Nick I know you like Powell so thought I give you his views

--and in reply to your question
"I find it funny that people act like Bush is responsible for anything positive when it comes to securing our nation. Ask yourselves if you feel more safe now than you did four years ago before he took office. Unless you are lying to yourself, you don't."
Instead of speaking in unspecific liberal tounge
Let me be specific.
I must assume only fools would think
We are not safer without the terrorist openly training in Afgan with The Taliban.
We are not safter with over 300 of these major terrorists behind bars.
We are not safer with the Saudi's,Turkey,Pakistan among numerous others now aiding in war on terror.
We are not safer with the remaining terrorist on constant run and in hiding rather than be able to move about freely.
You evidently do not think home security has been increased one iota.
You don't think Lybia's opening up will reduce arms sales from them to terrorist.
You don't think Pakistan having internal investigation to see who leaked nuclear data to Iran-N Korea and others has any implications.
I could go one but running out of space on "the now"
--but let me touch on the prior
Again we must be foolish to think past admistration by not taking Bin Laden when offered could have saved those on 911
We would be wise to think throwing a few missles in Afgan would be enough to curtail terrorist training there.
We would be foolish to think sending billions in aid to N Korea on a promise they would stop building nukes would actually work.
We would be a fool to think we sent message to terrorist we were weak when they drug our soilders through the streets of Somolia,set them on fire and pulled out and ran like rabbits
and I could go on here also
Since you like to read--spend a little time reading some news from papers who are supporting the terrorist--you find out how much safer they feel--and you find out who they are pulling for in the elections.
and as far as feeling safe--personally I felt safe before and now.
As I stated at very start of war when all the protesting was done by the liberals on racial profiling of muslim citizens --when the shit hits the fan its going to be in liberal strongholds such as N.Y. DC and California where they can move about freely. Go on with the Politically Correct BS because that makes you the easiest target--and does in fact make me feel safer that I am miles away from any of those areas.
