Imagine if Bush came on television on 9/10/2001, and said that due to remarkable intelligence received about threats to the country, we would be searching every single non-American air passenger for the next month as well as every Islamic American, immediately stopping all overseas flights for a week, invading an as-yet unnamed country in the Middle East, creating a new Homeland Security agency and developing coordinated intelligence between CIA, FBI and Military.
You woulda screamed bloody murder, along with everybody else: Chimpy and his evil minions are LYING COCKSUCKERS! Bent on creating a horrific story in order to build their own new focus of executive power!
