The other day on one of the news channels (can't remember which one) they were reviewing some of the new Nixon tapes released. Yeah, he was completely nuts -- literally. Someone on the show actually said that they couldn't understand how someone that crazy actually made it to become president. My first thought was *and how did Bush get there?* ROFL. I can't wait for all the Bush crap to start coming out. From what I understand now he's trying to rewrite history. In one exit interview he actually said if it weren't for bad intelligence (referring to WMDs) he would have never gone into Iraq. And that completely contradicts earlier interviews where he said he would have gone in anyway. What a dork.

First off, weren't there tapes by OBL after 9/11
I thought that's how they knew who it was. I guess I recall the events surrounding 9/11 a little differently. Second off, I agree there's a good possibility he's already dead, but even so, let's be certain. Also, he's surely designated followers to carry out any other plans he had, so dead or not, we need to keep searching and hopefully take down as many of his right-hand men as possible along the way. Finally, OBL is already on the FBI Most Wanted list for murder for the 1998 bombings and as suspect in many others.

It was Nixon
That speaks for itself.
what does nixon have to do with this?
There is no going there...you're gone. lol.
You mean owning up?.....like Nixon?
Let's see your statistics. I'm assuming you've done a lot of research to support these claims.
As stated below, my guess is the wrong-doers are about 50 percent Republican and 50 percent Democrat. The only thing I can see that is particularly ironic or shameful is that the Republican party generallly portrays itself as the superiorly moral, family-oriented party.
Yeah, Nixon is gone but, (sm)
I found a lot of the tapes rather interesting. He used extremely foul language consistently, was paranoid as I don't know what all (in particular with the press), and actually notes at one point that pushing republicans father to the right and dividing the country would benefit the republican party for elections. I think you can learn a lot by going back and reviewing this stuff.
As far as Bush goes, he's still up for a good bashing every now and then. He may be a lame duck, but he's still passing legislation, which can hopefully be reversed. He has also put together a team (including Rove) to come up with a strategy for how he will be *presented* as a past president. These are government employees on this committee, so guess who's paying for Bush's new reputation?
Yes, dear, Mr. Nixon did own up AND RESIGNED....
All I posted was the truth about the two accusations you made regarding Bush and Reagan...not at ALL the same thing as the handsy Mr. Clinton. I already did the statistics on that and blew your comparison out of the water. I stated in a response to Lurker that there are bad folks on both sides, of course. You mentioned one, Nixon...who DID own up when he got caught and RESIGNED because it was best for the country. Did not see Mr. Clinton resigning after it was proven he committed a felony while a sitting President. That is what I am talking about. No accountability. And his party supported him and spun it that he was only lying about sex so somehow that excused committing a felony. I rest my case. Congressman Jefferson is still serving and was even considered by the sitting speaker of the house for a committee head appointment. Teddy Kennedy is still serving. That is what I am saying...both sides have done wrong, of course, but I only see accountability on one side. Clinton is a morally bankrupt individual which has nothing to do with his politics...but his politics enabled him. Republicans are more likely to call a wrong a wrong and hold their own members accountable, which the Democratic party does not seem to be willing to do. That should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention to politics over the years.
Oh, I remember the Nixon administration
I think our woes go way farther back than just Bush. The politicians seem to just get worse and worse with each administration. I think in order to fix our government we might all do well to look back at previous administrations and evalulate their performance. I don't remember the Great Depression but I do remember that my parents and people I knew from their generation swore FDR saved the country.
Yeah!! Tin Soldiers and Nixon coming...
Got to get down to it - get rid of the current regime!!!!
Nixon = Carter; Bush = Obama
It looks as though both of these democrats were handed a huge bag of flaming s*it that they were/are expected to clean up in a nanosecond. No, I'm not a democrat, either. But I am fed up with the label "liberal" being used like an expletive. Liberal means "free thinking," and I am honored to be a liberal. I don't need to walk in lockstep so others can do my thinking for me. I want our country to prosper and survive and I'm placing my trust in Obama's hands. I pray he succeeds.
