Left-Wing Democrats Kerry and Gore Allege “Catastrophic” Bush National Security Policies
by: Col. John H. Wambough, Jr. USAF (Ret.)

Be mindful that if Left-Wing Democrats had been in charge post 9/11, none of the below successes would have ever happened. (Three days into the Afghanistan War, the Left was calling it a Quagmire and doom and gloom scenarios were being manufactured hourly). However, no fear, had Kerry been President, he would have taken his terrorist problem to the United Nations; the U.N. would still be passing meaningless resolutions; negotiations with the Taliban Regime would be ongoing; the economic relationships the French, Germans, Russians and Chinese had with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq would have remained in tack; and the corruption of the U.N. Oil for Food Program would have never been exposed. In the meantime, the terrorists would have been able to devote their full energies to further attacks on the United States.

Also, Kerry would likely be telling the American people that he was working the terrorist problem harder and smarter with the International Community than any Republican Administration. No fear, fighting terrorism would have been the top priority of a Kerry Administration—just like it was in the Clinton-Gore Administration—but no action. Wars are bad for poll numbers and especially for Democrats—given their political philosophy of anti war, anti military, anti intelligence; anti national defense; anti-etc.; plus their well-known wartime indecisiveness and incapacitation caused by their perspectives of doom and gloom.

Below are some of the results of President Bush’s so-called “Catastrophic” policies. These results show what can happen when courage, strategic thinking, and the National Security of United States is put above courting polls and political popularity—nationally and internationally. Think about this question: What is the future of our country if we chose to systemically take apart the leaders that act to protect us in favor of those who are willing (for political power) to subvert us? Here are results of an Armed Forces and a Commander-in-Chief that went after terrorists and terrorist nations to prevent future attacks on the U.S.

Eradicated al-Qaeda’s sanctuary in Afghanistan; removed the terrorist Taliban regime from power; elections scheduled 2004.

Millions of girls now can go to school in Afghanistan; millions of women have rights they didn’t have with the Taliban regime.

Removed the threat of Saddam Hussein in the Middle East and the national security threat he posed to the United States.

Stopped the torture and mass killings of Iraqis. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi’s killed by Saddam’s Regime.

Returned sovereignty to the Iraqi people June 2004; national elections scheduled January 2005.

Introduced democracy to 50 million people. Each soldier that died, was injured or served in the Coalition made this happen. Thank you.

Captured or killed key terrorist leaders; disrupted and seized terrorist finances; destroyed terrorist weapons and training camps.

Fought terrorism on Middle East soil rather than U.S. soil; terrorists were drawn to Iraq instead of the United States.

Liberated millions of children (girls included) and gave millions of new textbooks to students that don’t teach hate.

Liberated millions of women from degrading treatment and established an environment conducive to a better future.

Infused a new dynamic in the Middle East of human rights, freedom, prosperity and hope for millions of people.

Removed the fear of terror and despair for millions of people in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Transformed terrorists breeding grounds (for attacks against the U.S.) to breeding grounds of promise and hope.

Started a Five Point Plan for Iraq’s sovereignty, independence, security, freedom, and prosperity.

The citizens of the United States, our Armed Forces, our Commander-in-Chief and the Bush Administration should be proud of the above foreign policy, national security and humanitarian successes. Yet, Left-Wing Democrats charge that these results represent “the worst strategic and military miscalculations and mistakes in the history of the United States of America.” Let me predict that history will side with the President George W. Bush as it did with President Ronald W. Reagan; and not with the pessimism and rage of John Kerry, Al Gore, Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle, Nancy Pelosi and the mass liberal media—agenda driven—propaganda machine.
