<<...Cheney is our here-and-now VP and has much more up-to-date information than an advisor from a decade ago. Scowcroft might be living in the past, on his own hopes and wishes...>> Scowcroft is still a senior foreign policy advisor to Bush and has access to a lot of classified information...I think he is a wise man and many in Congress trust his judgement. Here's another perspective to consider... Where’s Colin Powell when we need him? An attack on Iraq should be last resort By Chris Matthews MSNBC Columnist WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 — The American people are not wholeheartedly committed to a U.S. invasion of Iraq. Cheney’s staff is. Rumsfeld’s deputies are. The White House’s speechwriting office is. The guys they’re working under are. But what about the families of those who will do the actual fighting? What about the country that will have to suffer the casualties and bitterness that are the wreckage of every war? msnbc.com

Cheney is our here-and-now VP S II, I think you have the right mind set. It seems that half of the country wants Bush and company to fail. If you read other threads, the thinking and comments follow the us verses them--Bush vs Gore. I went on record, long before the elections took place that there wasn't a great deal of difference between the two candidates (they both had their own distinct weaknesses). What caused me to vote for Bush (and I still believe it to be true), was the group of folks that he picked. I would welcome opinions of what our country would be going through with a Gore led executive branch, and more particularly, who would be running the show as Gore and Lieberman aren't the best of buds, right now. One thing for certain: with the amount of costume changes Gore is capable of, the rest of the world would be kept on their toes all of the time. With Bush, there's no question. ;-)
