You are the fool for trying to blame Bush for the RATS actions. But it won't work here.

No, I blaming Bush for his inactions during his first 100 days.

You obviously have a reading comprehension problem.

You have a lack of comprehension of how things work in Washington believing, I presume, that the President is some sort of dictator or magician. You ASSUME he could have done this, you also ASSUME he should have done this. I assume you have been attacking the President over this issue since before he took office.

Understanding the total chaos the 8 eight Vacuum left in our intelligence agencies and defense capabilities might help you understand that this issue is way down the list of priority projects. Unlike the RATS, I do not support symbolism over substance which elevating the importance of this bill would be. What is truly important is that it will be passed now that RAT control has diminished. But they still have tricks up their sleeves.

Apparently you also need to understand that the RATS in the committees in the Senate would have never allowed this to come out of committee within the first 100 days either.
