Excellent briefing by Snow. Two points I'd like to make. The Democrat's so-called concern for domestic security, via ports and containers, etc., has nothing to do with security; it's all about constituency.
Just like the original debate over airline security, the Democrats want to use the terrorist threat to line the pockets of their union pay-masters by expanding the "government" payroll, with generally less than competent people. See what happens if and when Republicans decide to offer these jobs to private sector employees.
Secondly, the issue about Bush not forging appropriate alliances or coalitions with our partners...or alienating our traditional allies (ie France), is nonsence. What Democrats and much of the media ignore is that Bush has formed much more important alliances with many non-traditional nations.
France and Germany may be on the fringes...but in their place, Bush has forged relationships with many other nations like Pakistan, India, Uzbekistan, etc. In fact, Bush and Rice have worked hard with many of the former Soviet satellites...which when viewed from a geographical perspective, shows just how important these new alliances will be, if and when we decide to take on Iran. With our presence in Afghanistan and Iraq, Iran is being slowly enveloped, as Bush builds more important coalitions with Iran's neighbors.
That's a great point. Clinton didn't even know about Al-Qaeda when he was in a position to the most...how in the hell would he know anything, now. This is a guy who met with his mistress on more ocassions than he did his CIA director...literally.
"Q How much beefing up is there that needs to be done? Is this a series issue? Are there -- you've got to plan -- is there tweaking that needs to be done?"
This briefing is being replayed on cspan2 now.
Clinton has to stay in his trench until the UN troops get there
In the middle of the night a bunch of Ninjas would repel from Black Helicopters into Bin Ladin's Al Queda training camp and scare the Bejeebes out of Bin Ladin and his crew and then leave without hurting anyone.
I absolutley despise that lying, self-serving, egotistical, sociopathic, camera-hogging, media-whoring, treasonous, me-me-me Bill Clinton!
But, I understate....
I thought I heard a while back that CLinton lost his license for being dishonest and not answering a question truthfully while he was under oath. A decision was made by a court of law that he in fact was lying in his testimony. Or was that just a nasty rumor from the vast right wing conspiracy?
If you asked him to write a will for you, I bet he couldn't do it.
Oh I love that great big winky face!!!
Tony Snow on Brian and The Judge now!!
Thanks, but I missed it.
That's ok, it was very short! Didn't miss much.
