OK, try this one on for size:
While you keep hearing that the GOP holds the high cards on national security, and some airheads like O’Reilly keep saying the terrorists want Democrats elected…
I have to believe that Osama bin Laden would much prefer Bush to be President. Why? Because Bush’s policies serve to radicalize Muslims, and that helps recruit suicide bombers, etc.
You only have to look to Iraq to see how obvious this is.
It seems clear to me that John Kerry had it right: Fighting terrorism is not a military problem, but a law enforcement problem. Again, having 130,000 American troops in Iraq hasn’t done anything to reduce terrorism. Certainly not in Iraq.
