Exactly.

The report says that after 6 years of 'The War on Terror' the enemy are as strong as when it began.

So the strategy is a failure.

Fortunately, the strategy can be easily tied to the unpopular Bush administration, so it's easy for the Democrat's to say "Bush is so stupid. We told you so. Elect us to the White House, and we will do something different" & easy for American voters to believe them.

Do you think that a Democrat administration could have as bad a foreign and defence policy as the current one though?

It's theoretically possible. But it would take a lot of effort, and a continued split in Congress to continue making actually accomplishing anything impossible.

It's the American Way. We have to completely polarize, swing from one extreme to the other every 2-3 election cycles, and wonder why we never get anywhere.

I'm sure they could, if they put their minds to it.

More importantly tho', I don't think they could do a worse job.
