Perhaps the President and Vice President have
classified information they don't want on the
record. I can think of several things that if revealed
would compromise our intelligence gathering
capabilities.

Keep in mind, President Clinton has not be critical
of President Bush. Perhaps Clinton is aware of these
same factors.

It might seem like it, but it isn't or at least if it is, the
sour grapes are factual.

In fairness, we should consider the facts presented by Bush & Cheney
before drawing a conclusion.

Oh, wait. They reluctantly agreed to meet with the 9/11 Commission
only if they could appear together, not under oath, in private with no
transcript or record of what they said. Now that inspires confidence.

Please do not presume to compliment Clinton. You
are not qualified. Bush/Chumpy are terrified to testify
under oath...

Clinton may not be "critical" of President Bush, but there are areas of
disagreement.

Considering your opinion of Clinton, that should be a strike against Bush.

Anyway, you're back in the area of "maybes" and "possibles" and "we
don't know." When committing the nation to a major war, and killing tens
of thousands of people including 1,000 American servicemen & women
killed and over 10,000 maimed, I don't consider "maybe" to be good
enough. I am rather surprised that you do.

Are Bush & Cheney keeping a BIG secret that would endanger the nation?
IMHO it's likely that their big secret is that they are afraid they
don't stand a chance of getting reelected if they admit the truth.

I can gurantee that many intelligence assets in
available to the presidents through the National
Command Authorities will never be revealed to
the public for the reason I mentioned. Because
it would compromise the source and render it
less effective in the future.

There is no maybe in this, except in your mind.
Just because I offered it as a suggestion doesn't
make it less valid.

That is simply untrue. In a TV interview, Clinton did a tongue-in-cheek
display of sympathy for Bush saying things like "I feel his pain (laughter).
I know how bad you can feel when your mistakes get fellow Americans killed."
But when asked if he could ever vote for Bush he replied "NO! He has ruined
the American Economy! .... etc"
