lurq- thanks for the excellent research, reading, reporting and analysis. you make the rest of us here look like grade schoolers -- but we can live with that <g> No, in 2000, I didn’t see the Bush campaign as a “Revenge of the MIC”, but shouldn’t I have? NO! in 2000 you had every right and maybe even a gentlemanly obligation to take candidate bush at his word... and his word was not in alignment with the PNAC, DPG or MIC strategies. his word was that he was a "compassionate conservative", and he basically ran on a platform that was a clone of the democratic platform EXCEPT for the huge tax cut that he bribed voters with. so basically he was saying, "look here - i'll give you everything al gore will give you, PLUS i'll give you a tax rebate." it was only after he took office in 2001 that his actions began to belie his words - he's still using a lot of talk that is absolutely in conflict with his actions and policies - but if you read the PNAC strategy you can see how it aligns perfectly with his policies and actions. thanks lurqer -elpolvo
