Getting it Left on fighting Terrorism

OpEdNews.com is satisfied with the Democrats' oversight of the Iraq War:

"One thing the current debates going on in the Congress are pointing out is that finally, we are going to start getting it right on fighting true terrorism:

1. Democrats and a small number of Republicans no longer want to concentrate on sending troops to Iraq while the real fight on terrorism has been shamelessly ignored.

- How much more real can terrorism get in Iraq? Suicide bombings in the name of Allah, Abu Akhbar, and religion occur every day.
3. The premise "fight them over there so they will not come here" is a fallacy; Israel and the Palestinians have been fighting for years and unless we stop this escalation, that is what bodes for the American future, continuous fighting for years and years to come, with terrorist entering our country and bombs being set off on subways, buses, trains, malls, etc. War only brings war, while peace and negotiations are like throwing water on a raging fire.

- Read what Bin Laden and Zawahiri have to say... the Israeli/Palestinian situation is only mentioned in passing.
4. More concentration on negotiations and bridging difficulties through talks and summits.

- How many summits have been held? The Camp David Accords, The OsloAccords... the second Camp David Summit... each talk has broken down, or fallen apart shortly after. Most recently, the Palestinians walked away from the negotiating table with President Clinton.
Thank God Democrats are finally in control again and can stop the madness, lies and deception and party rule no matter how wrong and bring back the goodwill this county has so long been known for. Thank God the troops will no longer haveto fight for a lie that they are fighting for our freedoms, because theIraqi people have never threatened our freedoms. No, the troops have been fighiting George Bush's war and not the real war on Terrorism!"
- Way to speak for the troops.
