President Bush has plenty of the latter but not nearly enough of the former. A few of the '08 candidates look promising on the former but are suspect on the latter, or vice versa. I have yet to see one who has both.

What he wants is for us to stop just throwing the words around and do something constructive and useful to reduce and prevent terrorism. Like impeaching Bush and Cheney (that's my line, not his).

You cannot declare war on a tactic, that's like declaring a "War on Grade Point Averages" just who are you going after? I prefer "War on Islamic Fundamentalism" as it wasn't "terror" that attacked us, it was Islamic Fundamentalists. I personally think the term “War on Terror” needs to be dropped.
