1992: Al Gore Criticizes Bush 41 for Ignoring Iraq's Ties to Terrorism.
In 1992 Al Gore takes George Bush to task for not taking firm action against
Saddam. He tells the audience that Bush knew about Saddam's weapons of
mass destruction (biological and nuclear), but that Bush "looked the other way"
[and did nothing].
Interesting, how in 1992 Al Gore seems to feel that Iraq under Saddam was a
significant threat. But now...

Korea; she was serving as President Clinton's Secretary of State.

"Well, you know, I was a Democrat for my
whole life as was my family for, you know, generation after
generation. And I think 9/11 kind of changed my mind. Wait a
minute. I said, wait, this is real. And I think I thought that
the most important issue facing us is security. I mean, it
had to be more important than my environmental interests or my
pro choice attitude or just any other opinions I had. It just
was security above all. And I just wasn't comfortable with the
Democrats' response and so while I voted for Gore and Lieberman
in 2000, in 2004 was the first time I'd ever voted for a
Republican president."

Too often the words "tactics and tactical" get
thrown out there but are not explained in a clear and concise manner.
Doing something tactically simply means
performing a task in a 360 degree environment while maintaining the three
attributes of tactics; security, control, and common sense.
Security:
1) Make the best use of available cover.
2) Be aware of your surroundings
3) Maintain mobility for security.
Control:
1) Keep control of the situation by
communicating with others.
2) Put yourself in the most advantageous
position in relation to the threat(s).
3) Stay on top of the situation until you
are sure the dust has settled.
Common Sense:
1) Always check your actions or planned
actions against the common sense factor.
2) Is what I'm about to do a good idea?
3) Is this worth risking my life for?
