True, sad but true. I guess what I hate about this scenario the most is not that the Republicans may be doing this to gain control. What I hate the most is a few years from now the Democrats may do the same thing to the Republicans. Unfortunately what goes around comes around. If true this is no way to run a country and not the way our forefathers envisioned it.riverc0il said:

How the free-press became comfortable in bed with this Administration still amazes me....noreaster said:....Democrats may do the same thing to the Republicans. Unfortunately what goes around comes around. If true this is no way to run a country and not the way our forefathers envisioned it.
Just to add one comment. Elementary school and high school should teach our kids how our government is really run by K street and lobbyists.
I sure wish the Republican ruled Congress back in the mid-to-late 90's would have thought about Ben Laden and Al Zarquawi(sp?) a little more than Bill & Monica.... :roll: You know I WAS a Reagan Democrat, back then I thought I understood the Republicans because the party stood for fiscal conservatism. I think they pulled a big one over on everyone!Stephen said:
i think this is a silly comment considering the current administration's defense for not being more proactive with bin laden was that "things were different" before 9/11. the previous administration said the same thing. i can't think of a single administration pre-9/11 repub or demo that did anything to limit bin laden, but i can think of a few administrations that were providing him with weapons and training for various cold war reasons...
Pretty accurate about the golf course! :lol: One thing that the Clinton Administration should have prioritized was the testing and deployment of the armed autonomous aircraft instead of relying on tomahawk-cruise missles. Took too long to get anywhere. Was in planning/manufacturing stages at the end of the Pappa Bush term.Stephen said:

that's doing exactly what bush did, excusing a failure to do the original mission (kill bin laden and remove a leader for WMD that did not exist) and switching the reasons after the fact. we would never have built a so called "coilition of the willing" if our reasons for going into both countries was to make them democracies. no one will deny having these two countries freed from oppresive rule is a bad thing, it's how it was done that stresses out many people. but, that's completely switching the arguement from the previous points made.Stephen said:
