Re: Then George W. Bush came along and cancelled the program to save a few million. Brilliant. How stupid is this guy?

Time to face facts here, jttmab. The best way to analyze this is to do a classic cui bono? (who benefits?) study of the situation.

Now, you suggest that it is dumb for Dubya to have curtailed our funding of the controls on the FSU fissile materials and scientists. I say it was brilliant. Why? Because if you are a desperado trying to justify a $50 Billion per annum increase in insane budgets for war toys, you really gotta have an enemy. Right? Am I right about this? We need enemies. The damn Ruskies fell down on the job and that's too bad. It took our PNAC "thinkers"

some time to come up with a suitable paranoid sham, but they've managed to do alright since last September, all in all. We've got anthraxed and intimidated Democratic leader in the Capital, we've got cower passengers on commercial flights:
nytimes.com
(perpetrated by the inscrutable TSA, which is suppressing all investigations of the flights on 9/11, BTW.)

we've got random arrests of unsuspecting citizens:
govexec.com

we've got teddy bear bomb scares on St. Valentine's day:
cnn.com

we got 700 Homeland Security forces surrounding three unarmed medical students in Florida.

We got orange warning days and yellow warning days and magenta warning days.........

Anyway, you get the idea. We have a mal-Administration that is hellbent of terrorizing the populace to the greatest extent possible in order to extort the greatest amount of money possible for their devious rackets.

Did I mention that a fellow named David Frasca was an FBI supervisor who suppressed investigations into Islamic fundamentalists by Colleen Rowley in Minneapolis and an Agent Wright in Phoenix and got a promotion and a raise shortly after 9/11. Apparently for a job well done.

Does this American Empire seem curiouser and curiouser day by day? Bush dumb? Hardly. No one could be dumb and get away with throwing an extra $100 Billion to his bribers in times like these. Bush is brilliant.

Peace Now, Ray
