I am satisfied that I never saw any intelligence that indicated there was going to be an attack on America Condi should have read him some of the intercepts that she read the 9/11 panel. Things like "Spectatular", "Immense", "Biggest Ever". I guess Bush concluded that Bin Laden was likely to try an slip some stem cells over, because that was all he was worried about on his monthlong vacation. Come on Sherman, lets jump into the wayback machine and revist those days. <font color=brown>Last week was not quiet. Israel escalated the Middle East conflict by seizing Palestinian offices. Home rule in Northern Ireland came unstuck -- and was hastily cobbled back together. More violence erupted in Macedonia. Fifty U.S. and British planes struck Iraq's air-defense network. Meanwhile, the economy spluttered on, as did relations with Russia and China. Any of these could erupt into global crisis. Each, at one time or another, has caused U.S. presidents to speak urgently and directly to the citizenry. Yet the topic of President Bush's first address to the nation last week was none of the above. He spoke of the ethics of stem-cell research. Why? </font> - August 13, 2001 globalethics.org (registration) nytimes.com <font color=green> The relaxed Mr. Bush leaned his arms on the wheel of his golf cart and chatted on about various issues. He said he would make a decision "when I am ready" on whether to allow taxpayer money to pay for embryonic stem cell research. He described the matter as "how life and science should interface." He also said that complaints from Egypt notwithstanding, the United States was still engaged in Mideast developments and viewed achieving peace there as a top priority. Of a letter he wrote today to President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, he said, "I told him that we're still very much engaged in the process, obviously, that we take the violence very seriously." </font> Snore! Snore! Boom! - That's security under Bush. TP
