This really isn’t news. At least I already KNEW that.
July 27th, 2006 at 11:51 amI think they could have left off the “to implement” part. The Bush admin has simply been “slow”, period.
July 27th, 2006 at 11:52 amI keep mentioning this, but how many people know, or care?
My senators in Washington State wrote a bill to have EVERY SHIPPING CONTAINER CHECKED BEFORE THEY REACH OUR PORT CITIES. That bill DIED in the repuklican house.
This issue is very important to EVERY PORT CITY in this country.
July 27th, 2006 at 11:55 amThe thought that they want another terrorist attack on this country is plain as day. For some twisted reason they think that we the people will once again rally around these dangerous fools.

They might be right:-( Mind you, it could be pure incompetence … when have thee halfwits accomplished anything on time?
July 27th, 2006 at 11:58 amThink about it more – how about this scenario – this is like a non issue to them, and for the life of me I try to find some reasoning for it. And what I come up with is they were complicit or even the planners of 911. Ban my comment if you want. I for one don’t doubt for a minute that these people are capable of it.
July 27th, 2006 at 12:00 pmI’m sorry I think you misquoted that headline, it should have been :
THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN SLOW TO IMPLEMENT INTELLIGENCE SEEN AS CRITICAL TO PREVENTING ANOTHER 9/11
July 27th, 2006 at 12:02 pmDear Madashell, not much is going to get done. Not many days left in session and the representatives will not put up any kind of a fight. How many in the press or our representatives are even mentioning the fact that DUBI is indeed up and running.. The public is not getting informed about what is truly going on, instead we are being force fed more war propaganda form the reich winged media about the Israel backed and supported war with our bombs….They are making our country use to more of the same…Show them enough horror on the tube and instill enough fear to back up “over there instead of here” and the sheep follow every word…..As usual, except from code pink the silence from the left is defening…….Out of here for awhile……Sitting in front of the computer and wading through tons of troll and roach posts is accomplishing nothing for me or for Peace…..I’m taking my signs and my tennis shoes and gonna hit the road with who ever is like minded and try to make a diffrence……..Blessings all. Play Nicely….Demand Peace now……
July 27th, 2006 at 12:14 pmI can only come up with two plausible explanations for the Bush Administration’s lack of enthusiasm for real intelligence and security reform.
The first is that they are guilty of a treasonous degree of ineptitude and indifference to gaping holes in our security.
The second is that they considered 9/11 a successful operation and may want to do it again.
July 27th, 2006 at 12:15 pm#9 The second is that they considered 9/11 a successful operation and may want to do it again.
October surprise anyone?

July 27th, 2006 at 12:32 pmAlthough I wouldn’t be surprised, they’d have a very hard time convincing the American public (as dumb as they are) that we were too incompotent to thwart a 2nd attack. After all the bullshit illegal activity they conduct in the name of National Security? That shit wont fly, and I suspect you’d have some massive protests over the current administration’s lack of ability to protect us AGAIN.
I think the headline should read “BUSH SLOW TO IMPLEMENT INTELLIGENCE”. That would capture the whole story, me thinks…
July 27th, 2006 at 12:57 pmOT – Coulter apparently has said that Bill Clinton exhibits latent homosexuality. Why? Because he’s in love with himself. You know, like all homosexuals are. Check it out;

This started with something off-air, so it appears she really is a complete wacko. Not that there was ever much doubt…
July 27th, 2006 at 1:00 pmOT but, quite amusing:

watch out folks, the reichwing is probably planning another 9/11.
July 27th, 2006 at 1:04 pm…critical to preventing another 9/11…
i’m pretty sure this is the object… that is, to ALLOW another attack…
July 27th, 2006 at 1:05 pmit’s gonna happen… no doubt about that…

July 27th, 2006 at 1:09 pmIf it does, can we finally storm the castle with pitchforks and put them in the gallows for their unbelievable ineptitude?
i’m there… let me know if you need a ride from illinois…
July 27th, 2006 at 1:12 pm17
can it be right NOW!!!
July 27th, 2006 at 1:27 pmyou all realize that congress is gone for 5 weeks…
can you imagine what this cabal can do in that time?
the latest turnoil in the ME is excuse enough… a great diversion too… something will come up and iran will be linked… dubya will declare an extention of the 2nd front of the war on terror and attack iran… and it’ll be nukular too…
crazy huh… randi was speculating yesterday and i can’t argue with any of it… i don’t put anything past these criminals… planned chaos… easier to steal that way – and they are stealing…
July 27th, 2006 at 1:30 pmBush Regime is slow to do anything, so no surprise here > lol.
July 27th, 2006 at 1:31 pmThe Bush administration has been “slow to implement†major changes to intelligence sharing…
It’s hard to share what they lack so badly.
July 27th, 2006 at 1:37 pmThey did nothing to discourage 9-11 and their only thoughts before and after have been how they can capitolize and benefit from the situation.
They whole-heartedly welcome their next ‘pearl harbor’ event.
Anyone that attempts to hold them responsible for anything, including the jobs that they are being paid to do, represent their enemies.
July 27th, 2006 at 2:17 pmThat would be about 90% of the american public.
So . . . . . exactly who are they fighting during their ‘war on terrah’?
That’s right, anyone who thinks they should be less than above all laws and have less than unrestricted access to the Unites States Treasury for as far as the eye can see.
They are organized crime at the highest level.
Is this news a surprise to anyone?!
July 27th, 2006 at 2:57 pmDamn, I was going to say that they don’t want the right hand to know what the left is doing, but everyone beat me to it. Someone in part of the shadow govt (you know all those unelected folks that somehow have permanent careers in the executive branch) sees intelligence reform as a bad thing for them.
July 27th, 2006 at 3:51 pmThje government of Bushco is slow to do anything. Look how long it took them before they realized that people should be removed from Lebanon.
Look how long it took Bush to make a response to the Israeli slaughter of innocent Lebanese.
Look at Katrina and perhaps you will see why. The next disaster, well, it will be no better in terms of reaction time.
July 27th, 2006 at 4:41 pmHow does a libertarian conservative fight the war on terror? How does one who is against any corporate regulation get shipping companies to check more containers or chemical companies to add security? It doesn’t look like saying “please” has worked too well.

Comment by Ron Garrett — July 27, 2006 @ 12:15 pm
“Complicit” meaning associated with or participating in a questionable act or a crime. “Greatly successful operation” to begin to reach their goals, so plainly demonstrated for the whole world to see. And most of all, treasonous. Frankly, it’s the only thing that makes sense. I think the American people (and the world) have been subjected to a whole lot of smoke and mirrors.
July 27th, 2006 at 9:42 pmThe proper headline should read “slow to impotent“.
July 28th, 2006 at 12:43 amLet’s see Bush, Cheney and Rove leaked the CIA’s name to Novak. Yes Plame was a active covert agent working in Iran. So now we need intelligence funny as all the agents are at risk for their names being leaked by the White House. Who would want to work in a covert job where the President of the United States would leak their name to cover up a lie to invade Iraq. Why put your life at risk for a government that would let you hang. Now other countries can’t trust the US because of the lies.
