National Security

Over at The American Prospect, Matthew Yglesias furthers the argument that Bush is an inadequate war president. On the topic of national security Yglesias writes:

The central debate here is not one Democrats should be running away from. The contention that the continued reality of the terrorist threat somehow vindicates the Bush approach is absurd -- if anything, it does the reverse -- and liberals need to start saying so.

As I've noted before, Democrats need to push the national security argument. Hard. They must press the argument not only because it can be an electoral winner but because it is the right thing to do. America's security depends on a leader who knows when to take action and what action must be taken.
