The US had an active program of helping secure and destroy
nuclear weapons in the former USSR nations. Bush scrapped it,
leaving the door open for terrorists to get nukes. Care to blame
blame Pelosi for that?
Then of course there is the problem of refusing to address
the issue of WHY the US is so hated. Could it be that the US keeps
meddling in ME politics and making enemies in the process? The
US had no interest in stationing troops in Beirut. The US had no
business stationing troops in Saudi Arabia. The US had no business
sending aid to Saddam. The US has no business of defending every
action that Israel takes.
George Wa****ngton had it right about avoiding entangling
alliances abroad.

Generals appointed by Bush, then sacked by Bush. Why does Bush keep
saying he trusts his "Commanders on the ground" even as he keeps
replacing them?
