WASHINGTON, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Democrats accused U.S. President Bush on Saturday of fanning terrorism fears shamelessly as he was about to lose certain authority to wiretap foreign suspects without a court warrant.
Bush, for his part, flailed the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives for what he called putting U.S. security at risk for political motives in an election year.
The Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, responding to a Republican blitz on the issue, said there should be no question in anyone's mind that U.S. intelligence agencies retained the right to take "all actions necessary to protect" U.S. security.
"For anyone to suggest otherwise is irresponsible and totally inaccurate," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said in a joint statement.

“Title of Video: Omar, Son of Al-Qaeda Leader Osama Bin Laden: If My Father Is a Terrorist, Bush Is a Terrorist Too”
When this WOT first started, I stated that we will not win it until we fight as ruthlessly as the terrorists do. I also said that OBL son should’ve have been killed within a month. Yet this POS still breathes air.
“...but unfortunately the traitors are too stupid to realize it.”
Toby Hill, if you insert the word WILLFULLY before stupid and delete the word “too”; I’ll agree with you.
“Pelosi & Co. would say the opposite of what any Rebuplican said. Logic and rational thought has nothing to do with it.”
I agree Oorang.
In clarification, we may already be in the second phase of World War IV and not know it yet. If so, I believe our old friends in France are getting in it with both feet. Thank God.
“When this WOT first started, I stated that we will not win it until we fight as ruthlessly as the terrorists do.”
I understand.
OUR TROOPS are doing an absolutely fantastic job in Iraq, Afghanistan and their other missions. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with what they are doing. Period.
Oh, and no interfering with the alphabet agencies (known and unknown to us) as they do their jobs.
You should see what the Paulines are saying on another thread about pulling out of everywhere and how this extension is terrible tyranny.
They’re still moaning about eavesdropping.

and then look at my posts above, then look at Cindy's last few batches of summaries.
I think I'm seeing phantom worries, but doesn't it look a bit more busy than it should around Jan 30th in her summaries? Could I be right?
yes it does look busy. Things started happening very fast there.
A whole lotta smoke....and plenty of fire to go with it if you ask me.
If God Himself came to show Pelosi in unimagineable ways that HE was indeed God, Nancy would argue with him.
Not so much she didn’t believe HE was indeed God, but that HE doesn’t exist!
She’d blame it on Cheney and his raygun or some vast right wing conspiracy.
Liberalism is a cultish disease and they’ve elected several people no longer in control of their faculties to powerful positions.
There’s no reasoning with the unreasonable and at some point we’ll need Republicans that realize this sad truth or pay DEARLY to ALL our detriments!
If I had my way, everytime she (and boatloads of others) opened her mouth, Republicans shouldn’t engage them other than something like this:
I recognize (insert her name here) is no longer in contol of his (her) faculties and I propose we...(this or that).
Each and EVERYTIME on every issue from now until these dangerous lunatics are OUT!
At first the MSM would call it political grand-standing...then they would say it’s a Republican stunt and the new “tone” from the right...blah blah blah
but EVENTUALLY, at some point, even the people that vote for them, along with the drive-by media, would have NO CHOICE but to wonder why virtually every Republican (save of course the RINOS which would also expose THEM for the frauds they are) keep talking about mental illness whenever Murtha, Pelosi, Reid etc. come up! Expose the worst of the worst first and work from there. The media would eventually realize they’re AT LEAST ineffectual.
People could start giving interviews and say what else can it be? I mean these people are aiding our enemies, some assert like Cynthia McKooky (that slap the VERY epople protecting them btw) that Bush and Cheney all but flew planes into the WTC themselves...so what else CAN it be?
Point out that you wouldn’t have sick and mentally incompetent people operating on you or flying airliners, so why on earth are the American people entrusting them with the nation’s secuirty!!!!!????
There’s clear evidence the surge is working and these dangerously insane treasonous idiots still say the war is lost and HAS been lost for some several YEARS now!
If they’re not on medications for their illness, they’re in desperate need of them, and if they are, they’re not taking them or not taking the right meds. or the right dose!
Pipe dream I know, but this is the only thing I can see right now to DO about these moonbat loons!
and when we’re hit again they’ll accuse Bush of being asleep at the switch, or not paying enough attention to terrorists and “not spending enough money” on the problem.
On Sept 11, 2001 - the Dems cried out why the dots were not connected! The First was the Gorlick 'WALL' that prevented interaction between CIA and FBI. The second reason was that the dems didn't want to update the laws for monitoring terrorists that were based upon the old rotary dial phone era. The blood will be on the Dems hands if this results in our intel not being able to collect the data needed to stop the next attack.
Thank you Godzilla.
I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you musicman for putting this cartoon up.
It sizes up the situation.

BIG DITTO.
“I recognize (insert her name here) is no longer in contol of his (her) faculties and I propose we...(this or that).

REALLY BIG DITTO.
“There’s clear evidence the surge is working...”
You are absolutely correct.

Exactly!
