What Would Osama bin Laden Do?
Among the comments on blurbomat's endorsement post from a few days ago was this one from a woman named Melissa:
I support Bush for national security...like it or not under the Democrat presidency of Clinton, military/intelligence spending was cut so drastically that this country could not defend itself. Historically the Democrats are not big on a strong military presence. Ask yourself who Al Queda, Saddam, Ossama would vote for...KERRY...so I have to vote against them.
According to a blurb on the front page of the Philadelphia Daily News web site right now, Melissa appears to be slightly off the mark:
Today's Washington Times reports that in Iraq, "foreign extremists prefer Bush, because he's a provocative figure, and the more they can push people to the extreme, the better for their case." Hmmmmm. Who are those foreign extremists in Iraq? Will Bunch says it's al Qaeda, and challenges you to come up with a differing valid interpretation of that quote.
You can find Will Bunch's analysis of the Washington Times article in its entirety at Campaign Extra.

Dick Cheney thanked Ronald Reagan after the Gulf War, saying that the military in use, is the one built by the previous President's administration. He never thanked Bill Clinton for the unpresidented sweep to Baghdad.
More and more I'm coming to believe that the diatribes that Democrats are fiscally irresponsible and are deadset on cutting defense are little more than myths.
Nobody spins congressional voting records like the Republicans. I'm not saying that I wish the Democrats would put more effort into spinning. I just wish the Republicans would be more honest or barring that put a sock in it.
