just like Clarke said in his testimony to the 9/11 committee.
But, I say something critical about the Bush Administration and then it gets turned into criticism against the USA. It happens almost every time, I do it and in turn I get attacked. I know you guys are big Bush supporters and I'm not. The fact that there are more than 1 party in America allows people to not have to be aligned with one group.
I'm not part of some evil underground hoping to undermine Bush and good American values! I'm just stating an opposing view. I know because of this I am the enemy, but that doesn't mean my view is BS.

This room is full of Bush supporters? Where exactly are they? I'd say you have more political allies than adversaries in this forum.
Part of some
Evil Underground? Now who's being paranoid? Also, why would you think my post accused you of being critical of the USA? Mark, disagreeing with you doesn't automatically mean someone is saying you're anti-American. I know you don't want anyone to call you anti-American, and you're sensitive to that, but at least wait until someone does it before complaining. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I don't care which side you take regarding the Bush Administration's positions on events and issues. I usually have a pretty good idea on which side you'll fall, but I think your free to do it, just as I'm free to challenge the points you bring up.
The whole point of that post was the fact that the 'golden opportunity' line gets automatically gets added to any laundry list of complaints, and the fact is that it is just fluff.
The only valid use of that line is political.
EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION
