When dems hate Ashcroft, I love to remind them that he would only be a senator had they not elected a dead guy.

"For eight long years, that was the Democratic approach...treating terrorism as a law enforcement problem. "Even if they could have penetrated Bin Laden's training camps, they would have needed a battery of lawyers" to take action, he said. This hits the nail right on the head folks."

YUP! Ashcroft was great! This does hit the nail right on the head. That's why the UN is a collosal failure in this too. They, libs that is, think that you just send the "bad guys" a notice to "clearn up their yard,...or else..." and they're gonna go jumpin' thru hoops and rings to oblige.

It's an sheer and utter lack of wisdom! It is about time someone started firing back. I bet that made Ben Veniste, Roemer, and Kerrey feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ;)

Most news services & stories have Ashcroft being the 'roastee', not 'roastor'. The stories and commission have not ben very kind to him - from the reports I've seen.

Ashcroft rocks. He would've made a great president.

Ashcroft not only hit a home run, he cleared the bases with a grandslam that laid the blame directly on Gorelick!

The reality will take a while to fester as the media contemplates ignoring or following up on the exposure and declassification of the directive. It's great stuff for fans of the blame game on either side but more importantly, it shifts the reality and perception of the whole commission to the era of x42i's incompetence and inaction.

I don't think any of them have been strong enough against clinkton. gore sold out airport security for campaign donations. klinktons sold us out to everyone..

The difference between Ashcroft and Reno yesterday was BLINDINGLY apparent!!!! If anyone had any doubt how totally clueless she was as AG, I think that was put to rest!!

[independentmind]

What I can't figure out is why Gorelick thought she could get away with her posturing on the 911 commission if the Bush Administration had such clear evidence that she was partly responsible for the intelligences failures leading to 911.

Yeah...he really gave them verbal hell....

Too bad he didnt go after them for the dozens of murders and drug smuggling run out of Mena and Bogota...while Clinton was Arkansas Atty Gen and Gov.

Not to mention treason and China

Of course there is a very good reason why the Clinton's are still free and doin' their thang..... and so many are dead....
