Bush Battles Back on Eavesdropping

Good. It's time to give up on the futile "uniter" crap. If the Disloyal Opposition wants a political war, well, we're capable of fighting on two fronts:

President Bush said Saturday he personally has authorized a secret eavesdropping program in the U.S. more than 30 times since the Sept. 11 attacks and he lashed out at those involved in publicly revealing the program. "This is a highly classified program that is crucial to our national security," he said in a radio address delivered live from the White House's Roosevelt Room.

I was so tired of Bush's Silent Cal act. It left him open to charges of secrecy and chicanery, and it let the Disloyal Opposition rip into him without defense or counterpunch.

This heartens me.

"This authorization is a vital tool in our war against the terrorists. It is critical to saving American lives. The American people expect me to do everything in my power, under our laws and Constitution, to protect them and their civil liberties and that is exactly what I will continue to do as long as I am president of the United States," Bush said.

Angry members of Congress have demanded an explanation of the program, first revealed in Friday's New York Times and whether the monitoring by the National Security Agency violates civil liberties.

Defending the program, Bush said in his address that it is used only to intercept the international communications of people inside the United States who have been determined to have "a clear link" to al- Qaida or related terrorist organizations.

He said the program is reviewed every 45 days, using fresh threat assessments, legal reviews by the Justice Department, White House counsel and others, and information from previous activities under the program.

Without identifying specific lawmakers, Bush said congressional leaders have been briefed more than a dozen times on the program's activities.

It's time to identify them. Let the country know these people were kept in the loop and did not voice objections. And then, for purely political reasons, at the expense of sabotaging our nation's security, they attacked the President for doing what they acquiesced in, or let their confederates do the dirty work for them.

There are real questions about civil liberties and national security and the necessary tradeoffs each requires. But no genuine debate can be had with the Disloyal Opposition engaging in such dishonestly partisan sniping at every turn.

Time for the gloves to come off.

The MSM and the bureacracy in Washington continue their attacks through vile and hypocritical behaviour. This is so much BULLSHIT!!!

The same people who shout VALERIE PLAME, will tout and try to protect these folks who would let our enemies do us harm.

George Bush was elected Commander in Chief, and he is using the tools to do his job

The Primary responibility of the Government of the United States is the protection of this nation. The Dems, the MSM, and the Government Bureacracies, have proven that they cannot be trusted to fulfill that responsibility.

These traitors must be vanquished and their heads mounted on the White House gates as examples of traiterous scum who would give our nation away to the enemy.

One important point: The President says that the program will continue.

I don't have a clue how damaging this is to our intel program, but ....the dirty rotton low down scoundrels who leaked need to be found, prosecuted and their carreers officially ended.

Posted by: rls on December 17, 2005 12:54 PM

It's time to identify them.

Would it be that difficult to figure out who they are and confront them?

Posted by: on December 17, 2005 01:15 PM

Probably pretty safe that Jay Rockefeller is one of them.

Posted by: Moonbat_One on December 17, 2005 01:27 PM

"....the dirty rotton low down scoundrels who leaked need to be found, prosecuted and their carreers officially ended."

Damn skippy. It pisses me off that the MSM and the Democrats have a shit fit over ex-covert-turned-desk-jockey Valerie Plame being "outed" (which she wasn't) but they don't bother to question who leaked the CIA bases in Europe or the eavesdropping program. I guess if it makes Bush look bad, you don't have to investigate--unless Bush or one of his people did the outing in which case it's fire at will.

Posted by: CT on December 17, 2005 01:30 PM

This is clearly part of the new communications strategy in which the White House is engaged. As others have said ---- Way Past Due.

The only thing missing is a full-scale attack on the media. No reservations or 'nuances'. They are at best defeatist and at worst seditious.

It's them or us and I really really really want it to be them.

Posted by: dougf on December 17, 2005 02:17 PM

would have to be members of the Intelligence committee, which includes Rockefeller.

out em.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on December 17, 2005 02:47 PM

Way past time to questions their patriotism.

Posted by: holdfast on December 17, 2005 03:21 PM

To an American: patriotism = love & SUPPORT our country

To a lib: patriotism = hate GW and make our country suffer humiliation

Take it for what it's worth, but under that definition, the Rockyfellers, Tubby Teddies and Chicken Chuckies are all patriots. Even John "Cut-and Run" Murtha is a patriot.

Yeah, right.

Am I saying the moonbats are not Americans? No, I'm saying they are not the patriots they pretend to be. People like Swimmer Ted have ridden on the power of their daddies' money and his brother's reputation long enough. It's time now to call them on their seditious propaganda.

I think the State Dept. needs a cleansing. These people think that just because the guy they voted for didn't win that gives them the right to undermine national security. Arrest them, and arrest the NYT reporters who printed this stuff.

New York Times...Al Queda's bestest buddy.

That piece of shit Bush is going down this time. Even Republicans, other than the mindless sheep that will excuse anything, will not accept the trashing of the constitution.

Let the Impeachment good times roll.

Posted by: Still a Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 05:52 PM

PLV, are you able to actually demonstrate what was unconstitutional here, or did you just hear that from someone else?

You know, while you were in the alley giving blowjobs to strangers for money after school.

Posted by: Sortelli on December 17, 2005 05:55 PM

He broke the law big time Sortelli, you ignorant fool, and only a little Hitler loving, America hating prick like you will excuse it.

Posted by: Still a Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 05:58 PM

Just in case anyone was wondering, I don't post here anymore. Fags!

Posted by: Still a Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 06:09 PM

I just want to keep an eye on how far you traitors will go to trash the constitution and my freedom.

Like usual, all talk, and no action.

Posted by: Still a Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 06:15 PM

Unlike my boyfriend, who's all action, let me tell you!

Posted by: Still a Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 06:19 PM

Which law, PLV? Because you're asking us to believe that those Hitler loving America hating pricks at the NEW YORK TIMES sat on this for a year knowing that Bush was breaking this phantom law of yours that would get him impeached.

Use your head for something other than orally pleasuring men old enough to be your father and answer the question.

Posted by: on December 17, 2005 06:23 PM

Did you guys know that if you practice streching for 30 minutes every night you can eventually suck your own cock?

Of course, it's easier to let the dog do it, but sometimes I just like the taste of my own cum.

Posted by: Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 06:36 PM

I don't need to suck my own cock, fag! That's what Uncle Jimmy is for. He's the one who got me voting Democrat. I think it was the whole NAMBLA thing that really convinced me.

Posted by: Still a Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 06:39 PM

Anyone know who the fag stalker is that keeps pretending to be me?

Posted by: Still a Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 06:48 PM

Because I really want to pleasure him orally. What a fag!

Posted by: Still a Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 06:54 PM

I want to know who the asslicker who keeps pretending that he's a vet is. C'mon, PLV. What grade are you in? Junior high or high school? It's time to come clean.

And not like you did in the shower with the gym teacher, either. That was just wrong and he should be charged with sodomizing a minor.

Posted by: Sortelli on December 17, 2005 07:09 PM

My 32 year old boyfriend teaches me all kinds of things. Thanks to him I know how Bush is a Nazi and also all about ass fisting.

I'm still pretty tight back there, but after a few more sessions I'll be ready to take it from the whole soccer team! I can't wait!

Posted by: Still A Proud Liberal Vet on December 17, 2005 07:35 PM

Does anyone else find it disturbing that the NYT is on record as saying they sat on this story for a year because it could compromise national security, but but now a year later, at a poltically opportune moment I might add, they decide to release it? So what changed between now and then? Is it not still compromising to our national security? The NYT is on record saying it was, so by publishing this article now, they are purposefully and intentionally compromising national security. By admitting they knew it was a security risk and then thumbing it's nose and publishing it anyway, constitutes an act of high treason, and all involved should be arrested and tried as well as being forced to give up their source who leaked them the info so they/he/she can be arrested and tried as well. Period.

Your're right, RC. It does two things. It kills the renewal of the Patriot Act.

And, it sells a book.

Posted by: LarryLion on December 18, 2005 03:13 AM

I want to suck LarryLion's cock cause I'm a gay cowboy.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
