Republicans want to make us look weak on defense. Do they have a point? Of course not, but people will think they do if we do not have a quick response ready.
Lets get a primer, shall we?"Democrats Offer Bold Security Agenda" take a look...
Democratic leaders across the country joined House and Senate Democrats in unveiling a comprehensive plan for providing the American people with real security. The agenda stands in stark contrast to the dangerous incompetence of the Republican leadership.
So, you want some talking points about the Democratic defense plan?
Democrats will take the fight to Al-Queda, capture Osama Bin-Laden, and bring him to justice for his murderous crimes against our citizens and the citizens of other nations.
Democrats will acually LISTEN to the military and our Generals, unlike Bush and his republicans.
Democrats will change strategy in Iraq by removing and redeploying American troops and by increasing diplomacy and financial support for the democratically elected gov't of Iraq. Democrats will look for diplomatic solutions to the growing sectarian violence in the region.
Democrats will engage Iran, Syria, and North Korea diplomatically, and ensure agreements which will strengthen, not weaken, the security of America and our Allies.
Democrats will support our troops by passing a GI bill of rights that will protect our soldiers at home and abroad; on the battlefield with sufficient battle armor, and at home, with secure benefits, health care, and housing.
