agency failed learning relationships
We failed to see relationships that we should have. We failed to communicate from one agency to the other. Those are part of what we are learning today,

What the president is insisting upon are not new ideas, ... Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer.

very effective in taking a question and then elaborating on issues that are largely irrelevant to the question in order to chew up the clock.

Yesterday in Palm Beach County, Florida, the 'oops' factor again reared its ugly head, casting doubt in the minds of many Floridians about whether or not their vote was actually counted,
country strong america
We need to have a strong defense focused on areas that are in the greatest vulnerability. I have been very concerned about America's 361 seaports as a point in which terrorist activities and materials could be brought into the country.
