Well of course, because Bush is Republican. I am sure that if he was a Dem, the Dems would love him... They are just pissed because their man lost...

The deomocratic animal is a donkey, and the cuss word for donkey is jackass, so all democrates are jackasses there's no argueing with that logic Clinton would go out with other women, and gore would pick his nose in frustration! i'd prefer someone who uses women or his nose when frustrated than someone who kills other countries... |

No...please say nothing else...ever. While all you can do is refer to a man having sex:
Bush has a record of negative job growth and stagnant incomes with long-term unemployment at its highest levels in 20 years and manufacturing jobs at a 50-year low
under President Bush's leadership, three million more Americans slipped into poverty and 4 million more have lost their health insurance, while families face the biggest college tuition increase in history.
We've gone from record surpluses to record deficits. He is the first president to lose jobs since Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression...you have heard of it, yes?
Bush took a method and tried it. It failed. But he refuses to admit it, and his only answer to failure is more of the same. He tried tax giveaways for the wealthy, and the budget went into deficit, and the country lost jobs. So he tried it again, and the budget went deeper into deficit
He tried it a third time and the country went into record deficit and all those wasted billions still haven't brought back the jobs America lost over the last three years. Now his major proposal is tax cuts that won't even take effect until seven years from now...
Do your homework. If you don't have anything intelligent. to say, then shut the hell up.

Guess we'll never know about Al, will we?
Thanks Jeb.
Would things be any different had Gore been President?
If you read Time Magazine you'd know that in their article, "They Had A Plan"
I'll sum it up for you:
After the bombing of the USS Cole the Clinton Administration had drawn up a comprehensive plan for fighting Al-Qaeda. But they didn’t want to execute it with a new President taking office in a few months, so they briefed Bush’s team at the highest levels and told them how important it was that they carry it out. And then Bush did nothing.
Here are the relevant quotes:
[Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy] Berger told [his successor, Bush’s Condoleezza Rice],
The terrorism briefing was delivered by Richard Clarke, who had served in the first Bush Administration and risen to become the White House’s point man on terrorism.
[He was] chair of the interagency Counter-Terrorism Security Group (CSG) Since the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole he had been working on an aggressive plan to take the fight to al-Qaeda. Berger and the principals decided to shelve the plan and let the next Administration take it up. With less than a month left in office, they did not think it appropriate to launch a major initiative against Osama bin Laden.
Now it was up to Rice’s team to consider what Clarke had put together.
Clarke’s proposals called for the “breakup” of al-Qaeda cells and the arrest of their personnel. The financial support for its terrorist activities would be systematically attacked, its assets frozen, its funding from fake charities stopped. Nations where al-Qaeda was causing trouble — Uzbekistan, the Philippines, Yemen — would be given aid to fight the terrorists.
Most important, Clarke wanted to see a dramatic increase in covert action in Afghanistan to “eliminate the sanctuary” where al-Qaeda had its terrorist training camps and bin Laden was being protected by the radical Islamic Taliban regime. In the words of a senior Bush Administration official, the proposals amounted to “everything we’ve done since 9/11.”
An aggressive campaign to degrade the terrorist network worldwide — to shut down the conveyor belt of recruits coming out of the Afghan camps, to attack the financial and logistical support on which the hijackers depended — just might have rendered it incapable of carrying out the Sept. 11 attacks. Perhaps some of those who had to approve the operation might have been killed, or the money trail to Florida disrupted. We will never know, because we never tried. This is the secret history of that failure.
This isn’t some low-level employee talking after-the-fact. This is a comprehensive plan at the highest levels of government, with the greatest stress, simply not carried out.
So what was Bush doing instead of cracking down on terrorism? Well, we now know he was busy planning to invade Iraq.

Just because they were planning to go against Al Quaida doesn't mean they were going to go through with it. Remember no more taxes with George Bush? Andrew Jackson vowing he'd only run for one term? Bay of Pigs? Or maybe only Republicans change plans.
And I'm so sick of this not-really-the-president-because-he-didn't-win-the-popular-vote thing. Did anyone say that John Quincy Adams wasn't really president? Or that it was only nepitism that got him the job?
