WASHINGTON - On the eve of Hurricane Katrina's fateful landfall, President Bush was confident. His homeland security chief appeared relaxed. And warnings of the coming destruction - breached or overrun levees, deaths at the New Orleans Superdome and overwhelming needs for post-storm rescues - were delivered in dramatic terms to all involved. All of it was captured on videotape.

When cornered, a stupid leader retreats into platitudes and make believe. He becomes easy to mock. At this moment in history, the whole world is laughing at Bush, but it's no longer so funny. Rage, pain, explosions and fire are melting cities, killing children. No-one knows who's doing what to whom anymore, or why. The lingua franca of today's leadership is The Lie. Brief a President about an imminent hurricane, and he will later say he was never warned. Broadcast the tape of the briefing and his minders will dispute its relevance. In the age of knowledge, the king is ignorant.

2 Mar 06 "The attack will be spectacular and designed to inflict mass casualties against U.S. facilities or interests. Attack preparations have been made. Attack will occur with little or no warning."-- CIA Intelligence Report for President Bush, July, 2001 (60 Days Prior to 9/11)
Comment: Yes, they are at large... right in the White House and Knesset.

March 1, 2006. It's over. Bush's house of cards has just come crumbling down. We suspected it might just be a matter of time, but now it's officially over!
No one recovers from a 34% approval rating. I'll tell you why -- because even the most inept politician realizes you run away from a 34, not towards it. The entire United States Congress, Democrats and Republicans, have no choice but to run from this President -- as fast as they possibly can (ironically, some of the Democrats will be the slowest to leave this sinking ship -- and Lieberman will be the very last one on board). Comment: Oh, Cenk! Don't you get it? It's NEVER over for a dictator! Not until they put his cold, dead body in the ground.

Consortium News February 23, 2006 Not that George W. Bush needs much encouragement, but Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a new target for the administration's domestic operations -- Fifth Columnists, supposedly disloyal Americans who sympathize and collaborate with the enemy.
"The administration has not only the right, but the duty, in my opinion, to pursue Fifth Column movements," Graham, R-S.C., told Gonzales during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Feb. 6. |

AmericaBlog 1 Mar 06 New evidence has emerged that key agencies of the United Arab Emirates may have been infiltrated by al-Qaeda. In May or June of 2002, al Qaeda officials wrote a letter to the UAE government claiming the emirates were "well aware" of the infiltration.
The letter, translated by the United States Government, is publicly available on the website of the West Point Combating Terrorism Center. ... The existence of the al-Qaeda letter – known officially as AFGP-2002-603856 – was first reported in a little noticed column by Scripps Howard. So there you have it. Bush did no review whatsoever for the Dubai ports deal, just like he did no review in picking Harriet Miers for the support court, did no review in picking whats-his-name for the Homeland Security job (remember, Bernie Kerik), just like he does everything. Bush thinks he knows better than the rest of us, than his own staff, than the experts, so he just plods ahead and screws everything up. Exept now his screw ups are literally risking our lives. How much longer can this presidency be allowed to continue? |

Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, March 1, 2006 The first heading on the issues page of Rep. Mark Foley's Web site brags that he is "one of President Bush's strongest supporters in Congress." The Florida Republican voted for the president's legislation 90 percent of the time, according to the Web site, "the 3rd highest ranking among the Florida delegation."
Now the Florida delegation's third-strongest Bush supporter is on the front lines of the Republican revolt against the president on the deal to turn over key operations at six U.S. ports to a United Arab Emirates company. Republicans who once marched in lock step behind their president on national security are increasingly willing to challenge him in an area considered his political strength. |

AmericaBlog 1 Mar 06 This is great news. They're starting to fall apart. Mostly because of the bad poll numbers for Bush, which are in turn due to George Bush simply not being up to the job as president AND the public now fully realizing that fact.
I've said before that George Bush didn't win either presidential election, in 2000 or 2004. And no, I'm not talking about his stealing the election. I'm talking about the fact that far from receiving a mandate, most Americans didn't vote FOR Bush, they voted, rather, against Gore (to some degree) and against Kerry (to a large degree). Comment: John in DC is dreaming if he thinks there is any chance of getting anyone in Congress who can do anything. He didn't even really get the fact that Bush was not elected not because anyone was voting against Gore or Kerry, but rather because it's not who votes, it's who counts the votes that decides who gets elected.
