Headline reads: Bush says Congress putting US in danger

The headline should read, " America says Bush puts U.S. in danger!" Here we have fear mongering by this President and his Vice President, along with the Republican Lackeys. They are worrying over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act not being approved by Congress. It is set to expire Feb. 1st. The Bill authorizes for the spying on all foreign and domestic calls without getting approval from the FISA Court. The argument is that the "red tape" causes delays and we will be vulnerable to attacks when the law expires. What a bunch of Bull.

First, according to all intelligence accounts, Al-Qaeda takes as much as 5 years to plan an attack. We have been spying supposedly on them all this time since the law was approved back after 9-11, so the fact that Congress is going out on a 10 day recess, doesn't make us any more vulnerable than having Bush in office another 10 days. Oops, maybe I should really be concerned after all. Congress please take this Bill up when you return from recess and this time vote it down officially! The Bush Administration must get approval from the FISA Court and the Telephone companies should not be granted immunity for going along with the Bush Administration attempts to circumvent the Court.

Terrorist tape taunts us not to leave Iraq

According to AP in an article today, "A new video of al-Qaeda's No. 2 leader released on Saturday mocks President Bush and U.S. legislation requiring the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, saying the bill would rob the group's fighters of the chance to kill more Americans."

When al-Qaeda asks you to do something, do the opposite. If they mock us for withdrawing, that is exactly what we need to do. Osama bin Laden's deputy Ayman al-Zawahri taunted Bush today according to AP, "recounting an April 12 suicide bombing in Baghdad's heavily protected Green Zone when an attacker slipped through security and killed a Sunni legislator in the Iraqi parliament's cafeteria. An al-Qaeda-led amalgam of Sunni insurgents in Iraq claimed responsibility.

'And lest Bush worry, I congratulate him on the success of his security plan, and I invite him on the occasion for a glass of juice, but in the cafeteria of the Iraqi parliament in the middle of the Green Zone,' al-Zawahri said."

Looking at the AP Photo above, it looks as though the picture was taken in an educated person's home from the books on the shelves. It is a guess but I would wager it is in Pakistan and this backdrop was used to embarass President Musharraf and anger the U.S., as they continue to use Pakistan as a safe haven.

Terrorist plot against Saudi's- What should be our reaction?

Shocking plot to attack Saudi Arabia seems to be uncovered with the Saudi's arresting 172 people suspected of targeting senior officials and the important Oil fields. If successful the whole world would have been in turmoil, as it would have disrupted the Oil supply to all countries, which includes our friends and our enemies. This report by ABDULLAH SHIHRI, Associated Press Writer a few minutes ago, runs chills through my spine and brings the images of 9/11 back in focus. The world has gone mad as if bitten by a rabid dog and unfortunately there is no injection to prevent the rabies from causing death.

There is a solution to this problem but it is a difficult choice for the U.S. and the world. We in the U.S. must first get the President and VP's attention to engage in an intensive summit searching for an end to the fighting in Iraq and a removal of all U.S. troops form the country. We must also put the Isreali/Palestinean conflict resolution on the table and work towards a 2 State solution, which will help create a peace in the Middle East. This was clearly spelled out in the Iraq Study Group Report. This President and VP have no interest in promoting this course of action. Their Oil interests are well known. Therefore, Articles of Impeachment should be acted upon, as time is running out. The possibility of a world in flames is very real. The sophistication of the Al-Qaeda plot should get everyone concerned and moved to action. Let's fight the real war with the rest of the world and fight Al-Qaeda together. And let's stop world leader's excuses for not helping us, by taking away the impediment and leaving Iraq. It's time for the "i" word: IMPEACHMENT. This would make a statement to the world: The American people are in charge of their country and not held hostage to perilous strategies by an incompetent President and Vice President.
