Should Kerry win, I pray Bush leaves him the same parting gift as Clinton bestowed on Bush upon his departure. Al Qaeda, Iraq, and North Korea. It is only fitting, and the old saying, "what comes around goes around" springs to mind.<br>
Clinton and his Democratic administration failed us. Their approach was REACTIONARY and did nothing to prevent any of the attacks to our country. He treated the first terrorist attack on the WTC as if it was a simple law enforcement problem, devoid of any foreign implications. Al Qaeda didn't just spring to life upon Bush's election....this group was well-known to Clinton, yet he did NOTHING. It was during Clinton's 8 YEAR tenure in office that Al Qaeda's attacks began against our country. Plans were unearthed as to Al Qaeda's intent to destroy New York's tunnels and bridges and the UN building, and to destroy 11 passenger jetliners all while they succeeded in bombing American embassies in Africa TWICE, bombed US bases in Saudi Arabia, and atacked the USS Cole. The final culmination of the violence we were forced to experience (and probably not the last) was on September 11, 2001.<br>
Iraq's military infrastructure was largely destroyed after it's defeat in the Gulf War. While Clinton got his rocks off, SH methodically took the opportunity to rebuild his army, kick out the UN arms inspectors, all while getting the $ he needed to rearm with phantom oil for food programs.<br>
And now we come to North Korea......North Korea decides sometime in 1994 that it wants a piece of the action and is interested in developing nuclear weapons, but balks at allowing inspectors to monitor the manufacturing. Enter former President Jimmy Carter. He travels to North Korea to try and work out a deal. A compromise is reached, but in Clintons eagerness to declare a victory (over what who knows) he never monitors the situation and in 2002 we find out we are back to square one...only now North Korea proclaims to have nuclear weapons built and at the ready. To date they are assertive, agressive and IMO almost cocky about it.<br>
Does anyone else see the writing on the wall.....do you think we will be forced to deal with North Korea next? YES!<br>
Clinton left Bush to deal with bin Laden, Jong, and SH. It has been said what is seen as Clinton's failures were in fact deliberate acts.<br>
Let's leave the Republicans with this mess. They'll take the fall for it and all of the slack that comes with it. And so it has come to pass....<br><br>
Kerry's voting record on defense mirrors those of the liberal left mindset. He has voted for at least 7 major reductions that directly affect our ability to defend ourselves.<br>
Since 1972, Kerry has made it abundantly clear that the United States defense is not a priority to him and this mindset will lead us into another war. I am afraid that Kerry does not and will not have the balls to protect the United States people and our interests. He has see-sawed between publicly supporting and condeming the war in Iraq, depending on what the situation calls for.<br>
Kerry the Senator voted for the authorization to use military force, and now Kerry the candidate claims that wasn't really his intent. Say what?<br><br>
I have tried to imagine Kerry as President, and visions of pardons keep dancing in my head.
