okay so he blew up new york but if he offered high position within white house, OR even better CIA NSA lets say would you take the job don't lie to yourself, of course you would
how stupid can one be to ask oneself such a question. and how stupid most one be to even take it out to the public and ask others.
you got me there BSAM, you got me well what can I tell ya, we traders are lonely guys all my friends all my family, none of them want to talk market or know anything about it so here I am crawling back
the answer is that this is a stupid question. if bush asks me to be his secretary of defense, i have multiple questions to ask myself. how much do i have to bend my beliefs (i mean clinton had a republican and the man did not convert as far as i know), how much power do i actually have to get my agenda through and so forth. but since your question obviously implies: all bashers=critics are kissing his ass once they are offered something, therefore their bashing is hypocricy in the first place is ... stupid. or you imply that everybody rushes for such a job because of the money, fame or whatever ... is stupid as well. 24/7 job in a crocodile tank is not my personal ideal of life. and i do not need to earn substantially more than i do now.
when you have a president who believes he has a mandate from god to attack iraq he is not going to listen to advisors. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/061001/1/43s0w.html However, DeYoung wrote, Powell, who had been asked by the White House to resign several weeks before, found Bush dismissive and unconcerned, as unwilling to heed his top diplomat's warnings as he had been for the previous four years. Powell afterward called the meeting, a formal final face-to-face between the two men before Powell would be replaced by Condoleezza Rice, as "really strange", DeYoung said. "The president didn't know why I was there," Powell said.
