Scheduling a speech is one things, changing the content of the speech to make the, uh, appropriate references is quite another. The President isn't doing anything new here. I used to peddle appropriate shyte at City Council meetings when the timing was right.

Those are just a few stories off the top of my head that the Bush Administration might want to draw attention away from.

I'd be interested in where you got that quote, Pan. The part about it I doubt is where he defended Osama. At that point in time, the Kovar Towers and African embassies had been bombed, had they not? And Osama had claimed responsibility, if I recall.

Wagging the dog? Completely. He just happened to need to fire cruise missiles the day Monica went to the grand jury. OK.

And just because Clinton said he missed Osama by 45 minutes does not make it so. I've read that the training camps hit long been deserted. And what he hit in the Sudan was an aspirin factory. You are trying to brag about that?

Osama was an ally against the Soviets in the late 70s/early 80s. We made a huge mistake in abandoning the Afghanis after the Soviets left, and the rest is history.

By drawing attention back to what is supposed to be the Iraqi quagmire?

Desperation can make people do strange things.

I thought the White House was trying to distance themselves from this terror threat; saying that perhaps NYC and Bloomberg(my German is rusty, does him name mean Mountain Spring?) were overreacting to the inteligence. If that's the case it would seem that maybe a certain mayor is trying to grab a little spotlight for himself as his Presidential aspirations seem to grow dimmer in the shadow of a former NYC Mayor.

..but that's just my take on it all.

I hate it when people overeat inteligence.
