The All Familiar

Ah yes. Always so fun to hear this ridiculous line of thinking from our Fearless:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 - President Bush issued an unusually stark warning to Democrats today about how to conduct the debate on Iraq as midterm elections approach, declaring that Americans know the difference "between honest critics" and those "who claim that we acted in Iraq because of oil, or because of Israel, or because we misled the American people."

In a speech here to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Mr. Bush appeared to be issuing a pre-emptive warning to critics at a time when Democrats are divided between those who say the United States should begin a troop withdrawal now and those who have criticized Mr. Bush but say the United States should stay in Iraq as long as necessary.

In some of his most combative language yet directed as his critics, Mr. Bush said Americans should insist on a debate "that brings credit to our democracy, not comfort to our adversaries."

Interesting language selection by the NYT reporter David E. Sanger- that Bush and The Administration are begining a "pre-emptive warning" to critics and Democratic reformist politicians who might run in the midterms this year on a ballot that includes the many absurd failures issued to the American public by The Administration. I'm sick of counting the ways. So let's just look at one issue- the one most connected to this ridiculous rhetoric: 9/11.

Perhaps no indicator is more telling than the bipartisan 9/11 panel flunking The Administration's efforts on post 9/11 reform, which leaves the country in a much less secure arena. Does this "give comfort to our adversaries?" Absolutely. When our democratically elected officials ceaselessly fail to protect and secure their own population through out every crisis, including the threat of terrorism, which they'd likely wish to exploit, I would say our enemies, supposedly bent on our destruction, will find comfort in bounties. Thanks a bundle, Mr. President.

You keep spewing this nonsense if it makes you and your cronies feel better about yourselves. We don't mind.

It's only our lives on the line.
