Clearly something has changed Its not clear that anything relevant to this issue has changed except perhaps the accident rate itself. There really hasn't been time for anything Bush has done to have a major effect on the military's safety record. Perhaps its just a string of bad luck or perhaps Clinton was lucky enough to avoid the results of something he (or someone under him) did in his second term. Of course it is Bush's watch now. If it the current string of accidents where because of something that was done under Clinton it is his responsibility to find and correct it. If it is just a string of bad luck then in theory nothing would need to be done (the accident rate wouldn't stay that high), but practically the issue does have to be addressed in some way if it continues. And of course if you are actually right and something the Bush administration has done then they have to correct it. Personaly I think its mostly just a string of bad luck, but the decline in readiness in Clinton's second term probably didn't help. Tim
