Thank you, Timber - I was about to say the same thing. It seems to me the debate got derailed.

To be honest - I agree with what Jim Jeffords said. Regardless of who it comes from or why - the truth is the truth. It seems to me that this administration got sidetracked from what the important issues were to what was urgent. All fine and dandy, but everything on the plate needs to be addressed.

It takes a very strong man to make decisions that aren't popular for the future well being of this country instead of just answering the phone (addressing what is in front of him at the moment.)

I would like to see the economy fixed - more than most - and I know it isn't going to be a quickie, either. Without that, there is no funding for the education. I look at what the kids are learning in schools and it is frightening how little they know. I compare to what I did in school (1970 to 1982) and I am really alarmed at how unprepared we are to deal with our future. They don't know a whole lot - but they do know computers. (My mother used to tell me it isn't what you know that is important, it is if you know where to find the information.)

I think Saddam has waited 10 years already - what is the rush?
