wrote: And let's not forget, the promises of 9/12 by the Democrats to support the President and the troops took a back seat to regaining power. Five years of Democrat politics lost the war and won the Democrats back, marginally, the power in Congress. I don't know how you can blame the Democrats since all three branches of govt were dominated by Republicans. The Republicans had their turn, made a mess of it, and now the Democrats are at the plate. They won't do any better, but in any case this kind of partisan political debate isn't useful. People seem more interested in defeating the other party (whichever that may be) than defeating the forces that are against the US. Will the people realize this when the attacks begin here in a few weeks or will they blame Bush because he is the President? Sounds pretty paranoid. There aren't going to be any attacks in a few weeks. BTW, the President has been pretty much a powerless office since the Budget Acts in 1970-72. The President can fight a war for only a few days and then must seek Congressional support. Nothing wrong with that. Marc |
