And that cadre in State, CIA, FBI, Justice......
GWB has done many things right. However the leaving of Clintonistas is a huge failing.
Clintonistas in the government cannot, by LAW, be fired if they are under civil service protection or if they are uniformed military. Only people who hold positions which are political appointments can be fired. Most of your mid level people (and ALL of the military) are protected by the civil service law.
