High Drama
DCLaw.... Your little serial had such a nice ending, which is always difficult to accomplish in fiction. Pelosi's fingernails were an especially nice touch.
From the department of self-defeating irony: Why would any RWA with two brain cells to rub together EVER post, in its devastating entiretly, the Aug. 6 PDB? Perhaps the most nauseating detail of the disastrous reign of Bush was that he responded to such a specific and alarming piece of intelligence by continuing to do anything but his job. Admittedly, given his rather embarrassing performance at his other "jobs" throughout his worthless life, it's rather uncharitable to expect such an unmitigated failure to rise to the occasion, but honestly, deliberate complicity would have at least shown some initiative.
After all, preventing hijackings are clearly a federal responsibility, and a simple measure of beefed-up airline security could have been accomplished with the stroke of a pen. Indeed, the visibility of such a move might have given the terrorists cold feet, or if not, the security measures might have netted some high-profile arrests, thereby casting a flattering light on his illegitimate, faltering presidency.
No so-called "antiterror" measures he has tried since has done half that much, and indeed have saddled us with more deserved opprobrium from friends and delighted ridicule from enemies than anyone could have imagined in those innocent times.
Keeping us safe? Give me a break.
All Bush cares about is the Enemy at Home, as his record makes startlingly plain, and everything he says and does enables, encourages, and emboldens actual terrorists.
Now, in our supposed hour of greatest Danger, where is the Coward-in-Chief?
At least he's consistent.
