And Democratic presidential contender Richard Gephardt, a U.S. congressman from Missouri, said he shared O'Neill's impression of Bush as not engaged, telling CBS that the president "is a nice man. And hes a smart man. But he doesnt have experience. He doesnt have knowledge. And he has no curiosity.

Who cares about Gephardt's quote? Ignore politico's posturing even in the possible event that their postures are correct.

The letter closing reflects what other polls and surveys are starting to show, apart from the historic place of the war itself: "Bush came to office promising to be a uniter, not a divider. He is uniting the world against us but dividing our nation against itself."

Lame fluffy closing sentiment.

Aside from that, some points taken. Some not.

There's a thread here that I'll bump up when I find it. Couldn't find it when I looked for it months ago, though.
