Who can’t be trusted?
President Bush speaking at a fundraiser last night effectively stated that the Democrats shouldn’t be trusted to run Congress…
“If you listen closely to some of the leaders of the Democratic Party, – it sounds like — they think the best way to protect the American people is, wait until we’re attacked again”
Wow, talk about the pot call the kettle black!
Does he know that a State Department official has confirmed that Secretary of State (Condoleezza Rice) did indeed receive a CIA briefing regarding active terror threats two months prior to the attacks even though she has repeatedly stated she doesn’t recall such a briefing? In which case it would have been his administration who *waited until we were attacked *. I also guess he didn’t read the recent intelligence report that suggests that the war on Iraq has if anything *helped* recruit more terrorists.
Bush is scared of the fact that control of the House is up for grabs in the November and current signs indicate a less than ideal outcome for the GOP. Perhaps they should have thought of that sooner and kept a tighter leash on former GOP representative Mark Foley — which allegations surfaced today that he interrupted a vote on the House floor in 2003 to engage in cyber-sex with a former page. Let’s also not forget the allegations — some of which from fellow GOP representatives — that Foley’s behavior had been covered up by House Speaker Dennis Hastert. Although there is no hard evidence regarding Hastert was involved in a cover-up the allegations aren’t completely without merit based on what information is available.
I’m not all that surprised that even with all this going on that President Bush would stand up and say that it’s the Democrats that can’t be trusted, afterall he’s never really known what’s actually going on in reality, so why should he start now?
