OF COURSE THEY didn't. He was on their side. Its politics. DUH! Occasionally politicians rise above partisan politics to criticize members of their own party, esp about foreign policy. They weren't just silent about it, they back him up because of what they felt was Clinton's diplomatic failings. The only reason they are taking the approach they are using now is because they don't want Bush's utterly massive failings with this fiasco that he wrought upon us to be criticized. To point out that the current criticism is hypocritical using reminders from the past is more than mere mental masturbation because of the seriousness of the mess Bush has put us in. It maybe naive to think it will work, but it is facile to think that this is mere politics. Seamus

Its is indeed a sad testimony of what our representative government has become. Even worse is I don't see anyone on either side that seems interested in changing it.

Asking politicians to use a different definition maybe naive but it is not idiotic. I was going to use the tilting at wind mills line, but I didn't think people would sense the irony. Seamus

But he became "the decider" and lied about the first part! Alex When fascism comes to America, it'll be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. -- Sinclair Lewis
