Bush Administration (Corporate Interests, Aristocracy, Punish the Citizenry) 

FACT: Soon after 911, the Senate recently voted 100-0 to federalize airport security. The House Republicans and Bush, however, think that private companies should provide airline security, which makes sense since it has obviously worked flawlessly up to this point. 

COMMENT: Unfortunately, it seems that the Republicans paranoid fear of  "big government" trumps any need for public security via decent airport security..

George W. Bush (Lost Intelligence) 

FACT: When a nuclear scientist was accused of selling secrets to the Chinese, Republicans couldn't blame Clinton fast enough. Since this "Logic" is so compelling and useful, we thought we could apply it to some of the things that Bush has done since the coup. First, and foremost, he handed over of one of our spy plane to the Chinese, killed a bunch of school kids in a Japanese fishing boat, pulled out of the Kyoto agreement, and misspoke about Taiwan, The Stupid One decided that now would be a great time to piss off everyone else on the planet by scrapping the Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty so he could spend another hundred billion dollars on the Star Wars program. 

George W. Bush (Proliferation) 

FACT: Vladimir Putin announced that if America abandoned the ABM treaty and went ahead with the missile shield, the Russians would simply upgrade their nuclear arsenal with multiple-warhead ICBMs. Cheap and effective, these missiles would easily be able to overwhelm any defense shield we could put up. Of course, the ABM treaty previously banned these weapons - 

COMMENT: but as Dubya has oft reminded us, that's just an old relic. So crank up the nukes, baby, 'cause "the Cold War is over". Uhhhhh..Yup. 

George W. Bush (Incompetence, Terrorism, National Security) 

FACT: The seven Democrats and seven Republicans serving on the Hart-Rudman Commission, which had been put together in 1998 by then-President Bill Clinton and then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., to make sweeping strategic recommendations on how the United States could ensure its security in the 21st century, delivered their report to the Bush administration, with 50 unanimously approved recommendations. The commission recommended the formation of a Cabinet-level position to combat terrorism. The proposed National Homeland Security Agency director would have "responsibility for planning, coordinating, and integrating various U.S. government activities involved in homeland security," according to the commission's executive summary. Other recommendations: U.S. foreign policy should strive to shape an international system in which just grievances can be addressed without violence. Verifiable arms control and nonproliferation efforts must remain a top priority to help persuade states and terrorists to abjure weapons of mass destruction. The development of new transportation security procedures and practices was urged. Said Gary Hart, "We said Americans will likely die on American soil, possibly in large numbers - that's a quote (from the commission's Phase One Report)." The Bush administration does nothing. 

COMMENT: Bush did absolutely nothing until after the fact (911), and even then he blatantly acted contrary to some of these recommendations, including arms control and nonproliferation issues. Bush also opposed the Airport Security bill (Passed 100-0 in the Senate) that put airport security in the hands of the government instead of underpaid, undertrained and underscreened private "security" workers. It seems that the lives of Americans subordinate the heinous crime of expanding government.
