>When the libs in power succeed in demoting America as a world power and succed in failing to protect our interests

Don't you think the following has hurt the US's status?
- attacking Iraq based largely on false pretenses
- failing to defeat the Iraqi insurgency
- failing to find Bin Laden

>It took G.W.Bush and crew to show the terrorists that we'd back up what we threatened.

By failing to capture their leader? By wasting time, money and lives pretending the terrorists were in Iraq?

> we will once again be the laughing stock of the world.

World opion of the US government has been falling since Bush was elected.
