Howard Dean has told voters that electing a Democrat is the only way to end the War in Iraq, but he fails to mention is his party's candidates have other places on their "Countries to Invade" list. Of all the Democrats running for President, two have mentioned two respective nations they would like to see the United States involved in.
After being called inexperienced because of his comments on meeting foreign leaders, Sen. Barack Obama fought that criticism by saying he would send American troops across the borders of the nuclear power Pakistan. That comment really shrugged off that whole "inexperienced" image now didn't it? Oh and I even forgot to mention Pakistan is a close ally in the War on Terror.
Not to be outdone, Sen. Joseph Biden promised to send US troops in to the Sudan to stop the Darfur genocide where U.S. security is not threatened whatsoever.
However, not a single GOP candidate has recommended entering in to another conflict, especially another Middle Eastern one. Yet the GOP is being labeled as the Party of War by the same liberals who desperately want an Obama Presidency.
With the exception of Ron Paul, every Republican candidate is pushing for finishing the job in Iraq and rebuilding our military strength.
The Democrats seem to be uninterested in either of those goals, opting to stretch our military (even further) and finding a new war for which they can cut funding.
You may not see us Republicans turning in to hippies with our own brand of peace songs, but lets consider which political party will promote the safest foreign policy.
