That part I agree with. Anyone who really believes that the swift boat vets did all that stuff on there own are not being realistic. Let us not forget, no matter which side we support, that these guys, Bush, Kerry, Dean, etc. are ALL politicians and they all play dirty from time to time. It's just that somw are more dirtier than others.

Well maybe I am a bit more sensative to this issue than others, but even if TL's statement was a swipe at The President, it still is wrong to use that event, an event that should never be forgotten, as a means of attacking The President. You may not like this President's domestic policies, you may not like his foreign policies, and you just may not like him for no reason at all. But NO ONE should ever fault him for making references to 9/11 when he is making a speach. It was a horrible thing that happened to us, and war was declared on us that day, and we are still fighting that war. As The President of a country that was attacked, it is his duty to remind the American people every now and then as to what happened to us that day and why we must stay steadfast in the war on terror. If The President did not mention 9/11, these same people would be accusing him of not facing the facts of what happened and accusing him of wanting the American people to forget. ANY President who is in office during a war is bound to be criticized, no matter what he says or does. But the bottom line for me is that since 9/11 several potential attacks have been thwarted, and almost 4 years later there has not been an attack on American soil. Thank God. So this administration must be doing something right as far as homeland security is concerned. But IMHO, no matter what, 9/11 is a very sore subject for many many people, and TonyLove should NEVER use that day as a platform for attacking our President. I don't know, but for me it is still a very real event that I will never forget.
