Besides, other than painting a goofy little mustache on Bush, he's got a point. |

Did I somehow get the syntax incorrect with the sarcasm off flag? Was there supposed to be an underline instead of a space or something? For everyone who didn't get it: The story is true. However, my introduction of it was "tongue in cheek," a satirical response to those who believe that there is no threat from terrorists, and that the Bush administration is using the specter of that threat to deprive US citizens of the rights and privileges enumerated in the Constitution. I believe that there is a real terrorist threat. I believe that the comparatively few restrictions on our civil liberties are justified by those threats. I think that, despite some missteps, President Bush has done an excellent job in combating terrorism since Sept 11, 2001. Bush is really caught in the "NO WIN" situation no matter what happens. If a plot is foiled and nothing happens (the French Airline grounding) then he is called for over-reacting and crying wolf. On the other hand, if he does nothing and the plane had been used as a weapon yet again, he would be slammed for not having done something to prevent the attack. Who would have believed and supported the President if he had recommended invasion of Afganistan prior to 9/11 because he believed the Al Quida was planning an attack? And how many now are critical because he saw the same threat from Iraq and opted to prevent it?

You know, kind of like Abraham Lincoln or that other villain, Franklin
Roosevelt. I agree with you, Bush just made up that whole World Trade Center attack/3000 civilians killed, thing. (note the mild sarcasm) Next subject, is Larry Smith a worse A&P or political scientist? |

All,
Bush is a bum, a skull and bones moron...., Cheney's stooge, and by the way Cheney is a bum too. Democrats, Republicans are all bums. Politics is the biggest bunch of bull**** and the boys are running the show. Stan K. "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:aICHb.672733$HS4.4769839@attbi_s01... sarcsasm off Too subtle, obviously.
