Bush is a Failure in War on Terror

Where to start?

"Tonight, I am instructing the leaders of the F.B.I., the C.I.A., the Homeland
Security and the Department of Defense to develop a Terrorist Threat
Integration Center, to merge and analyze all threat information in a single
location. Our government must have the very best information possible." Thus
spoke President Bush in the 2003 State of the Union address. A White House fact
sheet called the center "the next phase in the dramatic enhancement of the
government's counterterrorism effort."

[reported in today's NY Times]

But:

"Mr. Lehman also predicted that the [9/11] commission's final report would
include unanimous recommendations for change in the intelligence services,
which he said could not distinguish "between a bicycle crash and a train
wreck.""It is dysfunctional," he said. "It needs fundamental change, not just
tweaking and moving the deck chairs or the organization boxes around."-- NY
Times

Lehman of course was Secretary of the Navy under Reagan.

-- NY Times 6/20/04

Soooooooooo..... eighteen months after the 2003 SOTU address, our intelligence
apparatus can't tell the difference "between a bicycle crash and a train
wreck."

George Bush is a miserable failure. He has to go.

Sure, Art. That's a no-brainer.

Now the Bush supporters are racking their brain trying to figure out some way
to brand Lehman as a leftie.

We are -less- safe now than we were 3 years ago.

BUT -- we have over 900 KIA in war on terror, so vote for Bush!

I'm sorry guys. He screwed you. He's the worst president ever.

They need no facts to brand Lehman a leftie. They will just say God told them
so.

Who's on top next? You guys really should get a room!

I guess it's comforting to know that even if no one else will listen to your
nonsense, you still have each other.

Well, extracting your head from your fundamental orifice would
be progress.

And of course that one of the so-called investigators bears
no small part of the blame for not allowing intelligence
agencies to put the disparate parts of the puzzles(s)
together is entirely irrelevant.
Phew, am I glad you cleared that up.

I wonder if laying off 1/3 of the CIA in the 1990s contributed to not
connecting dots in 2001?

"I don't need to know very much about you or your ideas to know that if you
think Michael Moore is just great, a truth-teller and a much-needed tonic
for everything that is wrong in American life, you are not someone to take
seriously about anything of political consequence, or you are French. But I
repeat myself." - Jonah Goldberg

if you
think Michael Moore is just great, a truth-teller and a much-needed tonic
for everything that is wrong in American life

That's not far from the truth.

Yeah, nearly as many people went to see "Fahrenheit 9/11" last week as
went to see "Jackass: the Movie" when it opened...

Moore is nearly as popular as *Johnny Knoxville*!!!
