Terrorist Motivated
Five years after 9/11, Bush claims: “we are safer and America is winning the war on terror”. By preemptively invading an oil rich Muslim country the Bush regime fueled the fires of hatred in the Muslim world. Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and the use of torture have hurt our moral authority throughout the world. Consequently, there are more terrorists in the world today, who want to kill Americans than at any time.
It took eight years for terrorist to prepare between the first bombing of the World Trade Center and the 9/11 attack. We should all be grateful that we haven't been hit again, because the next time could be much more devastating. Nobody in law enforcement will tell you that we are as safe as we ought to be. We are very fortunate that law enforcement officials and intelligence officials, cooperating with other countries, have succeeded in interrupting some terrorist cells.
It's incomprehensible how much money has been spent in Iraq as opposed to homeland security. The 9-11 Commission has given failing grades to this administration in almost every sector. Law enforcement can't even talk to each other across channels in certain cities. We remain unprepared with respect to chemical plants, nuclear plants, and our port facilities. We still can't screen the cargo that goes onto airplanes or container ships coming into our ports. We may be safer on a plane, but we’re not as safe as we ought to be 5 years after 9/11.
The effort to fight terrorists around the world is going to be primarily law enforcement and intelligence gathering because we’ve got to find out who they are and what they're planning in order to stop them.
In fact, homeland security has been neglected and our military is over stretched in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
Republicans will seek to cast an American withdrawal from Iraq as a defeat engineered by Democrats. Bush has created a situation, whereby America will eventual be defeat in Iraq. Iraq is a failed state and already a training ground for secular terrorist. Bush claims this war as "vital" to our national security, but fails to commit the troops and increase taxes to insure a military victory.
Bush and congressional Republicans can’t admit that victory in Iraq is unattainable without a draft and a drastic increase in taxes. If a Democratic successor withdraws from Iraq, that person will be blamed by Republicans for loosing the war.
