>>>Gore, at least, could think.> Do you have proof of this?<<< Let's look at this in this manner: We don't really know about Gore. However he was a vice president in an administration that oversaw both peace and economic posterity. Steve, are you better off today with Bush as president than you were when Gore was vice president? Given the foreign policy fiasco we've seen from the Bush Administration, even a fence-sitter who'd might support him has to think otherwise. And of fence-sitters, I'm convinced with Bush's poll numbers in a surge decline, the GOPwinger braintrust concocted the notion that Powell's speech could sound a turnaround. Thus, we saw Powell give a reasonably good delivery presentation aimed entirely at the American public which required only an image of something; and not to the UN Security Council which required the facts of something. Next day we saw Bush and Powell together at a press conference, this to enable Bush to take some of the credit Powell created. Next day after that we went into an elevated Terrorist Alert (which we now know was based on fabrictated and over-amplified information). All of this served to turn Bush's poll numbers around and draw in more fence-sitters to support his policy. Do you know who Hills and Knowlton are? PS: Bush would have been in great shape, warwise, with the American people had he gotten what he thought he was going to get from the UN Inspection Report. Much to Bush's, and his strategists, chagrin the report didn't favor war hooping and some of the wind has been taken from Bush's war sails.
