An Olive Branch

He explained that the security issues surrounding the president -- and the
untold number of threats against him -- meant that the Secret Service
required that he be kept away from impromptu, unknown crowds as much as
possible.

That's no excuse. Having grown up in the Maryland suburbs of DC, I've
always been "aware" of Presidential security. They were feeding you a
lie. It was a disgusting tactic for a political rally.

Well, now, do I think that a political party is above using a "security
excuse" provided to them by the Secret Service to make sure that they have a
positive event?

Nope.

I'm shocked...SHOCKED, that there are politics going on here!

Mistakes? The current government makes mistakes? Like what? They
have not admitted any, have they?

It was a very different situation then. After the two attacks on Ford,
Reagan in 1981 and the occurances during Clinton's term (the airplane and
the guy with the SKS) they HAVE to be more careful.

They were feeding you a
lie. It was a disgusting tactic for a political rally.

And you're full of ****.

I, for one, will be more than happy to see all this animosity evaporate,
so that we can get back to the fun of talking about flying!

My regret is that we have to be subjected to this crap in the first place.
It is well known that religion and politics get the juices flowing like
nothing else (except perhaps aviation?). If it were up to me, I would
cause off-topic material to be deleted.

snip rest of off-topic post

And yet, you posted this. Ironic, to say the least :-)

Ok, you and I know that, but has Bush said the intelligence regarding
the existence of WMD's was mistaken? Out loud or in print?

After all, we invaded a country and lots of people are dead...

does supporting (under duress) the formation of a bipartisan
commission to look into intelligence failures count?
