Making the World a Safer Place.
Jordan Carter claims the world is a safer place now the Democrats control the US Congress, and Donald Rumsfield is no longer Secretary of Defence. Hate to break this news to you, but the Democrats have an awful track record on making the world safe.
In 1992, an unknown Terrorist called Osama Bin Laden organised a plot to set off bombs underneath the World Trade Centre towers in New York. The Democratic President and his cabinet did, well nothing about him, Instead they concentrated on catching the foot soldiers in Bin Laden's organisation.
Attacks on US interests around the world continued, and Bill Clinton and his cabinet only - as George W Bush famously noted - fired a $2 million dollar missle to hit a camel in a tent the butt.
So after 8 years in office, Bill Clinton did next to nothing to stop World Terrorism. 9 months later, Osama Bin Laden's agents hijacked commercial jets and, well, you know the rest.
So Bill Clinton and the Democrats proved that doing nothing about terrorism means you get more terrorism. And more terrorism is a sign of a less safe world.
So if you are to claim that one US Party is better at the other at making the world safer, I know which party I'd be backing. (And it's not the Jackass party.)

I guess that would be the same party that authorised the financing of Osama bin Laden during his mujhadeen days in Afghanistan? Funny how these things come back to bite you.

Jordan forgets that the candidates that tipped the balance in favour of the Dems are Blue Dogs, who are conservatives, anti abortion and anti Hillary for the White House.
If thats the the Jordan likes to gloat then he is once again sadly misguided. God knows what the Blue Dogs would think having Jordan in their corner!? :)
