Of course, Bin Laden is still at large. The Saud faamily is still practicing a Wahabbist oligarchy in Saudi Arabia. Basheer Assad succeeded his father in Syria, where more likely than not Bin laden is in semi-permanent residence.
But at least we've spent billions on toppling Iraq while at the same time cutting taxes and programs benefiting the poor, the sick, and the children here at home.
Now, having reviewed where the liberals I know stood on 9/11 and the events taking place since then, please explain to me what part, if any, of Rove's statement was true.

I don't know whether you are or not. You only really post about tax policy. I think Sidd is moderate for this board, but his tax policy is probably liberal. But I digress.
If liberal includes everybody to the left of center, than what Rove said is basically wrong. I say basically because it is a fact that a lot of left of center folks did want to place the war on terrorism as something more suitable for law enforcement than war. That's a policy question that I don't agree with and that a lot of people on this board to offense to, but it is what it is.
