If you believe that we are at war with Islamic fascists, then I think it's very clear who you should vote for in the fall. Here's the vice president on behalf of Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska:
The Bush administration will "keep national security at the top of the agenda this election year,"” Vice President Dick Cheney told a Republican audience Tuesday.Here is Fortenberry's opponent:
Some Democratic leaders want to weaken the tools the administration uses to identify and track terrorists, Cheney said, while others would "give up the fight (and) retreat" from Iraq.
President Bush will rely on commanders in the field to determine the troop levels "needed for victory in Iraq," Cheney said, rather than listen to polls or "artificial timelines set by politicians in Washington, D.C."
The president will continue to pursue terrorists with all the tools at his disposal, the vice president said, recognizing the enemy "likely has combatants inside the United States."
Voters will have an opportunity in some of this year's national congressional elections to "reject resignation and defeatism," Cheney said.
"I will fight to make sure that our soldiers have clear benchmarks and goals so that we can measure our success in Iraq, complete our mission, and begin bringing our troops home," Moul said.Do the Democrats really want to run on a cut and run strategy? If we remove our troops from Iraq, then we prove what Bin Laden said about us, that we are a paper tiger and will back down from a fighcasualtiesugh causualties and it will embolden our enemies to continue their fight against us. I really wish we had leaders (besides Bush and Cheney) who understood this and who had the will to stay the course and fight. Haven't we learned from history? Bin Laden has!
