"Sending our military on vague, aimless, and endless missions rapidly saps morale.
Even the highest morale is eventually undermined by back-to-back deployments, poor pay, shortages of spare parts and equipment, inadequate training, and rapidly declining readiness."
"A comprehensive strategy for combating the new dangers posed by weapons of mass destruction must include a variety of other measures to contain and prevent the spread of such weapons.
We need the cooperation of friends and allies."
"Nor should the intelligence community be made the scapegoat for political misjudgments."http://www.gop.com/RNC404.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/About/PartyPlatform/Default.aspxOne topic, however, is noticeably absent;
there is no mention of al Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden in the platform's section on terrorism. In contrast,
the 2000 Democratic Party Platform mentions Bin Laden by name: "Battling Terrorism. Whether terrorism is sponsored by a foreign nation or inspired by a single fanatic individual, such as Osama Bin Laden, Forward Engagement requires trying to disrupt terrorist networks, even before they are ready to attack."
