Guess poohbah's weekend started. I was hoping he'd let us know how jr. Increasing and Extending these programs is O.K. now, but was a waste when Slick was pres. Here's a ref. ---

A good example is the billions o' bucks we gave the Soviets to dismantle some of their nukes, why not just let them die on their own of "untendeditis"?

What, that program Bubba the Hutt sponsored, that sent a gazillion dollars into various Russian notables' Swiss bank accounts? The one that didn't result in a single nuke being verifiably disarmed? The one that Bubba insisted be kept going despite the evidence it didn't do a damn thing for us? The one that some eager beavers at DIA found out was actually paying for maintenance on the warheads in question, PREVENTING them from dying of untendeditis? THAT program? A weak reed to base your argument on, good sir.

It was a stupid idea then, it's still a stupid idea now. The money is going to wander all over Russia before miraculously turning up in a Mafiya biggie's bank account.

I don't agree with EVERYTHING Dubya does, but on the whole he's doing a far better job than Clinton ever did. This is one of the things I disagree with.
