btw, for me to be wrong on this, Bush would not have had any members of his admin as carry overs from the Clinton administration
Not at all. For you to be wrong all one has to do is look at Bush's record. Extending the hand of friendship with your fingers crossed behind you back is not friendship, it's gamesmanship.
Carry overs don't mean shit in the divisive stakes. One could argue he kept Tenet on to blame for any intelligence fuck ups during that period...and there were a few of them.
