![]() I've read a bit on this, And the article irvine quoted said it all. A person who can't but can't be bothered is fine for a salesman but for the president? uh uh. Sometimes I actually feel sorry for him, he just seems so lost and confused. He never seems strong, or wise or knowing or anything you'd expect from someone in that position. |

The only thing I'm still left wondering about is what would have happened on 9/11 if the Clinton administration would have still been in power and had been given the same informtion that the Bush administration seemed to have before the attack. Maybe the attack would have still been successful, maybe not. I'm still not sure. As far as I'm concerned, Bush is one of the worst (if not the worst) President this country has ever had. As just so that we're clear, I've voted both Democrat and Republican in past presidential elections. The only thing that gives me hope is that most of the staunch Bush supporters and lifelong Republicans that I know and that supported Bush in the last two elections are now backing various Democratic candidates in 2008. |

nothing like tossing a few missles into the Sudan. does the rise of Al-Qaeda have to do with Clinton adminstration failures? absolutely. should Clinton have taken the 1993 WTC bombing more seriously than he did? probably. did the Bush administration walk into the WH in January of 2001 and not want to hear about terrorism and instead pick fights with China (remember that spy plane thing?) absolutely. did the Bush administration -- along with the CIA -- utterly fail the American people on 9-11? absolutely. what is 9-11 if not the failure of government to keep Americans safe. |

maybe you could expand your reading and plagiarize from other sources? |

But yeah, let's blame it all on Clinton. Short sightedness is one step away from blindness. |

and very little is what was done during those 8 months. i'm not going to let Clinton off the hook, not at all. but the record clearly shows that when the Bush team took over, they were disinterested in terrorism and wanted to focus on Russia and China. Condi Rice was one of the foremost experts on the Soviet Union. and we still can't get around the August memo of "Bin Laden Determined to Attack in the US." do you have any criticisms of Bush? or just rationalizations disguised as Clinton criticisms? |

Are your solid Republican friends supporting Hillary/Obama as a protest vote? Do they feel like Hillary will sort out the war mess much differently than Giuliani/Thompson/Romney? Maybe your GOP buddies are just waiting for Newt Gingrich to jump into the race ![]() |

I don't think it is a protest vote, I think they're honestly disillussioned with the Republican party as a whole. Believe me, to hear them say things like "we judged Clinton too harshly" makes me lightheaded. We're talking staunch Cuban American Republicans. I don't think it's only about the war, I think it's everything, it's hearing all this preaching about morality only to find these preacher politicians involved in sex scandals. I think these last 8 years has just been too much for most people. Well, except for people like Struck. Not sure what country he's been living in, then again he was 8 or so when Bush went into office. |
