THE DAILY MIS-LEAD < www.Misleader.org > =============================== BUSH SENDS MIXED SIGNALS ON TERRORISM At last night's debate, President Bush said that we could not hope to defeat terrorists if we have a leader who sends mixed signals. Bush said, "you cannot lead if you send mixed messages. Mixed messages send the wrong signals to our troops. Mixed messages send the wrong signals to our allies."[1] But, throughout his presidency, Bush has sent mixed messages on fundamental terrorism-related issues. For example, in September 2001 Bush said that he was determined to capture Osama bin Laden "dead or alive."[2] Six months later Bush said, "I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him... I truly am not that concerned about him."[3] In April of this year, Bush said that we could win the war on terrorism.[4] Then, on August 30, he said "I don't think you can win [the war on terror]."[5] The next day, he said "Make no mistake about it, we are winning and we will win [the war on terror]."[6] Sources: 1.

The proof of Karl Rove's utter disregard for the law, morality and decency is well documented in the book and movie titled "Bush's Brain". bushsbrain.com Speaking of brains, you might request one in your next incarnation.

In 1991, Rove was undergoing State Senate confirmation hearings for an appointment to the East Texas State University Board of Regents. Senator Bob Glasgow was questioning Rove about his work for Governor Bill Clements in the 1986 campaign against Governor Mark White, the Democratic incumbent. A now-forgotten incident of that campaign involved a listening device allegedly found in Rove’s office by a private security firm, a few days before a televised debate. The case made headlines around the state. It was investigated by Rampton, who never found the alleged perpetrator. Glasgow: "Ah, Mr. Rove, would you now tell us publicly who bugged your office that you blamed upon Mark White publicly and the press statewide?" Rove: "Ah, first of all, I did not blame it on Mark White. If, ah, if you’ll recall I specifically said at the time that we disclosed the bugging that we did not know who did it, but we knew who might benefit from it. And no, I do not know. ..." Glasgow: "And are you now satisfied that Mark White and the Democratic Party did not bug your office as you – as you released, ah, to the newspapers?" Rove: "Senator, I never said Mark White bugged my office, I’m not certain he has an electronic background. I never said the Democratic Party bugged it either.... As to who bugged it, Senator, I do not know – and the F.B.I. does not know...." Glasgow: "How long have you known an FBI agent by the name of Greg [Rampton]?" Rove: "Ah, Senator, it depends – would you define ‘know’ for me?" Glasgow: "What is your relationship with him?" Rove: "Ah, I know, I would not recognize Greg [Rampton] if he walked in the door. We have talked on the phone a var – a number of times. Ah, and he has visited in my office once or twice, but we do not have a social or personal relationship whatsoever...." Glasgow: "During the Rick Perry campaign (against Jim Hightower), did you have any conversations with FBI agent Rampton about the course and conduct of that campaign?" Rove: "Yes, I did, two or three times...." (and more) mollyivins.com
