Your definition of campaign trail must mean something completely different than mine.

Perhaps. But, that really has no bearing on my criticisms of the president's policies.

You are a LP and vote LP why do care even if he campaigns or not.

The fact that he campaigns isn't the problem. Go back and read my original post (#8).

What my being Libertarian has to do with anything is relevant how? Does being a Libertarian mean I'm not entitled to an opinion?

I hear this report and I'm in pain. An NBC new report said that when the CIA finally decided to let the FBI in on this info (3 weeks before 9-11) they are looking for these guy in hotel rooms and the like. One of them had his name in a public phone directory, but the investigative resources of the FBICIA could not discover this.

This is a key point that a lot of people have overlooked, and you, wisely, have pointed out.

To this very day you can see the odd news clipping about how "Bush Really Won Florida", or "Bush Really Lost Florida", depending on the particular fishwrap you are reading.

And many (not you) forget how Bush's hands WERE UTTERLY TIED, NAY, MANACLED, for the first two to three months of his administration, as a direct result of Democrat election-cheating, then Democrat disinformation, in their futile attempt to steal the presidency.

Who knows if Bush had not just been left alone to field his team (including Ashcroft) if the cleansing process of the FBI and CIA would have been far enough along to pick up these guys before they murdered our people?

Remember, FBI and CIA agents like Hansen and Ames, are smart enough to avoid detection for years. They are the tip of a huge iceberg.

To me, that says, that there are tons and tons of Al-Quaeda and OPEC and Palestinian moles in both agencies, not to mention Chinese, Russian, whatever, and elsewhere in the Federal Government, hiding behind the cloak of EEOC/Affirmative Action/'He's a minority, leave him alone'; in other words, the mantle of Clintonism.

They act, and plan, with impunity.

And the superiors who squashed the investigations were probably on the take.

Both agencies need to be abolished, and start afresh, with new young screened people.

"What's up with that?"

The second link about the visa, old news. The INS is now being re-worked and split in two for crap like that.

The First link about the military training, should be the lead story in the National Enquirer, next to "Baby with 3 Heads". There's no way this wouldn't be known if true. This 'blame it on the military' story was by Newsweek, a left leaning publication, 4 days after the bombing when Americans might have believed any crap they threw at us to stop Bush's momentum.

So what's the alternative, that all the left leaning publications are ignoring this story because Bush's people said to? What are the odds when that kind of cover-up would send Bush's popularity down to pre-war levels?

Why Bush? This would have been policy initiated by Bill Clinton. Ask yourself in the 90s Clinton helped with force of arms what people and where?

Read the Conservative Accuracy In Media report called BIN LADEN GATE.

Because Bush was president from the time the article was published up until now. That means that he and ONLY he would be responsible for any cover-up, not Clinton. Not a snowball's chance in hell our press would cooperate with him in a cover up like that.

Re the link… You're developing a pattern. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

Your reading more into this than I ever claimed. Where did I say a cover up occured? From the Newsweek article it seems that a cover up is anything but going on. No need to knee jerk for Bush.

PS: Damn right I am developing a pattern. Those links all point in a direction that explains it all.

Dude, the post that you say mentioned nothing about a cover-up was mostly a follow-up reply to #88 in which I even used the word cover-up. I'm trying to keep you focused. Suppressing this since the Newsweek 'reveled it' would be a cover-up. So with our press, it's impossible for this story to be true. I don’t want to go all over the map with you, dredging up revelations that are old news to most people here. That's the pattern I spoke of, two old stories that you posted.

You're relatively new here, at least under this name. Most long time freepers have been through a parade of Clinton crimes and have learned that they won't be investigated. Personally, it's not worth going through them all over again and getting all upset once more.

The Bush administration campaigned on uniting the country, and to our surprise he meant it. Unless the equivalent of a blue dress and an accompanying video shows up, any investigation will be dead-ended. Bush apparently thinks national healing is more important than winning a civil war, and that's what it would take, a civil war.

In other words something Clinton did may be covered up for the sake of the nation by Bush? A sacrifice for the greater good?

More like a lack of will to investigate. The impeachment trial was our one good shot. And Clinton and company demonstrated that they'd fight it to the end. There has never been a case in all the world of a popular head of state resisting but was being taken down by the law. No rule of law has ever been that strong, not without the support of the people. Our senate was too dirty to make it a first. The nation's not going to put up with circus again, not now anyway.
