan?"
That's what the dims are asking the CIC. To ask the questioners what their plan is - is realy irrelavant since they are not the ones who got us into the position in the first place. Asking for answers is to be expected - especially when you are looking to spend huge sums of money & put our troops in harms way.
Any good commander would welcome the questions & have answers ready. Don't you want to know the answers as well?

Oh c'mon. If Clinton - their political God - had done his job, we wouldn't be dealing with all these landmines today. I'd ike to know why Clinton sold missile technology to China, (and why they did nothing) who sold to N. Korea, who sold to Iran.
Why did Clinton overlook all the attacks on Americans since he entered the Whitehouse (and why did the Democrats not do anything?)? Why did he keep letting Bin Ladin go (and why did the Democrats do nothing?)?
I'd like answers , too. How much money is an American life worth, anyway? Democrats got us well over 3,000 deaths here in America alone, not counting all those who died in previous attacks. How much did the Democrats cost us?
I'd say this issue is null compared to the price we've paid because of Democrat self worship and ignorance.

A point that is not even close to being germane to the topic. The questions is: we are at Point A today - what are we going to do to gaet to where we want to be? To bring up "facts" from years ago does nothing to answer the question. To keep trying to blame a former POTUS for actions taken by the current POTUS is at best childish & way off point. Should GWB ask WJC what to do now - I don't think so. We have to stay on point & get over the 90's.
GWB was elected - he has to answer the questions not WJC or GHWB.

The point is - we wouldn't be fighting terrorism today like we are had Clinton done his job. Instead, he spent more on Democrat vote buying than securing the naton against terrorism.
I think the Democrats have a lot of nerve asking Bush about the cost of a war that's here because of them. Now, it's gong to cost whatever - because someone has to clean up the mess Clinton left us in.
If they don't like where we are today, they should ask themselves how we got here in the first place.
NOT bring up Clinton on this issue is over looking the facts. If anything, the cost of the war should be charged to the DNC because of their neglect.

I don't recall the dims forcing GWB to invade Iraq. Trying to blame everything on the dims is not a winning strategy - it takes away from the real point. What is the CIC going to do today & tomorrow?
Get over WJC - he's not been in office for over 2 years. Either GWB is our POTUS, or he isn't. We look to our current leaders for answers, not former ones.

No, we could have surrendered to terrorism like they did. To me, that's not a wise choice.
