Wake Up From Bush
RECEIVED Mon., Feb. 9, 2004
Dear Editor,
Now we know why Bush extended the deadline for the 9/11 commission. The administration needs to buy time from the American public in order to get past the election without having to produce WMDs. George Tenet attempted to buy that time by insisting that David Kaye doesn't know crap. Hmmmm. President's approval rating below 50%; Americans believing what we are doing in Iraq is wrong over 50%; White House gives in to the 9/11 investigation extension; Tenet falls on his sword and begs for more time while protesting that overall the CIA is doing a great job; the president goes on Meet the Press. A Rove by any other name still smells the same.
Today Bush's new campaign bottom line is: "Based on what I knew then and what I know now, we did the right thing in Iraq." Most of America disagrees. This shows Bush's inability to learn from his mistakes. He said the unemployment rate is dropping. Yo G., when people run out of benefits and/or hope you don't count them anymore. Doesn't mean we're not still here! Bush is beginning to show that he truly does not see things as most Americans do.
He's had two years to kick this country in the ass and lead it back to the thriving economy and peaceful existence we enjoyed in the Nineties. Instead, all he's done is kick America in the balls financially, internationally, domestically, and repeatedly. And he just keeps on kicking us. Tenet repeated the lies today. Bush will repeat them again on Sunday. TV ads and surrogates will repeat them for the next 10 months. Ten months of someone repeating the same behavior expecting a different result. Isn't that the definition of insanity? Don't let him kick you in the balls anymore, America. Wake up!
