why is the GOP media insisting that because

[justsam]

** was in office just 7 months, is the reason he didn't have time to get a security plan together... when a person gets "elected" president-put in office by his dads judges, Isn't it a reason to put him out of office if he doesn't have a security plan when he takes the oath?? How can people support a man that still don't have a clue about our enemies after 7 months?

[girl gone mad]

1. It's garbage..

and Condi proved as much in her testimony today when she said they had only been in office 233 ddays, not enough time, yet they were able to put a plan in place "immediately" after 9/11.

2. Seems to me Mr Lincoln made more than security plans. . .

under far more pressing conditions in much less time.

3. Clueless trainees shouldn't ...

... be allowed to take a month long vacation after only six months. Especially if they are not up to the job in the first place.

[AnnitaR]

4. Didn't have enough time?

Well the fucker had 54 days to take off for vacation!

So damn sick of those asses whining that they only had 233 days!

Maybe if they had all gave up their month long vacations it would have helped!

5. even if they had "just 7 mos."

They had all of the Clinton Admin. info and intell. right there in front of them. Basically, they gave them the instructions, but the Bushes were too preoccupied to put the thing together.

6. i guess america has its collective pants down 25% of the time

their argument is that incoming presidents should have a year or so to get their act together, so presumably america is vulnerable to attack during any president's first year. this is 100% idiotic.

other than instictive defensiveness and excuse-making, the only reason to make such a stupid argument is if you're trying to say it's too dangerous to ever have a different president.

wait a minute ....

7. Because they would prefer to talk about 8 months being

insufficient time to form a plan (well, have a meeting on Clarke's plan from the Clinton admin) as opposed to their total failure to respond to the unprecedented intel chatter in the summer of 2001.

8. You can't allow the US to be embarrased by the Chinese

form a covert Energy policy that details how we'll invade Iraq, find a way to save Kenny Boy's ass, convince the country to go ahead with a worthless missile defense plan, AND have a security plan to fight terra.

You guys don't understand. He's a good Christian man. Leave him alone. Respect the President. You're aiding the enemy.

[Cat Atomic]

9. I don't see how that's supposed to help Bush's case anyway.

Someone gave me that "8 years vs. 8 months" line the other day, and I asked him why he thought that was supposed to make Bush look better.

They're basically saying that Clinton managed to get through 8 years without any massive international terrorist attacks inside the US, while Bush was so bad that he couldn't go more than 8 months without a catastrophe.

[Nobody]

10. It was really 6 months

Remember the month long vacation he took in August?

[kentuck]

11. It's now been 3 years and 3 months and he still doesn't have a clue...

But he's gonna kick ass and take names because he has the young men and women of the US military to back up his bluster...

[The Backlash Cometh]

12. If he was there for ONLY 7 months, then he didn't need a 1 month long

vacation. You can't play it both ways.
