Dear President, why are you sleeping while the country is being invaded? Did you forget that you gave an oath to protect and preserve The Constitution? Why are you violating that oath?

Are you using a speech recognition system on your PC?

Why, yes I am. Why do you ask?

I listened to the President press conference and he almost made it to the top of that mountain.

Which mountain you ask?

The one where he finally speaks forthrightly to the American people.

He spoke about the danger of terrorism and went on about how he has to, as leader of the country, pay attention to what is said. IE-if Iran says they have nuclear weapons, he has to think it's true. HE then went on about why he had to react to 9-11 quickly because he knew more terrorist attacks would come.

Anyway, this is what I'd like to hear the President say. Just once:

"Look at the attacks on our country on September 11. That was an attack meant to destroy this country. Think about it. No military on the planet can defeat the American army. The only way they could bring this country down is by targeting very selective targets.

What was attacked on September 11? Two very important icons of the American economy. Strike one, destroy the American economy.

Next target-the pentagon. Strike two, destroy the country's center of military control. This way America can't strike back and it could take ages to get the military up to snuff again.

Next target-the congress or white house, we don't know. Strike three-destroy the center of the country's government. Recall that congress was very much in session on 9-11. Kill as large a number of the designated leaders in possible and the third strike is delivered: the populace panics, chaos ensues, no leaders can be re-designated for the confusion.

So with the economy in a plummet, the military unable to respond and no leadership accompanied by a panicked populace, boom, it's easy for takeover.

Now wouldn't it be nice to hear the President of the United States say the above? Just once?

Well it's how I see 9-11 so I least I got that out.

Dear Nikola,

Why are you posting such ridiculous garbage? Did you forget to take your medication yet again? Why are you violating the terms of your probation?

I love that movie. We own only about 5-6 movies and that's one. Anyway, you're more than welcome.

You have no idea how much I wish the president had outlined the release of that information the way that you did.

:-) I understand not covering the entire 2 hours maybe, but more than 15 minutes would have been nice. Oh, well. As you said, there's always a car chase to cover.

Yes - he did suggest the questioner knew more about the subject than he did. I was sort of perplexed by that and couldn't tell if he was being diplomatic or what.

Absolute nonsense and that the President believes it is scary.

Everything Bush says lately is scary. Corrupt governments don't even get voted out here.

You don't believe the country is being invaded?

Members of my family had to cancel doctor appointments here in Atlanta because illegal invaders are protesting in the streets. Think about that for a minute - we have illegal immigrants in our streets disrupting life for Americans.

I wish that some journalist would ask the President straight out why our government is putting out this deliberate, misinformative propaganda about Zarqawi and "Al Qaeda" being responsible for most of the mayhem in Iraq, when in fact almost all of it is really being perpetrated by the Saddam loyalists.

A little truth for once would be a welcome change from this administration, but I'm not holding my breath.

The media is totally incestuous. They want to cover pressers by their own kind, not these bright kids from Johns Hopkins University.

Brit Hume was asking it of the Iraqi ambassador yesterday evening.

A military spokesman says the Zarkawi (sp?) group behind 90% of the attacks.

You got that right. Those kids asked better questions in the 15 minutes I heard than the media have asked in a year.

Brit's query was more along the lines of, we keep hearing that everything's going well in Iraq but many say the country is in a de facto civil war.

There was a brief moment during the first Administration when I believed this President would stop the Mideast charade of Arabs wanting peace with Israel and formulate policies based on reality.

Was that yesterday or Saturday... the day you became a member?
