terrorism or would you blame it on the newly created safe haven for terrorists that we have created in Iraq? Although Sadaam is definetly not a sweetheart, he ran a secular government and did not tolerate or like religous extremism (he was strongly opposed to strict Islamic Sharia law, which is what Osama wants--they were polar opposites). Now we have a vacuum of power in Iraq which is being filled with radical Islam. Isn't that what we were trying to squelch in the first place? We didn't "stay the course" at all when attacking Iraq. Do you think we have destabalized the Middle East even more by our actions? And, um...what should we do about it?

I totally agree-completely de-stabilized the area-created chaos with no solution. I love it that the adminstration created this mess and now the Republicans scream the Dems have no "good" plan, That's because there isn't one!!!! Although Joe Biden's is probably the best solution.
First, the plan calls for maintaining a unified Iraq by decentralizing it and giving Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis their own regions. The central government would be left in charge of common interests, such as border security and the distribution of oil revenue.
Second, it would bind the Sunnis to the deal by guaranteeing them a proportionate share of oil revenue. Each group would have an incentive to maximize oil production, making oil the glue that binds the country together.
Third, the plan would create a massive jobs program while increasing reconstruction aid -- especially from the oil-rich Gulf states -- but tying it to the protection of minority rights.
Fourth, it would convene an international conference that would produce a regional nonaggression pact and create a Contact Group to enforce regional commitments.
Fifth, it would begin the phased redeployment of U.S. forces this year and withdraw most of them by the end of 2007, while maintaining a small follow-on force to keep the neighbors honest and to strike any concentration of terrorists.
We're spending $7 billion a MONTH on this war-yet people are convinced that their problems are due to illegal immigration and welfare recipients.

"on the ft Hood attack, libs & Obama nevertheless make excuses for this one by using asserting he wasn't a terrorists, merely mentally unwell. wager they do no longer think of the mentally unwell could ever be in charge for their movements." You needless to say don't understand what a terrorist is. A terrorist blows factor as much as reason 2 issues: worry and panic. The ft. Hood shooter merely shot the region up because of the fact he became loopy. He wasn't attempting to reason worry and panic. And while did Obama say the mentially unwell shouldn't pay for their movements? "I easily have studied the mentally unwell and nevertheless artwork with them. This guy, no rely what continues to be a terrorists." you're calling him a terrorist without information. "Then with the underclothes bomber, merely because of the fact he became no longer efficient, libs continuously element out "0 died on the grounds that Obama grew to enhance into president". So, while the subsequent attack occurs(God Forbid) and human beings die, what excuse will the libs use then?" So, became 9/11 Bush's fault then? on the grounds that he became president?

Just because the "Dems" have a majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate does not mean that they are dictating policy. You give them too much credit; the Executive Branch is still the most powerful; and there are many democrats and Republicans in Congress that are moderate, and share similar agendas.
As for your other issues, You appear to question whether the US should have toppled the Hussein and Bathe Party administration at all. I am with you, on that. The Iraqi people appear to worse off now, than they were five years ago.
However, there is no use crying over spilled milk.
The Bush Administration needs to conceed that the U.S. must have a viable withdrawal plan, and execute it with all deliberate speed.

Well, first try asking questions one at a time - I don't even know what to answer here. Yes we destabilized the middle east by our actions, I think that was the whole point - divide and conquer. We want the oil, problem is we overestimated our ability to control the chaos we created. Can't put the toothpaste back into the tube now...

First of all there is no such thing as radical Islam. People can't categorize a group of people and the Muslims were not responsible for all the terrorism bullshit that has been going on in the world. People just need a group of people to blame for all this crap. Another thing is that the United States, specifically speaking “the genius President” shouldn’t have invaded Iraq. First of all they had no right, there were no weapons of mass destruction, and they endangered the lives of so many Americans. So many people in Congress, the Democratic Party, and the United Nations opposed going into Iraq. Now that they have and they’ve been there for such a long time they make it worse everyday. They got themselves into it and any result that they get from Iraq be it extremism be it democracy is their fault and their responsibility.

How does the fact that terrorists are flocking to Iraq(and incidently not attacking anywhere save a few 3rd world countires anymore) show that Radical Islam is obtaining power. As far as I can tell there is still an elected Government in place and they need to have the guts to represent their people instead of quietly urging them to fight in an attemot to improve their place of power.

They fault of the next terrorist attack belongs squarely on the Muslim terrorists.
The DNC vs GOP junk does nothing to slove the problem.

With us continuing to be inolved in Iraq and creating more enemies, I'd be frankly surprised if there won't be another 'terrorist' attack in America! I'd prefer to blame those who continue insisting that we stay in Iraq instead of leaving its Middle-Eastern neighbors to clean out the mess that Bush and his Team of Nutheads created.

i hate to say it bu the real culprits are going to be Russia, china, north Korea,Iran, France and Germany. the continued support of anti American countries and supporting of terrorist states as well as there supplying countries like Iran with jets and missile defense systems. We need to stop with the political correctness and fight Islam to win. point a nuke at the golden dome and let then know the next terrorist act done in the name of Islam will result in the only thing the treasure being destroyed.
oh yeah and we need to develop bombs that explode and cover everything with pigs fat
