| As they say, go read it all. This is just a select few quotes. It is my deeply held conviction that these people are not only wrong, they are disastrously wrong — and that the withdrawal they demand would be a moral and security catastrophe _________ The fact of the matter is, you cannot claim to be tough on terrorism while demanding that our military withdraw from Iraq, because it is the terrorists — particular Al Qaeda — that our military is fighting in Iraq. _________ For many Democrats, if President Bush is for it, they must be against it. If the war is going badly, it is bad for Republicans and it is good for Democrats. It is as simple as that, and it is as wrong as that. _________ The fact is, a loss to Al Qaeda and Iran in Iraq would be devastating to our security. ... We must make them with our eye on the safety of America’s next generation, not the outcome of America’s next election. _________ I believe that each of us should be grateful that we have a commander-in-chief who does not believe that decisions about war should be driven by poll numbers. _________ It is a choice not just about our foreign policy and our national security and our interests in the Middle East. It is about what our political leaders in both parties are prepared to stand for. It is about our very soul as a nation. _________ He said: “Sir, I want you to know on behalf of the soldiers in my unit and myself that we believe in why we are fighting here, we want to finish this fight. And we know we can win it.” _________ Al Qaeda is on the run, thousands of Iraqis have joined the local police, and — yes — no less than the New York Times reports that we have turned the corner there. _________ |

| #4 Actually, the war against Jihad is the only thing on which he is on the right side. Even in other military and foreign policy matters, he's more like Clinton or Edwards than and Republican. So, yeah, I'd vote for him over, oh, Ron Paul, but anyone else from the GOP (including Drain Commissioner or Dogcatcher) would get My vote otherwise. |

| #1 Like I posted before, I may not like his social policies but I trust him with our defense more than the others. |
