They said there were extra controls to check for terrorists. I wonder if they had checkpoints on the road down from Belgium?
Late July is the business end of the championship, mate.
Ya they had extra controls and less staff.
EU countries should and will get top preference.
Correct on the votes, I should have been more specific and said Democratic leadership. Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Tom Daschle, John Edwards, Dianne Feinstein, Tom Harkin and Chuck Schumer all voted for the resolution, Democrats had the votes in the Senate to defeat it but a 29-21 majority voted for it. Most significantly, the leadership was as gung ho as Bush. John Kerry: âI believe a deadly arsenal of WMD in his hands is a grave threat to our securityâ, Clinton: possession of WMD was ânot in doubtâ and âundisputedâ, Biden: âa long term threat to our securityâ and âan extreme danger to the worldâ.
Democratic leadership at the time were just as gung ho as Bush and the neo-cons, and thereâs no reason they should be forgiven any more than Bush or Cheney.
