Sorry, Aunty-- I can't follow that. I have seen it stated here, though, that if something bad happens in regards to/with/for/by the federal government, then Bush is at fault--the "his watch" thing. If indeed that is the agreement, then the good that happens under "his watch" is his responsibility as well.

But I've stated my personal views elsewhere, that we shouldn't make politics and fisheries issues bedfellows because we'll all lose no matter who is in office.

H20-- Personally, I blame just about everybody for 9/11 going back for a couple of decades. I was on one of the hottest shallow-water, light-tackle silver bites I've ever had with Alaska-type action virtually within sight of my house on 9/11. It took me quite a while before fishing really seemed relevant.
