“I do not believe nation-building in Iraq is going to be the issue come November – whether things get better there or worse. I think nation-building in America is going to be the issue,” wrote columnist Thomas Friedman. “It’s the state of America now that is the most gripping source of anxiety for Americans, not al-Qaida or Iraq. Anyone who thinks they are going to win this election playing the Iraq or the terrorism card – one way or another – is, in my view, seriously deluded.”
Friedman’s advice to voters: “We need nation-building at home, and we cannot wait another year to get started. Vote for the candidate who you think will do that best. Nothing else matters.”

Our Nation building (re0building) will get started after we have accomplished Regime Change!

Thomas Friedman is still a pocket pool player amongst journalists. His assessment is about as valued as a wart.
“Thomas Friedman is still a pocket pool player amongst journalists.”
Coming from the Right, what that means is “the son of a bitch is right and we need to shut him up.”
Um, Mr Brownlee, ya sorta left out one key quote from Friedman:
“That’s us. We’re at a 34-year low. And digging out of this hole is what the next election has to be about and is going to be about — even if it is interrupted by a terrorist attack or an outbreak of war or peace in Iraq.”
The #1 Role of the Federal Government is to provide for National Defense.
If you ignore #1, you might as well forget about anything else, including your Socialist “Nation Building” agenda.
“Socialist “Nation Building” agenda.”
Are you describing our objective in Iraq?

Typical mis-characterization of what I wrote by Clark the liar.
Clark the liar left out the last sentence of what i wrote because he couldn’t handle the truth.
Well gster, after you return from Iraq, please give us all your report of Socialist activities there.
“Clark the liar left out the last sentence of what i wrote because he couldn’t handle the truth.”
