The Real Story on National Security

So to set the record straight, let's revisit this impressive record of the Chickenhawks, shall we?:

1. It was on Bush/Cheney's watch that the worst terrorist act in our history occurred

2. It was Bush/Cheney who foolishly rushed to war over inaccurate intelligence

3. It was Bush/Cheney who grossly underestimated the insurgency

4. It was Bush/Cheney who defied experts like Gen. Shinseki and sent too few troops

5. It was Bush/Cheney who sent soldiers into battle without proper body armor and protective equipment

6. It was Bush/Cheney who've been wrong about every milestone in Iraq--fall of Saddam; death of Uday/Qusay; handing over of sovereignty; elections, etc--serving as the catalyst for reduced violence

7. It is Bush/Cheney who are the cause of over 2200 US Soldiers' deaths

8. It is Bush/Cheney whose actions have injured and/or maimed some 20,000+ soldiers

9. It is Bush/Cheney who've started a war that's spiraling out of control with no end in sight

10. It is on Bush/Cheney's watch that we've seen increased acts of terrorism around the world: London, Madrid, Egypt, Iraq and elsewhere.

11. It is Bush/Cheney whose grand plan for a Democratized Middle East has actually resulted in more U.S-hating radicals being elected in places like Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq and the Palestinian territories

12. It is Bush/Cheney who promised to capture Osama bin Laden "dead or alive" and bring him to justice

13. It was Bush and Cheney who let bin Laden escape the hills of Tora Bora

14. It is on Bush/Cheney's watch that bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri's audio and video tapes are a constant reminder of how safe we are not

15. It is on Bush/Cheney's watch that N. Korea and Iran, largely unchecked by the U.S., have defied the Western world by restarting their nuclear weapons programs

16. It is Bush/Cheney's policy of torture that has made the world less safe for Americans and U.S. servicemen abroad

17. It is Bush/Cheney who've alienated us from virtually all of our allies

18. It is on Bush/Cheney's watch that U.S. popularity has sunk to unprecedented lows around the globe

Is there anyone out there who truly believes unCurious George and his sniveling sidekick, two inept, chickenhawk, war-mongering maniacs, are the best we have to protect America? Give us a f**king break.
