LOL !! Native American Heritage Month at the Pentagon !! Does NASA realize their Mars spacecraft has made a wrong turn and landed at the Pentagon with a boatload of aliens??

I for one think that Rumsfeld is doing a great job, despite such BS. Comparisons between the last administration's ways and the present have much less to do with the identity of the participants, much more to do with the nature of the times. Everything changed on 9/11/01. With all due respect to our current president, I suspect nearly every American president ever elected would have acted more or less how Bush has, albeit with probably trivial differences in rhetoric and style. The course of action was exceedingly clear IMHO, as was the strenth and direction of the will of the populace. Other courses of action would have been tantamount to political suicide, and I think nearly anybody who has been astute enough to get elected president would be astute enough to realize this. I don't want to get into any kind of discussion about Bush vs. Clinton or anybody else for that matter, because I think it is something of a red herring. My only point is I don't think you can reasonably compare those times with these.

One thing that was very hard for me to understand: why in God's name would Gen. Tommy Franks ever call a lawyer for advice ????

.....jes' wonderin'.......
