Hi Pat,

Call Clinton any name that you want, but at least he had Richard Clarke 
right at his side advising him about the terrorist threat.  Over a month 
ago I heard Richard Clarke interviewed on NPR and he stated that he sent 44 
memos to Bush the Small warning him of the Al Qaida threat, including the 
August 6, 2001 memo, which any responsible president should have taken as 
good reason to cut short a vacation and return to his post.  Bush asked for 
advise on only one of those memos, and Condi told him that they "had it 
covered."

And remember what Bush was asking about after 9/11: Not "How can we get 
Osama?" but "How soon can we attack Iraq?"  And, Pat, Bush the Small did 
indeed lie in the debate with Kerry when he said that he didn't care about 
Osama.

And then people voted for Bush because of security and values!  All I can 
say is that I'm deeply ashamed of the American electorate and what fools it 
makes us in the eyes of the world.

My prediction: The Shia will win the election and they will set up a 
theocracy with a democratic veneer very similar to the one in Iran.  This 
government will then ask us to leave.  So then what will we have to show for
1250 dead and 10,000 wounded?  Shame, Shame, Shame, and more Shame.

Don't blame me (very blue in a very red state),

Nick Gier
