Republican Foreign Policy Successes?

From The Progressive Daily Beacon:
Bush, Rove and Republicans insist they are the Party of "Foreign Policy" and "National Security" expertise. Here is the long list of their "successes":

1. Iran refuses to stop their uranium enrichment program

2. North Korea fires off a series of missiles

3. Islamic Jihadists take control of Somalia, institute Sharia Law, and for good measure shoot innocent people for doing nothing more than watching a soccer match on television

4. In Afghanistan the Taliban -- the people that harbored bin-Laden during the lead-up to 9/11 -- reemerges stronger than ever

5. The CIA shut-down its bin-Laden taskforce even though he too, according to terrorism experts who highlight his increased video releases as proof, appears to be reemerging stronger than ever

6. Israel and Palestine are pushing the entire Middle East toward the edge of coming completely unglued

7. Saddam captured, Zarzawi dead, third or fourth government installed and Iraq continues its unabated march toward total chaos and civil-war

Hmmm...looks like the experts are more like complete failures. Wonder if the Democrats might figure it out any time soon?
