What the Dems should say on National Security.

Daily Kos has great analysis here. The bullet points:

1. We need our allies


2. We need the world to trust us again


3. We have to fund first responders and train them


4. The missions of the US military must be clear and focused


5. The UN and NATO save American lives and promote the security of the United States


6. A Democratic secretary of Defense will work for the president, not the other way around


7. 9/11 needs to be fully investigated so we can prevent those errors from happening again.


8. We are honor bound to help reconstruct Iraq. But we can only do it with the cooperation of the Iraqi people.


9. We will work with Mexico and Canada to ensure, safe, secure borders without the risk of injury and death to those who seek to improve their lives by finding work in America.
