Hilary Clinton to run for President

Wow. Didn't think I'd agree with you on anything in this thread. :D

But yeah, the CIA, FBI, & NSA (among others) should have been working hand in hand all these years to protect us. Unfortunately past presidents didn't see it that way.

I don't agree with everything Louis Freeh did as Director of the FBI, but he was on the right track when he went to Clinton in the mid to late 90s to try and break down the wall of separation between the FBI and CIA. Clinton wouldn't have any of it, unfortunately. I like to think that if he knew then what he knows now he would have listened to Director Freeh.
do you have any idea on why, no one wanted these govt organizations working hand in hand? it seems like that would make alot of sense

I have stopped trying to figure out what these people do. I think the institutional rivalries are just so deep seeded and the political atmosphere in DC is so rancorous and divided that politicians don't even try to do what is right any more. They just do what is easiest. And I guess it was easiest to not do anything. I don't blame Clinton. If he couldn't navigate the political waters to make something liek that happen then no one could. I am pretty disenfrachised about our government in almost every respect.

BOTH parties have become more about their parties interests, and forgetting about what the PEOPLE want. and if the opposite party has an idea, it is the worst idea ever, regardless of how good it is.

Did you know....9 years ago today is when the Monica Lewinsky story first broke? Crazy that it's been that long ago.

Also, breaking news...Steven Spielberg, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts have all said they're throwing their support behind Obama and not Hillary. Considering the success of the candidate they threw their support behind in 2004 I'd say Hill is now a lock

the thing that bothers me about this is, the CIA and the FBI existed for years and years, but never worked together? someone way back when should have handled this. they should be sharing info, and working hand and hand, to better our security
Not sure of the ladies name but in the Clinton administration she made it illegal (not sure if thats the right term) to make sharing info a no no. The reason I remember this is because their was a fuss about her sitting as a member on the 9/11 commission because she would be investigating stuff she did.

We can definitely agree on this. What a mess.

I'll agree with you on this.

Please post any statement where Bush has said there was a conection between Bin Ladan and Iraq.Bush Defends Assertions of Iraq-Al Qaeda Relationship (washingtonpost.com) (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50679-2004Jun17.html)

"The reason I keep insisting that there was a relationship between Iraq and Saddam and al Qaeda: because there was a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda," Bush said after a Cabinet meeting.

he makes a good point. My mom used to use the same "because I said so" arguement with me when i was a kid and it always worked.
