Democrats on Bush's "bumper-sticker" war

Democratic presidential candidates are pretty well all agreed that the war on terror is “Bush’s War,” a bumper-sticker business gussied up for purely political purposes.  

Unfortunately, the attempt to tie the war on terror around Bush’s neck tells us rather more about the Democrats than they might want, writes William Murchison.

We need to look carefully at the phrase "George Bush’s war." It tells us everything we need to know about this field of candidates. Not our war — not America’s. Mr. Bush’s war.

Because on the day before the latest Democratic presidential debate a crew of Islamists from the Caribbean were arrested for conspiring to blow up New York’s JFK airport.  The New York Times reported the arrests on page 30.

Republicans are taking the wrong approach to the Democrats.  The best way to persuade the American people that the Dems are no good is to vote them into office.  Already the new Democratic Congress is proving a disappointment to the voters.

Imagine what they would think if a Democrat were elected president, and, and...

Yes, just what would a Democratic president do about the jihadists and the adventure in Iraq?  Sooner or later we are going to need to find out.

Here’s a guess.  Our lefty friends in the netroots won’t like it.
