"The Sept 10 Bush and the Sept 11 Bush are, perforce, two very different men. Your deceptively highlighted posts woefully misrepresent that fact."
His own statements were highlighted, as were those of Condoleeza Rice. Nothing I added except bolding to answer several freeper's plea for Putin to sign on to Bush's super powerful anti-terrorist program. And I did so only to point out that it was Putin who was fighting these Muslem extremists long before Sept 11, and proclaiming that Saudi was an instigator while Condo Rice was kicking dirt on that claim.
Your reply is non-responsive to my criticism. You cherry-picked quotes Bush made before 911 with the intention of deceiving your readers into thinking those quotes represent his present position. They do not. The Sept 10 Bush and the Sept 11 Bush --- perforce (i.e., due to an act of war) --- are two very different political leaders with very different agendas in foreign policy.
