"I must now stand aside, for our party and our country," Romney said. "If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win."

"And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror," he said.

Mitt seems to think that more war is the answer. That the more of "them" we kill the safer we'll be when the opposite is true.

Bombing Iraq has only led to more anger at the United States and will lead to more terrorists and sooner or later more big attacks like 9/11.

The first Gulf war and the presence of US troops in the "holy" nation of Saudi Arabia were the catalysts for 9/11. Bush did exactly what BinLaden wanted us to do; attack a sovereign Arab Muslim nation for no reason.

Of course the war in Afghanistan was justified as that nation was a base for the 9/11 hijackers but instead of focusing on winning there, Bush did his usual half-assed job and diverted troops to Iraq which ahd nothing to do with 9/11. Now both nations are in ruins and both are fertile breeding grounds for new terroists.

What would Mitt have us do? Stay in Iraq and maybe invade Iran as well?

Bye Mitt. You certainly won't be missed.

We will miss Mitt big time, I don't know what universe you live in. But we will stand by to see him stand again. I don't know where your hatred comes from, you are either a democrate or a Mccain or Huckabee zombie

My hate. Of course, how could I be so foolish? McCain states that electing Clinton or Obama means giving in to terrorists but I'm the hateful one?

And the first Clinton Co-Presidency didn't do exactly what bin Laden wanted? For crying out loud!

If any real journalist would stop their Bush bashing for thirty seconds and actually delve into the inadequacies, ineptitude and destructive policies of the the first Clinton Co-Presidency and get around to telling how their failure played a paramount role in passively enabling terrorist to thrive, survive and strive to hurt us New Yorkers would tar and feather the both of them.

Hillary is far more culpable in the 9/11 attacks than Bush. She was after all, part of the administration that let him walk scot free on at least one occasion. What did her and hubby do about the first WTC bombings? Oh, the two layers, they really sprang into action. By God, they filed some lawsuits- great work there Hil. If her sorry ass was in Washington doing what she was supposed to be doing as a Senator from NY instead of starting on the first leg of her campaign trail, that is TAKING CARE OF NEW YORK, maybe she, with all of her supposed intelligence and "experience," would have gotten her paws of some of the intel that pertained to HER STATE and could have seen something in it that the supposed dunce Bush didn't.

And after she stood around singing God Bless America in the days after the attack what does she do? Oh, goes to Ground Zero to get a photo op with who? Oh yeah Bush the Dunce.

Next she goes and VOTES FOR THE WAR THAT YOU PANTYWASTES CLAIM YOU LOATHE SO MUCH. Why did she do this? Because it was POLITICALLY SAFE as 9/11 started the second leg of her campaign trail. Always had her eye on the prize that one did.

Then she goes onto imply that she was duped, bamboozled. lied to? How does a "leader" that is "ready to be Commander in Chief" on the "first day" get duped so easily? How?

When the "post war strategy" didn't go as she thought it should she and Bill jumped all over the opportunity to further her campaigning. The weasel press glossed right over the fact that the first Clinton co-presidency had dismantled the Intelligence communty (remember the faulty intel leading up to the war) and tried to turn the military into a massive sensitivity training facility. Well no wonder things were a little bumpy. Thanks, Hil.

You want to point blame about the war start right there with the most insidious, egocentric, self-indulgent people inside the Beltway today- your beloved Cintons.
