SAFER than Pre-9/11???
written yesterday, 8/10, but blogger was down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The plot to hijack multiple planes in the UK and head towards the USA came out this morning.
Our leader, President Bush says “The -- this country is safer than it was prior to 9/11.”
Excuse me???? I don’t think I heard you correctly, Mr. Bush.
I beg to differ. This country was safer when we had Clinton in office. Not safe. But safER.
Here’s Bush’s whole speech here, delivered at 11am this morning:

…and what is this?: “The recent arrests that our fellow citizens are now learning about are a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to -- to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation.”
“…Those of us who love freedom”???
Doesn’t that include THEM? Doesn’t that include every person on this earth?
Who wouldn’t want to be free to do what they love? Who wouldn’t want to be free to marry whomever they love? Who wouldn’t want to be free to have authority over their own bodies? Oh, pardon me, I don’t speak of the USA in that statement. Our country must not REALLY be free. We sure talk a lot about it, don’t we?
What is this jargon BS that Mr. Bush is handing us? I certainly hope the American people aren’t buying it anymore. It’s time to wake up and really see and hear what this administration is doing.
Part of the problem is that we are the biggest bullies on the planet. No wonder we are hated. Think about it. Why do we think we can bully the rest of the world and not pay any consequences?
I’m pretty sure that attacking Iraq is not going to stop people from hating us. I believe it FEEDS it.
We need to take some long serious looks at ourselves and figure out a way that we can contribute to the world instead of trying to dominate it. While we’re at it, we might try LISTENING to other nations instead of shutting them out crying “terrorist.” Aren’t we Iraq’s terrorists?
A “terrorist” to one man is another man’s “freedom fighter.” Shall we look to see why we have inspired this other group to employ freedom fighters? Shall we, Mr. Bush?
