[quote=briansd1]Allan, true or not, there’s a perception that Democrats are soft on terrorists. It’s a political liability for Democrats and this liability constrains what they can do.[/quote]
Brian: Not to sound obtuse, but it constrains them, how?
Obama just passed the largest Defense budget in US history. He has dramatically ramped up the drone program in the AfPak region. Obviously, renditions continue, Gitmo remains open, and we’re running interdiction operations in places like Somalia, Yemen and Indonesia.
Clearly, the Dems aren’t soft on terrorism and I don’t see how they’re constrained.
