UNTIL all you have settled it with Clinton... UNTIL you have held him accountable... UNTIL you have stopped the buck at his feet.... You have no right to pile on this President.

I vote, pay taxes, and have the right to pile on anyone I damn well please. "Klinton did it" is an unacceptable excuse with me. I pile on my two sinators(and work for their defeat) all the time, and I talk to my state reps as well. The President works for me. It's no different.

Klinton's gone(and belongs in jail as for Mena and China as far as I'm concerned). Thank God for that. When Bush does something good, I'll be one of the first to support what he did. Bill Pryor for example is an excellent judicial candidate.

When Bush does wrong, I'll say so. I expect a lot out of my president. When his underlines screw up badly, I expect appropiate action to take place.

Exactly what was the screw-up? And what is the appropriate punishment, and for whom?

The British are STILL standing by their intelligence, as Jack Straw said in an article posted here today. They have OTHER evidence of Iraq trying to procure nuclear material.

As near as I can tell, this statement in the speech was correct, and the only reason the CIA feels it should not have been included is because THEY couldn't document it.

This does not seem to me to be anything more than a misunderstanding, and it had NO effect on Congress vote, since they voted the October PRIOR to this State of the Union speech.

So please explain to me what the screw-up actually is, other than a phrase was included in the speech that the CIA couldn't verify.

Change the word "underlings"(Spell check screw up too) to EMPLOYEES.

Dan.

Don't throw good energy after bad. Arguing with agendized moe-moes is a waste of life-force, there's nothing to gain.
