Geez, it just goes on and on. I have three major reactions to this tape. My first reaction is that clearly the potential scale of the disaster was understood but no extraordinary precautions or actions appear to have been taken.
This doesn’t really surprise me. Human nature hopes for the best and it takes a true leader to realize he is facing unusual circumstances which call for unusual actions. There were no true leaders in that room. There are no true leaders in this administration. Therefore it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the need for extraordinary action went unrecognized or, if it was recognized, the courage and the will to take the necessary measures were lacking.
My second reaction is, regardless of the failure to recognize the potential seriousness of the situation, this tape presents evidence of lies, lies and then more lies. Again we have evidence of an administration that will lie to cover up its errors and incompetence. At least if they had acknowledged that they dropped the ball here, they could have salvaged some measure of my respect. Instead they continue to demonstrate their distain for the American people by simply lying. I guess they figure we’re too stupid to notice and too easily manipulated to cause any trouble even if we do notice.
My third reaction is MY GOD THAT WAS A SECURE TAPE! And you expect me to believe you can protect the borders and the ports when you can’t even keep a video tape out of the hands of the Associated Press!?!? Are you kidding me? HELP, there are still three more years, somebody, please help, we’ll never make it!
A tape was the downfall of Nixon and compared to Bush, Tricky Dick was a great President. I really don’t want Bush out of the way because that would leave Cheney President. I don’t even want the demise of the Republican Party. What I would like to see is a revival of a true Conservative Republican Party focusing upon true conservative issues rather than the Potemkin Village junk put forward by the Christian Right.
What the hell ever happened to fiscal responsibility and balancing the budget? Now all you’re worried about is what two dudes in the East Village are doing to each other behind closed doors? Come on! Let’s get off the nonsense stuff and get things back under control or future historians will mark the year 2000 as the beginning of the demise of the American Nation.
