Riiiight

Yo! Congress. You of the eternally-inked rubber stamps... how do you like being played for fools and losers again?

Rep. Heather Wilson (news, bio, voting record), R-N.M., offered to substitute her original bill on giving legal status to Bush's domestic surveillance program with a bill that would grant a key administration request: allow wiretapping on Americans in the event of an "imminent" terrorist attack.

In exchange, the administration would be required to share with Congress more details of the nature of the threat, presumably with the House and Senate Intelligence committees and some congressional leaders.

There has been virtually no time when the 1600 Crew has promised to "share details" that it has kept its word. None. And in any event, Bunnypants will just append a signing statement saying "Congress, you gullible sluts, you just sold your souls for a promise I have no intention of keeping".

Because when you've pissed on the Constitution once, it's easy for it to become a way of life when you're a republican.

What amazes me is that so many people say Bush should have done something about the utterly vague August 2001 memo about bin Laden, but now that we've actually been attacked, everyone screams bloody murder when he actually tries to do something. What should he have done that August, when we hadn't yet been attacked (at least not during Bush's term--nevermind the six times we were attacked under Clinton's)? You all would have gone berserk. Hypcrites!

David Kean,
Vague? As I'm sure you know, the 9/11 Report found numerous warnings from many sources were issued before the attacks on that awful day in September. The 9/11 Report concludes: "intelligence that indicated a real and growing threat leading up to 9/11 did not stimulate significant increases in security procedures".
So while your Mr Bush was occupied during his first few months in the WH with rewarding his rich supporters with what he jokingly called a tax cut for all of us, trying to destroy social security, privatizing many government functions and so forth, warnings that something big from al Qaeda was coming were shelved. Didn't they just toss out Clinton's assessment and claim they'd do their own when they got round to it? I guess they claim to have finished their in early September 2001. But I guess from their point of view they got their priorities right after all. Who gets to be a "war time president"? They secured their positions alright.

David- WRONG! What amazes us all is that Bush gave up the fight agianst Al Q. What amazes us all is that we have not been hunting for Bin Laden with the majority of our recources since he murdered 3000 Americans.
What also amazes us is the inept team Bush has. Cronies at every level and inept to no planning for post war Iraq which has weakened our position in the region,and hurt our armed forces. "Last throes", "mission accomplished", "mushroom clouds", "greeted as liberators", "paid for by Iraqi oil", I could go on forever. These clowns are inept!
Asking for a little competence is not hypocritical. Asking not to have cronies with little to no experince placed in power positions is not hypocritical. Yeah, every politcal party favors their political allies in postions of power, but these clowns have placed jokers with little to no experience at evry level of gov... it's just nuts.
