And So It Goes

[cal04]

Turns out, according to the Washington Post, the information on which the latest terrorist scare is based is two to three years old. It was sold to the American public initially as if it were a brand-new discovery. It seems that the Bush administration is unable to level with the American people about anything.

So once again, Dr. Howard Dean's instincts are correct – there is definitely a smell of politics about the latest warning of an attack. Karl Rove, the puppet master, must get a big kick out of manipulating the American public and the corporate media – who, like the lap dogs they are, talk endlessly about whatever talking point Rove and his crew slip under their doors.

Hey, people seem to be paying too much attention to John Kerry, so let's give them something else to think about. Let's use the old stuff found in some terrorist's computer to get folks all excited about an imminent attack. What a game. This election is going to be test of American gullibility. You would have to be gullible to think a guy who hid out in the Texas National Guard (George Bush) and a draft dodger (Dick Cheney) are better able to command in a war than a person who actually fought in a war and earned the Silver Star. The Silver Star is no Cracker Jack prize.


The Bush administration is a collection of ideologues and empty suits. Even Bush's alleged support for an intelligence director is misleading. Bush wants a guy with absolutely no power. That's not what the commission recommends. Without the power to control the budgets and to direct the resources of the various intelligence agencies, a new "intelligence czar" would just be another public-relations gimmick. And public-relations gimmick is the sum total of the Bush administration.
