DECEMBER OF 2000!!!!

That was the month I spent in my pajamas, waiting for an end to the nightmare that the Gore campaign was putting us through. But Richard Clarke came up with a plan for AQ then???

[Howlin]

Yes, he did. So said Joe Klein on CNN just now!

[Miss Marple]

Yes, and what a plan it was! ABout 5 suggestions on one piece of paper!

[Howlin]

What rotten luck, heh? Working for Clinton for 8 years and finally coming up with a plan as they're walking out the door?

UTTER BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And because Bush didn't start bombing Afghanistan on 1/22/01 he's weak on terrorism. I'm sure the Democrats would have backed that 100%. </sarcasm>

LOL! Same here. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown but I made it through it.

Don't forget that in December 2000, the presidential transition process was in chaos due to the Florida selective vote recount by the dams.There is no question that this distraction hurt the presdient's ability to govern
and hampered the administration's ability to get up to speed- and then- 09-11-01 happened. Thank god we had a leader with strong executive and delegating ability. I wonder why nobody is exploring the possibility that bill clinton may have known 9-11 was coming? that is far more credible to me than Bush having prior knowledge. Think about it: it would be the ultimate symbolic tearing out of the "W" keys throughout the whitehouse.
