To raise taxes IS A HARD CHOICE. Not for a liberal. That's what liberals do, that is their "claim to fame", and it is what everyone expects when they elect one. WHICH PRESIDENT MADE THE HARDER CHOICES I don't think any sensible person would argue that Clinton made any choices as difficult as some of those Bush has made. I really don't want to rehash this. You hate Bush. I hate Clinton. So, there, we're even. You and Ted don't deal with reality, so what's the point.

<font color=orange> What a big surprise.........not<font color=black> **************************************************** nytimes.com U.S. Abandons Idea of Bigger U.N. Role in Iraq Occupation By STEVEN R. WEISMAN with FELICITY BARRINGER ASHINGTON, Aug. 13 — The Bush administration has abandoned the idea of giving the United Nations more of a role in the occupation of Iraq as sought by France, India and other countries as a condition for their participation in peacekeeping there, administration officials said today. Instead, the officials said, the United States would widen its effort to enlist other countries to assist the occupation forces in Iraq, which are dominated by the 139,000 United States troops there. In addition to American forces in Iraq, there are 21,000 troops representing 18 countries. At present, 11,000 of that number are from Britain. The United States plans to seek larger numbers to help, especially with relief supplies that are coming from another dozen countries.
