There you go again, speaking rationally and using large words.

That is a mating call to the But Clinton! crowd. :)

[walt1944-2009]

The Great Emperor Bush II is upset about an independant commissions findings that the military is not prepared in the event of another "terrrrrorist" attack. This revelation runs counter to what the Great Emperor Bush said in his State of the Union According to the Great Emperor Bush II speech on Monday, which led everyone to believe that the country has never been "safer" under the Great Emperor''s "protection"!

The Great Emperor, therefore, believes that the findings are flawed and in error, possibly influenced by the cowardly, evil Whimpo-crats, and has decided to disregard the report in total.

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

Bush ignored warnings about terrorist attacks from the Clinton administration and those co0ntianed in his own daily briefings ("Bin Laden determined to attack in US" Condi Rice) and only woke up on 9-11. Then, instead of spending money to secure America, he threw away nearly $1 trillion and 4,000 soldiers lives on a wasted war with a country that had nothing to do with the attack in the first place and was no threat to the US. The arrogance, ignorance and greed of this "thing" (he''s not a man) will go down in history to America''s shame.

And specifically actually made our security worse, with the diversion of 40% of our entire national guard forces and equipment from every state in the union to Iraq, where Al Quaida filled their recruiting goals faster and by far more than our own military is filling their goals. nice.
Its really reassuring to American families'' safety to keep doing things as a president to p1ss off hundreds of millions of foreigners with virtually nothing to lose that now want to kill all americans and bomb our nation.

[ov442]

So this is the ''shield of protection'' that some mentally ill GOP supporters keep saying Bush has given us?
nice.
Oddly, I also heard he REFUSED to follow any of the 9-11 commission''s recommendations to secure the USA, nor has he provided for appropriate security for chemical plants, nuclear plants, energy facilities, Ports of entry, borders in general, coast guard, national guard, first reponders have lost valuable employees and lost revenue from the feds.

Its as if Bush only wanted to spy on americans illegally and didnt want to secure our nation from attacks. And thats all. Like he really wants us to get attacked but no one is trying right now, so hes disappointed but takes credit for it even though hes done nothing to avert anything. Amazing.

Replace "vote for a Democrat" with "shoot a politician" and I may follow along.

We need baseline, elemntary level change in our government, the kind of which we won''''t see because there''''s too many crooks buried deep in the system that won''''t remove their talons. Its the system...and its broken...

I agree...not just the federal gov''t but local gov''t also.

I hope you are kidding...the previous Democratic Administration gutted the military and intelligance agencies...

"Well, if we spent our resources defending the our nation where we live instead of our colonies where the people we have conquered live then we would be better prepared.

I completely agree that we should be spending money here instead of abroad; however, if that money weren''t speant overseas, it still wouldn''t find its way to the places most needed in the military...politicians would NEVER let that happen. Along those same lines, that money wouldn''t find its way to infrastructure.

[cbs_oliver]

The US is also completely unprepared for a take over of the country by right wing nut jobs in the government or military or both.

That fight needs a Congress that is prepared to stand up rather than bend over.

Low cost.

Just replace Republicans with Democrats and Democrats like that Quizling RockyFellow that Boeing Rep Harding with real Democrats.

Boogeyman #1: Global warming
Boogeyman #2: Terrorism

Neither affects most of us in America. Plainly these are transparent efforts for the government to take more freedoms away, while ignoring obvious violence in our society.

A double barrel load of denial.

[wogerwabbit]

Another Bush legacy. How can anybody defend that man?

[inventagod]

As I recall, 9/11 happened on the Republicon watch...

Just another Bu$h failure.

If this had been important, it would have been addressed. To me, this study uncovers the probability that the administration did pull off 9/11 in their coup. They know full well terrorists from abroad are not the threat, only those terrorists within our own government...
