B.uS.h

The 1st and 3rd letter of his name is what we are being fed.

Patriot Act -- they give these things such positive names. They deliver a shark and call it a dolphin. Anyway, speaking to hand-selected audiences, does he have any other kind, Bush asserted that the sweeping powers granted in the act should be renewed, and even expanded , because the new authority "resulted in charges against more than four hundred suspects, and more than half of those have been convicted."

Records kept by the Department of Justice show that fewer than 40 individuals -- not the more than 200 convictions that Bush claimed -- have been convicted of crimes related to terrorism or threats to our national security. And they were convicted of minor criminal offenses such as making a false statement to investigators or of civil immigration charges.

The renewal of the Patriot Act needs bipartisan debate, which is nearly impossible with this administration, with facts driving the debate, not political rhetoric.

Cheney's statement -- Vice President Dick Cheney claimed that the insurgency was in it's last throes and was about to be defeated. But the number one general in Iraq, General John Abizaid said, "In terms of comparison from six months ago, in terms of foreign fighters, I believe more foreign fighters are coming into Iraq than there were six months ago. In terms of the strength of the insurgency, I'd say it's about the same as it was."

Now take that with the fact that our soldiers still don't have the armour that they need while the insurgents are becoming more sophisticated in their attacks. They are using stronger bombs, remote controlled bombs, bombs rigged into cars that are sold to unsuspecting Iraqis then blown up by remote control at any given time.

Rove's statement -- was something to the effect that after 9/11 the Republicans prepared to go to war and the Democrats wanted to find the terrorists and get them therapy. So I guess he figures that there are no Democrats in Iraq and there haven't been any Democrats injured or killed. I don't think you can unite a country with lies and B.S. They're not looking to unite, they are looking to control. And they are going about that just the way you should to take control. Keep you brains open.
