In light of recent comments by John Kerry "If I am elected president and the recommendations of the 9/11 commision are not in place, I will call an emergency session of congress to put them in place"
This is an opportunity the White House cannot pass up. The President should call an emergency session of congress to implement 9/11 commision recommendations immediately. Let the Democrats complain that it is political calling an emergency session on the eve of the DNC convention and all Bush has to say this is Leadership, this needs to happen now to make america safer. These recommendations are not partisan.
Although I have not read the report fully, I am sure that there are some measures in the report that the Dems may not want implemented and any "no" vote will sure to get the american publics attention prior to NOV 02.
What do you think?
I think its nuts and you are a troll. But I could be wrong.
Implement the 9/11 Commission recommendation immediately? Are you willing to give the president more than a few hours to read the report which he just received today before deciding whether there were good ideas or not?
Welcome to Free Republic, btw.
LOL! The FR kiss of death.....
If my argument is that the commission is a partisan hoax full of crap (which it is), then I'm in no hurry to implement anything.
Its not really a BAD idea. But, anything that would happen that fast is wrought with problems. So, I'd say no, but the premise is a good thought in my opinion.
Tom and Beverly both have brown eyes.
They're already in session.
Yeah! That's it! Let's just rush right off and do it without actually looking at it, and coming up with plans to implement any of the recommendations, study the effects they would have etc! Yeah, let's get right on that!
(Get a clue)
Hasty action in government is BAD. No matter what the motivation.
I knew it was you, Fredo.....You broke my heart.
Everyone has a ummm "Brown Eye".
I thnk we would be better served allowing the President and his staff, particularly the NSA, to digest the information completely before doing anything....let alone something this blatantly political.
And I don't want anything to interrupt what I believe will be the Kerry Campaign's "Waterloo" next week in Boston. These idiots can't help but go "Whoopi" when they are in front of a crowd.
Its going to be the Wellstone Funeral all over again. Can't wait.....LOL!
Think about it.
True, but not everyone uses it to communicate with. Just dims and trolls.
Has John Kerry even read the report? Or is he, as usual, allowing his mouth to overrule his pea brain?
Except that we know that certain parts of the recommendations should never, ever be implemented. (I'm thinking of a single unelected bureaucrat that controls all intelligence gathered, think J. Edgar Hoover times 10.) I'm sure there are other things that are bad ideas. I think everyone needs to digest this before implementing any of it.
