Today's Bush radio address: "We're a nation in danger"
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040807.html

I agree with the conclusion of the 9/11 Commission. Because of these steps at home and abroad, our country is safer than it was on September the 11th, 2001. Yet, we're still not safe. The elevation of the threat level in New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. is a grim reminder of the dangers we continue to face. Information from arrests in Pakistan, taken together with information gathered by the U.S. intelligence community, indicated that al Qaeda has cased financial targets in New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., and has recently updated their targeting information. This information was buttressed by other information we already had.

In the coming days, I will issue a series of directives to various departments on essential steps for the government on the war on terror. As we take these steps, our nation is grateful to the dedicated, hardworking men and women of our intelligence community who are working day and night to keep our country safe. We're a nation in danger. We're doing everything we can in our power to confront the danger. We're making good progress in protecting our people and bringing our enemies to account. But one thing is certain: We'll keep our focus, we'll keep our resolve, and we will do our duty to best secure our country.

2. And he calls Kerry a flip-flopper
That boy flops worse than a fish on a deck. He's so fucked and he knows it. His handlers know it too. They tried too hard too fast to push their PNAC neo-con agenda and it backfired on them.

4. "We'll do our best to secure our country..."
"An' if that requires y'all to give up some of yor Rights fer a while, well, thet's just the Price of Freedom..."

My girlfriend thinks he's going to steal the election, or enough of the stupid Sheeple will have happy thoughts of having a beer with Dumbya to put him back in.

I say he's going to steal the whole fucking country, Sheeple and all. And the Sheeple will believe him when he says "You're all in GRAVE DANGER! But please, go to WalMart and the Mall, and to help, Ah'm gonna give y'all back MORE of YOUR money!!"

10. You're right on that...he praises the Patriot Act as well:
"We're using the tools of the Patriot Act to track terrorists within our borders, and stop them before they kill our people. We have transformed the FBI to focus on the prevention of terrorist attacks. We've established a Terrorist Threat Integration Center, to merge and analyze foreign and domestic intelligence on global terror in a single place. And we are sharing that intelligence in unprecedented ways with local officials and first responders who need it to protect our communities."

It's great that he's using the Patriot Act to track terrorists "within" our borders, since this administration has already proven itself powerless (or unwilling) to stop illegals CROSSING the borders...
