Thank you...See, there is room here for an intelligent exchange of ideas, and I appreciate your response. For me, there are flaws in both Kerry and Bush's positions, and this is one of the reasons that I wish we would hear more about Iran and Arafat, but of course the general population is not interesed in that. I mean, Israel is moving back to its pre 1967 borders, and we have to have a President who is willing to take a stance that is Pro-Israel, and not just kiss ass during election years because they want the Jewish vote. Both candidates are guilty of this in my opinion. Even with Kerry-polls show him with about 70% of the Jewish vote right now, but if he is elected, will he turn his back on those people? Look who he has around him- people from the Clinton administration who loved Arafat. They had Arafat at the White House back then and kissed his ass. We have to be consistent with Israel!
To answer your question, no Bush did not flip-flop. But neither did he acknowledge that it happened while he was in charge. I actually applaud Bush for accepting the findings of the commission- it was non-partisian and therefore more credible for me. I just wanted some acknowledgement in that 9/11 did happen while Bush was in charge, and as leader, there has to be some accountablility in terms of how this happened, and why it will not happen again. Whether it is from Rumsfeld or Cheney or Rice or Bush himself, if I am to vote for Bush, give me this guarantee. Of course, neither candidate can give that, so for me, one of many issues that will decide this election is do I base it on past actions, or future promises?
