15. Gore Would Have Stayed the Course in the (REAL) War on Terror
Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 01:43 AM by MtMan
We need to let more of the American average Joe's understand the distinction between the REAL war on terror and the faux war on terror (Iraq War = Bush family's personal war against Saddam cum quagmire = fighting "them" "over there" faux war on terror.)

Let's make it known that Gore would have "stayed the course" in the real war on terror - he would not have cut and run from pursuing Al Queda to the ends of the Afghanistan mountains and into Pakistan, to wage his pet peeve war against Saddam. Note that the terrorists involved in today's plot were from Pakistan.

"We are safer now than @ 9/11" Bush says today. Of course. But we'd be safer yet, much safer, with Gore at the helm.

Take a look at the nytimes.com front page story about the mismanaged (diverted and way under funded) funds going toward explosive detection systems @ homeland security department.

Imagine how much safer we'd be if we spent the money that was wasted on the Iraq Quagmire on the War on Terrorism instead.

This is the message we need to convey. Bush did not stay the course on the war on terrorism. He stayed the course on his own, personal grudge against Saddam Hussein. He cut and ran from pursuing Al Queda into Pakistan, and today we see one very tangible result (Pakistani terrorists - 24 in Britain arrested and others in Pakistan arrested.)

P.S. - I am also wondering why the technology available at http://www.hienergyinc.com/press/press_releases/9-24-02.pdf for four years isn't in place by homeland security department by now? More mismanagement?
