Junior however is supposed to be where the buck stops. Yes, the buck always stops at the top. However, if there is no gross negligence on his part, and there is none in this case IMO, the adage does not apply. He is the one who was froze in his tracks for that long 7 minutes while the towers were ablaze. What would you have him do, immediately fly to NYC in order to man a firehose? He also wasn't frozen as you say; he was thinking about possible courses of action while also demonstrating calm to the American people. His is the administration who told the lies to incite the public and congress into supporting his elective war in Iraq. Intelligence agencies all over the world thought Saddam had WMD's. Also, just because they have not yet been found, does not mean they don't exist. I think Saddam's secret stockpile will be found when he is bargaining for his life after conviction. Also, there were more reasons to liberate Iraq than have been made apparent. He is not the one who you should vote for if you love America. So the people that end up voting for the loser do not love America? Your statement is divisive. The process of democracy is far more important to the long term health of America than ANY single election result. Voter apathy should be the number one priority for all politicians and the citizens they work for. Another thing to remember; if there are 280 million Americans. That means there are at least 320 million opinions of how things should be done, once you allow for schizophrenics and politicians. IC
