by your rationale it would be George Washington's military Ty.

And on intelligence factors, conservatives really ought to keep quiet. It's been widely reported that the incoming Bushies were had little time for the briefings on terrorism, and did nothing for the months leading up to 9/11. After that, they reacted, and who wouldn't? Since then, however, the Administration has trashed the intelligence community. Nothing Clinton did remotely compares.

Are you F. Supplstein?
Oh, Ty's going for 2 concessions in a single day!
Bush did quite a bit for a new President. A detailed plan to oust the Taliban hit Rice's in box 9/10. Remember Bush wasn't President that long before 9/11. What should he have done differently that shouldn't have been done in the 8 prior years? Should he have gathered up all illegals from Mid-East countries. You guys have a problem with that AFTER 9/11, so don't try that.
The only defensible thing you can say re. Clinton and terrorism is that until 9/11 he couldn't have garnered public support for any action. It's bullshit, but at least a defesible argument.
