Sck5, Those protests are the biggest reason I count the Dems out when it comes to terrorism. They surveyed some of the local protesters in Orlando at the time. The responces were along the lines of "We shouldn't make war on Iran." and "We're already losing in Afganistan". When you add that the Iraq war hadn't even started and they were protesting and claiming we would lose, the democrats surrendered any athority to make statements on the war.

I was against going in, but didn't protest for alot of reasons. My objections are mostly philosophical, but since then, there has been a steady stream of crap and fiction spouted as facts by the dems. Not the least was the way they treated general Petraeus in front of congress.

The fact that a bunch of old hippies and wanna-be hippies headed for the streets to protest a war that hadn't even been declared is not helping your cause. They didn't wait till the decision by congress. A whole slew starteed on sept 12th and more and more joined in as time went by. More then a few of the current protesters are not only insulting to the troops but are an embarresment to they're own children's voluntary sacrifice.

These are alot of the same people who protested the original gulf war, the one that we fought to liberate an ally who had been invaded. They're pretty much against even the hint of us using the military for anything other then putting poor people through college or allowing blacks a place they can get ahead.

Outside of liberal circles, no one thinks the dems are even the least bit aware of what the army can and can not do. Nor would the democrats ever consede the reteric even if Al-quada amitted defeat and surrendered.
