Do Democrats have the 'Will' to fight terrorism?

Question

I mean.... let's be honest with ourselves. Do you really think the Democratic Party has the slightest clue to fight Islamic Radicals?

Let me hear you defend the Democratic party...come on.
I need a good laugh.

Answer 1

According to them, the war on terror is just a bumper sticker slogan, (kind of like "I Support our Troops").
More important to them is to protect the rights of enemy combatants, respect the privacy of their communications to known terrorist phone #s over seas, pull our millitary out of Iraq even though AlQaida has a major presence there, and blame every future terrorist attack on Bush's actions which made the peaceful Muslims become angry with us.

Answer 2

How about you go over to Iraq and fight in their civil war and for a President that doesn't follow Constitutional laws that were set in place for the people and by the people. We are looking for justice. You and the others like you want a fight. Read up more on the facts and the news for awhile before you actually criticize. If we lose any one of our Constitutional freedoms because of the Bush administration abusing them and we already have lost a little of those rights, then we might as well just say the terrorist won, because our rights would soon be gone in the name of safety. Then the terrorist might as well come back in here and blow us to h$@#.

Answer 3

You don't need a good laugh, just a good dose of reality. The Democratic candidate I support understands terrorism very well. They intend to force the Iraqis to handle their own political problems so we can stop policing a civil war and get back to what George Bush basically abandoned - really addressing terrorism. While we linger in Baghdad dealing with their chaos, Al Queda is setting up camp all over the Middle East, unencumbered for the most part. Since we invaded Iraq Al Queda has increased three-fold. Most of the troops will be brought home and residual troops will remain to specifically deal with Al Queda in Anbar Province and anywhere else they're setting up shop. Those residual troops are also going to remain to help the Iraqi military keep training, and stay, not permanently, to protect our interests - mainly so Iran doesn't take over. Also, we'll be attending more to guarding the borders and joining NATO in Afghanistan to help get the Taliban under control.

In other words, Democrats not only understand the threat of terrorism, they would like to stop screwing around and actually begin trying to do something about it throughout Iraq and the surrounding areas. Something George Bush should have finished when he attacked Afghanistan - the one right thing the man did. For all the mudslinging you cons do toward the Democrats about not being able to deal with terrorism, you guys sure don't have much of a leg to stand on yourselves. What has Bush done? Created a situation that has hugely increased our enemies and stretched our troops so thin in Baghdad that we can't even root them out and fight them properly. So I wouldn't be so high and mighty about the Republicans being tougher on terrorism. The facts say something entirely different. They talk tough, but talk is cheap, and apparently they can't walk the walk because in case you haven't noticed it's more like a Mad Max movie over there every day.

Answer 4

No! They will do as they have done with illegal immigration. Sellout, raise the white flag over the White House. While our nation burns. There is no real defence for in-action. Of course they will spout their one liners. As they are doing now! But in the end will do absolutely nothing. If not make the situation far worse. They will not even stand up for what they believe now. If you give them a few earmarks(money) in a bill they will let you continue what they call an unjust war. Yea, that's integrity! Proving they have a price on their convictions. As they always have. They do not even have the will to support or take action for something they believe in. Will sell out their own populous for a few extra votes(legalising illegal immigration). Believe they know what best for Americans! Instead of the citizens of America(Socialist Policy). So I would say no. As the whole of the Democratic party is concerned. Although there are individuals with in the party that could. The Democratic party has either silenced them or ousted them(Lieberman).
Peace!!! Love!!! Health!!! Harmony!!!

Answer 5

Because we don't approve of this war, somehow Dems don't have the "will" to fight terrorism?!

In plain English: terrorism operates outside of the Iraqi borders. Sooner you realize this, the sooner we won't have to keep explaining this concept.

When you commit all your resources into one region, not only are you neglecting the global terrorist threat, but you leave room for countries like Iran and N. Korea to develop nuclear weapons.

Almost daily some con shows us all the Dems who voted to go to war. If they didn't have the "will" to fight terrorism, then how to you explain all the votes from Dems in regard to the war?

If you need a good laugh, I can email you some pretty good jokes. =)

Answer 6

I am sure the Terrorist would like to see Bush out of office, this way, they have a better chance of carrying out their plans, to attack us. And who better in office for terrorist to pull it off, Dems/Libs.

For several years the left have been crying about the war and claiming that we are causing more terror recruitment by our presence in Iraq. If we would only leave, they say, then those nice, misunderstood terrorists would leave us alone. How did the terrorists reward Spain for their position of retreat? They bombed a train station killing a lot of people. Surely if Bush and Blair would just get out of Iraq and if both of them were gone we would see the Religion of Pieces calm down and live like good, decent beings.

Gordon Brown took over for Tony Blair this week as the PM of the UK so that was one thing the terrorists wanted, Blair gone (as did many of his countrymen). The new PM has stated that he will be taking a look at the UK’s position on Iraq and might start removing troops. Did the terrorists allow him the time to think about it? Did they reward him for his idea of possibly leaving Iraq? Why no, they attacked his country again.

Two car bombs were discovered before they could cause problems and kill people but a third vehicle was driven into the airport terminal in Glasgow Scotland where it was on fire causing damage and increasing fear. It would appear as if the car bomb brigade has made its way to the UK and are going to be targeting innocent civilians.

These are the kind of people we are dealing with. They have no regard for human life and are more than willing to die for their cause, which I say we should help them with. They treat positions of weakness with attacks in an effort to make people submit to their twisted form of religion that follows the rantings of a mental child molester prophet named Mohammad.

The authorities have rounded up some people they believe were involved. If they are found guilty they should be force fed pork and executed.

Answer 7

Before we fight terrorism we will first have to form a focus group and there is only one way to pay for that as we all know.
It will first require another focus group to determine on how to pay for the focus group in order to form the terrorism focus group.
As in the past history we must create a new tax to pay for these two very important groups and as we all know terrorism is a very important issue for the children of our nation.
A third focus group has already determined the campaign issue that will bring support to this important issue and the campaign should be called:
.
The Support Children Terrorism Fee (TSCTF)

Funding will be raised on all clothing sold in the U.S. via a new fiber fee and as we all know only the rich Republicans can afford to wear new clothing so this fee will not affect the poor of this country.

Now that this new fee is in place........ what was the question again?

Answer 8

Allright, I'll give it a shot. I would start by NOT starting a war in a third party arbitrary country. I would have finished the job in Afghanistan. I would increase funding for our police force and intelligence agencies as well as covert operations groups. No terrorist plot has been foiled by our occupation of Iraq, all terrosit plots have been stopped by police investigations, police tips , informants. And that is the key, understanding how your enemy operates and counter acting it. They exist in the shadows we must get into the shadows with them. getting mired down in a country that had nothing to do with the attack agaisnt us, played right into Al-Qaed's hand. One of their stated goals was to topple Secular States in the region, like Saddam's Iraq, so we did exactly what they wanted us to do, remove a dividng faction in the region and unite it under one ideolgy.

“If you know yourself and you know your enemy, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know only yourself but not your enemy, for every victory you will suffer a defeat. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will succumb in every battle.”

“You should never go to sleep in the evening with more enemies than you had in the morning.”

Sun Tzu, in the “Art of War,”

For far too long, the policy of the United States in the Middle East has been to do just that.

Answer 9

lol I love how you just broadly generalize "the enemy". So it's Islamic Radicals that we are fighting? How come we invaded the secular nation of Iraq then? Why are we BFF with the Saudi royal family who rule an islamist state? Be honest with yourself. The Bush administration doesn't give a damn about fighting Islamic Radicals, they only care about destroying people who would stand in the way of our economic self interests.

Answer 10

The sad thing is when looking at todays democrats and liberals is to put them in charge after Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1940. Think about that:

They don't want to support Israel the Jewish people.
They want to censor speech that opposes their view point with the fairness doctrine.
They want to cut and run because too many people are getting hurt.
They'd even go so far as to disarm America just in time for an invading party to take over.
