Z, But, they do anyway. Which is one of the main reasons why the real problems may never be solved. The energy of the politicians is diverted toward silly partisan games, rather than coming up with real solutions. Whoever wins the game for this year then becomes the target for next year's game, and the cycle repeats itself. Only a real crisis will break this cycle. 9/11 was the last crisis. What's next, another 9/11? The federal debt? Social Security? (Poor Greenspan, who is being attacked for stating the obvious.) Tenchusatsu

Zo Re...However, I'm not changing my mind. Both Clinton and Bush screwed up, and neither party should blame the other for the failure. Absolutely, so why are the dems so excited about the 9/11 commission, except, they hope GW will somehow be blamed, and their boy Bill will skate. Often times, it is possible to see a connection, in hindsight, which one missed in real time. Even then though, it would be the responsibility of the CIA or FBI, or whomever, rather than the president, to put it all together. But, they do anyway. Partisian politics, usually played by the party out of power, while the in power party, pretends to be above it all.
