whomod is right. I can't have it both ways.
And, in fact, I didn't ask to have it both ways.
I started this thread making the point that both Clinton and Bush had made mistakes prior to 9/11 and simply noted that it wasn't fair to blame Bush and not ALSO blame Clinton.
How is that having it both ways?
I then questioned whether or not Kerry would repeat the mistakes made by Clinton AND Bush pre-9/11.
Again, how is that having it both ways?
Maybe, if whomod wasn't so hell bent on insulting both the President and his supporters and excusing everyone BUT Bush for what happened he'd realize that.
Of course, then HE wouldn't "be having it both ways," would he?
But anyway, rather than turn this into yet another thread on how whomod is rapidly becoming the annoying boy that nobody wants to play with, let me return to my most salient point.
The mistakes that Clinton and Bush made were pre-9/11. Both look bad in hindsight. However, both men should be excused to some extent since the event hadn't yet happened.
Kerry, however, after 9/11 may want to return to those old flawed policies.
Given what we now know the terrorists are capable of, why in God's name would Kerry want to do that and why, in God's name, would we want a President who feels that way?
