You say it but I see no proof of it. As a matter of fact, I've watched for years as the enemy has grown stronger as our resolve appeared weak as heck. I knew, as well as many did, that we were going to be attacked and hit hard. While the previous administration did nothing but launch million dollar a shot missiles to divert news coverage away from its own troubles, the enemy saw it for what it for what it was. Did you guys who are so smart notice beforehand that the Arab respects power and has nothing but contempt for weakness? Did you just realize after 9/11 that there is a thing caslled the Middle East, knowing nothing but from what you heard from Rather, Browkaw and Jennings that the Jew is bad and the "Palestinian" is a poor, downtrodden saint? Didn't you know that Syria and Iran are huge terrorist states? That Iraq wasn't the worst of them, only that it hated us the most and had the NBC weapons to pass to the terrorists and funds with which to support them?
Sit around and make baseless conjecture while dismissing the facts that you should have been watching for years. Yeah, that demonstrates real insight and depth. We're in a position that no matter which way we go we're going to find ourselves in a mess and all some can do is say that we are going to war for oil or world conquest or crap like that.
I can understand to some degree people from other countries not being sure of our intentions (although it should be plain from the last 100 years of history what kind of nation we are) but when people in this country haven't bothered to see who wants us destroyed and against who we are combating, it just befuddles me.
We have a leader that is doing the right thing. First time since Reagan (Yes, I intentionally omitted Bush '41) and you doubt him more than the enemy. A healthy distrust of the government is good, of course, but don't you think that maybe some backing of it is necessary?
