		<description>It just proves that Republicans are &lt;strong&gt;living in the past&lt;/strong&gt; and are completely out of touch.

A real leader looks &lt;em&gt;FORWARD&lt;/em&gt;.</description>

		<description>Aug. 6, 2001: Bush gets briefed by a CIA officer about &quot;Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.&quot; and Bush continues vacationing in Crawford for another three weeks, doing nothing to address the right-wing terrorist threat and thwart the 9/11 attack.

Mid-August 2001: A &quot;foreign national&quot; by the name of Moussaoui is arrested in the Midwest by FBI field agents after flight instructors at a flight training school grow suspicious of his only wanting to learn how to fly 747s in the air, not learn how to take off or land one. The FBI&#039;s Midwest field agents make over 70 requests before 9/11 to FBI headquarters in Washington (John Ashcroft in charge) to get permission to search this guy&#039;s personal effects. Top Bush FBI officials refuse each request. Under FISA, the FBI field agents could have legally searched Moussaoui&#039;s personal belongings without a warrant, then gone to the FISA court within 48 hours to get a retroactive warrant. FBI headquarters still didn&#039;t give the agents permission. These desperate, patriotic FBI field agents then tried to get Moussaoui extradited to England so his personal effects could be searched when he went through customs. This was to happen on 9/11. Connections to some of the 9/11 hijackers were later found in Moussaoui&#039;s computer.

First week of September 2001: Condi Rice chairs her ONE and only cabinet-level counterterrorism principal&#039;s meeting before 9/11 (compared to the three per week that counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke held during the Clinton years, at which counterterrorism intelligence was shared between the heads of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies in attendance). Condi Rice&#039;s meeting, she said, dealt with the Bush administration&#039;s overall &quot;Middle East strategy,&quot; not the right-wing religious terrorist threat. Middle East strategy? Who wants to bet that those in attendance only discussed attacking Iraq, ousting Saddam Hussein, and seizing Iraq&#039;s oil fields for western oil companies?

Several years after 9/11, some right-wing-hack film-makers tried to shift the blame for 9/11 happening from the criminally incompetent demagogues in the Bush administration to Bill Clinton&#039;s administration. Some people even fell for this. But all the evidence points to a major intelligence failure by the Bush administration being solely responsible for the 9/11 attacks occurring.

So Sen. Joe Biden&#039;s prescient statement one day before the 9/11 attacks proves to me that Democrats (including President Bill Clinton) took the right-wing religious terrorist threat to our country much more seriously than all the right-wing hacks running our federal government at the time.

Too bad Bush/Cheney/Rove/etal. stole the 2000 presidential election from Al Gore. This Republican thievery led to the theft of the lives of almost 3,000 U.S. citizens on 9/11, because I&#039;m absolutely certain, based on the facts, that a President Al Gore and Democratic Party administration would have taken the right-wing terrorist threat very seriously and probably even stopped most, if not all, the hijackers on 9/11. Just as I am certain that a President Al Gore would have never preemptively invaded another country, Iraq, based on lies and oil company greed...and tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers would either be alive today or not severely injured, while hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children would be alive or not severely injured today, too.

The outright evil of the Bush/Cheney administration(s) has no limit. And they still aren&#039;t through yet.</description>

		<description>Especially for Nader-supporter Marc_scism:

From Websters: &quot;Main Entry: dem·a·gogue  
Variant(s): also dem·a·gog  \?de-m?-?gäg\ 
Function: noun 
Etymology: Greek d?mag?gos, from d?mos people (perhaps akin to Greek daiesthai to divide) + ag?gos leading, from agein to lead — more at tide, agent 
Date: 1648 
1 : a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power&quot;

Quite a few times since the 2000 election in interviews, Ralph Nader has admitted that he didn&#039;t really think there were NO differences between Gore and Bush. What this means, marc_scism, is that Nader turned himself from a consumer rights activist to a DEMAGOGUE in an effort to gain political power. In the process, he helped deliver George Bush to the Whitehouse. 

Do you think we&#039;ve forgotten!?</description>

		<description>So Joe Biden was trying to alert us to the real threat before it ever happened. Hey, you could say the same thing about Al Gore. The Gore Commission suggested reinforced cockpit doors, armed air marshals and strict check-in proceedures long before the 9-11 attack. Republicans rejected the Gore proposals out of hand because the airline industry started screeching that it would hurt profits.

Bottom line: the country is better protected when Democrats are in charge.</description>

		<description>Marc_scism: &quot;Vote Nader, because you will never get progress from Republicrats&quot;


Hey good one, Marc! I heard that one in 2000. We&#039;ve made a LOT of progress since then, wouldn&#039;t you agree? People like you were selling the notion that there were no differences between worst-president-of-all-time George Bush and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore. How&#039;d that work out?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Cirincione writes, “If George Bush had listened to Joe Biden instead of Donald Rumsfeld, the history of the past seven years would have been very different. We might have prevented 9/11.”&lt;/em&gt;

There was no reason for Bush to listen because this has &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; been about national defense.  The Missle &quot;Defense&quot; program wasn&#039;t meant to protect Americans, it was meant to intimidate our rivals.  Bush didn&#039;t give a damn about terrorist threats as evidenced by the fact that he ignored all warnings.  And not only that, after we were attacked, he used that attack to forward more policies of aggression, i.e. the invasion of Iraq.  

This is all so transparently obvious and yet many Americans and most of the journalists and pundits still don&#039;t get it.

		<description>Fred, 
I hope you are right about &#039;Methods &amp; Means&#039;..Let&#039;s wait and see...
They all say many things during election campaign drive,but let&#039;s wait.
Bush said during the 2000 campaign run that he is against &#039;nations building&#039;, but that&#039;s all what he is talking about these days when it comes to Iraq and Afghanstan.</description>

		<description>tarazan Says: 

Probably comes down to methods and means.  bush went after the terrists but missed them completly.....

bush&#039;s only solution to any problem is war by ourselves.  We don&#039;t want input or help from anyone.

Obama and Joe will address the same problems in a different way. 

Why is that not different?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know if there will be any change in foreign policy. Biden said yesterday that he will support Georgia against Russia.
A futile attempt in the backyard of Russia to win a crisis that is deep rooted. 
In Georgia, there are two provinces &#039;Ossetia &amp; Abkhazia&#039; that do not want to be part of Georgia backed up by Superpower Russia. 
Biden visited Georgia recently and came back asking for one billion dollars aid to Georgia.
When president of Georgia sent his army to Ossetia province to reclaim it,he was confronted by stroneger Russian army.  Georgian army lost big time and most of Georgia&#039;s army equipment were destroyed or taken by Russian army.
Almost 90% were lost because of Georgia&#039;s president Saakashvili failed adventure.
Now Biden wants US Taxpayers to rebuild Georgian army.
Another conflict that cannot be won.
Only if Biden listens to what Ossetians and Abkhazians are saying too,and Biden has no intention to do so,and made no attempt to do that in his last visit.
On the Afghanstan front ,Biden wants to escalate the war by sending more troops to Afghjanstan/Pakistani borders, starting another Afghanstan &#039;Surge&#039;.!!
On the Arab Israeli front...he said that he is a &#039;Zionist&#039;,and his daughter is married to a Jew. 
He will blindly support Israel,right or wrong...
So where is the change in foreign policy here...? !!</description>

		<description>And the Bush administration continues to get it wrong. Just yesterday Russia test fired a new class of missile that has the aim of avoiding detection by the type of missile defense shield Bush has poured 10&#039;s of billions into, including a new agreement with Poland.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/28/AR2008082800948.html

Now who would of thought those clever Russians would be working on stealth technology to counter our soon to be worthless missile defense shield.

Let&#039;s see how Obama and McCain react to this latest development. Will McSame have more than bombast to say in response? Don&#039;t count on it.</description>

		<description>Something that should be pointed out more often.
&quot;...the PNAC blueprint of September 2000 states that the process of transforming the US into &quot;tomorrow&#039;s dominant force&quot; is likely to be a long one in the absence of &quot;some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor&quot;. The 9/11 attacks allowed the US to press the &quot;go&quot; button for a strategy in accordance with the PNAC agenda which it would otherwise have been politically impossible to implement.&quot;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Sven Ortmann Says: 
His countermeasure might have been radiological sensors, which wouldn’t have prevented 9/11.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


At least he was paying attention....that alone would have improved his odds of stopping 9/11.  bush...not so much as we already know.



&lt;blockquote&gt;00mpp00 Says:
Biden is the wrong choice. He’s pro-war, mainstream Washington &lt;/blockquote&gt;

No one is more pro-war than those in power right now.  Joe cannot even be compared to them because the differences are vast.

Joe will fight in our defense but he won&#039;t invade another country for profit as bush has done.</description>
