re: Funny how you don't have an answer to the question

Mark Eby — 10/24/2004 11:00:29 PM (archived)

Bush was against nation building. He was afraid of spreading our troups too thin as they are indeed now. 9/11 changed his mind and he clearly lists 9/11 as the reason. It was a significant event. He realized the risk of spreading our troops too thin was less than the risk of inaction. Kerry's significant events for changing his mind include Dean leading in the polls then trying to win independent votes. Do you think these compare in significance?

I've mentioned time and again that the difference between the two is change in convictions versus change in political expediency.

Regards,
Mark
