Chuckling, the president said he could not imagine being an elected member of Congress and saying, "Vote for me and, oh, on matters of national security, I think I'm going to want somebody else to act."
Oh, Tommy Boy, the heat is just starting to get turned up.
Yesterday, Bush "checkmated" the UN
Today, he is putting the final few moves in play to complete the checkmate of Daschle, Byrd, and Gephardt (talk about a trifecta!)....
He now has TWO huge rounds of ammo to use against them:
1) Their 1998 "gung ho, let's finally take care of Hussein" vs. the 2002 flip-flop, and
2) They ASKED for this debate, and NOW they don't want to do it, all for purely political motives, with NO regards to civilian life and national security.
All those pro-"Gore-is(oops, WAS)-the-smarter-candidate" really are learning the lessons the hard way.
Give me a choice between someone with a business background, and someone from a all-political background, and the businessman will win everytime - they know how to make the tough calls, not just try to placate everyone...
