I find this snip from Bush's Aug 3, 2000 acceptance speech irnonic

[keithyboy]

"Our current president embodied the potential of a generation. So many talents. So much charm. Such great skill. But, in the end, to what end? So much promise, to no great purpose.

Little more than a decade ago, the Cold War thawed and, with the leadership of Presidents Reagan and Bush, that wall came down.

But instead of seizing this moment, the Clinton/Gore administration has squandered it. We have seen a steady erosion of American power and an unsteady exercise of American influence.

Our military is low on parts, pay and morale.

If called on by the commander-in-chief today, two entire divisions of the Army would have to report ... Not ready for duty, sir.

This administration had its moment.

They had their chance. They have not led. We will."

Please note: This is the military Bush used and praised.

1. by "seizing the moment" he meant invade other countries

like "now that the Cold War is over, we're free to invade whoever the hell we feel like ! "

This is P.N.A.C.
