"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years. And that may happen sooner if he can obtain access to enriched uranium from foreign sources -- something that is not that difficult in the current world. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." -- John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002

 Bush vs. Clinton economies
By Larry Elder"There seems to be a pattern here. It takes a Clinton to clean up after a Bush. "So said presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., during a speech - specifically on the economy - before a crowd in Knoxville, Iowa. Okay, we understand campaign sloganeering - purportedly funny lines and the like during the campaign season. But shouldn't the Associated Press, in reporting Clinton's line, provide the reader with a little information?

By Larry Elder"There seems to be a pattern here. It takes a Clinton to clean up after a Bush. "So said presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., during a speech - specifically on the economy - before a crowd in Knoxville, Iowa. Okay, we understand campaign sloganeering - purportedly funny lines and the like during the campaign season. But shouldn't the Associated Press, in reporting Clinton's line, provide the reader with a little information?Let's look at what incoming President Bill Clinton "cleaned up" when he took over from George H. W. Bush in late January 1993. Despite the relentless economic news by the traditional media, Clinton entered office with an economic recovery two years old. During Bush-41's last year in office - 1992, the year voters elected Clinton - the economy grew 3.2 percent. President Clinton's average economic growth during his eight years was 2.4 percent.Now look at what incoming President George W. Bush faced. The economy peaked in September 2000. Many economic indicators, such as industrial production, peaked in September 2000 - Clinton's last full year in office - and continued to slide through January 2001, when Bush took office. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), a nonprofit organization the government uses to determine economic cycles, states the recession began in March 2001, some six weeks after Bush took over. So when W entered the White House, he dealt with an economy entering a recession - a recession that, according to the NBER, lasted until November 2001.Sen. Clinton's quip elicited applause from her audience, but how many in the crowd knew about the economic conditions Clinton enjoyed when entering office, or the downturn W confronted when he did so? Small wonder that so many remain ignorant about this when the Associated Press, in covering Clinton's economic speech, provides no information.
