Maybe a place at State for him or another dem? Bush won with his base but must govern from the center or the next four years will be a horror show. Same on deficits and economy and environment. There are compromises to be made. |

What I will not concede, ever, is that this is a black day in our nation's history that will go down in infamy, brought upon us by those with small minds and weak hearts. |

To: michael97123 who wrote (150839) | 11/3/2004 11:40:31 AM | From: Neocon | | | Of course some compromises will be made, but your basic premise is wrong. Bush did not have a solid victory and pick up seats in Congress to suddenly lurch to the middle. He must deliver for his base, or he will breed trouble. |

Many have no idea that over half of the forces currently in Afghanistan are non-US (not counting the Afghanis themselves) serving under the International Security Assistance Forces.
The initial assault, Operation Enduring Freedom, had significant participation including equipment, materiel and thousands upon thousands of soldiers from Germany, France, Canada, Britain, Italy, Japan, Denmark, Holland, Norway, New Zealand and no doubt others that I can't remember. This was a real international coalition, reflecting in the acceptance by the international community of the clear legitimacy of the mission.
Iraq is quite another matter. |
