Republicans are running ads in Iowa criticizing Democrats for not supporting the “war on terror.”
“Some are now attacking the President for attacking the terrorists," the type says. "Some call for us to retreat, putting our national security in the hands of others."
And how are Bush and company doing in the “war against terror?” From the news this morning:
U.S. Warns of Possible Al Qaeda Plot on U.S. Interests
Suicide Bombs in Iraq Kill 18, Plane Reported Hit
Army Is Planning for 100,000 G.I.'s in Iraq Till 2006
U.S. Military Returns to War Tactics
Attacking the President’s policy failures is not the same thing as supporting terrorism. George W. Bush and the Republican Party are doing a great job this week of returning to their political roots – Richard Nixon and Joe McCarthy.
