Bush uses Veterans Day for his own personal politics.

Does this man have no shame?

TOBYHANNA, Pa. - President Bush forcefully attacked critics of the war in Iraq on Friday, accusing them of trying to rewrite history and saying they are undercutting American forces on the front lines.



"The stakes in the global war on terror are too high and the national interest is too important for politicians to throw out false charges," the president said in his combative Veterans Day speech.

Defending the march to war, Bush said that foreign intelligence services and Democrats and Republicans alike were convinced at the time that former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction

1. In that vein...

... someone just emailed Thom Hartmann, saying, "Bush is in Pennsylvania today, and I'm from Pennsylvania. I'm really concerned. Can chickenhawks carry avian flu?" :)

2. Terror must exclude these:

Lying to the people who voted for you

Hyping up illnesses which will likely not infect us (remember the Asian flu scare of the 1980s)

Supporting the decimation of our economy, which in turn scares the populace shitless

Removing long-time and justified protections for citizens such as bankruptcy. Particularly when the Christian Bible is forgiving of debtors and denounces the greedy

Claiming God talks to you yet you don't get hauled off to the loonie bin

Claiming to put honor and dignity back into the white house while committing actions which are grossly contrary to that claim

Ignoring the warnings of other countries, which in turn allows a hideous terrorist attack TO take place

Axing the Constitution's amendments, little by little but surely by surely

Continuing to mention "terror alerts" - tantamount to "crying 'Wolf!'"



How many more examples need to be said?

Mister Bush, the American people are now apathetic because of your childish and increasingly expansive scare tactics and are (finally) openingly questioning you like they damn well should be; as they should for ANY elected official. They can still hate the Dems all they want, but they are questioning you and others in your party. And you can't pin it on Clinton or anyone else this time.

3. Bush & his narcissitic cabal must hate any day that celebrates people

other than them. And we know memorial day doesn't celebrate chicken hawks. So it had to be targetted for diminishment - like anything else that makes Karl feel "bad".

Now the cabal is happy - the soldiers have been pooed up. And things are again as things should be.... if you are a SOCIOPATH!!
