There are no more good reasons to stay in Iraq. And there can be no more excuses.

Every day we remain there will result only in more death, more destruction, and less security.



And now the Iraqi president has invited us to leave.

It is time to surge the troops homeward.

Very Faulty Logic

Mary, what you are missing is the Director of Homeland Security stated in the same message was that Al Qaeda was not as strong as it was during the time of 9/11 but there is still a serious threat.

What the article you posted stated was that Al Qaeda is stronger than it was a year ago. 

So, we know that Al Qaeda is not as strong as it was in 2001, but stronger than it was in 2006......

Now, from that information, how do you come to a thesis of "A vote for Bush was a vote for the terrorists?"

The logic is not clear at all and the thesis appears to be extremely reckeless and extremely....well, extremist.

She gave you the homework.  You ignored it.

You obviously didn't bother to check out the link Ms. Shaw included for the Newsweek article.  Otherwise, you could have answered your own question.

Peace,

RAP
