It is the Richard Clarke criticism. Joel Send a noteboard - 30/08/2012 01:08:39 PM
The stock crash after a federal government that knew Al Qaeda agents were in the US, learning to fly jets and targeting the WTC (again) could not connect the LINE, much less dots. Inconsequential to the lives of Americans? Really?

That reflects badly on Bush somehow? Really?

We knew Al Qaeda agents were in the US learning to fly jets and targeting the WTC but somehow failed to stop the worst ever terrorist attack in the US. Creating a new cabinet agency to centralize intelligence gathering and analysis (even though that is the NSAs stated raison d'etre) implicitly conceded that screw up was huge.

I encourage anyone planning on voting in the US elections this November to watch both conventions. Tom - 27/08/2012 11:38:31 PM 1009 Views

You're not properly using a "Re:" tag if you are changing the subject line. *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:13 AM 276 Views
It is convenient though, and concise. Joel - 28/08/2012 02:10:52 AM 746 Views
I had to do it to fit the 100 character limit *NM* Praziquantel - 28/08/2012 03:58:32 AM 334 Views
Unless you're Roh. *NM* Legolas - 28/08/2012 09:56:01 PM 315 Views
I'm not sure why the rules of the English language wouldn't apply to her in particular. *NM* Tom - 29/08/2012 02:05:39 AM 319 Views
Because I miss her posts, I guess. Legolas - 29/08/2012 09:20:23 PM 595 Views
One can't say "regarding" unless one has referred to something first. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:00:16 PM 559 Views
God already decided the GOP convention should be cut short. No arguing with deities. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 12:03:30 AM 369 Views
Would you still say that if Obama were struck by lightning? *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:40 AM 242 Views
Assuming he survived, I'd probably make the same joke, yes. TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 01:28:44 AM 599 Views
No, no, they "prayed away the spray." Joel - 28/08/2012 02:09:02 AM 604 Views
I may need to see if there is an online stream. Joel - 28/08/2012 12:34:07 AM 692 Views
The party platform is generally stated, though. Tom - 28/08/2012 12:44:04 AM 579 Views
Yes, but past conventions also decided it; now it is just reiterated and marketed (or downplayed.) Joel - 28/08/2012 01:54:08 AM 693 Views

Glad to see you joining the Republican fold! *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 01:23:55 PM 294 Views

Well, yeah; most of us are, but which one...? Joel - 29/08/2012 11:24:09 PM 637 Views
What else do we need to know? Obama was a disaster for 4 years, everything got worse..... Anonymous2000 - 28/08/2012 04:57:21 AM 625 Views
You are right. The Green Party is clearly the sensible choice. *NM* Stephen - 28/08/2012 08:10:26 PM 326 Views
Who??? *NM* everynametaken - 29/08/2012 05:02:27 AM 336 Views
I may have been joking when I said that. *NM* Stephen - 29/08/2012 10:47:27 AM 370 Views
*NM* everynametaken - 30/08/2012 05:43:10 AM 343 Views
The incumbent administration being deemed a 4-year disaster didn't help Kerry defeat Bush. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:03 PM 339 Views
But that was all in foreign policy. The economy was doing pretty well back then. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:13 AM 631 Views
+1 - the ecomony in 2004 was kicking butt and lead to GWB's reelection, *NM* Anonymous2000 - 29/08/2012 05:05:12 AM 339 Views
Only by comparison to the rest of Bushs presidency. Joel - 29/08/2012 09:53:20 AM 688 Views
You're actually blaming Bush for 9/11 now? Isaac - 30/08/2012 04:22:05 AM 609 Views
It is the Richard Clarke criticism. Joel - 30/08/2012 01:08:39 PM 670 Views
He also blames Bush for a Clinton dot-com bubble bursting. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:04:38 PM 568 Views
Question: Joel - 30/08/2012 11:04:35 PM 738 Views
You are so delusional it is a waste of time to discuss the matter further. Tom - 30/08/2012 11:12:42 PM 561 Views
Those sophisticated pets.com investors were driving the Dow at some point? Joel - 30/08/2012 11:32:11 PM 714 Views

I think you're trying to get me to vote "neither." nossy - 28/08/2012 03:08:07 PM 690 Views
"None of the Above!" ~ Monty Brewster *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:33 PM 337 Views
Ideally, I'm trying to just get as many people as possible to not vote Obama. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:57 AM 544 Views
Conventions won't do that. nossy - 29/08/2012 07:56:22 PM 588 Views
See, you're not taking it far enough. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 04:03:40 AM 647 Views
Fox News (!) on Ryan's speech last night. ironclad - 30/08/2012 09:09:43 AM 651 Views
Fox News or a token liberal at Fox News? snoopcester - 30/08/2012 09:23:22 AM 772 Views
While I expect it's the latter, I can't help but hope the media will call the RNC out on their lies. Ghavrel - 30/08/2012 11:00:20 AM 648 Views
They are doing so, but it does not matter. Joel - 30/08/2012 03:26:47 PM 827 Views
Part of the problem is that trust in media is an all time low and the earned that random thoughts - 30/08/2012 04:49:23 PM 679 Views
Much of it is Reagans old PR man creating Fox News to falsely convince people media is untrustworthy Joel - 30/08/2012 07:35:19 PM 737 Views
Lies is a strong word. If the RNC lies, Obama is postively burning through his pants wardrobe. Tom - 30/08/2012 10:04:39 PM 604 Views
The cancer thing was absurd, yes. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2012 12:45:33 AM 278 Views
I am confused about so many things concerning this election. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 03:53:35 AM 604 Views
