Only a complete chuckle head would be against defensive measures against our enemies, and suddenly it looks like the left has discovered that dirty little "truth". Of course we're coming up on election time, so in their feckless way, the left is suddenly "tough" on terrorism, thinking the electorate is going to immediately forget all the ways the Liberals have tried to stifle the Presidents WOT efforts.
