That's not change we can believe in.
Of course some of us didn't believe in his kind of "change" in the first place.

Jimmy Carter revisited, only 100 times worse.

"Dubay's screw up"?

Did Dubay allow the CIA to become dangerously ineffective due to neglect, an inadequate budget and 25% attrition rate over eight years?

We were successfully attacked by Al Qaeda five times during the Clinton years with two plots being discovered in time to do something about them. Of the five years Al Qaeda needed to successfully pull off the 9/11 attacks, four of those were Clinton's. Firing missiles into an empty valley in Afghanistan did nothing to put an intelligence presence on the ground where these folks live. It's a screwed up world and not everyone shares our values. GWB did what was needed to correct our intelligence gap.

Now people like you will go right back to the same illusions of universal brotherhood and the basic goodness of man. Then we'll get hit again. It will come from some part of the word where, according to people like you, we have no business being. Maybe this time it will be Algeres were they have been playing around with Bubonic Plague? I know one thing for sure though, we won't be blindsided by Iraq. Get a clue.
