GW Bush’s speech only acknowledges that, after 6 yearsof his presidency, his Administration has been unable to secure America. His entire fear monging speech, especially when he declares that terrorists still can attack us “at home”, confirms that we are as vulnerable today as we were before 9/10/2001.

Another great accomplishment of our President.

Whoa there, maddog… Get a grip! I’ll agree that the neocons callously manipulated the horror of 9/11, but to state these blundering dittoheads conspired in the event itself is downright wacky!

Anyone who still believes the 9/11 fairy tale needs help bad. Some guy in a cave pulled it off? Please, that is comic book stuff. 9/11 was an inside job brought to you by Bush and his noecon thug friends. Read Project for the new American Century where it is all outlined. The PNAC crowd pulled off 9/11, not some caveman. Bushfraud is still using it. http://www.newamericancentury.org/

Right on, Rue. Thanks for the support. What Pelosi & Reid need right now are matching sets of brass balls. Get right in the face of this hapless, arrogant, radical regime, and begin the decades-plus work to restore our place as leader of the free world….. Sure, it can get worse…. who would’ve thunk it would come to this?

It’s save-your-legacy-time for Bush and the puppet masters pulling his strings. The Iraq debacle has gone deep south. The country is in bloody ruins, rupturing in civil war, and our soldiers patrol the streets with targets on their backs – all courtesy of this administrations lies, half-truths and scare tactics. Bush has been in over his head since the supreme court gifted him with the presidency. The tragic war notwithstanding, he has failed and dishonored our great democracy in every aspect of governance. Perhaps he should just pin medals of freedom on himself and Cheney – then both can ride into the western sunset, say, tommorrow at dusk.

The only problem with the people being shocked by this tactic, is that it worked before. What’s a tyrant to assume? That the unwashed masses are THINKING about something other that fashion, cars, unfunny talk radio or sports? No, until he is in jail, we’re a bunch of spineless morons, and in my case, a Troglodyte. Why should he think anything is different until it is?

THE RECENT SPEECH BY BUSH IS TOTALLY DISGUSTING! He is a liar. He has been using this old, tired rhetoric for 6 years. We all know the 9/11 perpetrators were Saudis, Bush’s kissing cousins. Our own government had warned him about the forthcoming attack. BinLaden’s relatives were cozying up to Bush Sr., watching the drama unfold and then whisked out of the U.S. while all planes were gounded. Bush said he saw the first attack on TV when there was no TV coverage at that time and then sat for 7 minutes, speechless, when the second hit took place. All the other lies: Al Queda/Hussein, WMDs, illegal war, inspectors were withdrawn U.N., constant fear mongering, and lies about members of his own cabinet. One of my favorite lies: (paraphrase) If any of my cabinet are guilty of misdeeds, they will be removed! Every one of his cabinet and the Vice President are liars, cheaters, and corrupt. If any of you believe one word of what Bush says, you must also believe in the tooth fairy. If you believe the “war on terror” can be won, you should consider the success of the “war on drugs”. jh

Bush know’s now that his only weapon for keeping this debacle in Iraq going, is FEAR speeches in front of his favorite props, The Military, American Legion, VFW and Widow’s and Children of those he sent to die for his legacy. He never comes before people like us who know him for what he is. AN INCOMPETENT, ELECTION STEALING, DESERTER FROM HIS UNIT IN WARTIME, for which he should have been court martialed and sent to Leavenworth. But it is remarkable what being born with a silver spoon in your mouth and having political hacks taking care of you will do for you. Also no physical’s to show he was on drug’s!

I withdrew from the American Legion after they boasted they would take down the Gold Star Mother’s and other peace activist’s. My money was not going to go to an Organization who used their meeting place’s for liars, BUSH, CHENEY!

America, We must come together to have the 110th Congress impeach both of these “Chicken Hawks.” If Bush-Cheney are permitted to serve out their last nineteen months, Our country is in trouble.

To Jake– You are the kind of person who believes the bulls##it you are served up by these people. I am a veteran of Korea- Vietnam and the Cold war. Do not take credit for something you have never done, Like your hero’s. As a matter of fact, DROP DEAD!!!

At this point in time, You are a Tool if you still believe in our president. If John Doe makes you a promise then betrays your trust, you’ll never look at him the same way again. Why is this not the case with our president? Answer: People are Tools. You’re like lambs for the slaughter, just following the sheep in front of you. Everything will be just fine, no need to ask questions, no need to investigate, no looking ahead.

This is Bush’s last gasp, only offensively (sort of) in the same way Hitler sacrificed Germany’s young boys and old men defensively against an advancing Red Army. All is lost for Bush if the troops start being withdrawn on his watch. That just wouldn’t raht in his big ol’ Texas Dubya Bush library, now would it? That’s one. Two, Cheney and Bush put ALL the chips on the table going into Iraq, borrowing from China and all, but have lost every hand and payback is a-comin ta town in the form of a devalued dollar and China demanding repayment… and three, the good ol’ oil (Exxon-Mobil)boys won’t have any part of this here withdrawin’ nonsense, nor would the Haliburton boys, nor the Martin (Marietta) boys… Looks lak a SHOWDOWN is a-comin to town… Pelosi (and 71% of America) this here town ain’t big enough for the few of us and the 240 million or so of ya’ll…

Paul, how can you be so dim? It’s not Iraqi oil per se, it’s the entire ME, and the PNAC desire to use Iraq as a domino effect to create an idyllic region of American sycophants.

Not only is it insane, but it’s documented on the web site of the very people who’ve been pulling Bush’s puppet strings for six years.

BTW, I did you the courtesy of giving a response to your query about what I meant by directly attacking the terrorism problem. You ignored it and then went on about how nobody has any alternatives to the Stay the Course fantasy. Positive proof of your flaccid and shallow intellect.

Hey, paul, great post.

Now, according to your numbers who pay all those trillions for the war? Now, who receives all the money from oil contracts and oil prices especulation? There, now you really love the oil argument.

“Follow us all the way back from their country to ours? Maybe we should have never went over there in the first placeâ€¦ Oh! Right! I forgot about the oilâ€¦”

I love that oil argument.

Iraq produces about 20 billion in oil.
The cost of the war was put in at a minimum of 300 bl, with estimates as high as 1.5 trl.

Assuming the 300 bl, it would take 20 years of completely stealing every drop of oil they had to pay for it.

Greedy oil execs? They want to drill locally, and if the admin were as sinister as believed, they could merely force an embargo, raisng oil prices and profits for their buddies, and get drilling rights just about anywhere out of domestic desperation.

Delusional to even raise the oil argument, but then if the bush admin were so sinister, why not plant wmds in Iraq, and pretend they were always there?

“The official story of 9/11 defies simple laws of physics and nature.”

Writing ‘laws of physics and nature’, to meet your mindset? I wonder if you are more dangerous to yourself, or others.

We lack the finace for true border security, and even if we had the money, we lack the will.

Comment by paul â€” April 16, 2007 @ 10:07 pm

We don’t have the money because we’re busy wasting it in Iraq while creating more terrorists. The people have the will, the administration does not.

â€¦where all our Homeland security money is going?

â€¦certainly not to protect our kids at school, or the mall, or at churchâ€¦

â€¦what happened at Va Tech
Comment by big papa â€” April 16, 2007 @ 9:14 pm

Amen – doesn’t seem the war in Iraq is keeping us safer here. The first two people were shot two hours earlier and nobody did anything to warn to students to be on the lookout for the gunman. We hear all the handwringing but don’t hear anybody questioning where was security on campus.

This is just more evidence in my mind that the bush administration was the entity actually responsible for the 9/11 attacks – their continued shameless use of the event as a vehicle to further their agenda.

You know, the problem with these “compilations”, even if your point is justified, is that you put together only the parts of the President’s adress that prove your point, instead of showing the full context of each remark. I’m glad we have places like this on the internet for people to forget about objectivity and form opinions based on these emotional cues, that you claim are the problem. Give me a break, even if you’re right, then you need to give people a better context.
