He did not want his political enemies to think he was vulnerable, nor did he want to give critics ammunition to hamper a future president facing similiar circumstances.Mr. Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789464810788711789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545156222441496474.post-14454438259326081512007-01-18T19:47:00.000-08:002007-01-18T19:47:00.000-08:00Bulldog,
