sorry but have to disagree.Republicans are clearly neglecting the real war on terror but the example you give is a sign what happens when economy is the only or most important value.Jungle Capitalism showing its ugly head.Usually only the people in the developing world get to see it that up close and personal.We in the West are usually kept asleep with cheap products and mind killing entertainment.

However you are right Republicans and the Bush administration in particular have mismanaged the war on terror.

It's like this.Neocons get into the white house with an agenda to attack Iraq
http://zfacts.com/p/775.html
The threat of Alquaida and OBL is ignored until he attacks on 9/11.After that the Neocons did everything in their power to convince Bush to attack Iraq even before Afghanistan
By the afternoon on Wednesday [after Sept. 11], Secretary Rumsfeld was talking about broadening the objectives of our response and "getting Iraq." Secretary Powell pushed back, urging a focus on al Qaeda. Relieved to have some support, I thanked Colin Powell. "I thought I was missing something here," I vented. "Having been attacked by al Qaeda, for us now to go bombing Iraq in response would be like our invading Mexico after the Japanese attacked us at Pearl Harbor."
Powell shook his head. "It's not over yet." Indeed, it was not. Later in the day, Secy. Rumsfeld complained that there were no decent targets for bombing in Afghanistan and that we should consider bombing Iraq, which, he said, had better targets. At first I thought Rumsfeld was joking. But he was serious and the President did not reject out of hand the idea of attacking Iraq. Instead, he noted that what we needed to do with Iraq was to change the government, not just hit it with more cruise missiles, as Rumsfeld had implied.

Bush attacked Afghanistan anyway,he couldn't really do anything else with the eyes of the world on him but forces inside the administration were and are still focused on their PNAC agenda and in that agenda OBL isn't important.It's about states,think Iran.It also benefits them having him out there to keep people afraid and more willing to go along with war retoric

The CIA field commander for the agency's Jawbreaker team at Tora Bora, Gary Berntsen, says he and other U.S. commanders did know that bin Laden was among the hundreds of fleeing Qaeda and Taliban members. Berntsen says he had definitive intelligence that bin Laden was holed up at Tora Bora—intelligence operatives had tracked him—and could have been caught...
In his book—titled "Jawbreaker"—the decorated career CIA officer criticizes Donald Rumsfeld's Defense Department for not providing enough support to the CIA and the Pentagon's own Special Forces teams in the final hours of Tora Bora, says Berntsen's lawyer, Roy Krieger. (Berntsen would not divulge the book's specifics, saying he's awaiting CIA clearance.) That backs up other recent accounts, including that of military author Sean Naylor, who calls Tora Bora a "strategic disaster" because the Pentagon refused to deploy a cordon of conventional forces to cut off escaping Qaeda and Taliban members. Maj. Todd Vician, a Defense Department spokesman, says the problem at Tora Bora "was not necessarily just the number of troops."

i think of the frightening ingredient is the fact that all and sundry seems to be taking it! If a Democrat spokesperson for Obama made a remark like that, the finished Yahoo!solutions government & Politics web site may well be flooded with perfect wing conservatives pointing palms and calling Obama an anti-American, and a few worse issues. yet because of the fact it replaced right into a republican, it would be suitable because of the fact the guy replaced right into a real American, and as nicely, what McCain's spokespeople say would not mirror McCain's genuine ideals. So, as a result they shrug it off as no longer something! it is merely terrible how ignorant this u . s . a . has gotten over the previous couple of years. to procure to realize guy, there is not any reasoning with those perfect-wing nuts. there's some stable conservatives accessible, I rather have friends who're conservatives, yet a minimum of they spot a terrible remark like Black's while they pay attention it. regrettably, the final public of the excellent is in comparison to that. they're basically a collection of rascist, annoying, unpatriotic backstabbers. this is why i'm vote casting for Obama! Peace!

because there is no evidence lead paint was used with intent to harm American children.
The lead paint was probably used because it is cheaper and provides better coverage then other types of paint. Risking lives to save money is not terrorism it is just negligence.
