This isn't America

"And new evidence keeps emerging for Mr. Clarke's main charge, that the Iraq obsession undermined the pursuit of Al Qaeda. From yesterday's USA Today: "In 2002, troops from the Fifth Special Forces Group who specialize in the Middle East were pulled out of the hunt for Osama bin Laden to prepare for their next assignment: Iraq. Their replacements were troops with expertise in Spanish cultures."

That's why the administration responded to Mr. Clarke the way it responds to anyone who reveals inconvenient facts: with a campaign of character assassination"

Gary hart paints a target on his back.
Bush-Rove-Rice have someone else whose character they can draw a bead on:
the U.S. Commission on National Security

"After completing the report, which warned that a devastating terrorist attack on America was imminent and called for the immediate creation of a Cabinet-level national security agency, and delivering it to President Bush on January 31, 2001, Hart and Rudman personally briefed Rice, Rumseld and Secretary of State Colin Powell. But, according to Hart, the Bush administration never followed up on the commission's urgent recommendations, even after he repeated them in a private White House meeting with Rice just days before 9/11."

It's on Salon, so you'll need to click free day pass to read the whole article. George Teflon Bush is still at 50% in the polls. My take? half of my fellow citizens don't give a sh*t.

Republican Gangsters
MATTHEW ROTHSCHILD Progressive There are gangsters in the White House. "Whenever the Bush Administration gets criticized, it responds like Tony Soprano, and Bush's capos put a hit out on whoever dares to question the don." http://radiofreeusa.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2520

The sound of little minds flip-flopping
White House Says It Seize and Freeze All Funding of Terrorists On September 24, 2001 President Bush said, "We know that many of these individuals and groups operate primarily overseas, and they don't have much money in the United States. So we've developed a strategy to deal with that. "We're putting banks and financial institutions around the world on notice, we will work with their governments and ask them to freeze or block terrorist ability to access funds in foreign accounts. "If they fail to help us by sharing information or freezing accounts, the Department of the Treasury now has the authority to freeze their banks' assets and transactions in the United States. "We have developed the international financial equivalent of law enforcement's 'Most Wanted' list, and it puts the financial world on notice: If you do business with terrorists, if you support or sponsor them, you will not do business with the United States of America." White House Cuts Funding for Investigators to Seize and Freeze Terrorist Funding On March 30, 2004 The New York Times reported, "The Bush administration has scuttled a plan to increase by 50 percent the number of criminal financial investigators working to disrupt the finances of Al Qaeda, Hamas and other terrorist organizations to save $12 million, a Congressional hearing was told on Tuesday. "The Internal Revenue Service had asked for 80 more criminal investigators beginning in October to join the 160 it has already assigned to penetrate the shadowy networks that terrorist groups use to finance plots like the Sept. 11 attacks and the recent train bombings in Madrid. But the Bush administration did not include them in the president's proposed budget for the 2005 fiscal year." What is it with these guys? If you want the White House on your side of an issue all you have to do is wait a little while....
