Yeah. And if Bush had read the security briefing on August 8th, 2001, 9-11
probably wouldn't have happened.


I'll go a step farther. If Bush had not disengaged from the peace talks
immediately upon assuming office, and had instead kept the feet of the
Israels and the Palestinians to the fire, it is quite possible that
Osama would have shelved his 9-11 attack.

"...vice president (Cheney), I'm surprised to hear him talk about
records. When he was one of 435 members of the United States House, he
was one of 10 to vote against Head Start, one of four to vote against
banning plastic weapons that can pass through metal detectors. He voted
against the Department of Education. He voted against funding for
Meals on Wheels for seniors. He voted against a holiday for Martin
Luther King. He voted against a resolution calling for the release of
Nelson Mandela in South Africa. It's amazing to hear him criticize
either my record or John Kerry's."
