So George Bush wanted to take on terrorism and rogue nations even before 9/11, heh? The man just continues to grow in my estimation.

This new book just might knock Al Franken(stein) off the best sellers list. O'Neill is a frothing Bush hater.

CBS is advertizing this story for tonight's 60 Minutes. Surprise, surprise.

Like I want a president that looks for a way to be a coward and avoid conflict like clin-toon.

Not only was "regime change" in Iraq the policy of the two prior Administrations, CONGRESS had passed a law stating this as US policy, BEFORE this President Bush was elected. So the statement in this book is both stupid and dishonest.
However, the more pathetic part is anyone in the press takes this charge seriously. Weren't they alive and reading the Internet prior to the election of Bush? If so, they know this charge is false. Oh, but it's a charge against Bush.
Speaking for the American press, we CAN'T treat any charge against Bush as false, now can we?

From the very beginning, there was a conviction, that Saddam Hussein was a bad person Not like good liberals who think Saddam was just a hapless fellow with good intentions, like all torturing dictators.

I think that what O'Neil is referring to is an order to prepare contingency plans for all possible confrontations, on all possible fronts. SOP for all administrations.

You're giving me the impression that you're just going to be stunned if they attack you for this book, says Stahl to ONeill. And they're going to say, I predict, you know, it's sour grapes. He's getting back because he was fired. I will be really disappointed if they react that way because I think they'll be hard put to, says ONeill.
Is he prepared for it?
Well, I don't think I need to be because I can't imagine that I'm going to be attacked for telling the truth, says ONeill. Why would I be attacked for telling the truth?
That's exactly what it sounds like-sour grapes. And frankly, none of his comments ring true...

The plans to take down Saddam were inherited from Clinton:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1055811/posts "Kristol: O'Neill War Memo Came from Clinton
A controversial White House memo outlining plans for a post-war Iraq that was drafted well before the 9/11 attacks had its origins in the Clinton administration, former Bush 41 White House official Bill Kristol said Sunday."
To: Destro
"Breaking news?"
Um-hmm, the part about this being a bad thing.
To: FreedomPoster
Not only is CBS constantly promoting this during the football game, it was the lead story during the newsbreak on public radio I was listening to. They also keep repeating the "Bush was like a blind man in a room full of deaf people," as if that quote even means anything.
Somehow, I can't recall any former Clinton Administration official getting anywhere near the press when they had bad things to say about Bill or Hill.
You had to read FR or Newsmax for instantce, if you wanted to hear Dick Morris' story about Hillary's anger at the "f#*king Jew bastards."

I think this O'Neill book is, like most liberal things in recent memory, going to ring false with the American people. I'm sure the DNC will snap up alot of copies to make it look like a bestseller, but more people will look at this as some kind of warped attack on Bush.
Most people, IMHO, even those that didn't vote for Bush, grudgingly agree that he's handled 911 and its aftermath quite well
And with the economy chugging to life his numbers should get even better. His domestic priority is freeing the economy for growth. Maybe another tax cut?
I recall seeing a thread the other day that his last cut was too small: government receipts were too high
Paradoxically, if there are no major attacks or arrests by late summer, the Libs may claim 'the war is won, time to focus on jobs' and look for a footing that way
Ideal scenario would be the discovery of Bin Laden's DNA (a drop or two would suffice) in a smoking pile of embers along about July
My only hope is that Dean keeps talking. He's great.

Like I want a president that looks for a way to be a coward and avoid conflict like clin-toon.Clinton was no coward.
Clinton was a very brave man.
He attacked Microsoft with more enthusiasm and more money than he did to defend against Al Quaida.
Clinton went after Bill Gates, perhaps the nations' first or second greatest philanthropist, with no regard to his own safety -what a brave president!
Clinton was offered Bin Laden on "a silver platter" more than once, but didn't know what to do.
Such a great leader.......and soooo intelligent.
Nope, Clinton was none of the above!
Clinton IS a traitorous buffoon, at his best!!
