Here is a key quote from President Bush’s State of the Union address on Tuesday.
“It is said that prior to the attacks of September the 11th, our government failed to connect the dots of the conspiracy. We now know that two of the hijackers in the United States placed telephone calls to al Qaeda operatives overseas. But we did not know about their plans until it was too late. So to prevent another attack –- based on authority given to me by the Constitution and by statute -- I have authorized a terrorist surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international communications of suspected al Qaeda operatives and affiliates to and from America. Previous Presidents have used the same constitutional authority I have, and federal courts have approved the use of that authority. Appropriate members of Congress have been kept informed. The terrorist surveillance program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains essential to the security of America. If there are people inside our country who are talking with al Qaeda, we want to know about it, because we will not sit back and wait to be hit again.”
Unfortunately, the program that has helped to prevent further terrorist attacks has been severely damaged and thereby has damaged America’s security. Yesterday, CIA director Porter Goss said exactly that as he testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee. "The damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission… I use the words `very severe' intentionally. And I think the evidence will show that," Goss said. He asked that a federal grand jury be empanelled to determine "who is leaking this information."
Goss also noted that not only have the leaks made it difficult for the CIA to gather information on our Islamo-terror-fascists enemy, but they have also made foreign intelligence agencies mistrustful of our CIA. After all, if you cannot trust the spy guys to keep a national security secret, who can you trust?
Because the leaks caused "disruption to our plans, things that we have under way," Goss has “called in the FBI, the Department of Justice.” Goss said, “It is my aim and it is my hope that we will witness a grand jury investigation with reporters present, being asked to reveal who is leaking this information." Hopefully, a few will opt for extended jail sentences.
DemoRATS were running for the tall grass, or is that switch grass? Senator J Rockhead (RAT WV) said, "The president has not only confirmed the existence of the program, he has spoken at length about it repeatedly," while keeping Congress in the dark, said the clueless WV dope.
Hey J, the president only talked about the program AFTER the propaganda arm of the DemoRAT Party and coincidently Islamo-terror-fascists (aka the MSM) exposed the program. How dumb are you anyway?
Next, the president only talked about the program to set the record straight from the distortions about it from nincompoops like, who, oh yeah, YOU. Idiotic “colossal jewels of glittering ignorance” (aka DemoRATS) continue to refer to the program as “domestic spying” - as if the feds are peering over old lady Johnson’s privacy fence to see what she’s growing in her garden. The program, Sen. Rockhead, is targeting international Islamo-terror-fascists.
Last, congress was briefed on the program. You, yourself, wrote a CYA memo on the subject. Given your suspect honesty, the memo was probably written only after the story broke. But given the collective mental acumen of politicians, I’ll give you a pass for claiming that you were never briefed on the program that you supposedly wrote a memo to yourself about. That sadly would be about par for dolts like you.
The good news is that there will be hearing that will expose caterwauling DemoRATS for what they are – a group of “patriotic” Americans more interested in the demise of GWB than the protection of their own country. Let’s vote.
