Seems to be the returning philosophy for the Republicant's and
their puppy dog leader.

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. Defense Department is said to be
mulling a proposal to expand special operations forces and
send them to destroy insurgency strongholds along the
Lebanese-Syrian border. 

U.S. defense sources said the proposal is being examined by
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. They said the plan calls
for a multi-pronged attack on insurgency strongholds in such
countries as Lebanon and Somalia. 

"The global war on terror is continuing, and it will for
the foreseeable future," Rumsfeld, who did not cite
future U.S. counter-insurgency targets, said on Tuesday.
"As we prosecute the war, we'll need to continue to
strengthen, improve and transform our forces; modernize and
restructure programs and commands." 

The London-based A-Sharq Al Awsat reported on Wednesday that
the proposal submitted to Rumsfeld was the result of the
secretary's decision to expand the U.S. war against Al Qaida
and its allies. The Saudi-owned newspaper quoted U.S. sources
as saying the first step being mulled by Rumsfeld is for a
U.S. military attack on Al Qaida strongholds in Somalia as
early as this month.

1. Apparently Truman could be voted out during wartime

atleast he had a good seven year run.

2. Truman was never voted out

He took office in 1945 when FDR died. Beat Dewey in 1948 and did not run again in 1952.

3. Oops sorry forgot about Stevenson

I always think of him running against Ike in 1956 and forgeting 1952.

4. Good to know your history!

Nice call! My impression is that this administration has declared war on the US Constitution. We need to vote him out. I'm curious how many of the contributors on d.u. are active in registering voters? Each of us should sign up at least 20 people by March. Then things will begin to look even better than they do today.
