DISQUS

Maybe not terrorist attacks but another misguided war is a guarantee.

The only messed that got cleaned up was our surplus when Bush and the Republicans came in power. Come on, we're not stupid. We NOW know that Iraq a) was not responsible for 9-11 and b) had no weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). So, what mess was cleaned up really? Are we safer now? Have we caught Osama Bin Laden after 7 years of warring? What have the Bush administration done with an approval rating worse than ever? The guy didn't even attend his own party's convention this year supposedly to "manage" the crisis of hurricanes in southern U.S. Keep in mind Bush was cutting birthday cake with McCain when Katrina was leveling the South.

Finally, does anyone recall a document titled "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US?" The White House says the brief was not specific enough to warn of 9/11. Democrats say it should have prompted more vigorous action.

According to the Bush Administration, the brief "was no indication of a terrorist threat. There was not a time and place of an attack," Bush said at Fort Hood in Texas, where he prayed with troops on Easter Sunday. "It said Osama bin Laden had designs on America. Well, I knew that. What I wanted to know was, is there anything specifically going to take place in America that we needed to react to?"

With regards to McCain, he still don't get it that the War in Iraq was totally created by the Bush administration. It's the wrong war and surge or no surge, victory or not, we should not be there in the first place.

How could we go from a war in Afganistan, where Osama and his terrorist buddies are sheltered and have refuge along the borders of Afganistan and Pakistan, to a war in Iraq?
