   Oh there was a better choice, but I pointedly note that said choice was   
   attacked relentlessly in the conservative media despite nominally meeting   
   the issues raised incredibly better than dumbya.  It's been obvious since   
   2000 that Bush is incompetent and has corrupt people around him, but   
   competency does not seem to be why people voted for him.   
      
   I once again suggest that without violating the law, at last six of the 19   
   folks who hijacked planes should have triggered warnings, and complaints   
   from flight schools that students didn't want to learn how to land should   
   have triggered alarm bells if nothing else did.
