To accuse only the Republicans of politicizing the war exposes the polarity
of your views on the matter.  I have a question for you.  Why should the
interests of a labor union dictate matters of national security?  Is it in
the best interests of the US to have a union dictate labor rules in the
Dept. of Homeland Defense?  Cool thing to read before replying:

Why in the name of homeland security do we want to take power away from the
President that he possessed on 9/11? Power that Jimmy Carter had. Power that
Ronald Reagan had. Power that the first President Bush had and power that
Bill Clinton had. Have we lost our minds? The U.S. Senate's refusal to grant
this President and future presidents the same power that four previous
presidents have had will haunt the Democratic Party worst than Marley's
ghost haunted Ebenezer Scrooge. Why did they put workers' rights above
American lives? Why did that 2002 US Senate - on the one year anniversary of
9/11 - with malice and forethought, deliberately weaken the powers of the
president in time of war?
