We talked about this subject before and got all derailed into passionate name-calling. But I'm going to bring the question up again posed in a slightly different manner.
Let's say that you believe that Bush and the Neocons have completely bullocksed the entire GWOT with profound implications to our geopolitical relations by using the US Armed Forces in a provocative manner. Let us say further that you believe that such fighting actually recruits Jihadis. Let us say finally that your primary interest in the 08 election is to nullify and reverse the (abuse of the) Executive Branch.
Which will be your primary weapon against global jihad?
Edwards says it will be Education.
Clinton says it will be moderation of the Executive Branch
Obama is the most hawkish.
Richardson's position is unclear to me.
Do you believe Congress can be the primary weapon? How about the State Department? What is your level of confidence in Homeland Security?
I think it's reasonable to talk about a global police action and a special counterterrorist court that treats this class of offenders on a different basis than our regular criminal courts. Imagine if GTMO were run by somebody other than the Bush Administration. Could it be an effective weapon against Global Jihad?
