You can’t be a Real Country unless you have a BEER and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER.

Hmm, BP lease issued under “Bush” regulations, deregulation, waivers, and staffing. Two wars started by Bush. Financial collapse and frauds- doesn’t ANYBODY on the right remember ENRON???- TARP– all BUSH! The right whines– “stop blaming Bush”! Right, like Katrina, “God” did it all.
More to the point of course is that Obama stated he wanted the input of experts, not press or cartoonists, so he would have real facts, and know who to kick.
He isn’t recruiting “experts” like “W” used to con the Congress and people. Where ARE those silly WMDs???
dtroutma….I must come back for a comment or two ….BUSH is NOT the president! Remember how YOU and your ilk LOVED to lampoon President Bush for NOT getting it, what, 8 months into his presidency? Then VOILA…the TWIN TOWERS came DOWN! But THAT was his fault…right? We on the right were soooo unfair to even suggest that President Clinton fell alseep at the switch! So which is it??? Hold the previous president accountable for the inept showing of the current one OR let him account for the CHANGE…annnnnd the TRANSPARENCY….and business will NOT be ‘AS USUAL!’
WMDs? Simple suggestion for a simpleminded sycophant….talk to the IRANIANS and KURDS…and see if THEY consider GAS ATTACKS asWMDS….!!
^^^and did they find any GAS? Bush is not the president, but like the gift that keeps on giving, we are still suffering from his presidency. and the twin towers? Clinton and Gore were putting together a plan to take out whats-hiz-name, Bush scrapped it. then did nothing…
The impermeable wall preventing the FBI from communicating with the CIA, and vice-versa, was actually erected by the Democrats’ love-fest in the aftermath of the Watergate …
This was but the first step in castrating our intelligence services, which directly resulted in all the major foreign espionage screw-ups, not the least of which was the information about the Iraq’s WMD’s, or lack thereof.

It’s neither!
White House records show the Clinton staff warned the Bush staff on what was going on with terrorist warnings… and they were ignored. After 6 months in office Bush takes a MONTH vacation as well! As for 9/11, Bush & Cheney have never been back to Ground Zero since 2001!
The OSS became the CIA. CONGRESS specifically stated that CIA was only overseas, and FBI domestic jurisdiction. The two agencies have always been jealous, and in his short term as Director, GHW Bush may have made things even worse.
That silly Constitution and the restrictions on “Government interfering with our lives” is WHY the two agencies were separated. Now, in the real world, information sharing IS more important, and direct access is need more readily. So why DID Lieberman and BUSH/CHENEY(who should have known better) create 33 (THIRTY THREE!!) new agencies in creating Homeland Security. How does 33 new agencies and directors AID “communication”???

Did they do this before or after they trashed the White House offices?

What, Dale is full of pooop?
No, no, he and his fellow leftist intellectuals are full of feelings, and that trumps everything, facts to the contrary not withstanding.
