Part 2 will deal with films as well, but then I'll go on to other media.<BR/><BR/>(Answering your third comment) I don't see how the Clancy films (I never read the books) describe Bush's actions. Bush didn't blame and launch an immediate retaliation against Russia after 9/11.<BR/><BR/>(Answering your fourth comment) Thanks for the information.Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16528392.post-1131156621993158332005-11-04T18:10:00.000-08:002005-11-04T18:10:00.000-08:00By the way there is a link now at yahoo for your s...By the way there is a link now at yahoo for your siteErikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132125311158280423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16528392.post-1131155107254002722005-11-04T17:45:00.000-08:002005-11-04T17:45:00.000-08:00But it's funny how the Tom Clancy books you mentio...But it's funny how the Tom Clancy books you mentioned perfectly describes Bush isn't it?
