The days of King George (of England) are long gone, in case you haven't noticed. You've never been on the 8th floor of the State Department -- the little people never get to go there. We do have an elected monarchy. And the pomp and circumstance gets more and more pronounced with each succeeding President. The first generation of Presidents were true to the spirit of the Republic. The days of George Washington are long over. Harry Truman just had his army pension to survive on when he retired. Not so, now.

I have no argument with you there, and I share your digust for the current state of gov't. But my point was that Bush's relunctance to connect OKC with Iraq because he doesn't want to hurt the Presidency (by imlicating Clinton) is a position that's very detrimental to our national security (if that's in fact what he's doing). And considering that Clinton seems completely unconcerned about even the possibility of Bush letting the cat out of the bag, it leads one to wonder, as the Freeper Lancey Howard suggested above, what sort of dirt on Dubya the former scumbag-in-thief has in his own possession. Well, what's more important, the national security of the U.S. or hurting the "integrity of the Presidency?" I maintain it's the former, and if by exposing the OKC-Iraq connection harm is done to the Presidency by implicating the traitor/rapist/murderer Bill Clinton, then so be it. IMO, it's very unhealthy for Americans to look upon the Presidency as an unassailable institution. The days of King George (of England) are long gone, in case you haven't noticed.

Oops, sorry Utopia. My last post had my previous-to-last post attached at the bottom. Here's what I intended.....
