Gore is a consensus man and cannot make the tough decisions on his own.

Perhaps the most telling event during this crisis was Bush's immediate decision that, if necessary, the fourth straying airliner would be shot down. It is difficult to imagine a more difficult decision a president would ever have to make. Yet, Bush made it, within minutes, and made the correct decision. The media has not made enough of this important point.

It is without question that Clinton and Gore would have been unable to reach such a decision in the required time frame, if for no other reason because there was insufficient time to take a poll.

The disclosure that Bush made this critical decision on the recommendation of his staff speaks volumes about the competence of both Bush and his staff.
