The recently foiled terror plot hatched in England is a striking example of why we cannot afford to have the weak-kneed Democrats in charge of our security.
The tools used to discover this diabolical plot, including foreign money-tracking and monitoring citizens' phone conversations, have been vociferously opposed by the Democrats. Obtaining search warrants based on "reasonable suspicion," not probable cause, as were the warrants in England, would be a non-starter for Democrats. Had this plot been hatched here, thousands may have died while Democrats clamored for Bush's impeachment.
Thank God the British don't have a party like the Democrats during this most dangerous period. This is a clash of civilizations, long wanted by the radical Muslims. They can't escape their 10th century mentality. Yet, we have a political party that believes we are the problem, and that Bush, not the terrorists, is responsible for terrorism. They continue to wail about Iraq being a terrorist breeding ground. Was Iraq the reason for the 1993 World Trade Center attack? The Africa embassy bombings in 1998? The USS Cole attack in 2000?
If you Democats don't want to join the terror war, at least please stop trying to impede it.
