Uh, hello. The president got "no specific warnings" either.

[Chi-townChief]

Nicely done.

[JohnHuang2]

Thank you.

[fortress]

Great Post! Well said and we will see the Left self destruct on this issue.
Like they they did in the Netherlands when they demonized Pim Fortuyn and his common sens ideas.
The Truth will always overcome the lies.

[JohnHuang2]

Exactly.

[alloysteel]

Once again, the Democrat party seizes an issue....

And gets absolutely no traction. Or at least for as long as we don't allow them to get traction.

[JohnHuang2]

Thanks, friend.

[JohnHuang2]

Or at least for as long as we don't allow them to get traction.

Precisely.

Excellent article. I hope I'm not the only one who realizes that CBS long ago lost all credibilty and is the absolute worst left wing disgrace. Also, could this have been any more coordinated with the usual Dem suspects? People like Daschle and Gephardt (OPPOSED the Gulf War) do more to harm our national security on any given day than Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice ever will.

[JohnHuang2]

Thanks, my friend.

My sentiments exactly.

JohnHuang2, I always love what you write. Thank you for this and all of your other analysis.

I would like a reporter to ask the Democrats what they would have liked Bush to do with the unspecific warnings. Round up all Arabs at flight school? - No, they would call him racist.

Warn the public there was a chance of highjacking? - That would ruin civial aviation.

Torture the one Arab they caught to get the info? - Again there would be an uproar.

The bottom line, what should have been done?

You're preachin' to the choir! I agree with you totally and it is just one more pathetic example of the spineless and sleazy behavior of Capitol Hill Democrats. As an American in Germany, I found myself yesterday and today defending our wonderful President Bush to my German acquaintances. And the response I would keep getting was in the vein of: "But America's own Democratic Party claims he had advance knowledge." From my vantage point abroad, I find it reprehensible that the Democrats would stoop so low.

[JohnHuang2]

CBS, moreover, refused to touch the Condit scandal.

[fortress]

You know, I can't wait for November. The Left will have a rude awakening.
I have the feeling the electorate is starting to catch on what the Left is doing and always have done.
And the thing what does it, is that the people have learned to trust GW.
It is like they are criticizing your mother: you may not always agree with her, but don't you dare slander her.
It's called loyalty

[JohnHuang2]

Re: #12 - excellent questions.

And thanks for the compliment, btw =^)

[JohnHuang2]

I find it reprehensible that the Democrats would stoop so low.

Reprehensible, yet not surprising...this will backfire on them (if it isn't already).

[JohnHuang2]

isn't=hasn't

This all goes back to the 2000 election in Florida.

These bastids still can't believe the Florida Supreme Court wasn't allowed to hi-jack the election.

The sight of those democrat flunkies counting chads made my blood boil!

Anything they can do against Bush, they will. To hell with the nation.

Wait until after the 2002 elections, it will be smear-time 24/7.

I'm betting on a slew of dem primary candidates in 2004. Each one slinging it at Bush.

[JohnHuang2]

And the thing what does it, is that the people have learned to trust GW.

Good point -- it's precisely why, much to the chagrin of the punditocracy, he continues to benefit from overwhelming and sustained job approval ratings.

This dust-up will do nothing to shake the public's confidence.
