"use whatever" - Let's say you're president and I'm one of your trusted lieutenants. You hear about Bin Laden with the first week and tell me, "Gruss, put a team together - use whoever and whatever you need - and define the UBL threat. I want to know if he's a concern or not and why or why not and I want to see data". That would've resulted in a a detailed UBL briefing in the spring. Further you'd ask me to find out how the UBL data was coming in. For example, to define a UBL 'sipoc' that shows who's saying what, why, how, and when. And you also ask me for recommendations and next steps. Another name for that role might be "national security advisor". Too bad we didn't have one of those. Clinton & UBL - when it comes to nat'l security the president owns it on day 1. It's his job to define the threats and protect the nation against them. Bush failed to do that with UBL and we got hit. His fault 100%. That's what we hire him for and he failed. period. If he doesn't want that responsibility he doesn't volunteer. That's what leadership is. Clinton & the economy - you got it. Clinton signed into law the 2 Acts that dismantled Glass Stegal and then enabled the creation of legalized betting with massive leverage. Clinton uses the electricity argument: it's a power for good but Bush let people stick forks into the socket. The truth is Clinton should've never signed the Acts until they included the regulatory mechanisms. But again, economic security is what we hired Bush for and he failed. 100% his fault. Seems that people have forgotten (or don't know?) what a leader is. They make excuses. The worst possible leader, of course, is one who not only fails but fails to accept accountability. Bush is such a leader. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
