[QUOTE="Dale Carter, post: 545595, member: 59785"] Nobleman - I will only clarify one of the statements. HW Bush did not take Saddam out the first time around because he had promised the world that his intent was to liberate Kuwait, not take out Saddam. That was akey point to the coalition that he built in the Arab world. Agree with his policies or not, HW was a man of his word and so is W. I am certain that he would not have cried any tears if a stray bullet had caught old Saddam, though. He promised the world, so we didn't march to Baghdad. Period. OK two - Landmark educational reforms. Worked with Sen Kennedy (BIG mistake) to pass No Child Left Behind and increase Federal education funding by 43%. NCLB has resulted in improved scores for younger at-risk students which narrowed the gap between the worst and best students, while graduating students have shown no significant narrowing (they are to old to have been targeted by NCLB). R Shek - I am with you on this, but President Clinton didn't push for Kyoto and the Senate voted it down with 99 votes. President Clinton did his usual bit, said nice words about Kyoto when it's supporters were around, but never once asked Congress to ratify the treaty. Typical triangulation theory. Even Dean says it should be renogtiated to include the exempted economys of China and India (plus a few other, I think). Kyoto would require us to reduce our greenhouse emissions below the level in 1990. Imagine how much we would have to restrict our economy, even with new technology. Andy - you are correct we are not in a recession. The last one began in the last two quarters of the Clinton administration. Despite 9-11, President Bush's policies helped pull us out. I say helped, because very few Pesidents impact our economy (Carter and Reagan) and don't have a lot of power over our economy. [/QUOTE]
