I can not stand bad politics from the left or right, Republicans or Democrats. Please can someone tell me who though it was a great idea after the events in the UK for Senator Patrick Leahy to turn up on Meet the Press and act as if this was the 1970s and George W. Bush was Richard Nixon. It seems that Democrats have learnt nothing at all, after the London events it is even more important for intelligence to track people and what do the Democrats give the appearance of doing, if not their actual aim, they want to treat UBL as some ordinary American and therefore with the same rights. Senator Obama is right about old politicians fighting the battles of the 60s and 70s, not sure he would agree with me on this but you get the impression that some of these old Senators are stuck in a Time Warp. The High Water Mark for them was the mid 1970s, Nixon and Watergate. The Democrats don't have a real answer to the problems in Iraq or for Terrorism in general. Thus one of the best intelligence programmes that tracks calls from outside the United States they want to know under what law it was used and who they are tracking. SMELL THE COFFEE Democrats 9/11 happened and American lost nearly three thousand people in one day. How many attacks after that on USA soil none. The question what do the Democrats say, well something might have gone wrong or some box was not ticked. They act as if they want to catch someone out. The President should faced these people down, once for all, do the American People want security or do they want to return to the Clinton Years, yes those years where UBL could plan for 9/11. Those years where the Democrats could keep their hands clean, we know the cost to the West.
The President should go on National Television and tell the American people how the tracking works and give them a choice, do they want security or are they happy to have the Democrats in charge of National Security. Make it clear they are the two choices, the Democrats keep their noses out or else the programme is off. JFK once stated life is not fair, truth is harsh and political truth is harsher. The Democrats who control Congress are losing support, do they really want to face a tough President who makes them choose before an Election, old Liberals naivety or the Truth of the Modern Age. The President should come out fighting, make the Democrats wish they had never bough the subject up. This is not the 1970s and UBL is not Richard Nixon, TIME FOR DEMOCRATS TO SMELL THE COFFEE.
