Are Democrats dangerous for our national security?
mission_viejo_california asked:
Last week, a congressional committee passed a resolution condemning the Armenian genocide. There is no doubt that up to a million Armenians died during World War I, although historians still debate whether their deaths constitute deliberate genocide or are collateral casualties of war.
House Democrats brought the resolution to a vote despite entreaties from the White House to postpone it. For Congress, though, the resolution was less about rectifying history than grandstanding. House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Tom Lantos (D., Cal.) called a vote. It passed. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) pooh-poohed the episode. This was not about Turkey, she explained, but rather “about the Ottoman Empire.” Unclear, though, is why congressional Democrats felt the urgent need to condemn an entity that hasn’t existed for 85 years.
Unfortunately, grandstanding has consequences. Turkey recalled its ambassador; and now the State Department finds itself now devoid of leverage to prevent a Turkish incursion into Iraq to fight Kurdish terrorists. Pelosi’s posturing has put U.S. use of the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey to supply our forces both in Afghanistan and Iraq in jeopardy.
If only the Armenian Genocide resolution was an isolated event. It’s amateur hour in Congress. The efforts of Sen. Joseph Biden (D., Del.) to divide Iraq on ethnic and religious grounds threaten to spark civil war just as U.S. servicemen make inroads in preventing it. Biden’s motivation may be to garner media attention. He has succeeded. The problem, though, his statements get more airtime in Iran and Iraq, where revolutionary mullahs use his pronouncements to convince Iraqis that U.S. forces seek to destroy Iraq rather than rebuild it.

They are a threat to our national and financial security…
Most of the political faces in USA now are dangerous for the USA it self and for the peace of this world
Let’s face it, our national security has become much worse under the Republican administration. I think the tidal wave a change that is coming in the next election will be good for all Americans.
All politicians are a grave threat to our safety
#1. Vietnam war = 2,000,000 real death!!! Not a fake holohaox
#2. Japan in China = 20,000,000 death
#3. American Indians
#4. US slavery
The liberal Dems will do ANYTHING up to and including supporting the terrorists to undermind any progress made by the Pres.
You might want to stop attacking your fellow countrymen and start looking a the religious zealots that are your real enemy.
Nothing any democrat has said or done has threatened our national security more than the decision by Bush to invade Iraq. That decision will have negative consequences for years to come. If, as you say, the democrats are a detriment to national security then the republicans who engineered the Iraq war are guilty of high treason should be lined up against the wall and shot.
The Armenian situation will blow over. Murtha made comments based on the known facts at the time. The rest of your points are just spin, playing fast and loose with the facts. As I said, we will be paying for Bush’s bad foreign policy decisions for a long time.
EDIT - By the way, if you’re going to copy and paste an article you should say so and not present it as something you wrote.
Yes, the dems are a threat to everything this country stands for. They stand in front of the cameras and tell the world that we have lost the war, and our soldiers are murderers and rapest, and all this does is to give the terrorist the encouragement to attack us not worry about retribution, because they know that the dems will not fight back. Forget political correctness, it is time to tell the dems to either stand for America or shut up and sit down.
Do a google search as to which party controlled each branch of government during the worst attack in our nation’s history and you’ll find who’s most dangerous for our national security.
Absolutely! They’ve been doing this kind of damage to our country since the 60’s. It’s high time the American people woke up and show up the libs for what they are.
Well let’s look back at who fought and WON some of our big wars, FDR, Truman, Wilson
Nope looks like they are DEFINATELY the better party for security
No offense, but what national security? We buy software and hardware from overseas for our computers, cheaper labor costs, could it be infected with a virus, trojan horse of some type set to destroy or transfer files to its mother country? Our open borders where there is no disputing the fact that thousands cross each and every day, illegally. The fact we were indeed going to sell our rights to our ports to a middle-eastern country, under republican leadership that had a lock on government controlling all three branches? That’s a lot of question to deflect the fact that republicans are not the party of national security, by a long shot.
No but Neocons are.
The Democratic Party has been around longer than the Republican Party, and our nation is still here.
Yes they are. there actions in their very nature are traitorous and seditious. They should all be charged with a crime such as giving aid to our nations enemies
