Through this Republican administration and for the majority of the time we as a country were governed by a Republican congress, what has transpired is that we have become more isolated as a nation. Isolation too can be dangerous and this is where real change must come. We have also seen through a Republican administration the outing of a CIA operative in Valerie Plame. It was a revenge outing since her husband Joe Wilson stated there was no Iraq/Niger connection when Bush cited that Iraq was trying to purchase ‘yellow-cake’ from Niger. In many convention speeches at the Republican convention and in interviews some like Rudy Giuliani did mention radical Islamic Jihadists to frighten us. But, here is the kicker, through this war in Iraq and as I have stated previously what has transpired is over four million Iraqis being displaced, and where one million have been killed. My guess is that both Bush and the Republicans handed Al Qaeda new recruits. What is disturbing is this video showing Iraqi children as young as ten-years-old being trained as terrorists by Al Qaeda. According to the reporter these are the new generation that will come after us in the future. This is how the Republican Party under George W. Bush has failed us all.
I think that a fresh set namely, Senator Obama who does have twelve years in total serving the American people to see what needs to be done in order to keep us secure. Oh and if we are going to focus in on the bottom ticket, this is where America needs Joe Biden instead of Palin. Cindy McCain, called Sarah Palin a “hockey-mommin' ... basketball shootin' ... moose huntin' ... fly-fishin' ... pistol-packing ... mother of five for vice president.” Bin Laden where ever he is must be shaking in his shoes by now.
