Remember how Clinton didn't do shit after US Cole, retreated from Somalia, sent a couple of Tomahawks into the desert after the African Ambassy bombings and gave up multiple opportunities to have Bin Laden handed to him on a plate. Oh and my favourite, when he decided to bomb a baby milk factory in retaliation for one outrage.
Bin Laden said himself that he was emboldened by such a display of weakness.
If the Dems get in then the generation afterwards will have to put up with bring nuked, simple as that. You win a war by defeating your enemy, not by flirting with him.

it simply can't be argued about what "democrats would have done" because it can't be proven or disproven. like webby, you posting to defend your own political bias and views.
FYI - Clinton withdrew from Somalia because the voting public wanted that.
