YOU be the President and choose: 8/6/01
You get a daily briefing telling you something VERY big is coming, most likely overseas. That Bin Laden is about to strike the US.

Do you:

A) Go on vacation for a month

or

B) Perhaps delay the vacation and deal with the urgent threat. Call the heads of the CIA, FBI and NSA together and battleplan for this attack.


Tough choice, huh?

:eyes:

1. I'll choose "Allow the attacks and use vacation as cover for $500, Alex"
:evilgrin:

5. Daily Double!
Seriously, I think it's probably one of the most serious signs of poor judgement that the President continued on vacation for an ENTIRE month instead of at least cutting it sort or going back to DC to "shake the tree" at least ONCE.

A FAILURE of leadership.

2. But what does my Vice President say I should do???
:shrug:

And what choice will allow my campaign advisor to exploit future events in a ridiculous and insulting 30 second campaign advertisement?

hmmm. This is a tough one.

3. A better question would be
If Bush addressed the nation and said we have a serious problem and we need to invade Afghanistan and round up middle eastern people, would you have supported it?

4. So many photo-ops, so little time.
Hell, Dick's in charge of that part of the job anyway.
