The only major mistake the Bush administration made was in not cleaning out the FBI/CIA mess Bill Clinton concocted while he was in office. Remember when Bubba first took office, he fired everybody in the Justice Dept. and replaced them with his own people. That was the beginning of the mess we are still trying to clean up. BTW, how many of the terrorists came in through the Long Beach port that Clinton and the Demos gave to the Chinese????

"BTW, how many of the terrorists came in through the Long Beach port that Clinton and the Demos gave to the Chinese????"

That didn't happen. I was on the front lines in 1998 along with hundreds of others, including Sen. Inhofe, and Long Beach Naval Station was NOT turned over to COSCO control. They do have a presence there since we trade with China, but they don't control the port.

I agree that Bush didn't move fast enough once he took office. I believe #43 may have his fathers tendency to "bi-partisan" too much. I don't (I hope) think #43 has this fault as much as #41 did. However it is still some worry. GW stood firm on Ashcroft, much to #43's credit.

However, we have a Democrat for Transport Secretary and Jane Garvey (also dem) as Administrator of the FAA. Garvey is NOT a pilot but an attorney. Would the American Bar Assn. choose an airline pilot for its president just because one is a "Good Administrator"? I think not!

As for the entry of A-rabs through California's Chinese Port, I haven't seen anything yet and I don't expect to read it in the Left Angeles Times.
