Bobert, there's a bit of a reality problem with your contention. The Arabs who piloted the planes had the plan during the last two years of the Clinton Administration and spend the last year of his presidentcy, and the first eight months of Bushes, learning to fly the planes. And considering Gore penchant for making himself irrelevant at virtually every opportunity (witness his endorsement of Dean without informing his former running mate, just before Dean blew up on the runway) I still hold we would have been far worse under Gore.

When Patrick Roy of Shepherdstown and 16 others were killed in the Cole attack, Gore and his buddies had their chance. Instead they blew up a baby food factory, and Osama started plotting against the inept Americans...

Off the subject; when are you going to play the Mec again? I didn't get the date last time and missed you.. But you still need to do a Thursday at O'Hurleys...
