With Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld who needs enemies or terrorists? If every terrorist on the planet were fully armed and came at us in a surprise attack they couldn't do nearly the amount of damage to our military, democracy and economy which Bush-Cheney and their gang have already done due to sheer dishonesty, corruption and incompetence. Plus don't forget who let 9-11 happen, let Osama go and was in business with the Bin Laden family. Bush. Our military is now the weakest, most confused, most depleted and exhausted it has been since the end of the Vietnam War, and since we have no draft we have no reinforcements. So when Katrina hits. No National Guard or Army Engineers either. And certainly no health care or anything else to make our lives better. The entire "war" (if you want to call it that, it's really just a senseless occupation of a hornet's nest we created) is pure deficit spending. No plan to pay for it. No plan for what to do once we'd invaded. No plan to end terrorism. And creating more and more terrorists every time Bushies speak. You're also wrong. Diplomacy is essential to isoilated terrorists. Absolutely essential and Bushies don't do diplomacy. They just send our poor kids to fight for their wrong-headed ideas when not a single major Bushie would ever risk a scraped knee for his country. Bush two speeches "bring it on!" and "axis of evil" probably created 5 million new America haters and attackers in the Middle East alone. Plus they made the price of oil go up. Iran has never been stronger thanks to Bush. And we have only 135,000 exhausted men and 20,000 overpaid mercenaries in Iraq, most of whom are sitting ducks without a real mission. We have no military options left, only diplomatic ones, thanks to the worst commanders in chief in history.

Compare Hitler's speeches and Cheney's or Sean Hannity's, any one of the most strident Bushies ranting. Now substitute the term "jew" for the term "liberal", "immigrant" or "democrat". You will find an amazing similarity. It's really very scary. I truly believe we have another Joseph McCarthy type American neo-fascist movement which has hijacked our democracy. remember, they stole both elections too, and used the war and 9-11 to cow the public and congress. Also the illegal un-supervised domestic wiretapping is the first step toward totalitarianism. And probably hasn't caught a single terrorist either. It's necessary for every American or any party or stripe who cares about democracy and the Constitution (which btw IS America) to get to the polls in November and vote against anyone who has spent the last 3-5 years years appeasing Bush-Cheney and Tom Delay. They are not conservatives, they are enemies of our Jeffersonian democracy.

Why did Bush let Osama go at Tora Bora? We know know the CIA was desperately pleading for 800 Army Rangers to cut off Osama's escape route. But their call was ignored by the White House and Pentagon. Why? And why have Bushies been hands-off Bin LAden ever since? They even disbanded the special hunter-killer team which was focused on Bin Laden. They did away with it completely. Why? And of course you realize that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, Al Qaida or organized terrorism. Saddam was just a thug with a ton of oil and no air force. Easy pickins'.
