Didn't Condi give a speech to some foreign policy organization before the 2000 election prominently mentioning bin Laden?
As an aside, I heard David Limbaugh on with Laura Ingraham yesterday, and one thing he said was that he doesn't understand why Bush has refused to hit back against all the lies flung at him. Limbaugh said that if people systematically lied about him, attacking his character for six years, he'd be out smashing heads. Granted, the Pres. of the United States can't go out and smash heads, but Bush's willingness to just sit there and passively take it from these vicious goons for six years is way beyond my ability to comprehend too. I respect Pres. Bush, but for the good of the party and the good of the nation, I want a fighter to run in 2008.
Because then he will look like he's trying to hide something by always being on the defense and the media would eat it up
He takes his job seriously and won't allow himself to be distracted by these BS stories about him
Also .. President Bush was a history major in college .. he knows that history will be told about him in the future and about presidency and his legacy
History will tell of a strong leader .. unlike that of Clinton and Carter
The president has won two presidential elections without "smashing heads".
I agree with every word you said. I know the president wanted to change the tone in Washington but it clearly hasn't worked and I didn't know that changing the tone included lying down and taking the crap being flung from every corner.
